2013 NISSAN ALTIMA — Complaint #1595628

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about SUSPENSION:REAR:SHOCK ABSORBER filed August 19, 2019

NHTSA complaint #1595628 (ODI reference 11245039) concerns a 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA and was filed on August 19, 2019. The owner reports the failure occurred on August 16, 2019. The vehicle had 69,603 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Ohio based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as suspension:rear:shock absorber, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same NISSAN ALTIMA cohort independently describe similar suspension:rear:shock absorber failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
