2013 Nissan ALTIMA Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1268249
Internal NHTSA #	10846343

Brand	NISSAN
Model	ALTIMA
Model Year	2013
File date	07/03/16
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	For unknown reasons, the brakes stay on causing the car to either not move, or to go into limp mode. When this happens, the gear shifter can be moved out of park without depressing the brake. Also, the car can be started without having to depress the brake pedal. Sometimes, the outside brake lights stay on, sometimes they don't. I replaced the brake light switch and manually operating the switch would not make lights go off. Sometimes when driving, the brake system will release and vehicle accelerates rapidly, to the point of losing control. Sometimes, a quick pump of the brake pedal will release whatever is going on-sometimes nothing will cause it to go back to normal. Removing the negative battery cable will turn off the lights, but will not reset the problem. Dealer has no suggestions to remedy the problem, except to let them keep the car and to start replacing parts until they make the problem go away. Nissan america says nissan has already spent too much money trying to resolve previous issues on this car and would not spend another penny!!! Private mechanic that is trying to troubleshoot problem is having no luck determining the cause. There are nissan tsb's about shorted wiring, but only nissan techs can acces those. Car has been in shop 44 times for 62 days for various major problems that nissan can't or won't fix completely. Nissan refuses to try to make the situation right, even though they admit the down time is exorbitant and not in lines with their company satisfaction guarantee.
