2015 NISSAN ALTIMA Visibilitywiper Problems

While driving at night in a poorly lit area, I could barely see. I turned on the high beam but it blinded on coming traffic. I checked into this and found out Nissan was sued for this and had a short (approximately 3 months) period when you could get it fixed for free from the dealership. No recall issued even though Nissan was well aware of this. But when I tried to get it fixed, the dealership did not have the parts. There is only one dealership in Sacramento, so by the time I could get back with them, this repair window was closed. I think this was too short of a repair time for such a safety hazard.

The low beam headlights are very dim. I’ve replaced headlight bulbs and tried even clearing headlight lens and still not good visibility

RIGHT WINDSHIELD WIPER WILL NOT MOVE, CANNOT SEE DUE TO CLOUDY HEADLIGHT LENSES, HOOD OF CAR WILL NOT UNLATCH.

I have a expired recall that was not completed by previous owner. I called company and they refuse to fix my problem because it was expired.

Received recall for dim headlights. 2016. Took to dealer for repair as it said. They did not have parts said to check back later. Called several times same story. Have since been in for service and get same story. Regular headlights so dim have to drive with bright lights on in dark. A safety hazard for sure in country.

Fatally flawed Nissan headlight assembly. The dim low-beam headlights of my 2015 Nissan Altima have been the subject of a class action lawsuit against Nissan. They may or may not have been the subject of a proposed or actual recall. My dealer is now telling me that I missed some deadline under an “inspection recall.” Apparently to confirm whether my headlights are dim or not. My vehicle was in a Nissan service center for other repairs in Jan of 2018 and again in June of 2021, they ran my VIN number. They should have told me there was some arbitrary deadline to meet to fix their fatally flawed headlight assembly. Someone at Nissan consumer affairs tells me that my VIN number isn’t included in the lawsuit/recall. This is irrelevant. My headlights are certainly UNSAFELY DIM. My 17 yr old Toyota and 19 yr old dodge both have brighter headlights than...

Since I bought my 2015 Nissan Altima, the low-beam headlights have been dangerously dim. I stopped driving at night as I almost hit pedestrians. I'm jeopardizing my safety and others on the road. Installing a new headlight did not change visibility and the Nissan dealership inspected the problem and recommended an "Aftermarket" headlight assembly. There are no warning symptoms or signs of this problem and the vehicle is still equipped with its original headlight housing.

Both Sun Visors have failed. They no longer hold their positions. They just droop at random. I consider this a real safety issue for the driver because the visor can droop at any time and I pair the driver’s vision.

THE HEADLIGHTS IN THE CAR ARE EXTREMELY DIM, CAUSING A MAJOR ISSUE WITH VISIBILITY AT NIGHT. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE 2016 AND I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2015 AND HAVE BEEN THE SOLE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE LACK OF VISIBILITY AT DARKNESS AND THEY REPLACED THE BULBS, WHICH DID NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. I WAS INSTRUCTED BY THE DEALER THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE PROJECTOR LENS, NOT THE BULBS. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED IN THE 2013 - 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA'S, YET NISSAN HAS NOT RECALLED IT. I FEAR THIS ISSUE WILL CAUSE A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

MY HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM AND CONTINUALLY DECREASE. I AM FORCED TO DRIVE WITH MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ON. I SEE ONLINE THAT MANY HAVE MADE THIS COMPLAINT. PLEASE ADVISE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.*DT*JB

INITIALLY I THOUGHT MY EYESE WERE GOING BAD, BUT AFTER RESEARCHING, THERE IS RECURRING INCIDENCE OF OF CONSUMERS REPORTING DIM HEADLIGHTS. ITS TO THE POINT THAT I TRY NOT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, AND IF I DO, I HAVE TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS WHICH POSES A HAZARD TO OTHER DRIVERS. NISSSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER IS CHARGING OVER $1000 TO REPLACE THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY BECAUSE SIMPLY REPLACING THE BULB IS NOT THE SOLUTION.

HEADLIGHT LOW BEAMS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. CAN BARELY SEE THE ROAD. WHEN THERE IS A CAR BEHIND, LIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT A SHADOW IS CAST IN FROMT OF THE CAR. ATTEMPTED NEW HALOGEN AND LED BULBS WITH NO SUCCESS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER FAILED TO FUNCTION AND HOT AIR BLEW OUT OF THE VENTS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,776.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR RANDOMLY DROPS INTO THE DOWN POSITION BLOCKING THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY. THE VISOR FALLS WITHOUT WARNING AND CAN BE STARTLING. IT IS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT TO RETURN TO THE UP POSITION. UPON INSPECTION IT APPEARS THAT THE BODY OF THE VISOR HAS COME APART AT THE SEAMS INSIDE OF THE CLOTH COVERING. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING, WHILE IN MOTION DURING A VARIETY OF DRIVING CONDITIONS.

HEADLIGHTS DANGEROUSLY DIM. NO VISIBILITY DRIVING AFTER DARK. LIGHTS DOES NOT ILLUMINATE ROAD. CANNOT SEE ANYTHING IN FRONT OR SEE CURBS OR PEOPLE CROSSING ROADS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2013-2015 NISSAN CARS. IT IS SO UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT AS YOU CANNOT SEE ANYTHING IN FRONT OF CAR. CHANGED BULBS TWICE, BROUGHT NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND STILL HAD SAME PROBLEM AFTER 7 MOS. NISSAN SHOULD RECALL HEADLIGHT BEFORE SOMEONE DIES DUE TO THEIR FAULTY HEADLIGHTS AND THEIR SILENCE

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM, I HAVE TO USE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS IN THE DARK ALL THE TIME.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CATCHES ON FIRE WHEN THEY ARE TURNED ON

CPSC: I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN YESTERDAY WHEN MY DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER FELL OFF OF MY CAR INTO THE ROAD. I HAD TO TURN MY WIPER BLADES OFF AND TURN MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON IN ORDER TO SAFELY PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND CHECKED, I SAW THAT THE PLASTIC PIECE THAT ATTACHES TO THE CAR WAS STILL FIRMLY IN PLACE, BUT THE REST OF THE BLADE APPEARED TO HAVE SNAPPED OFF. *DT *JS

THE PLASTIC HANGING ROD OF DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WAS BROKEN AND DROPPED WHILE DRIVING, BLOCKING THE VIEW OF DRIVER. I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THE HANGING ROD IS MADE OF PLASTIC, SINCE THE VISOR NEEDS TO BE INSERTED BACK TO POSITION WITH FORCE AND IS USED ON DAILY BASIS. AFTER ONLINE SEARCH, I HAVE REALIZED THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON FOR NISSAN BRAND. THE DEALERSHIP ASKS MORE THAN $200 PLUS TAX FOR THIS PART. I HAVE A PREFERED GOLD EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHICH DOES NOT COVER THIS DEFECTIVE PART. MY CAR IS 2015 MODEL. HOW CAN A MANUFACTURER USE A PLASTIC FOR A HANGING ROD , BECAUSE IT IS HIDDEN UNDERNEATH THE FABRIC OF THE VISOR? IT IS A FRAUDULENT DESIGN USING A PLASTIC, WHICH CAN NOT SUSTAIN THE FORCE AND DESTINED FOR FAILURE. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE IT FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND DROPPED IN FRONT...

I HAVE EXPERIENCED AN INCREASE IN LOSS OF ROADWAY VISIBILITY DUE TO THE MALFUNCTIONING AND DIMMING OF MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL DOCUMENTED COMPLAINTS TO NISSAN MOTOR CORP AND MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER IN BRADENTON AND BRANDON, WHO ADVISED IT WOULD REQUIRE ME TO PAY A COSTLY REPAIR OUT OF POCKET. THE PROBLEM HAS WORSEN. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT, LIMITING MY SCHEDULE TO AN ALMOST HALT WHEN LEAVING FROM WORK. MY COMMUTE IS LONG AND DANGEROUS.THERE HAS BEEN NEAR MISS CAR ACCIDENTS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAYS AND ROADWAYS. THE DIM LIGHTING IS POSING A RISK TO ME AS A DRIVER, I AM VISUALLY IMPAIRED AS WELL, PLEASE HELP SOON.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FLOPS DOWN WHEN DRIVING. THE PART IS DEFECTIVE THAT HOLDS IT UP. CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT BLOCKS VISIBILITY. THE PART BROKE AND NISSAN IS REFUSING TO COVER. IN ADDITION THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS PURCHASED IS ALSO REFUSING TO COVER THE PART. THIS IS DANGEROUS SINCE THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR BLOCKS SUN FROM BLINDING ME WHEN DRIVING BUT HAVING IT BLOCKING MY VIEW COMPLETELY CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE VISOR. IT IS ALSO IN THE MURANO AND THE PATHFINDER YET THEY ARE CLAIMING THIS IS A WEAR ISSUE THAT SOMEHOW I AM AT FAULT FOR. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. NISSAN CONTINUES TO KNOWINGLY INSTALL DEFECTIVE PARTS IN THEIR CARS WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE CHILD SAFETY LOCK FAILED TO RELEASE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW FAILED TO GO COMPLETELY DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (AVONDALE NISSAN, 10305 W PAPAGO FWY, AVONDALE, AZ 85323, 877-921-9601), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 32216717. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

THIS IS THE SECOND NISSAN ALTIMA THAT I'VE HAD. A VEHICLE IFO ME WILL THROW A ROCK AND CAUSE MY WINDSHIELD TO CRACK; NOT CHIP. NISSAN DOESN'T MAKE GOOD WINDSHIELDS. BOTH OF MY VEHICLES ALONG WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE THAT I KNOW HAVE HAD THE SAME CRACK ON THEIR ALTIMA. PLEASE CONSIDER THE MATERIAL THEY USE OR THE ACTUAL WINDSHIELD TO BE DEFECTIVE.

BOUGHT THIS CAR LESS THAN THREE MONTHS AGO... ON FRIDAY FEBRUARY 12TH 2016, I PARKED MY CAR IN THE GARAGE WHEN I GOT HOME FROM WORK... THEN ON SATURDAY THE 13TH, I WENT IN THE GARAGE AND THERE WAS A MASSIVE CRACK STARTING JUST A FEW INCHES ABOVE THE BOTTOM RIGHT (PASSENGER SIDE) AND EXTENDING OVER 12 INCHES TOWARD THE CENTER. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR THIS TO OCCUR! I AM SO UPSET! I HAVE GONE OUT OF MY WAY TO TAKE EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA GREAT CARE OF MY NEW CAR AND THEN THIS CRACK CAME OUT OF NOWHERE! I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERS A FEW DAYS AGO AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T COVER IT... I'VE RESEARCHED THIS A TON AND WILL BE FILING COMPLAINTS EVERYWHERE UNTIL I GET THIS RESOLVED. THIS WAS LITERALLY THE MOST RANDOM/HEART BREAKING THIS EVER ! THERE IS NO REASON WHY THIS SHOULD...

WASHER SOLVENT WAL-MART BRAND BUG REMOVER TYPE ADDED TO WASHER TANK, WITHIN TWO WEEKS WASHER SYSTEM PLUGGED AND IT WAS FOUND THAT BLACK SLIME (MOLD) WAS IN THE TANK. WASHER SOLVENT BOTTLE MADE BY SPLASH PRODUCTS ALSO HAD BLACK MOLD LIKE SLIME IN IT. REPORTED TO THE STORE AND CORPORATE WAS ADVISED AND NO ONE FROM THE MANUFACTURER HAS CONTACTED THE CUSTOMER TO RESOLVE THIS. CORPORATE NOTED THAT ANOTHER COMPLAINT APPEARED OF THE SAME PROBLEM IN ANOTHER STATE.

THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED FOR NO GOOD REASON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY RUN A PEN DOWN THE SEAM AND CLAIM THAT THERE'S AN IMPACT. I'M AN ENGINEER AND I CAN ATTEST STRESS FRACTURE ON A GLASS DOESN'T GUARANTEE THAT THERE'S NO CHIP ON THE EDGE ALONG THE WAY. THIS LOOK LIKE A STRESS FRACTURE, OR WORKMANSHIP DEFECT. NHTSA, PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS CAN LEAD INTO SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING IN HIGHWAY. *TR
