BEWARE!! .. SV Daytime Running Lights do not work!

The list of 2016 Altima SV Standard Equipment in Nissan Literature includes "Daytime Running Lights". Even though the lights are installed near the headlights, they DO NOT WORK!! I called the Nissan Consumer "Care" line. Their response.. "use your fog lights instead" .. turns out they know the lights don't work and THEY REALLY DON'T "CARE". I am now making an appeal to the BBB Auto Line claiming fraud. I understand my chances are remote.. but I'm upset. If you are looking at the 2016 Nissan Altima SV, make sure the sales person demonstrates that the mounted daytime running lights really work.

The car has paint issues on the front bumper. The front bumper has been painted once before and again the paint is flaking off. The rear passenger side door does not open from the inside or outside of the car. The transmission is bad at less then 17,000 miles and less then 1 year on the road.

I love this car. It is the perfect size, even the back seat is adequate, certainly for shorter rides. It has a much smoother ride than I expected, particularly since I came from a Lincoln Town car. Great mileage, and a nice big gas tank mean a great range before having to stop. Only real criticism has to do with the cheap plastic in the interior that I know will degrade, wear or crack with time and use, specifically the door storage slots. These were not made to be durable. Update: I continue to love this car. It is the perfect size for me as I lug around things for some travel. I also have not received much in the way of complaints about the back seat. It's reasonably comfortable - although I'd prefer a bit more lumbar support in the driver seat. Mileage is very good, getting close to 40 mpg on road trips. Update: After three years and several trips, I am still very happy with this car. Mixed driving results in about 31.5 mpg. I did have one problem with the plastic piece of the visor that pops in and out of the slot breaking and I had to get that fixed. It is a poor design in that it narrows in the very segment that receives the most force. My only other complaint is that there is a whine that the mechanic states has to do with the automatic steering that is an unfortunate byproduct of the design. It is not a deal breaker, but it can get annoying, despite not being loud. I was told that previous models the noise was worse and Nissan improved upon it so hopefully they will improve it even more. Other than that, I am very happy with my Altima and hope it continues to serve me well now that the warranty is up.

Great car Minus CVT replacement

AT a bit over 65,000 mile our CVT went out. Why if there are so many complaints are they not recalling this issue? They need to recall these cars and give a refund to people who have had to pay for this issue. also you can't have the rear windows open due to the vibration if the radio is on.
