2013 NISSAN ALTIMA Unknown Or Other Problems

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK EVEN WHEN PUSHING THE BUTTON ON THE GEAR SHIFT - THE BUTTON TO PUSH ON THE CONSOLE WOULD NOT ENGAGE AND RELEASE IT FROM PARK EITHER - WE WERE AT A GAS STATION ON AN 1800 MILE TRIP - I FINALLY BROKE THE BUTTON ON THE CONSOLE AND STUCK MY SUNGLASSES BOW INTO THE CONSOLE BUTTON AND NOW I HAVE TO DO THAT EVERY TIME I DRIVE. IT'S REALLY MORE A MATTER OF INCONVENIENCE THAN ANYTHING BUT CONSIDERING WHAT CONSUMERS PAY FOR CARS THE EXPECTATION IS EVERYTHING SHOULD WORK AT LEAST UNTIL THE FIRST TIRE CHANGE

RECENTLY I CAUGHT A FLAT AND PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULDER ON I95 TO PUT ON MY SPEAR TIRE AFTER I WAS FINISH AND GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND WAS PROCEEDING TO PULL OFF,I COULDN'T. TURNS OUT MY SHIFTER WAS STUCK IN PARK AND WOULD NOT MOVE. BEING STRANDED ON THE SHOULDER OF I95 WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR UNTIL A TOW TRUCK CAME WAS A VERY FEARFUL MOMENT AND FEELING KNOWING THAT THE CARS AND TRUCK ZIPPING BYE CAN POSSIBLY HIT ME BY ACCIDENT WHILE I WAIT ON THE SHOULDER WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK. AFTER THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER CAME TO ME AND MY FAMILY'S RESCUE AND THE HE SHOWED ME HOW TO BYPASS THE SHIFT LOCK RELEASE. AFTER EXPERIENCING SUCH A HORRIFIC ORDEAL I DECIDE TO RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM AND COME TO FIND OUT IT SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE THAT MANY (2013-15) NISSAN...

EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE MY BRAKES, WHICH ALSO STARTS MY CAR WILL OCCASIONALLY FEEL LIKE THEY GET STUCK SOUNDS AS IF THEY MIGHT BE RUSTY AND WHEN I APPLY PRESSURE THEY CATCH. I WILL APPLY AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY CLICK DOWN. I'M AFRAID THE LONGER IT GOES ON SOONER OR LATER THEY WILL NO LONGER WORK. HAPPENS MOTION AND STATIONARY . SUSPENSION' EVERY BUMP I GO OVER I FEEL LIKE MY CAR IS HITTING ROCK BOTTOM. SLOW OR NORMAL SPEED. ALL THESE PROBLEMS I HAVE TOLD SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT MY VEHICLE. I WAS FLUFFED OFF TELLING ME IT WAS THIS OR THAT AND IT WAS NORMAL. I DROVE THE SAME CAR 'A RENTAL'NEVER NEVER FELT ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS. THAT IS WHY I DECIDED TO BUY A NISSAN. BIG MISTAKE.

WHEN PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION, THE SHIFT GEAR WILL NOT MOVE.

MY CALL STALLED WHEN I WAS STATIONARY, IN DRIVE, AT AN INTERSECTION. SINCE THEN WHENEVER I SHIFT INTO EITHER DRIVE OR REVERSE THE CAR STALLS AND SHUTS OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE, CHECK BATTERY, AND GENERAL WARNING LIGHT ALL COME ON WHEN I EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN OTHER PEOPLE ON VARIOUS ONLINE FORUMS REPORT THIS ISSUE. MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2013 HAS A LITTLE OVER 80,000 MILES ON IT. I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS CAR.

RPM METER FLUCTAUATING, P0841 -FAULTY TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON

THE CONTROL ARM BROKE IN MY 2013 ALTIMA. THE MECHANIC SAID HE HAS NEVER SEEN ONE BREAK LIKE THIS AND IT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT ON THE WELD. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SEE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND IT IS UNDER INVESTIGATION.

WHEN SOME ONE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE SEAT BELT NOTIFICATION DING DOES NOT COME ON AND IT ALSO SAYS THE AIR BAG IS TURNED OFF. JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED NO ACCIDENTS REPORTED TO MY KNOWLEDGE.

ON 3/25/19 MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA STALLED WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON A CITY STREET. WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THE FOLLOWING DAY 3/26/19 DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON A CITY STREET MY CAR SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE IDLE. THERE WERE NO DASH LIGHTS TO INDICATE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR. THE CAR STARTS BUT WHEN IT IS PLACED IN GEAR IT SHUTS OFF AGAIN AND AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, THANKFULLY I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED AND PULLED INTO A GAS STATION. I HAVE TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP DUE TO IT SHUTTING OFF.

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2013 ALTIMA FAILED AT 87,899 WHILE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY. COST TO REPLACE $3,802.

SEAT BELT LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN THERE SOMEONE SITTING IN THE SEAT AND HAVE THE SEAT BELT ON....AND THE GEARSHIFT LOCKS FOR NO REASON. FOR THE SEATBELT THIS WILL BE MY SECOND TIME TACKING IT IN FOR THE SAME REASON.

MY CLUTCH IN STUCK IN "PARK". THIS HAS BEEN DANGEROUS FOR MY FAMILY AND I BC IF WE ARE STUCK IN TRAFFIC I WOULD PUT MY CAR IN PARK, AND WHEN TRAFFIC STARTS MOVING AGAIN MY CAR IS NOW HOLDING UP TRAFFIC BEHIND ME BC MY CAR IS STUCK IN PARK. THIS CAR IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD AND I'VE ALREADY HAD TO GET THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. NISSAN NEEDS TO KNOW THEY CAN'T SELL CARS THAT CAUSE A DANGER TO FAMILIES!!!!!!!

GEAR SHIFT IS UNABLE TO MOVE. IT WILL NOT MOVE WHEN BREAKS ARE PRESSED. ALSO, ENGINE DIES WHEN CAR IS PUT IN REVERSE OR DRIVE. THE ENGINE WILL ALSO DIE WHILE DRIVING, AND WHEN I GO TO TURN IT BACK ON, IT ONLY DIES WHEN I TRY TO SWITCH THE GEARS.

- REPLACED 3 ALTERNATORS - LESS THAN 60K MILES - NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILED AND NEEDING REPLACED - TOO MANY SIGNIFICANT QUALITY ISSUES FOR A NEW CAR

MY ALTIMA IS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE SHIFT RELEASE. I HAVE TO USE THE SHIFT LOCK RELEASE MECHANISM EVERY TIME I NEED TO MOVE THE SHIFTER FROM PARK TO DRIVE.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, I AM UNABLE TO CHANGE THE GEAR OUT OF PARK EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE IS PRESSED. IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE I CAN SUCCESSFULLY CHANGE THE GEAR OUT OF PARK. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ALMOST A WEEK.

ACCELERATING BETWEEN 0 TO 50MPH, TRANSMISSION SHUDDER OCCURS. IT MIGHT NOT BE A PROBLEM NOW, BUT ACCORDING TO MANY MECHANICS AND DEALERS, THE TRANSMISSION COULD FAIL ANY TIME, DAYS OR YEARS. DRIVING WITH SUCH UNCERTAINTY IS VERY DANGEROUS. WHAT IF THE TRANSMISSION FAILS WHILE I AM DRIVING. THERE ARE MANY OF THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL.

YESTERDAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD, MY RIGHT SIDE BACK VIEW MIRROR BLEW UP WITH A HUGE BANG. AND THE WHOLE THING WAS IN MILLION PIECES FLY AWAY. ON THE PLASTIC IT HAS BLACK MARKS INSIDE, LOOKS LIKE IT BURNED INSIDE AND THEN IT BLASTED

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 67 MPH MY ENTIRE CAR SWERVED TO THE LEFT SIDE. I FELT LIKE MY STEERING WHEEL WAS LOOSE AND THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS SUDDENLY OFF. I DID HAVE TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED FROM WORK. THE FINAL DIAGNOSIS IS MY LEFT REAR CONTROL ARM SPLIT IN HALF AND MY RIGHT REAR CONTROL ARM IS CRACKED IN THE SAME SPOT. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AS IT COULD OF CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF THERE WAS A CAR TO THE LEFT OF MINE DURING THIS INCIDENCE. NISSAN REPORTS $1192.05 TO REPLACE BOTH REAR CONTROL ARMS. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF ATTEMPTING TO GET REIMBURSEMENT FROM NISSAN BECAUSE THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THEY STOCK THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD A A FEW OF THEM LATELY. MY CASE # WITH NISSAN IS 33841223

AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW, FIRST OWNER IN SEPTEMBER 2013, 4 MONTHS LATER THE LEFT FOG LIGHT WENT OUT DID NOT THINK ANYTHING OF IT. TWO MONTHS LATER THE RIGHT HEAD LIGHT WENT OUT. THOUGHT IT WAS WEIRD BUT DID NOT STRESS MYSELF ABOUT IT. A YEAR LATER THE RIGHT REAR LIGHT ONLY WORKS WHEN YOU TAP IT. NOW I AM DRIVING ALL THE LIGHTS ARE OUT FROM THE CAR. NO BRAKE LIGHTS NO PARK LIGHTS NO LIGHTS. TOOK MY VEHICLE TO TIRE KINGDOM TO CHANGE BULBS ONLY TO FIND OUT THE NEW BULBS ARE NOT WORKING EITHER AND THE VEHICLE HAS A N ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. NEVER DID UNDERSTAND WHY DRIVERS BEHIND ME WOULD HONK THEIR HORNS AT ME OR BE FLASHING ME WITH THEIR HIGH BEAM LIGHTS. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE AS WELL AS THEIR AIR CONDITIONING PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE ONLY GETS COOL WHEN THE VEHICLE...

FIRST ISSUE: WENT TO OPEN INSIDE DRIVER DOOR AND HEARD SOMETHING SNAP. NOW THE DOOR HANDLE JUST FLOPS BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT OPENING THE DOOR. SECOND ISSUE: I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BREAK AND TRIED TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFTER FROM PARK TO REVERSE. THE BUTTON THAT YOU WOULD PRESS TO SHIFT WOULDN'T MOVE. NOW MY CAR IS STUCK IN PARK. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES HAPPENED WITH THE CAR STOPPED. MY ONLY ISSUES IS SOMEONE WITH THE SAME CAR AND SAME YEAR HAS HAD BOTH ISSUES HAPPEN THE THEM AS WELL. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OUR CAR IS MINE HAS 78,000 MILES AND HERS HAS 56000 MILES.

IN 2015 THE A/C COMPRESSOR WHEN OUT AND WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, THEN 21/2 YEARS LATER THE COMPRESSOR WENT OUT AGAIN AND NISSAN REFUSED TO REPAIR. TWO COMPRESSORS IN 5 YEARS AND THEY DIDN'T THINK THIS WAS A ISSUE. I END UP PAYING 1200 DOLLARS TO REPLACE AFTER 2/12 YEARS.

THE BATTERY SEEMS TO DRAIN QUICKLY FOR NO REASON EVEN I HAD A NEW BATTERY INSTALLED.I HAD TO JUMP START MY CAR VERY OFTEN.THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS.I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 6 YEARS NOW.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY GEAR SHIFTER REMAINS IN A STUCK POSITION. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY ON A CITY STREET. I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO ANOTHER GEAR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE GOTTEN STUCK WITH MY TODDLER IN THE CAR AND WAS UNABLE TO MOVE TO A SAFER LOCATION. IT TOOK ME AT LEAST 15 MINUTES TO GET THE CAR TO SHIFT FROM PARK INTO GEAR. I WAS TERRIFIED! I HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR IN ITS LOCATION AND TAKE A LYFT HOME WITH MY DAUGHTER. THE NEXT DAY MY LOCAL MECHANIC CAME TO CHECK THE CAR. HE SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR 2013 NISSAN ALTIMAS. HE SAID HE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR TO HIS SHOP TO INVESTIGATE WHAT MIGHT BE CAUSING THIS FAILURE OR I SHOULD CALL UP NISSAN BECAUSE THEY SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

BOTH MY DRIVER INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE AND PASSENGER INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE WITHIN WEEKS OF EACH OTHER FAIL TO OPEN DOORS. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE ALTIMA AND DUE TO A CHEAP PLASTIC PART THAT BREAKS WHICH HOLDS STEEL WIRE TO ENGAGE HANDLE MECHANISM. THIS IS A DANGER AND CAN CAUSE LIFE THREATENING PROBLEMS BECAUSE THE ONLY WAY TO GET OUT IS TO CRAWL TO BACK DOORS OR USE POWER WINDOWS TO LOWER WINDOWS AND REACH ARM OUTSIDE WINDOW AND OPEN VIA ECTERIOR HANDLE. IF THERE WAS A FIRE OR CRASH OR END UP IN WATER THERE WOULD BE LITTLE CHANCE TO EXCAPE IF POWER WENT OUT OF INJURY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, I WAS QUOTED $185 DOLLARS PER DOOR HANDLE FOR A THE FAULT OF NISSAN QUALITY PARTS.

AROUND 7 MONTHS AGO MY CAR WAS JERKING AND STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY, IT WAS TOW TO THE DEALER AND THEY JUST "RESET THE CAR". TODAY HAPPENED AGAIN, THE CAR START BUT STOPS WHEN CHANGING THE GEAR TO DRIVE OR REVERSE MODE SAME SITUATION AS THE LAST TIME.

MY CAR HAS 53,000 MILES ON IT AND BEING A SINGLE MOM OF 3 I CAN'T AFFORD TO PUT NEW TRANSMISSION IN IT. I STILL HAVE PAYMENTS ON THE CAR. DOES THIS CAR HAVE A CVT WARRANTY?

CONSISTENT WITH NHTSA ITEM #10119276, THE MAGNET CLUTCH TO THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR DOES NOT ENGAGE CAUSING THE AIR CONDITIONER TO BLOW HOT AIR. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, THIS COULD POTENTIALLY OVEREXPOSE TTHE OPERATOR TO DANGEROUS LEVELS OF HEAT WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE OPERATOR'S ABILITY TO SAFELY CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND THEREFORE LEAD TO CRASHES AS WELL AS INJURY TO THE OPERATOR SUCH AS HEAT EXHAUSTION OR HEAT STROKE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING, THE RISK OF THE OPERATOR'S OVEREXPOSURE TO THE HEAT CAN BE REDUCED BY ROLLING DOWN THE WINDOWS. HOWEVER DURING RAINFALL, AT SLOW SPEEDS OR WHILE AT A STANDSTILL, THAT OPTION IS NOT AVAILABLE. AS AN EXAMPLE, WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, I REACHED A SECTION THAT WAS SHUT DOWN. THE TRAFFIC WAS BACKED UP AND I WAS TRAPPED ON THE INTERSTATE FORCING ME TO OPERATE MY VEHICLE AT A STANDSTILL FOR AN EXTENDED...

THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR AFTER IT IS PARKED OR WHEN YOU TRY TO PUT IN REVERSE. THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD GET STUCK. THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK.

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO THE CVT TRANSMISSION. IN FEBRUARY 2018, WHILE MY CAR WAS IN IDLE MODE, MY CAR SHUDDERED AND STALLED. WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK, SHUT THE CAR OFF, AND RESTARTED IT, THE CAR TURNED BACK ON. HOWEVER, WHEN I SHIFTED BACK IN "DRIVE" THE CAR WOULD SHUDDER AND STALL. AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS, THE CAR FINALLY WORKED. LATER THAT DAY, WHILE AT A STOP SIGN THE CAR SHUDDERED AND STALLED. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC. NOTHING SHOWED UP. MY LOCAL MECHANICS REPLACED A SENSOR BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN THE PROBLEM. FAST FORWARD TO AUGUST 2018. MY CAR WHILE DRIVING SLOW BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND THEN STALL OUT. I BROUGHT IT TO NISSAN. THIS TIME THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST SAID I NEED A VALVE BODY REPLACEMENT. THAT COSTED ME $1100. 2 WEEKS LATER. I WAS DRIVING...

3 DOOR LATCHES BROKE ON MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA, WITHIN 3 WEEKS OF EACH OTHER. I TOOK MY CAR TO NISSAN FOR REPAIRS THINKING IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY OR RECALL AS SO MANY OTHER OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A DEFECTIVE PLASTIC PART IN THE LATCH THAT BREAKS ON THAT MODEL VEHICLE; THIS PARTICULAR DEALERSHIP HAD FIXED 30 OR SO WITHIN THE PAST YEAR. IT COST ME ABOUT $500 TO HAVE IT FIXED. I HAD BEEN ROLLING THE DRIVER-SIDE WINDOW DOWN TO GET OUT BUT HAD TO HAVE THE BACK DOORS REPAIRED BECAUSE I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AND IF THERE HAD BEEN AN ACCIDENT THE CHILDREN WOULD BE TRAPPED IN THE BACKSEAT. I CALLED CUSTOMER CARE TO COMPLAIN. THEY CONSIDERED MY CASE FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND CAME BACK WITH A DETERMINATION THAT THEY COULD NOT COVER IT BECAUSE IT...

MY CAR RECENTLY TODAY STATED TO LOCK THE DEAR SHIFT WHEN I PARK IT STARTED THIS MORNING AND HAS CONTINUED EVERY TIME I TURN OFF MY CAR. PREVIOUS ISSUE I TOOK IT IN TO NISSAN TYNANS ON HAVANA IN AURORA CO (NEVER GO THERE) BECAUSE IT IS SPUTTERING ANY TIME I ACCELERATE AT ANY SPEED ON ANY ROAD RIGHT BEFORE IT WOULD WHAT YOU CALL BACK IN THE DAY SHIFT INTO ANOTHER GEAR. TYNANS FIRST SAID IT WAS A BATTERY CABLE AND WHEN IT WASNT FIXED THEY ARE SAY THERE ISNT ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I BELIEVE THE CVT IS CAUSING IT TO SPUTTER I TOLD TYNANS I THOUGHT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE TO BEGIN WITH. NEEDLESS TO SAY MY CAR IS NOT FIXED AND IS STILL SPUTTERING AND JUST BOUGHT IT OWE ABOUT $14000 STILL!

THE NISSAN ALTIMA 2013, DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE BREAKS, TRAPPING INDIVIDUAL IN CAR CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE IN ANY URGENT OR EMERGENCY SITUATION. CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN COMPLAINT HAPPENED. FREQUENT OCCURRENCE WITH THOUSANDS OR MODELS 2011-2015 AS INDICATED BY CONSUMER REPORTS. CONSIDERATION FOR RECALL.

AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR BLOWS HOT AIR. MACHANIC STATED THAT THE A.C COMPRESSOR HAS INTERNAL MECHANICAL FAILURE CAUSING HIGH SUCTION SIDE PRESSURE. ALSO, IT IS UNDER 100,000 MILES AND SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

I HAVE HAD THREE DOORS THAT ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND IT SEEMS IT CAN BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE IF INVOLVED IN CRASH BECAUSE DOORS WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE. IT APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE DUE TO NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE SURROUNDING EXACT SAME ISSUE PLEASE HELP WHAT FOOD IS IT TO GET IT FIX ONLY TO HAVE IT HAPPENE AGAIN BECAUSE OF PARTS USED BY MANUFACTURERS.

TAKATA RECALL AFTER RETURNING FROM A ROAD TRIP I NOTICED MY CAR SHAKING AND WHEN CHANGING GEARS THE CAR PAUSES BEFORE ACCELERATING. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT IT ONLY COVERS THE ENGINE. WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN RECENTLY EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY TO 100K MILES WHERE THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO FIX THE REPAIRS AND GIVE ME A RENTAL WHILE IT'S IN THE SHOP. NISSAN IS NOT GOING TO FIX THE REPAIRS BUT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL.

THE CAR SHIFT LOCK BUTTON LOCKS THE CAR IN GEAR, THE CAR IS UNABLE TO BE SHIFTED FROM A PARK POSITION TO DRIVE, REVERSE OR ANY OTHER GEAR WHILE IN PARK OR ANY OTHER GEAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTFUL IF YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY AND THE CAR CANNOT BE PUT INTO GEAR! I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY BECAUSE WHEN I WAS PARALLEL PARKING ON A STREET PASSING CARS HAD TO WAIT AND CAME DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO HITTING MY CAR.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THE CAR SHUTTERED AND CUT OFF AFTER HAVING STOPPED FOR A LIGHT. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I PRESS THE EXHILARATOR TO CONTINUE ON. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK APPLIED MY FOOT TO THE BREAK AND RESTARTED THE CAR. EVERY TIME I WOULD DRIVE TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR IT WOULD CUT OFF. IT KEPT DOING THIS OVER AND OVER. LOCAL POLICE CAME AND WITH THE HELP OF A GOOD SAMARITAN PUSHED MY CAR OFF THE ROAD TO A SAFE PLACE. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SAID THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER TEST DID NOT SHOW ANY CODES FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY ENDED UP UPDATING THE TRANSMISSION MODULE AND SAID THEY HOPED THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR AND I HAVE HAD TO AVOID STOPPING AT LIGHTS DUE...

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE(S) BREAK BECAUSE ONLY PLASTIC IS USED TO SECURE A METAL BALL ATTACHED TO THE CABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. AT AROUND 40 TO 60,000 MILES THE INTERIOR HANDLE BREAKS, ALMOST CONSISTENTLY BASED ON ONLINE RESEARCH. THIS KNOWN PROBLEM SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY MAKING THE AREA WHERE THE CABLE ATTACHES MORE STURDY, OR USE A MORE STURDY MATERIAL SUCH AS METAL. IF THIS HANDLE WERE TO BREAK WHILE TRYING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE DUE TO AN EMERGENCY, THE RESULTS COULD BE CATASTROPHIC.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE. SOMETHING INSIDE BROKE AND THE HANDLE SWINGS FREELY. IT WILL NOT OPEN THE DOOR. WE HAVE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING ONLINE AND APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR NISSAN ALTIMA 2013-2015. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ABOUT THIS ISSUE. WE ARRIVED HOME AND I TRIED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR SOMETHING INSIDE THE DOOR SNAPPED, AND I'M NO LONGER ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM INSIDE THE CAR. IF THE CAR WERE TO CATCH ON FIRE AND THE ELECTRIC WINDOW DOES'T OPEN I WOULD BE TRAPPED.

CAN'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK WITHOUT USING SHIFT LOCK OVERRIDE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE EXITING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD POP SOUND. AFTERWARDS, THE INTERIOR HANDLES ON ALL FOUR DOORS WERE UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND NOTICED A LOT OF CORROSION ON THE BATTERY TERMINALS. THE BATTERY HAD BEEN CHANGED OUT THREE TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE WAS STILL BEING EXPERIENCED. THE DEALER (TOWN CENTER NISSAN, 2310 BARRETT LAKES BLVD NW, KENNESAW, GA 30144) INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE DOOR HANDLE FAILURE "COULD BE A SAFETY RISK". THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REASON THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WAS DUE TO CORROSION OF THE BATTERY TERMINALS. BOTH REPAIRS WOULD BE AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE BOTH FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

CAR WILL NOT RELEASE FROM PARK UNLESS YOU PRESS ON THE BRAKE RELEASE BUTTON. THIS HAPPENED AS MY CAR REACHED 65K MILES. THIS COULD BE A HUGE ISSUE AND SAFETY IF SOMEONE WAS TO BE STRANDED OUT SOMEWHERE AND THEY ARE H ABLE TO LEAVE BECAUSE THERE CAR WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK. THIS PROBLEM IS AFFECTING A LOT OF VEHICLES COMING OUT OF NISSAN.

THE GEAR/SHIFT GOT STUCK AT PARKING. EVERY TIME I DRIVE, I HAVE TO USE A SCREW DRIVER TO MANIALLY RELEASE THE SHIFT LOCK

WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AT AT RED LIGHT, OVERDRIVE TURNED OFF BY ITSELF.

THE GEAR SHIFTER STICKS IN PARK SOMETIMES IT DOESNT COME OUT OF GEAR NOW FOR A 2013 WITH 43.000 MILES WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN

WHILE PARKED (OR ANYTIME THE GEAR SHIFT IS IN THE "P" POSITION; THE GEAR SHIFT WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF "PARK". THE DEALER MADE THE SUGGESTION TO INSTALL A NEW BRAKE SWITCH. I PURCHASED THE NEW BRAKE SHIFT AND THE DEALER INSTALLED IT, HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. FOR SAFETY REASONS, I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE DONE AS A RECALL BY NISSAN MOTORS AND THERE HAVE BEEN A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS BY OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK I STOPPED AT AT RED LIGHT MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND CUT OFF, IT DID THAT A FEW TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF. SHOP COULDN'T DETECT ANYTHING IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN 3 DAYS LATER SHOP FOUND NOTHING AGAIN.

2013 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH ONLY 52K MILES I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHEN I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY; FIRST IT STALLED, SHAKY WHEN I ACCELERATE SLIGHTLY IT WAS FINE. WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE TO PARK MODE; EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING STALKED&SHAKE IF I STOPPED AT A LIGHT, STOP SIGN, OR CHANGE SPEED I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM THIS WILL HAPPEN IN BUSY TRAFFIC, HIGHWAYS IN FACT MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER (1ST TIME DRIVEN HERSELF HOME FROM WORK) EXPERIENCE IT, AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION SHE COULDN'T GET THE CAR GOING. WE HAD TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF FOR ABOUT 15-30MINUTES AND PRESSED/ PULSED THE GAS TO FINALLY GET IT TO MOVE... THIS ALL HAPPENED FOR 3 DAYS AND I TOOK IT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP (PAYED $140 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM) MECHANIC SAID JUST FROM DRIVING THE CAR INTO THE SHOP, 9/10 IT MAY BE THE...

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH THE CLOSED SUNROOF EXPLODED. THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND AND THE VISOR WAS CLOSED SO I WAS UNINJURED BY THE SHATTERED GLASS. IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT.
