2013 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

THE CAR WAS STATIONARY IN THE DRIVEWAY, WITH WHEEL WEDGES PLACED AT FRONT TIRES. IT WAS JACKED UP THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS REMOVED TO PUT ON NEW BRAKES, ONLY TO FIND A BOLT HOLDING THE CALIPER ON TO THE BRACKET WAS BROKE OFF. THIS WARRANTS A GREAT SAFETY CONCERN. DO ALL THE OTHER ONES HAVE TO BE CHANGED?- IN ORDER TO PREVENT A SAFETY HAZARD.

THE HEADLIGHT PROJECTOR HOUSING HAS "FAILED" AFTER 6-7 YEARS. THE REFLECTIVE COATING IN THE PROJECTOR HOUSING NO LONGER WORKS PROPERLY, WITH ABSOLUTELY NO DAMAGE TO THEM. EVEN WITH BRAND NEW HEADLIGHT (LOWLIGHT) LED BULBS PUSHING 10,000 LUMENS, THE HEADLIGHTS BARELY PROJECT 30-50 FEET IN FRONT OF THE CAR, AND DOES NOT ALLOW FOR PROPER LIGHTING AT NIGHT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND NISSAN NEEDS TO SET A RECALL FOR THIS ON ALL 2013-2015 NISSAN ALTIMA(S). MANY PEOPLE ONLINE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS, AND NISSAN'S RESPONSE IS TO CHARGE PEOPLE UPWARDS OF $1000 TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS COMPLETELY. THIS NEEDS TO BE FORCED AS A RECALL, PLEASE!

MY HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR AT NIGHT FOR FEAR OF GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. I'VE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 2013-2015 NISSANS HOWEVER NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WHICH IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH MY HIGH BEAMS TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHICH PUTS OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AT RISK. AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO CORRECT AN ISSUE THAT STEMS FROM A DEFECTIVE/POOR QUALITY PART WITHIN THE HEADLAMPS.

CAR DOES NOT MOVE EVEN IF I PUT IT ON REVERSE OR DRIVE OR ANY OTHER GEAR. TOW IT TO NEAREST MECHANIC, WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION IS BLOWN.

MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA SL KEEPS STALLING ON ME WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE DECODER STATED IT WAS THE MAX AIR FLOW SENSOR, I REPLACED IT, I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAD A TUNE UP DONE EVEN THOUGH I HAVE LOW MILES. NO ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I READ SOME REVIEWS AND I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THE THE SAME CAR OR YEAR HAVING THIS ISSUE. YOU TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT.

THE DIM LIGHTS ARE SO DIM I CAN BARELY SEE AT NIGHT. I HAVE TO USE THE BRIGHT LIGHTS TO SEE., ESPECIALLY WHEN PASSING ANOTHER CAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I'VE SPENT A TOTAL OF $410 ON BULBS RECOMMENDED BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND THEY ARE STILL AWFUL. ALSO ONE SET WAS THE HIGHEST LUMENS OF LED LIGHTS. PLEASE RE ALL THESE LIGHTS BECAUSE THIS IS SO DANGEROUS TO OWNERS AS WELL AS THE DRIVERS WE MEET ON THE ROADS AT NIGHT. I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS SINCE 12/2019. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE LIGHT COMPLAINTS.

THE CHROME IN THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS TENDS TO BURN OUT QUICKLY WHICH AFFECTS THE PROJECTION. ACCORDING TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, THIS IS A KNOWN COSTLY REPAIR WITH 2013-2017 BUT MOSTLY AFFECTS THE 2013. THE REPAIR COSTS IS QUOTED AT $1119.85. WHEN THE HEADLAMPS BURN OUT THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE BECAUSE IT CANNOT PASS INSPECTION WHICH IS CURRENTLY MY ISSUE. I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE THIS REPLACED WHICH UNFORTUNATELY AFFECTS MY EMPLOYMENT BECAUSE I CAN'T DRIVE TO WORK.

MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS RUSTED. THERE WERE OTHER PARTS THAT WERE ON A RECALL BECAUSE OF RUSTING I'VE HAD REPLACED, BUT THERE IS STILL MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER THAT IS RUSTING AS WELL. THIS IS ALL DOCUMENTED IN MY LAST SERVICE REPORT
