SHIFTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED A/C COMPRESSOR NEEDS REPLACED SEAT BELT LIGHT/AIR BAG LIGHT ISSUE

ELECTRICAL ISSUE, MY CAR WOULDN'T START SAYING INCORRECT KEY, WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD THE BATTERY POST HAD COMPLETELY BURNED OFF, WIRES WAS BURNT, AND BATTERY EXPLODED. THE FUSIBLE LINK FOR THE TERMINAL BREAKER FOR THE BATTERY WAS ALSO BURNT, EVERY NOW AND THEN WHEN I WENT TO START MY CAR IT WOULD SAY KEY NOT DETECTABLE OR WRONG KEY ID. I THOUGHT THE BATTERY IN THE KEY PROBE WAS GOING OUT REPLACED IT AND THE PROBLEM STILL WAS PRESENT. I HAVE 2 CO-WORKERS AND THERE VEHICLE ARE DOING THE SAME THING ONE HAS A 2014 AND THE OTHER IS A 2016 BRAND NEW HAD LESS THAN 6 MONTHS. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON AND MY VEHICLE ALMOST CAUGHT ON FIRE.

ENGINE START PROBLEMS! WHEN I PUSH THE ENGINE START BUTTON, THE ENGINE CRANK AND START ENGINE. AND THE DASHBOARD SCREEN ARE ALL RENEW LIKE A FACTORY RESET.

THE NISSAN ALTIMA STARTS THROUGH A TECHNOLOGY CALLED "PUSH TO START". WHEN I GET INTO MY VEHICLE, THE DASHBOARD SAYS "KEY ID INCORRECT". THIS STARTED HAPPENING SHORTLY AFTER MY CAR WAS PROGRAMMED FOR AN AIRBAG RECALL AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR WILL NOT START SINCE YOU NEED THE KEY TO START THE CAR. THERE IS NO MANUAL WAY TO START THE CAR, AND IF THE KEY IS NOT RECOGNIZED FOR TOO LONG THE CAR HAS STOPPED DRIVING WHILE IN MOTION. LASTLY, THE CAR WILL NOT LOCK WHEN YOU ARE INSIDE AND THE KEY ID IS NOT BEING RECOGNIZED. IF YOU ARE IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION THIS CAN BE PROBLEMATIC.

2013 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S WAS SERVICED ON DECEMBER 19, 2016 AT PLANET NISSAN 5850 CENTENNIAL CENTER BLVD. LAS VEGAS, NV 89149 DEALER PERFORMED R1609 OCS RECALL & PC490 CVT REPROGRAM RECALL. DURING THESE PROCESS SOME ELECTRICAL ITEMS DAMAGE. NOW CVT (CONTINUES VARIABLE TRANSMISSION) IS FAILING. ON APRIL 6, 2017 TOOK VEHICLE TO AUTONATION NISSAN LAS VEGAS 5800 W. SAHARA AVE THE SERVICE CONSULTANT SAID CVT IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACE BUT NISSAN DO NOT WANT TO PAY. VEHICLE DRIVES BUT WHEN YOU REACH 25-35 MILES PER HOUR IT JERKS, ALSO 65 MILES PER HOUR IT JERKS THEN IT LOOSES POWER, VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP AND IT DOES NOT MOVE. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD. NISSAN NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS INJURED.

PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT INDICATES AIRBAG IS "INHIBITED" EVEN THOUGH MY WIFE IS RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. SHE HAS NO PROTECTION FROM THE AIRBAG IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPARE TIRE WAS FAULTY. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RECEIVE A RESPONSE TO DETERMINE IF A REPLACEMENT COULD BE PROVIDED. IN ADDITION, THE CENTER CONSOLE WAS UNSTABLE IN THE VEHICLE, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL/CLUSTER SHORTED SEVERAL TIMES, AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN OF WHAT THE DEALER DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. THE CONTACT NO LONGER OWNED THE VEHICLE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES.

I DROVE MY CAR ON FEBRUARY 28 FROM MY GARAGE IN MY HOUSE IN BOLTON, MA TO LEXINGTON MA AT 9 AM. UPON STARTING, I NOTICED A SLIGHT STRANGE SMELL. IT WAS A BIT LIKE OIL OR MAYBE CHEMICAL SMELLS BUT I AM NOT SURE AS I HAD NOT SMELLED THIS BEFORE. I ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOWS AS I DROVE TO CLEAR IT AND KEPT AN EYE ON THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE, WHICH WAS NORMAL. AFTER 5 MINS, THE SMELL CLEARED, THE HEAT TEMP WAS NORMAL AND I DROVE FOR ABOUT 40 MINS WHILE TALKING ON MY BLUETOOTH. I PARKED IN FRONT OF GRACE CHAPEL IN LEXINGTON ON THE STREET AND AS I PULLED TO A STOP TO PARK ON THE STREET IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH, I NOTICED SOME SMOKE. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE CAR. WITHIN MOMENTS THERE WERE FLAMES AND I CALLED 911 AS I GOT OUT. I...

I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE GEAR LOCK NOT ALLOWING ME TO GET OUT OF PARK. I HAVE PUSH TO START AND MY CAR STARTS WITH NO PROBLEMS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE GEARS TO MOVE IS BY PUSHING DOWN THE GEAR RELEASE LOCK. I DO IT HAVE A VIDEO BUT THERE ARE COMPLAINTS OF THI AND VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE!

WOKE UP YESTERDAY TO A WEAK BATTERY NO START STEERING WONT LOCK.SO IT HAS TO BE TOWED CVT TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ALREADY ,IT WAS REPLACED ,AIR BAG FOR [PASSENGER} SOMETIMES WORKS ITS THE 2ND NEW CAR I EVER OWNED AND IM 54 YEARS OLD IM SO DISAPPOINTED AT THIS CAR IT MUST HAVE BEEN BUILT ON A FRIDAY.

SHIFT LOCKS IN PARK LEAVING ME IN A NON-OPERATING SITUATION AT A GAS STATION. LUCKILY I HAD A SCREW DRIVER IN MY GLOVE BOX WAS ABLE TO LOCATE AND PUSH DOWN ON THE "SHIFT RELEASE" BUTTON ALLOWING ME TO MOVE INTO DRIVE. SINCE THE INCIDENT, THE SHIFT CONSISTENTLY LOCKS IN PARK POSITION AND @38K, HAVE SURPASSED THE WARRANTY WITH NISSAN. UNFORTUNATELY NISSAN DOESN'T SELL THE SOLENOID SEPARATELY AND HAD TO PURCHASE THE FULL ASSEMBLY @$451.90 + $250 LABOR. SINCE 1990, I'VE CONSISTENTLY HELD ONTO MY CAR FOR 8 - 10 YEARS AVERAGING 150K MI. PER VEHICLE. I REALLY HOPE THIS FLAGS THE ATTENTION AND FITS THE PROTOCOL OF A RECALL.

I AM UNABLE TO SHIFT CAR OUT OF PARK WITHOUT DEFEATING THE INTERLOCK. I HAVE TO USE SOMETHING LIKE A SCREW DRIVER TO PUSH SOMETHING IN THE SMALL HOLE NEXT TO THE SHIFTER EVERY TIME I NEED TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR. SUSPECT THE SWITCH OR SOLENOID OR WIRING CONNECTED TO BRAKE PEDAL FAILED. THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER THE CAR IS IN PARK AND NOT MOVING.

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MY CHILDREN AND I WERE INJURED. I SERVICED MY CAR AT NISSAN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL TWICE. I RECEIVED A RECALL FROM NHTSA AND NISSAN WOULDN'T COMPLY. EVERY TIME I'VE TAKEN MY CAR FOR THE BRAKE PADS TO BE SERVICED I ONLY NEED ROTORS NEVER BRAKE PADS! THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE FOR NO REASON WHAT SO EVER THIS CAR IS A CLUNKER!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF THE DRIVE GEAR. THE CONTACT, WHO HAD AN INFANT PRESENT, HAD TO ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY HAZARD LIGHTS AND RECEIVED HELP PUSHING THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT PLACED A SCREWDRIVER IN THE GEAR SHIFTER TO HELP CHANGE GEARS, AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE ON THE THIRD ATTEMPT. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE SHIFTER CYLINDER WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000.

I BOUGHT A NISSAN ALTIMA 2013. BACK IN FEBRUARY THE CAR WOULD START AND WOULD SHUT OFF WHEN I PUT IT ON DRIVE AND REVERSE. THIS HAPPEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND LEFT IT THERE FOR A MONTH AND THEY STILL WERE NOT ABLE TO TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. EVEN THOUGH A TECHNICIAN DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM THE CAR COMPUTER WOULD STILL SAY THE CAR IS FINE .I TOOK IT TO GET A SECOND OPINION FROM A NISSAN MASTER TECHNICIAN AND THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. AFTER ABOUT A MONTH THE CAR STARTED WORKING AGAIN. I WAS TOLD BY A 3RD PLACE I TOOK THE CAR THAT IT MIGHT BE A SENSOR ISSUE AND THE CAR LITERALLY DECIDES WHEN'S GOING TO WORK AND NOT AND THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE...

AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING OFF N ON W NO PASSENGER...SCARED SOMETHINGS NOT GONNA WORK IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. CAR JERKING ON HGHWY NOT ACCELERATING ..N LOSS OF POWER MID DRIVE OR TURN..I HAVE KIDS N THIS IS BECOMING A DEATH TRAP..W NO CK ENGINE LIGHT .

INTERMITTENTLY THE CAR IS COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. THE ENGINE STARTS VIBRATING WHILE SLOWING DOWN OR BRAKING AND TURNS OFF. IT WILL START IMMEDIATELY7-8 TIMES IN A ROW BUT WILL TURN TURN OFF AS SOON AS THE TRANSMISSION IS PUT INTO DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5-6 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS. WE HAVE TAKEN THIS TO THE NISSAN DEALER ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL US THEY CAN'T FIX IT BECAUSE THERE ARE NO CODES SHOWING UP! OUR CONCERN IS THE NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND THERE IS NO RECALL FOR WHATEVER IS CAUSING THIS.

I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW YEAR 2013 IN 2014 I NOTICED A ROARING NOISE WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET AT SLOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. AROUND CHRISTMAS EVE I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE CAR DIED OUT ON ME ON THE STREET. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY DID THEIR DIAGNOSIS. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR 5 DAYS, THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR WHICH THEY SAID HAD INTERNAL PROBLEMS AND ALSO REPROGRAM THE SYSTEM OF THE COMPUTER OF THE CAR AT 29,326 MILES WHICH IS ODD TO ME BECAUSE IT WAS A NEWER CAR. SO NOW ITS 2016 AND I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK IN TO THE DEALER TODAY BECAUSE IT SEEMED AS THE WINDOWS WOULD ROLL DOWN SLOW, THE CAR WOULDNT ACCELERATE RIGHT AWAY WHEN PUSHING DOWN ON THE GAS (STALLING) AND IT WOULD SHAKE WHILE DRIVING OR AT A STOP, AND WHEN COMING...

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000.

AIRBAG SENSOR DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, THE LIGHT TURNS ON WARNING THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN A PERSON IS BUCKLED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT I'VE NOTICED THIS ISSUE FOR OVER A YEAR. MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP IGNORED MY COMPLAINT A YEAR AGO WHEN I ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT IT.

WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL AUTOMATICALLY RETURNS TO THE OFF POSITION AFTER A RIGHT HAND TURN, THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL STARTS BLINKING.

DASHBOARD CLUSTER WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. LOST SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER AND ALL OTHER GAUGES ETC. CAR ONLY HAD 55,000 MILES ON IT. I TURNED MY CAR ON AND STARTED DRIVING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, ON MY WAY TO THE NISSAN DEALER TO FIX OTHER RECALLS, WHEN IT WENT OUT. I PULLED OVER, RESTARTED MY CAR AND STILL NOTHING. HAD TO EXIT CAR TO SEE IF LIGHTS/BLINKERS WERE WORKING AND THEY STILL WERE, BUT NO SIGN FROM INSIDE THAT THEY WERE. DROVE TO DEALER WITHOUT SPEEDOMETER ETC FOR AN APPOINTMENT AT NISSAN DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING. NISSAN NOT EVEN WILLING TO ADMIT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE REVVED AND ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND.

FOR UNKNOWN REASONS, THE BRAKES STAY ON CAUSING THE CAR TO EITHER NOT MOVE, OR TO GO INTO LIMP MODE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE GEAR SHIFTER CAN BE MOVED OUT OF PARK WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE. ALSO, THE CAR CAN BE STARTED WITHOUT HAVING TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. SOMETIMES, THE OUTSIDE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON, SOMETIMES THEY DON'T. I REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH AND MANUALLY OPERATING THE SWITCH WOULD NOT MAKE LIGHTS GO OFF. SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING, THE BRAKE SYSTEM WILL RELEASE AND VEHICLE ACCELERATES RAPIDLY, TO THE POINT OF LOSING CONTROL. SOMETIMES, A QUICK PUMP OF THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL RELEASE WHATEVER IS GOING ON-SOMETIMES NOTHING WILL CAUSE IT TO GO BACK TO NORMAL. REMOVING THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE WILL TURN OFF THE LIGHTS, BUT WILL NOT RESET THE PROBLEM. DEALER HAS NO SUGGESTIONS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, EXCEPT TO LET THEM KEEP THE CAR AND TO...

LOUD VIBRATING SOUND WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AT 40MPH AND 70MPH. AT LOW RPMS TO CAR ALSO VIBRATES AROUND 25MPH. IT ALSO VIBRATES AT 40MPH AND 70MPH WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR.

BRAND NEW VEHICLE JUST SHY OF 1 YEAR BOUGHT AND CHECK ENGINE GOES ON TWICE FOR REPROGRAM OF OXYGEN SENSOR, ONCE IN TOWN BEFORE THANKSGIVING WEEK IN NOVEMBER 2014 AND A SECOND TIME WHILE OUT OF TOWN FOR THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAYS. FRUSTRATING THAT I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER TO GET FIXED AND IT WASN'T DONE THE FIRST TIME. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY JUST CLEARED THE SYSTEM AND THE LIGHT AND IT CAME BACK ON WHILE OUT OF TOWN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.

THIS IS A COMBINATION OF PROBLEMS. APPROXIMATELY AROUND NOV. 7, 2015 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE AT THE DEALER (ALMOST ONE YEAR AFTER THE LAST TIME). I HAVE NOT OWNED MY VEHICLE 2 YEARS YET. I THOUGHT THEY HAD TAKEN CARE OF IT WHEN THEY TOLD ME THE LIGHT SHOULDN'T COME BACK ON. THEY SAID THE CODE WAS FOR REPROGRAMMING THE MASS AIR SYSTEM. ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER THE SAME LIGHT CAME ON BUT THIS TIME I LOST ACCELERATION AGAIN WHILE GETTING ON THE FREEWAY. I HAD A COUPLE OF CLOSE CALLS ON BEING REAR-ENDED WHILE HAVING MY SON IN THE CAR. I HAD TO GET OFF IMMEDIATELY AND DRIVE DOWN TO THE DEALER WHICH TOOK ME IT SEEMED FOREVER BECAUSE IT WOULD BARELY MOVE. I HAD TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE AS IT WAS CLOSING.

ON DEC. 2ND, 2015 WHILE DRIVING HOME I WAS APPROACHING A STOPPED CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND TRIED TO SLOW BELOW THE 20MPH I WAS DRIVING AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND ALL DASH LIGHTS WENT BLANK AND THE CAR STALLED RESULTING IN A COLLISION.
