2013 Nissan Altima UNKNOWN OR OTHER

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK EVEN WHEN PUSHING THE BUTTON ON THE GEAR SHIFT - THE BUTTON TO PUSH ON THE CONSOLE WOULD NOT ENGAGE AND RELEASE IT FROM PARK EITHER - WE WERE AT A GAS STATION ON AN 1800 MILE TRIP - I FINALLY BROKE THE BUTTON ON THE CONSOLE AND STUCK MY SUNGLASSES BOW INTO THE CONSOLE BUTTON AND NOW I HAVE TO DO THAT EVERY TIME I DRIVE. IT'S REALLY MORE A MATTER OF INCONVENIENCE THAN ANYTHING BUT CONSIDERING WHAT CONSUMERS PAY FOR CARS THE EXPECTATION IS EVERYTHING SHOULD WORK AT LEAST UNTIL THE FIRST TIRE CHANGE

WHEN PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION, THE SHIFT GEAR WILL NOT MOVE.

RPM METER FLUCTAUATING, P0841 -FAULTY TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, I AM UNABLE TO CHANGE THE GEAR OUT OF PARK EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE IS PRESSED. IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE I CAN SUCCESSFULLY CHANGE THE GEAR OUT OF PARK. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ALMOST A WEEK.

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2013 ALTIMA FAILED AT 87,899 WHILE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY. COST TO REPLACE $3,802.

TRANSMISSION ISSUE

ACCELERATING BETWEEN 0 TO 50MPH, TRANSMISSION SHUDDER OCCURS. IT MIGHT NOT BE A PROBLEM NOW, BUT ACCORDING TO MANY MECHANICS AND DEALERS, THE TRANSMISSION COULD FAIL ANY TIME, DAYS OR YEARS. DRIVING WITH SUCH UNCERTAINTY IS VERY DANGEROUS. WHAT IF THE TRANSMISSION FAILS WHILE I AM DRIVING. THERE ARE MANY OF THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL.

MY ALTIMA IS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE SHIFT RELEASE. I HAVE TO USE THE SHIFT LOCK RELEASE MECHANISM EVERY TIME I NEED TO MOVE THE SHIFTER FROM PARK TO DRIVE.

YESTERDAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD, MY RIGHT SIDE BACK VIEW MIRROR BLEW UP WITH A HUGE BANG. AND THE WHOLE THING WAS IN MILLION PIECES FLY AWAY. ON THE PLASTIC IT HAS BLACK MARKS INSIDE, LOOKS LIKE IT BURNED INSIDE AND THEN IT BLASTED

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 67 MPH MY ENTIRE CAR SWERVED TO THE LEFT SIDE. I FELT LIKE MY STEERING WHEEL WAS LOOSE AND THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS SUDDENLY OFF. I DID HAVE TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED FROM WORK. THE FINAL DIAGNOSIS IS MY LEFT REAR CONTROL ARM SPLIT IN HALF AND MY RIGHT REAR CONTROL ARM IS CRACKED IN THE SAME SPOT. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AS IT COULD OF CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF THERE WAS A CAR TO THE LEFT OF MINE DURING THIS INCIDENCE. NISSAN REPORTS $1192.05 TO REPLACE BOTH REAR CONTROL ARMS. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF ATTEMPTING TO GET REIMBURSEMENT FROM NISSAN BECAUSE THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THEY STOCK THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD A A FEW OF THEM LATELY. MY CASE # WITH NISSAN IS 33841223

THE BATTERY SEEMS TO DRAIN QUICKLY FOR NO REASON EVEN I HAD A NEW BATTERY INSTALLED.I HAD TO JUMP START MY CAR VERY OFTEN.THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS.I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 6 YEARS NOW.

THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR AFTER IT IS PARKED OR WHEN YOU TRY TO PUT IN REVERSE. THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD GET STUCK. THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK.

IN 2015 THE A/C COMPRESSOR WHEN OUT AND WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, THEN 21/2 YEARS LATER THE COMPRESSOR WENT OUT AGAIN AND NISSAN REFUSED TO REPAIR. TWO COMPRESSORS IN 5 YEARS AND THEY DIDN'T THINK THIS WAS A ISSUE. I END UP PAYING 1200 DOLLARS TO REPLACE AFTER 2/12 YEARS.

AROUND 7 MONTHS AGO MY CAR WAS JERKING AND STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY, IT WAS TOW TO THE DEALER AND THEY JUST "RESET THE CAR". TODAY HAPPENED AGAIN, THE CAR START BUT STOPS WHEN CHANGING THE GEAR TO DRIVE OR REVERSE MODE SAME SITUATION AS THE LAST TIME.

MY CAR HAS 53,000 MILES ON IT AND BEING A SINGLE MOM OF 3 I CAN'T AFFORD TO PUT NEW TRANSMISSION IN IT. I STILL HAVE PAYMENTS ON THE CAR. DOES THIS CAR HAVE A CVT WARRANTY?

CONSISTENT WITH NHTSA ITEM #10119276, THE MAGNET CLUTCH TO THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR DOES NOT ENGAGE CAUSING THE AIR CONDITIONER TO BLOW HOT AIR. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, THIS COULD POTENTIALLY OVEREXPOSE TTHE OPERATOR TO DANGEROUS LEVELS OF HEAT WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE OPERATOR'S ABILITY TO SAFELY CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND THEREFORE LEAD TO CRASHES AS WELL AS INJURY TO THE OPERATOR SUCH AS HEAT EXHAUSTION OR HEAT STROKE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING, THE RISK OF THE OPERATOR'S OVEREXPOSURE TO THE HEAT CAN BE REDUCED BY ROLLING DOWN THE WINDOWS. HOWEVER DURING RAINFALL, AT SLOW SPEEDS OR WHILE AT A STANDSTILL, THAT OPTION IS NOT AVAILABLE. AS AN EXAMPLE, WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, I REACHED A SECTION THAT WAS SHUT DOWN. THE TRAFFIC WAS BACKED UP AND I WAS TRAPPED ON THE INTERSTATE FORCING ME TO OPERATE MY VEHICLE AT A STANDSTILL FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. WHEN MY OVEREXPOSURE TO THE HEAT CAUSED ME TO BECOME FAINT AND DISORIENTED, I ABANDONED MY VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE AND MADE MY WAY TO THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE. A DOCTOR CAUGHTUP IN THE TRAFFIC BACKUP SAW ME AND WHILE ATTENDING ME STATED THAT I WAS SUFFERING FROM HEAT EXHAUSTION. OTHER MOTORISTS ASSISTED HIM AND WERE ABLE TO FIND SOMEONE WITH A COOLER OF ICE AND SO THE DOCTOR WAS ABLE TO TREAT ME BY ICING ME DOWN. THE DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT I WAS ON THE VERGE OF HEAT STROKE WHICH WAS AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. THIS INCIDENCE MADE ME REALIZE THAT A DEFECTIVE AIR CONDITIONER IS NOT SIMPLY UNCOMFORTABLE AND AN INCONVENIENCE BUT BECAUSE UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS IT CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT THE OPERATOR'S ABILITY TO SAFELY CONTROL THE VEHICLE, IT CAN LEAD TO UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. I NOW BELIEVE THAT ANY PROBLEM THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO ADVERSELY AFFECT THE OPERATOR'S ABILITY TO SAFELY CONTROL THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE.

CAN'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK WITHOUT USING SHIFT LOCK OVERRIDE

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO THE CVT TRANSMISSION. IN FEBRUARY 2018, WHILE MY CAR WAS IN IDLE MODE, MY CAR SHUDDERED AND STALLED. WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK, SHUT THE CAR OFF, AND RESTARTED IT, THE CAR TURNED BACK ON. HOWEVER, WHEN I SHIFTED BACK IN "DRIVE" THE CAR WOULD SHUDDER AND STALL. AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS, THE CAR FINALLY WORKED. LATER THAT DAY, WHILE AT A STOP SIGN THE CAR SHUDDERED AND STALLED. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC. NOTHING SHOWED UP. MY LOCAL MECHANICS REPLACED A SENSOR BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN THE PROBLEM. FAST FORWARD TO AUGUST 2018. MY CAR WHILE DRIVING SLOW BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND THEN STALL OUT. I BROUGHT IT TO NISSAN. THIS TIME THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST SAID I NEED A VALVE BODY REPLACEMENT. THAT COSTED ME $1100. 2 WEEKS LATER. I WAS DRIVING AND WHEN I STARTED TO SLOW DOWN MY CAR SHUDDERED THEN STALLED. I RESTARTED IT FORTUNATELY AND BROUGHT IT BACK TO NISSAN. THEY DID ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC. THIS TIME THEY SAID THE CVT TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE DONE MUCH RESEARCH ON THIS. MANY PEOPLE HAD THIS PROBLEM. MY CAR IS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH 65K MILES ON IT. THERE IS NO REASON WHY THIS SHOULD BE HAPPENING. NISSAN KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM, YET THEY DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.

3 DOOR LATCHES BROKE ON MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA, WITHIN 3 WEEKS OF EACH OTHER. I TOOK MY CAR TO NISSAN FOR REPAIRS THINKING IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY OR RECALL AS SO MANY OTHER OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A DEFECTIVE PLASTIC PART IN THE LATCH THAT BREAKS ON THAT MODEL VEHICLE; THIS PARTICULAR DEALERSHIP HAD FIXED 30 OR SO WITHIN THE PAST YEAR. IT COST ME ABOUT $500 TO HAVE IT FIXED. I HAD BEEN ROLLING THE DRIVER-SIDE WINDOW DOWN TO GET OUT BUT HAD TO HAVE THE BACK DOORS REPAIRED BECAUSE I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AND IF THERE HAD BEEN AN ACCIDENT THE CHILDREN WOULD BE TRAPPED IN THE BACKSEAT. I CALLED CUSTOMER CARE TO COMPLAIN. THEY CONSIDERED MY CASE FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND CAME BACK WITH A DETERMINATION THAT THEY COULD NOT COVER IT BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. EVEN THE NISSAN DEALER INDICATED THAT SINCE SO MANY OF THESE VEHICLES HAD THE SAME PROBLEM A RECALL SHOULD BE GIVEN. I AM DISAPPOINTED AT THE LACK OF ACTION PROVIDED BY NISSAN! GOD-FORBID IF SOMEONE GETS HURT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET OUT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT! I HAVE ATTACHED 9 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER 2013 ALTIMA OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN SHOULD IMMEDIATELY ISSUE A RECALL AND REIMBURSE THOSE THAT HAVE ALREADY HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED.

WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AT AT RED LIGHT, OVERDRIVE TURNED OFF BY ITSELF.

I HAVE HAD THREE DOORS THAT ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND IT SEEMS IT CAN BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE IF INVOLVED IN CRASH BECAUSE DOORS WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE. IT APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE DUE TO NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE SURROUNDING EXACT SAME ISSUE PLEASE HELP WHAT FOOD IS IT TO GET IT FIX ONLY TO HAVE IT HAPPENE AGAIN BECAUSE OF PARTS USED BY MANUFACTURERS.

AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR BLOWS HOT AIR. MACHANIC STATED THAT THE A.C COMPRESSOR HAS INTERNAL MECHANICAL FAILURE CAUSING HIGH SUCTION SIDE PRESSURE. ALSO, IT IS UNDER 100,000 MILES AND SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

THE GEAR SHIFTER WILL NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK INTO ANY OTHER GEARS.

TAKATA RECALL AFTER RETURNING FROM A ROAD TRIP I NOTICED MY CAR SHAKING AND WHEN CHANGING GEARS THE CAR PAUSES BEFORE ACCELERATING. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT IT ONLY COVERS THE ENGINE. WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN RECENTLY EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY TO 100K MILES WHERE THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO FIX THE REPAIRS AND GIVE ME A RENTAL WHILE IT'S IN THE SHOP. NISSAN IS NOT GOING TO FIX THE REPAIRS BUT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL.

THE CAR SHIFT LOCK BUTTON LOCKS THE CAR IN GEAR, THE CAR IS UNABLE TO BE SHIFTED FROM A PARK POSITION TO DRIVE, REVERSE OR ANY OTHER GEAR WHILE IN PARK OR ANY OTHER GEAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTFUL IF YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY AND THE CAR CANNOT BE PUT INTO GEAR! I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY BECAUSE WHEN I WAS PARALLEL PARKING ON A STREET PASSING CARS HAD TO WAIT AND CAME DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO HITTING MY CAR.
