I purchased my 2014 nissan altima with only 6 miles on it in 2014. I only drove my car from school to home, as this was my work vehicle. I finished paying for my nissan in november of 2019. My nissan recently reached 90,000 miles and began to shut down in the middle of traffic. The engine began to jerk and it would not move it were placed in drive or reverse. Then at times when placed in drive the engine would shake and roar loudly, and shut off. My dad had to come and tow the car in twice due to it not shutting down on the interstate and in traffic. The nissan would just stop accelerating and lose power. If it cranked back up at stop lights or stop signs it would accelerate so slowly that I would get caught under red lights or in the middle of on-coming traffic. It would slowly pick up speed with the accelerated pressed all the way to the floor, but there would be a burning smell that the car will give off and it sounds like the engine is in the wrong gear, while in drive.

About a year ago I noticed I could not see well at night. I took my car in to have the headlights replaced. I thought it was my driver side low beam. They replaced it. About a week later it still was not any better. Took it back in and they said it was fine. I replaced the bulb 2 more times and still was awful. Then I discovered that this issue was common in 2014 altimas. I was told I could fix the issue by replacing some parts. Replaced my passenger side, but was told that because of all the issues that the driver's side low beam had melted. I have to replace the entire assembly. This will end up costing $800, for headlights. This is an extremely dangerous problem. I was told I was lucky that my car did not catch on fire. Nissan needs to fix this problem and provide the repairs. Accidents could happen due to this dangerous problem.

My nissan altima 2014 engine caught on fire while driving on va 286 interstate 66 w exit toward front royal for merging onto I-66 w virginia. Luckily I got out safely. I saw smoke come up from under the hood so shut the engine off, so I pulled over to the side. Then a flame came up and I ran out of the car. Within a matter of seconds the whole car was engulfed in flames and is destroyed 75% and I hardly saved my life but lost laptop, mobiles, baby car seat, stroller and other personal stuff. We lost our car which costed us $22,000.00 even engine was under 5 year warranty which caused a reason of fire but nissan is not ready to take responsibility of its product even their product will take your life. We still owe to bank for nissan altima 2014. Help us to cover a total loss from nissan. This stuff should not be happening!! I do not have gap insurance either. Nissan should give us new car as a replacement!!!!
