2013 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

THE VEHICLE IS HAVING PROBLEMS GOING INTO GEAR AND SHIFTING CORRECTLY. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BY ME IN 2018. I HAVE A CLEAN TITLE. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM NISSAN. THEY ARE REFUSING TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE THE VIN SHOWS THE VEHICLE WAS SALVAGED IN TWO OTHER STATES. NISSAN SAYS I MUST HAVE A CLEAR TITLE FROM THOSE STATES BEFORE THEY WILL REPAIR THE CAR. I WAS TOLD BY PEOPLE IN BOTH OF THE STATES THAT I CAN NOT GET ANOTHER TITLE WHILE I CURRENTLY HAVE A TITLE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR SINCE PURCHASE AND AM STILL DRIVING IT. IT HAS UNDER 84,000 MILES WHICH IS WHAT THE LETTER STATES. I READ THAT NISSAN CAN NOT REFUSE TO FIX A SALVAGED VEHICLE IF IT IS BEING DRIVING. PLEASE HELP ME AND GET THEM TO HONOR THIS WARRANTY.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING AT ALL, HOOD FLIES OPEN SUDDENLY SLAMMING INTO WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING!!! AFTER SCREAMING OF COURSE, TRIED TO KEEP VEHICLE STRAIGHT, SLOWED, PULLED OVER TO RIGHT TO SAFETY. UNBELIEVABLY NO OTHER VEHICLES HIT/INVOLVED, NO CRASH - MY VEHICLE HAS DAMAGE TO HOOD, ROOF, BOTH FRONT FENDERS, INTERIOR OVERHEAD CONTROLS DROPPED OUT OF THE CEILING. NISSAN NOT YET COMMITTING TO PAYING FOR IT 100% !!!!!! EVEN THOUGH A RECALL ON THIS ITEM WAS ISSUED 1 MONTH AGO, AND I FOUND ARTICLES ON THIS PROBLEM WITH THE CAR GOING BACK TO 2014 - AND NISSAN DEALERSHIP JUST HAD MY CAR 4 MONTHS AGO (MARCH) WORKING ON ANOTHER DIFFERENT RECALL !!!!

ALL 4 WHEEL BEARINGS FAILED. NOISE LEVEL INCREASED WITH TIME AND EVENTUALLY CHANGED WHEN I WAS CONCERNED WITH MY SAFETY. CONFIRMED BY MECHANIC, THAT ALL 4 BEARINGS WERE BAD. MECHANIC CHANGED BOTH FRONT BEARING FIRST BEFORE CHANGING BACK BEARING TO CONFIRM FAILURE ON BACK WHEEL BEARINGS AS WELL. CHANGED BEARINGS AT ABOUT 110,500 MILES. HAVE LOVED NISSAN BUT I'VE HAD TWO MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS WITH TWO VEHICLES AS OF LATE

DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHTS STAY ON NO MATTER IF SOMEONE IS OCCUPYING EITHER SEAT.

THE TRUNK LATCH BECAME UNDONE AND LIFTED WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY HEADED HOME. ALL OF MY ITEMS FELL OUT AND I HAD TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO RELATCH.
