The inside driver's side handle has broken. This happened all of a sudden one morning when the vehicle was in park. It was very cold the night before and was below freezing at the time of this occurring. It is loose and will not open the door. In order to exit the vehicle, the window must be rolled down and the door must be opened from the outside. This happens whether the car is on or off.

I began doing research after my vehicle did this to me the other day twice. While driving between 40-50 mph the car just shut off. Lights illumined on the dash board and thankfully i did have power steering and brakes so i was able to coast onto the side of the road and restart the vehicle in park however this could be a dangerous and deadly situation to either me or innocent bystanders/drivers. From what i have…

The rear suspension on our vehicle detached unexpectedly and without warning while we were driving. The vehicle was driving straight on a city street. Thankfully no one was injured. Once the vehicle no longer in motion it was apparent that the rear control arm / rear suspension had detached from excessive rusted. The vehicle is a 2013 with no outer body rust. It seems like this could be a defect as well as a…

The vehicle will not start after warm up/driving for a while and then turned off. It will continuously run if engine does not get turned off. In order to start the engine again, it has to cool down, then the cycle starts again. It only happens when hot. It always starts cold or cooled down. Took it to nissan dealer for diag and they said that is was the fuel injectors, so we replaced them on their advice - but that…

Takata recall: while driving on a paved road at a speed of about 45 mph, the right rear subframe failed catastrophically due to apparent corrosion. The failure occurred at the location of the bushing to the frame. The result was that the rear wheel offset and control of the vehicle was compromised. This is a historic problem with nissan and they have not addressed the problem with the new model in 2013. It is unsafe…

My nissan altima 2013 2.5s has started having this issue - often the gear stick will get stuck in park mode and won't come out. This happens especially when the car is started. Screw driver or a sharp item needs to be used to release the shift lock. This is painful and it can occur anytime. I took to dealer. Dealer said it could cost more than 500$ to fix the shift lock. When searching in the internet, many nissan…

My call stalled when i was stationary, in drive, at an intersection. Since then whenever i shift into either drive or reverse the car stalls and shuts off. The check engine, check battery, and general warning light all come on when i experience this problem. I have seen other people on various online forums report this issue. My nissan altima 2013 has a little over 80,000 miles on it. I am the only owner of this car.
