The windshield wipers catches on fire when they are turned on
Cpsc: i was driving in the rain yesterday when my driver's side windshield wiper fell off of my car into the road. i had to turn my wiper blades off and turn my hazard lights on in order to safely pull into a parking lot. when i got out of the vehicle and checked, i saw that the plastic piece that attaches to the car was still firmly in place, but the rest of the blade appeared to have snapped off. *dt *js
The plastic hanging rod of driver side sun visor was broken and dropped while driving, blocking the view of driver. i was surprised to find out the hanging rod is made of plastic, since the visor needs to be inserted back to position with force and is used on daily basis. after online search, i have realized this problem is common for nissan brand. the dealership asks more than $200 plus tax for this part. i have a prefered gold extended warranty, which does not cover this defective part. my car is 2015 model. how can a manufacturer use a plastic for a hanging rod , because it is hidden underneath the fabric of the visor? it is a fraudulent design using a plastic, which can not sustain the force and destined for failure. it is a safety issue, since it failed while i was driving and dropped in front of me, blocking my view of road.
The drivers side sun visor flops down when driving. the part is defective that holds it up. creates a safety issue because it blocks visibility. the part broke and nissan is refusing to cover. in addition the extended warranty that was purchased is also refusing to cover the part. this is dangerous since the drivers side visor blocks sun from blinding me when driving but having it blocking my view completely can cause an accident. this is an ongoing issue with the visor. it is also in the murano and the pathfinder yet they are claiming this is a wear issue that somehow i am at fault for. this needs to be addressed. nissan continues to knowingly install defective parts in their cars which can cause an accident.
Headlights dangerously dim. no visibility driving after dark. lights does not illuminate road. cannot see anything in front or see curbs or people crossing roads. this is a known issue with 2013-2015 nissan cars. it is so unsafe to drive at night as you cannot see anything in front of car. changed bulbs twice, brought new headlight assembly and still had same problem after 7 mos. nissan should recall headlight before someone dies due to their faulty headlights and their silence

Headlight low beams are dangerously dim. can barely see the road. when there is a car behind, lights are so dim that a shadow is cast in fromt of the car. attempted new halogen and led bulbs with no success.
This is the second nissan altima that i've had. a vehicle ifo me will throw a rock and cause my windshield to crack; not chip. nissan doesn't make good windshields. both of my vehicles along with multiple people that i know have had the same crack on their altima. please consider the material they use or the actual windshield to be defective.
Bought this car less than three months ago... on friday february 12th 2016, i parked my car in the garage when i got home from work... then on saturday the 13th, i went in the garage and there was a massive crack starting just a few inches above the bottom right (passenger side) and extending over 12 inches toward the center. there was absolutely no reason for this to occur! i am so upset! i have gone out of my way to take extra extra extra great care of my new car and then this crack came out of nowhere! i took it to the dealers a few days ago and they said they can't cover it... i've researched this a ton and will be filing complaints everywhere until i get this resolved. this was literally the most random/heart breaking this ever ! there is no reason why this should have happened. i am so upset with nissan and fully regret deciding to purchase an altima! this should be recalled already!!!
Washer solvent wal-mart brand bug remover type added to washer tank, within two weeks washer system plugged and it was found that black slime (mold) was in the tank. washer solvent bottle made by splash products also had black mold like slime in it. reported to the store and corporate was advised and no one from the manufacturer has contacted the customer to resolve this. corporate noted that another complaint appeared of the same problem in another state.
Low beam headlights are too dim, i have to use high beam headlights in the dark all the time.
The windshield cracked for no good reason. took it to the dealer where they run a pen down the seam and claim that there's an impact. i'm an engineer and i can attest stress fracture on a glass doesn't guarantee that there's no chip on the edge along the way. this look like a stress fracture, or workmanship defect. nhtsa, please investigate this can lead into serious accident if it happens while driving in highway. *tr
