Car will not release from park unless you press on the brake release button. This happened as my car reached 65k miles. This could be a huge issue and safety if someone was to be stranded out somewhere and they are h able to leave because there car will not come out of park. This problem is affecting a lot of vehicles coming out of nissan.

Inside door handle is made of plastic. This cheap plastic hook's on the end of the cable that causes the door latch to open the door. When this hook brakes the entire door handle assembly must be replaced. This must be an engineered to fail handle that is made to break quit easily. If you look on ebay, hundreds have been sold. I can imagine how much extra revenue and how often dealers get to replace this simple…

Steering · Unknown Or Other · Vehicle Speed Control
After leasing the car for about 4 months, the car developed an issue at 83,000 mile mark. When attempting to turn left or right from standstill the car stalls. I would press down the gas pedal all the way down and the car would not move or accelerate until 6 seconds or so later. Sometimes the car doesn't move at all until i move the steering wheel back and forth. From this i can infer it has to do with the power…

The cvt transmission on my 2013 altima went out. I purchased this car brand new and completed required maintenance. The transmission went out after less than 4 years and at 70k miles. It seems that thousands of consumers have had the same issue. The car will shutter, jerk, and shut off when you are stopped/idle. The car also shutters when accelerating and does not have much power. This was an extreme safe hazard…

I purchased my 2013 nissan approximately four months ago as a replacement car for the nissan altima that was totalled in a car accident. Living in extremely hot weather (in the 100s), it is imperative that the air conditioning (ac) works and works well. I often travel with my 85 year old mother and to have the ac blow hot air while stuck in traffic for almost two hours was something both unacceptable and…
