THE LOW BEAM ON THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM WE CANNOT DRIVE AT NIGHT. READING ONLINE IT WOULD SEEM THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM HOWEVER A BULB WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT HOUSING HAS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE INTERIOR PORTION WHERE THE BULB SETS IS DETERIORATING. . . STARTED NOTICING THIS 2 YEARS AGO AND IT GETTING WORSE.

AIRBAG LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF, IT STAYS ON SOLID RED. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND WAS INFORMED 2013 ALTIMA DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG ISSUE.

THE LOW BEAM ON THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM WE CANNOT DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE GREAT... READING ONLINE IT WOULD SEEM THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM HOWEVER A BULB WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT HOUSING HAS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE INTERIOR PORTION WHERE THE BULB SETS IS DETERIORATING... STARTED NOTICING THIS 2 YEARS AGO AND IT GETTING WORSE..

THE FLOORBOARD IS FULL OF WATER EVERY TIME IT RAINS. THE CAR SMELLS AND MOLD IS STARTING TO FORM. BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR FLOORBOARDS. IT WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY.

WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK, APPARENTLY IT IS A SOLENOID ISSUE THAT NISSAN WILL NOT RECALL.

I WAS REVERSING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY. DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING. HEARD A SMALL 'THUMP.' I GOT OUT AND CHECKED MY CAR. EVERYTHING LOOKED OK. THEN ABOUT 2 BLOCKS LATER, IN DRIVE, ON A SIDE STREET, MY CAR STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY, AS THOUGH I HAD BEEN HIT, BUT I WASN'T. IT WAS LIKE THE WORST ROLLER COASTER EVER MADE. LOUD AND EXTREMELY SHAKY. I GOT HOME AND AS IT WAS NIGHT AND DARK OUT, DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. TODAY WHEN THE DAYLIGHT CAME OUT, I NOTICED MY REAR PASSENGER TIRE LEANING INWARDS 'DRASTICALLY. SO I LOOKED UNDER THE TIRE AREA AND THERE WAS A CORRODED PIECE OF METAL HANGING DOWN WITH MY SPRING LOOSE. MY FRIEND AND I SEARCHED EVERYWHERE AND COULDN'T FIND THE PART'13-14 NISSAN ALTIMA SEDAN REAR PASSENGER RIGHT LOWER MAIN SPRING SUPPORT ARM. I CALLED NISSAN AND WAS QUOTED $200 AND SOME CHANGE. OK, NOT TOO BAD... THEN I STARTED GOOGLING FOR A CHEAPER PRICE AND LO AND BEHOLD, I COME ACROSS A FEW SITES SAYING YOU GUYS ARE INVESTING THIS, AND I BELIEVE A USA TODAY ARTICLE SAID THERE WAS NO 'RECALL,' BUT THAT THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE ROUGHLY 200,000 CARS IN THE USA AND CANADA COME IN TO HAVE IT FIXED. I DID NOT GET NOTICE FOR THIS! I WAS LUCKILY ABOUT A MILE FROM HOME. BUT I COULD BARELY CONTROL THE CAR. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THE LEFT SIDE (DRIVER REAR) IS SHOWING SIGNS OF THE SAME WEAR. I WAS DRIVING IDLE SPEED IN ORDER TO 'BE SAFE.' WHY WAS I NOT NOTIFIED?! AND WHY IS IT THAT WHEN I CALLED NISSAN, THEY DID NOT TELL ME THIS WAS A 'KNOWN ISSUE' AS THEY HAVE IN THE PAST? WHY, WHEN MY CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY DID THEY NOT FIX IT? ANYTHING! THIS IS DANGEROUS! I LITERALLY HAD HARDLY ANY CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. ARE YOU STILL INVESTIGATING THIS? AND AGAIN, I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN NOTICE TO HAVE IT FIXED! WHY ONLY 200,000 CARS?! THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. I WILL NEED REIMBURSEMENT SINCE THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE!

I HAVE THE 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA AND IT IS HAVING VERY OBVIOUS SUSPENSION ISSUES AS IT IS SQUEAKING AND POPPING WITH TURNS AND BUMPS. THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS CURRENTLY DESPITE PEOPLE SAYING THEIR WHEELS CAME OFF WHEN THEIRS BROKE. I AM VERY SCARED TO DRIVE MY CHILD IN THIS VEHICLE THAT NISSAN DEEMS SAFE.

NOTICED THAT THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT HAS BEEN STAYING ON NO MATTER IF SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OR NOT. GOING TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT BY THE DEALERSHIP WHO MAY CHARGE ME TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST.
