2013 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SIMPLY DO NOT WORK. I CANNOT SEE THE ROAD DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME AT FIRST THEN REALIZED THAT THIS IS A NATIONAL AND RECOGNIZED PROBLEM WITHIN THE NISSAN WORLD. USING THE HIGH BEAM IN PLACE OF THE LOW BEAM DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AS THEY ARE NOT TRUE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS EITHER. THIS HAS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. NEW LIGHT BULBS DONT RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. WHY DONI HAVE TO PAY OVER $1000 TO FIX A NISSAN PROBLEM.

RECENTLY PURCHASED VEHICLE THEN REALIZED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE PROPERLY

THE LOW BEAMS LIGHTS DO NOT LIGHT UP THE ROAD. EVEN WHEN THE BULBS ARE REPLACED. THIS IS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN AT NIGHT. INTERSTATE DRIVING WITH LOW BEAMS IS VERY DANGEROUS

PURCHASED A NEW 2013 ALITIMA ALMOST 8 YEARS AGO. ON JAN 17, 2021, AS I WAS DRIVING, OTHERS WERE HONKING THEIR HORNS AND AS I TURNED INTO A DIM STREET, I WASN'T ABLE TO SEE AHEAD OF ME. VERY SCARY AS I COULD HAVE HIT NEIGHBORS WHO ARE WALKING IN THE EVENING AFTER DARK. NO LONGER COMFORTABLE DRIVING AT NIGHT. DEALER SAID ALTHOUGH I PURCHASED THE GOLD PREFFERED EXTENDED WARRANTY, THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT COVERED. I OPENED A CASE AT NISSAN CONSUMER COMPLAINTS AND THEY SAID SORRY BUT THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND THE WARRANTY WON'T COVER IT. $1305.63 IS WAY TOO MUCH THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A SAFETY ISSUE.

MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS DO NOT WORK.(SPEEDOMETER, GAS LEVEL, MILAGE, HOT/COLD LEVEL, ETC.) MY STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS DO NOT WORK (VOLUME BUTTON, MENU BUTTON, SOURCE BUTTON,CRUISE CONTROL, ETC.) MY AIR CONDITION/HEAT TEMPERATURE DISPLAY DOES NOT LIGHT UP. ALL THE FUSES HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND THEY ARE ALL GOOD. THE CONNECTION TO THE BATTERY HAD BEEN CHECKED AND THEY ARE GOOD.

AFTER WORK ON 1/16/2021, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE THRUWAY, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS ON THE ICE, HOWEVER, THERE WAS NONE ON THE ROAD. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING OF MY CAR, THE BACK END WAS SLIDING AND THE STIRRING WHEEL WAS TURNED ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT BUT THE FRONT PART OF THE CAR WAS NOT TURNING. I COULD NOT PULL OVER DUE TO BEING ON A BRIDGE AND NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING. I DID LET OFF THE GAS AND COST DOWNHILL THE BEST I COULD, LUCKILY THE CAR DRIFTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS FROZEN WITH FEAR, THE STATE POLICE CAME AND WE CALL A TOW TRUCK. WHEN MY CAR WAS ON THE BED OF THE TRUCK THE DRIVER POINTED TO THE BACK OF THE CAR SAID " WOW IT SNAPED". HE THEN EXPLAINED TO ME THE REAR CONTROL ARM WAS BROKEN. LATER THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. AS OF 1/20/2021,XD THE CAR IS BEING WORKED ON AND I HAVE NOT HEARD ANY UPDATE TO WHAT HAS HAPPEND ASSIDE FROM THE SNAPPED REAR CONTROL ARM.

HI, I AM AN OWNER OF A NISSAN ALTIMA 2013 S VEHICLE. RECENTLY I NOTICED THAT AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED WITH B0028-13 AND SAID IT WAS A PAST CODE AND CLEARED THE CODE. IT CAME BACK ON AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING AFTER A MONTH. I AGAIN DIAGNOSED AND THE SAME CODE AND SHOWING A PAST CODE. DEALER COULDN'T IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AND SAID IT NEEDS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SEAT, WHICH WILL COST 1800 DOLLARS. THEY SAID THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. AND I NOTICED ONE THING, AFTER CODE IS GETTING CLEARED, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT DOESN'T COME ALL OF A SUDDENLY, ALTHOUGH IT HAS SOME PROBLEM WITH PASSENGER OCCUPANCY TOO, AS SOMETIME EVEN IF AN ADULT SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, PASSENGER AIRBAG STAYS OFF. WHICH IS VERY RISKY WHILE DRIVING. NISSAN HAS NO ANSWER TO THAT. AND RIGHT AFTER THAT, AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES BACK. I AM A STUDENT AND DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH OF MONEY TO GET THIS COSTLY REPAIR ( SEAT REPLACEMENT) DONE AND IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE HELP ME IN THIS MATTER.

I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT IN TOWN. I HEARD A VERY LOUD BANG COMING FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE WAS BENT INWARD. I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND NOTICED THAT THE REAR SUSPENSION CONTROL ARM HAD SNAPPED IN HALF AND WAS HANGING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IMMEDIATELY. A TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED AND THE VEHICLE TRANSPORTED TO A LOCAL BODY SHOP FOR SERVICE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WOODHOUSE NISSAN (7801 NEBRASKA DR, BELLEVUE, NE 68005) WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE AND THAT THE TURBULENCE WAS PROBABLY FROM ICE ON THE ROAD. TWO DAYS LATER HER DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 30 MPH, SHE HEARD AN ABNORMAL POPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. HER DAUGHTER DROVE THE VEHICLE TO HER SISTER'S HOUSE AND UPON INSPECTION, SHE DISCOVERED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE WAS TURNED INWARDS TO THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER HAD A FRIEND INSPECT THE VEHICLE WHO DISCOVERED MAJOR CORROSION ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR CONTROL ARM. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER WHO THEN DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A DEFECTIVE REAR CONTROL ARM AND ECCENTRIC BOLTS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED HER THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 77,000.
