I have 31,00 miles on my 2013 altima which i purchased about three-and-a-half years ago. I was in my car, and i tried to get out. I pulled on the door handle and the door wouldn't happen. I had to leave my car running in my garage and open the window to get out of the car. This would be dangerous in an emergency situation. This problem can result in death. If someone is in an accident and their window won't roll…

The shift lock will not release. Apparently the solenoid that releases the lock has ceased functioning. The same complaints are found all over the internet and nissan won't acknowledge it. They also want at least $750.00 to replace what is at best a $20 part. That's because it is part of the shift mechanism and they want to replace the entire unit. That leaves only two choices for those who can't afford a repair of…

I was driving on highway at about 60mph on rt 95 in maryland and my sunroof exploded and glass fell all around me. The glass that was left was raised up, suggesting that the cause of the shatter was from something other than an item falling onto the sunroof from the outside.

The back-up camera does not always operate correctly. At times, the camera picture is too dark to view and other times the picture is mostly orange. This takes away from the reliability of this safety device. I had this looked at three times. Since it does not happen all the time, the malfunction was not repeated during the service visits.

We noticed that our car's black dashboard was becoming sticky and shiny during the summer. This has developed into a serious safety issue because it affects my visibility when i'm driving. The melting dashboard creates a strong glare or reflection on the windshield which impedes my ability to see the road and my surrounds. I notified my local dealership and they refused to help me with this problem. I called nissan…
