1. Three handles on the nissan altima on my car have snapped off when opening. Even after replacing them they still snap off probably because in cold weather they become brittle. If he handles were metal they would not snap off. My concern is if during an accident before emergency vehicles could arrive that if someone were to try to assist getting me out of the car the handles would snap off and they could not remove me from the car. This is extremely dangerous the handles on cars should not snap off and plastic handles are extremely dangerous in all climates. 2. I have had my front headlights cleaned three times and they always fog up within several weeks of cleaning. The dealership has said it is faulty design and to replace the headlamps is close to a thousand dollars with 1 year guarantee which is very cost prohibitive. I have seen cars less than two years old with opaque head lamps this is unaccetable and dangerous that lights can not project light appropriately and this is on most models of cars. If you are in rural areas and the lights do not project light this is a big problem. I can not believe that metal handles and durable headlight covers that don't fog are not required of these companies. Until the last 15-20 years this was never a problem but car manufacturers are opting for cheap materials that can have lethal repercussions for crucial safety items. Car handles and head lamps as far as safety are as crucial as proper airbag function. Handles should not snap off in your hands and headlamps if cleaned should remain clean and not foggy and this does not happen. Please address this concern.

I bought this '05 altima about 2 months ago. I don't drive at night a lot but when I did for the 1st time, I noticed the low beam headlights were in the trees. I found an adjustment screw on back of the headlight assembly and found that when I adjusted it, it turned both the hi and low beams down. When the low beams came close to level- the hi beams were now hitting the ground 15 ft in front of the car. I found a recall # on line for this very issue dating back to blogs in late 2004. It's # 07e087000. Sunnyvale (ca) nissan turned me away this morning saying that based on my VIN- there is no recall on the headlights. This is a hazard as I have little light on the road at night unless I drive with my brights on. Can you help? Thanks

I bought a 2005 altima 2.5 s brand new and it has always been garaged and kept in perfect condition. My headlights have started to oxidize horribly but only on the inside, this seems like a poorly made product, if after only about 5 years my headlights start failing to perform with no warranty?

I recently experienced my vehicle stalling as I was driving. It took several minutes for me to restart leaving me venerable to a vehicle crash. The same evening I learned of recall# 07v527000. The following day I brought my vehicle to a nissan dealership to have the recall resolved. They advised the recall only covers reprogramming computer not replacing defective crank sensor. I feel that reprogramming computer will not resolve safety issue as the sensor is defective and could fail even with reprogramming computer. I was charged 96.00 dollars to have problem diagnosed. Dealer refused to replace defective part. To my understanding many other altima owners experience this same problem and are forced to pay for defective parts that fail.dealer did not offer to reprogram computer they insisted that only replacing the defective part would resolve my issue which was not covered by recall.

November 14 2007653,910 vehicles recalled 2005 nissan altima -- on certain passenger vehicles equipped with a 2.5l engine, the crankshaft position sensor can overheat causing a brief interruption in the signal output from the sensor. If the interruption in the signal from the crankshaft position sensor is so brief that the electronic control module (ECM) logic does not have time to diagnose the condition, the engine may stop running without warning while the vehicle is driven at a low speed increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will reprogram the ECM free of charge.

The headlights on my 2005 nissan altima look like they are burned on the inside and foggy looking. At night they are very dim, almost as though I was driving in a constant thick fog. The front windshield has foggy looking circles all over inside the glass and makes visibility hard.
