Handles are breaking from the inside causing an issue where i can't open door from inside. driver side and now one of my back doors is doing same thing! i have seen multiple complaints about this for this year of altima sedan
The inside driver's side handle has broken. this happened all of a sudden one morning when the vehicle was in park. it was very cold the night before and was below freezing at the time of this occurring. it is loose and will not open the door. in order to exit the vehicle, the window must be rolled down and the door must be opened from the outside. this happens whether the car is on or off.
My suspension has busted off the frame of the vehicle. this occured while the vehicle was in motion. it caused the tired to bend and vehicle was not driveable. it messed with the steering in the front as well. lost traction control. i have many pictures i can send by email. i already submitted a complaint with # 11267024. i have contacted nissan direct and they told me there is no safety issue or recall for this or that nhtsa was not investigating anything into this matter. i am seeing you are looking into this matter. nissan refused to fix the car or help me in any way. they were extremely rude and impossible to get ahold of. i have spent over a week trying to reach someone. nissan will not help in any way and do not care if anyone gets hurt or this happens again. something needs to be done. it is now my problem to get the vehicle repaired and i do not feel safe driving it especially because i have children. nissan could care less. the repair was quoted between $800-1200 and nissan cannot do a "goodwill repair" because they claim the vehicle is to old ...
My suspension broke off the frame of the car while moving on a turn after being at a complete stop making a left. the rear driver side detached from the frame making the car unmovable and bending the tire almost at a 90 degree angle.
The car would not accelerate from a stop light. it would just do low-rpm revs then eventually crawl then rev super high and accelerate super fast. the transmission would take about 10 seconds to engage at every light and once it did it would lurch forward. stalled 3 times. 2013 nissan altima with exactly 85,500 miles. called nissan and they said the know of no recalls or issues with the transmission and it is no longer under warranty but to take it to a nissan dealer to have it looked at. check engine light finally came on with code p0776, and pending codes of p 0776 p0965 p2813.
I have had the following issues with the nissan altima: air bag sensor issues sometimes sensor malfunctions (looked at 3 x, not fixed), rear view camera sometimes does not work (looked at 3 x, not fixed), transmission cvt issues sometimes jumps into gear (looked at 3 x, not fixed), seat belt sometimes locks up (looked at 1 x, not fixed). issues happen while in motion or starting.
The lower control arm in the rear passenger side rusted totall out and my i am so lucky i didn't die or the pedestrian !!!!! i lost control of my car and almost hit someone as a result! why is the world would this part rust out??? why is something not being done to fix this safety concern? because no one has died from it yet? is that what is needed to take care of this issue for other people? the picture is attached - see the rear wheel?
I began doing research after my vehicle did this to me the other day twice. while driving between 40-50 mph the car just shut off. lights illumined on the dash board and thankfully i did have power steering and brakes so i was able to coast onto the side of the road and restart the vehicle in park however this could be a dangerous and deadly situation to either me or innocent bystanders/drivers. from what i have been reading this is a common problem in nissans.
The rear suspension on our vehicle detached unexpectedly and without warning while we were driving. the vehicle was driving straight on a city street. thankfully no one was injured. once the vehicle no longer in motion it was apparent that the rear control arm / rear suspension had detached from excessive rusted. the vehicle is a 2013 with no outer body rust. it seems like this could be a defect as well as a significant safety issue.
The the projector inside my headlight is burned out .causing visibility issues at night time. changing the headlight assembly is my only option
The vehicle will not start after warm up/driving for a while and then turned off. it will continuously run if engine does not get turned off. in order to start the engine again, it has to cool down, then the cycle starts again. it only happens when hot. it always starts cold or cooled down. took it to nissan dealer for diag and they said that is was the fuel injectors, so we replaced them on their advice - but that did not solve the problem. this is issue started recently. this is a well kept and maintained 2013 altima with the qr25de 4 cyl engine and only ~ 92,nnn miles.
Takata recall: while driving on a paved road at a speed of about 45 mph, the right rear subframe failed catastrophically due to apparent corrosion. the failure occurred at the location of the bushing to the frame. the result was that the rear wheel offset and control of the vehicle was compromised. this is a historic problem with nissan and they have not addressed the problem with the new model in 2013. it is unsafe and unfair that owners pay for nissan's refusal to address the problem. more photos will be available when the subframe is removed.
Vehicle will shut off when driving
My driver's side lower control arm broke and i lost control of my vehicle. it corroded and broke on one side. i was driving at 28/30 miles an hour, hit a bump and heard something pop and the car spun out of control.
Rear control arm on my nissan altima 2013 came apart on an interstate pushing me on to the left lane almost at 65 mph. got really scared as i usually drive with my new born but luckily he was not in the car when this happened. the car has less than 60k miles and i had to replace them on both sides on the rear as they mentioned the other one too is going to break soon. really disappointed as had to make a huge repair spending 1300 bucks for a car that is only used to run few errands over the weekend as i commute on train for work. *dt*jb
