1 Windshield Wiper/washer problem of the 2021 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 02/12/2024

Windshield repair issue I have a cracked windshield that I attempted to have repaired through my insurance company. The repair company I was sent to was unable to remove the windshield, so they referred me to Nissan, as they are the manufacturer of my vehicle. However, when I went to Nissan, I was informed that they could not remove the necessary bolts to replace my windshield without breaking my windshield wiper motor. This situation poses significant safety risks. A cracked windshield compromises the structural integrity of the vehicle, reducing its ability to protect occupants in the event of an accident.

4 Windshield Wiper/washer problem of the 1999 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 01/17/2003

The sway bar doesn't stabilize the vehicle. When driving the vehicle it bounces sideways, there noise when going over bumps (possible bent strut), and bounces sideways. The rear seat behind the driver collapsed upon the impact of the accident. The cruise control didn't appear to cancel when the vehicle was out of control. The cruise control is fine when driving straight, but if the vehicle swerves, the vehicle goes out of control. The antenna squeaked-was greased, the wipers are wrong-replaced, and the vehicle made a humming noise when accelerated. Scc.

5 Windshield Wiper/washer problem of the 1997 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 06/14/2002

While taking a right turn from a stop, the passenger side windshield wiper failed to actuate. Luckily I was only a few miles from my home and the driver's side still worked in the heavy rain. After further inspection I found the link assembly that connects the left wiper to the right one was dislodged. The plastic "snap" knuckle and metal ball joint were worn and came apart thus causing the right wiper to not move. I replaced the wiper actuating linkages and motor assembly. While at the parts counter at decormier Nissan, I noticed two other mechanics obtaining the same parts for the same problem on cars in their service department. The parts attendant says they keep these items in stock because of their high demand. I am sending this to you because of the potential dangers involved if this failure had occurred on the highway at a high rate of speed. Dt.
