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.
Dashboard lights, steering wheel controls, front head lights, turn signals, od button do not work. All went out Saturday morning. The speedometer, gas gauge, rpm gauge, all the gauges do not work. As if a main fuse blew out. I'm here waiting at dealership to see what they say is wrong with it. It is still under warranty so let's hope this Austin Nissan dealership doesn't try to pull any fast ones.
Update from Dec 24, 2014: Ok, the reason for much of the lights and controls of steering wheel going out is because at the time the new car was delivered to dealership, they forgot to fully insert the fuse box under the steering wheel. Nissan does this so it saves the battery from being drained until a dealership receives it. So make sure when you buy a new nissan that the "new arrival inspection" has been completed.
