Cluster failed and some lights on dashboard are not visible. This is known issue see ntb14-049 and should warrant a recall because you can't see anything on dashboard. Cost is 1000. Contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs and was told they won't recall or cover repair unless your office requires recall.

The glow in the dark emergency trunk release handle pulled off. Either the angle at which it was positioned or the materials made it so flimsy that it pulled off within the trunk. I thought there was a recall on this but I can't see on.

The passenger air bag light comes on indicating that the air bag is off even when there is a person in the passenger seat. I brought this to the attention of the dealer first on May 28, 2013 and was told the computer was reset and if I continued to have a problem they would install a new sensor. When I returned with a problem I was told that I would need to contact Nissan customer affairs. I attempted to contact them by phone and then sent a letter to Nissan customer affairs on August 30, 2013. An attempt to correct the problem was made by the dealer on septemer 12, 2013 but I am still having problems with the issue. I was told that even though the light indicates that the air bag is off it would deploy if there was an accident. I am not convinced. I have not received a recall on this problem but as early as yesterday August 28, 2014 the light was on for almost 50 miles indicating that the air bag was off while my wife was sitting on the passenger seat.

Car shakes at 1900 RPM (everytime you pass by 1900rpm) and when stopped at light (when you have brakes applied). This vibration can be feeled by driver & passenger and whole car shakes. I had it pointed out during the servicing/oil changes to Nissan technician and all I got is "it is normal for cvt so car will vibrate". this vibration is a safety issue as on an avg I driver the car for an hour a day. And if I stop at lights for 10 minutes on an avg, then I am exposing my self to this vibration for that much time a day which is bad. Its specially bad for my legs. Nissan does not have a fix at the moment for this issue but I epxect a brand new car not to vibrate as horrible as this. My 10 year old car was much smoother then this. The overall experiance is horrible and will advise all to stay away from Nissan because they are not admitting the problem and they dont have the solution for such a problem. This is a safety issue when you consider the effects on long term exposure and I feel goverment should do something about it.

I purchased a Nissan Altima 2013 in August 2012 and I have heard that Nissan has made safety improvements to the most recent cars being produced to increase the overall safety. Are these changes going to be made to the cars made that do not have the improvement.

I was driving on I-5 heading North from oceanside, ca when the moon roof spontaneously exploded. There was no contact with any object whatsoever. There was first a loud bang, like the sound of a gun being fired at close range and then the glass of the moon roof fell on me and into the auotmobile cabin..
