THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA ARE A COMPLETE SAFETY HAZARD. IT IS LIKE I AM DRIVING WITHOUT ANY LIGHTS WHEN THEY ARE ON AND I CANNOT SEE AT ALL UNLESS I HAVE ON MY HIGH BEAMS. DRIVING WITH MY BRIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME AT NIGHT CAUSES ISSUES FOR THE DRIVERS AROUND ME. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED DUE TO THE LACK OF VISIBILITY. I HAVE HAD THE LIGHTS CHANGED AND THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM. PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OF THE ISSUE ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND IT SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL BY NISSAN BEFORE THEY ARE SUED!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V315000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE CONTACT CALLED THE HART NISSAN DEALER LOCATED AT 6564 MECHANICSVILLE TURNPIKE, MECHANICSVILLE, VA 23111, AND IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

ALL INTERIOR DOOR LATCHES DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. DOORS DO NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT.

WHEN TURN SIGNAL IS AUTOMATICALLY CANCELLED AS THE STEERING WHEEL IS STRAIGHTENED, SOMETIMES (NOT ALWAYS) IT ACTUATES THE 'LANE CHANGE' THREE-FLASH SIGNAL IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. FOR EXAMPLE, AFTER MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE SIGNAL CANCELS AND SIGNALS THREE FLASHES IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THIS HAPPENS WHEN TURNING IN EITHER DIRECTION. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BUT DOES NOT HAPPEN AT EVERY TURN. I FEEL IT MAY BE A MALFUNCTION OF THE TURN SIGNAL ARM.

HELLO ITS SEPTEMBER NOW AND NISSAN HASNT FIXED THE HOOD LATCH RECALL YET CAN'T USE CAR NOW SINCE JUNE BECAUSE OF RECALL THEY TOLD ME IT WONT TAKE LONG BUT ITS TAKING LONG NOW

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. FOG LIGHTS ARE BRIGHTER THAN LOW BEAMS. MUST DRIVE CAR WITH HIGH BEAMS ON TO SEE AT NIGHT. ILLEGAL TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS ON - FEAR TICKET FOR TRAFFIC VIOLATION. FEAR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF BLINDING ANOTHER ONCOMING DRIVER WITH HIGH BEAMS ON. HAD ONE LOW BEAM DIE WHILE ON A 250 MILE TRIP AND COULD NOT SEE AT NIGHT WITH ONLY ONE LOW BEAM ON. I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR 2013-15 NISSAN ALTIMA HEADLAMPS BEING TOO DIM. (SERIES 5-?) BOUGHT CAR NEW IN 2014 AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH LIGHTS FOR THREE YEARS. PRELIMINARY REPORTS INDICATE PLASTIC REFLECTIVE BOWL IN HEADLAMP IS DEFECTIVE BECAUSE MATERIALS DEGRADE AND WEAR OUT OVER TIME. NISSAN HAS REMAINED SILENT AND DEALERSHIP WILL CHECK FOR MOISTURE AND STATE THAT HEADLAMPS ARE WITHING SPECS. THESE HEADLAMPS ARE DEFECTIVE AND THE NTSB SHOULD INVESTIGATE AND ISSUE A RECALL.- BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR DIES. I COULD NOT SEE PEDESTRIANS CROSSING THE ROAD LAST NIGHT WHILE MY LOW BEAMS WERE ON. MY VISION IS FINE AND MY SPEED WAS ONLY 30 MPH ON A CITY STREET, BUT PEDESTRIANS CROSSING THE ROAD WERE NOT SEEN BY MYSELF OR FRONT SEAT PASSENGER UNTIL IT WAS ALMOST TOO LATE. I JUST REPLACED THE HEADLAMPS WITH UPGRADED SYLVANIA BULBS NOT MORE THAN A WEEK AGO. NISSAN SHOULD REPLACE THE FRONT HEADLAMP LENSES ON BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE - WITHOUT CHARGE. A SAFETY RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE GEAR SHIFTER SEIZED WHILE IN THE PARK POSITION. THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO IMMEDIATELY SHIFT OUT OF THE PARK POSITION TO THE DRIVE POSITION. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT YET NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

DRIVING OUR VEHICLE PER USUAL, NO CRASHES, SAFELY MADE IT FROM POINT A TO B. THE NEXT MORNING, THE SENSOR FOR AIR BAGS COMES ON. IT CONTINUES TO STAY THERE WITH NO EXPLANATION FROM GOOGLE OTHER THAN THE SENSOR BEING AN ISSUE.
