CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2013 Nissan Altima has multiple problem trends including the CVT transmission, and now that this model is out of warranty, it earns our "Avoid Like The Plague" badge.
I have taken the car to the Nissan dealer for this complain a couple of times. I explained to them that the emergency brake light on the instrument panel stays on. How hard is to understand this??
If I mess with the emergency brake pedals I can eventually make the light to go off. Regardless, the car drives and the brake releases the tires it just annoying that this light Intermittently stays on and the dealer ship do not care about it.They want the car all day, I spent money on a rental while they keep my car and fix nothing.
Well I had my brake light coming on while driving and not using the brakes. They reprogrammed it as per a service bulletin and I have not seen it happen again yet.
BRAKE LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF AFTER TAKING THE PARKING BRAKE OFF. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I'M TAKING IT IN. THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID THEY HAD TO RUN SOME NEW WIRES FOR THE PARKING BRAKE AND RESET THE CODE. WELL THAT DIDN'T WORK BECAUSE IT'S STILL DOING IT. WILL UPDATE AFTER I GET MY CAR BACK FROM THE DEALER.
