When i first bought my car the headlights worked fine, now they are so dim you cannot see when driving at night or in the rain. I spoke with a mechanic to see what was going on with the light, and told me that the chrome around the light bulb is not reflecting the light of the bulb and that is why its so dim. He also advised me that this is a common issue that he sees in nissan altimas 2012 and above. The cost for…

One takata airbag was recalled and repaired. The second takata airbag has developed the same faulty readout on the dashboard and should be part of the recall. Dealer (rip-off) quoted nearly $5k to repair which is electrical, is not faulty through misuse, and should be nissan responsibility. Please help this veteran's widow.

I have been to the dealer several times with the complaint of the car constantly drifting left and right and not being able to control the handling of the vehicle.

I do not feel safe driving the car as i don't have full control ,nor do i like having my son in the vehicle and try to avoid freeways but it pretty much drifts at all speeds. I…

So i assumed that maybe there was a sensor problem. I was leaving from work when i approached a stop sign and came to a stop. As i…

My 2013 nissan altima wanders lt and rt on the interstate at speeds from 65-75 mph. It is even more noticeable with winds 10+ mph.

This problem is even multiplied when it is raining, if feels like the car is hydro-planing. It is scary and dangerous. After researching this on google i found multiple…
