the headlights are very bad and have to basically drive with the high beams on in order to see because on low beam i almost ran someone over i changed the bulbs a few times but it has not improved any and while changing them that it seems as the bulb burnt something. I have been on the nissan forums and theres many complaints saying that nissan knows something is faulty and they refuse to recall and fix it

The problem with the C17F1 cvt judder when pressing the gas the car would not go. So you turn car off. Then restart car pressing gas all the way down, and the car jumps forward and luckily doesn’t hit car in front of you. Nissan is well aware of cvt transmission problems on 2011 and 2015 Altima’s in which now it costs me $5400.00 to replace this transmission. Nissan should of advertised this car as LEMON transmission CAR because you are almost guaranteed to have the transmission replaced. My car has 102 thousand miles and I’m forced to Pay $5400.00 for this defected transmission that Nissan was well aware of. I hate this car that I have paid so much money for. On top of list price plus this repair that I will never get my money back costs over 27000 dollars. I’m retired and Nissan sold me a 🍋 LEMON.

The hood of my car keeps jamming but has a weird noise at times while in motion. The dealership is no longer in business I'm guessing because no one neither the cars are there. It's an empty lot.. The last time as I was driving around a curvy street the hood popped opened unexpectedly

My wife's 2015 altima 2.5 sl has a tremendous water leak on the drivers side filling the cabin with inches of water. This vehicle has been garage kept for the 5yrs, but with the purchase of my new car we know keep the altima in the driveway. After a recent rain I noticed a very strong musty, moldy odor and the sound of water as I backed out of the driveway, as I reached level ground my feet where soaked with water. I have had the drain tubes cleaned and cleared as this was mention to me at the dealership as a common problem. This did not fix the water leak and nissan requires $475 to check the problem further. I did a search online and noticed this is a common problem with nissan vehicles, as this water leak seem to come from faulty structural welding it's a safety hazard to the electrical system and safety of the vehicle as a whole, we now experience slight electrical glitches with our altima which again I feel is a safety hazard.

I never received my recall so I can get my car fixed. While driving with a passenger in the front seat my air bag light says off not recognizing the passenger which can result in injury. Also the hood latch has a recall that needs fixing.

My car which was purchased less than a month ago, is back at the dealership for the third time. The car continues to have many issues. There is a shimmy/vibration in the steering column as well as vibration in the door, accelerator and floor boards. It often seems that there are problems with the suspension as well as the brakes. The most important issue is that the car continues to drive off the road to the right and you have to force it out of a right-hand turn. Although this problem also seems to occur to the left as well, it is not as apparent. What is apparent, is when you try to compensate for the drifting, it over-compensates to the other side and it never feels as though the tires are holding the road at all times. It is practically impossible to manage the car on the highway. This issue is a huge safety issue that is not only putting the lives of myself and my family in danger but the lives of the others on the road as well. I have absolutely no confidence that this car can be repaired to any level of safety.
