The problem we encountered was, when leaving to go to the movies, we heard a large bang went to see if something was under the car. Next we drove a few feet and heard a dragging noise. Upon inspection the rear tire was out of line. When checking the underside of the car, we were taken back by what we saw. The entire part of the car was rusted and the frame had rusted away from the main part of the car. We had gone out the night before and were on the highway going at least 50 MPH, had this happened then we would have been killed. That night we were heading toward the highway to go to the movies. I can't believe the condition of the car. This car is kept in the garage and the underside had been hosed down to keep the salt from harming the underside. I have looked into this and found these cars have had many complaints about the rust underneath these cars. It has been happening for years. Some around 2005 and some even older that that. I would like to know why there hadn't had a recall in regards to this complete rust problem on the underside of these cars. I think we may have a case against nissan after reviewing and having the knowledge of all the cars dealing with this problem.most of these people said they will never buy another nissan because of this problem. I will have to have the photo's sent later as I do not have the phone with them on it.

On 14 may 2019, while I was driving to a family member's house on livingston road in accokeek, md, my hood popped open and obstructed my view of driving. I had to pull of the road to pull the hood down. It was very fearful. I could have killed myself or someone else. This isn't the 1st time it happened to me. It also happened in august 2018 in doswell, va. Both of these incidents were reported to my insurance company.

Shift gear get stuck at parking mode while moving car. This is serious problem at it may occur while moving. We approach nissan but no help from them. How come nissan allow to not having recall on this as many owners are feeling this problem. We would appreciate if the federal safety agency comes in help.

Three major issues has been occuring with my 2013 nissan altima 2.5 sl 1. Brake light comes up randomly while driving at local or highway speed. 2. Hood pop up while driving - issue with latch 3. Transmission is making grinding noise.
2013 nissan altima moonroof exploded while driving on the interstate at approximately 75mph. There was a loud pop and air was heard on roof. Saw flying debris from rearview mirror while trying to pull over to see what happened. Pulled over and realized large chunks of the tempered glass was gone. There were minor scratches on the trunk paint from the debris hitting it as it flew off. There was very little traffic around and no overpasses. Temperatures weren't extreme as it was a mildly warm fall day (mid 60's) and roads were dry. The glass is sticking out above the roof which indicates that it was an explosion rather than something crashing down on the moonroof.
My 2013 altima started to hesitate and jerk when I was driving. Then when I would be stopped and ready to pull out my car will not go and then finally catch and go. It wont go over 30 miles an hr at some points. When I brought it to nissan they did a diagnostic on it and its the CVT transmission that needs to be replaced. I was told my warranty expired 2000 miles ago and its gonna cost me $3500 for a new one. Ive only owned my car for 2 yrs. I am so dissatisfied with nissan and they are so unprofessional to not fix this known problem with there CVT issues on all their vehicles.. I have also replaced the inside door handles on both doors..
Tl* the contact leased a 2013 nissan altima. The contact stated that rust and corrosion caused the rear driver's side wheel to fracture from the frame.

The inside door handles on the front driver's side door and the rear passenger side door have both broken. There has to be something wrong with the manufacturing on this. I have owned 4 vehicles in my life, with all 4 of those vehicles having more than 100,000 miles on them when I traded them or stopped driving them, and have never had issues with the door handles. This car currently has almost 73,000 miles on it. The driver's side door handle broke last year and the rear door handle broke this morning. The vehicle was stationary when this happened. I am very concerned about being in a situation where the car needs to be exited immediately and we can't because the door handles will not work!
The nissan altima 2013, driver side door handle breaks, trapping individual in car causing a safety issue in any urgent or emergency situation. Car was stationary when complaint happened. Frequent occurrence with thousands or models 2011-2015 as indicated by consumer reports. Consideration for recall.
After normal driving, I parked the car, grabbed the driver side handle to open the door and it just sort of flopped out. There was no connection to the interior pieces to open the door. To exit, I have to keep the car running, open the window, reach through and use the outside door handle to open the door (which is very difficult as I am not tall), then close the window again before I can turn off the car and exit.
The 2 front inside door handles stopped functioning within 2 months of each other. The door handle would just swing freely like it wasn't connected to anything. I would have to roll my window down open the door from the outside then roll the window back up to be able to turn my car off. It cost nearly $300 to fix the issues over 2 different appointments at the dealership.

Water leaks into my driver and rear floor boards when it rains. I mean it has so much water I have to use my shop vac to suck it out then take towels to the floors. Car smells like mildew and mold.

I did research and many other people with cars like mine complain about the same thing .
