SRS SUPPLEMENTAL AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING WHEN STARTING THE CAR UP. FOR WHILE I PUT UP WITH THIS, BUT I WAS CONCERNED. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE REPORTING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I EVENTUALLY FOUND A PROCEDURE TO RESET THE WARNING AND FOR A TIME THIS WORKED. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE LOCAL NIISSAN DEALER WAS TOLD THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR WAS FAULTY AND THAT TO FIX IT, THE ENTIRE LOWER SEAT CUSHION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR APPROXIMATELY $2000 WHICH I THOUGHT WAS OUTRAGEOUS. THEY ALSO TOLD ME MY ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM WOULD BE INOPERATIVE UNTIL THIS SENSOR WAS FIXED, WHICH DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. WHY WOULD FAULTY PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR DISABLE ALL AIRBAGS. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD RECALL CARS WITH THESE KINDS PROBLEMS AND NOT STICK CUSTOMERS WITH REPLACING $2000 SEAT CUSHIONS.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY TRANSMISSION STARTED MAKING A LOUD WHINING NOISE AND REVVED UP TO ABOUT 6400 RPM'S AND MY CAR HAD NO ACCELERATION FROM THAT TIME ON.. NOW I'M FACING EITHER PAYING $3400 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION OR JUST TRASHING A PERFECTLY WELL KEPT UP CAR. I'VE ALWAYS MADE SURE TO HAVE MY CAR COMPLETELY SERVICED AND MAINTAINED ON TIME. AFTER THIS I WILL NEVER BUY FROM NISSAN AGAIN. THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS ARE HORRIBLE. NISSAN IS LOOKING AFTER THEIR PROFIT INSTEAD OF RELIABILITY. THIS IS A 2012 ALTIMA WITH 125000 MILES.

STRONG EXHAUST ODOR INSIDE CAR.CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS FOUND,SECOND ONE I WILL HAVE TO PUT ON CAR,FIRST WAS DISCOVERED AT APPROXIMATELY 85/88000 MILES.READ FORUMS AND DISCOVERED EARLIER VERSIONS WERE RECALLED FOR SAME PROBLEM AND SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG LATER MODELS.GOT A HEADACHE FROM STRONG SMELL.VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN CAR IS STATIONARY/IDLING.

THE DASH IS MELTING CREATING A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD SO WHEN SUN OR LIGHTS AT NIGHT IS SHINING MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE ROAD. HAPPENS EVERYTIME THE CAR IS MOVING.

THE TRUNK WILL NOT OPEN WITH THE LEVER INSIDE OR WITH THE FOB. THIS OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR WAS STAIONARY AND WITHOUT WARNING.

NISSAN ALTIMA 2012 2.5S MODEL AT 115000 MILES :WITHOUT INDICATION THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY COULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED AND RPM WOULD GO UP TILL 4000-5000, ALSO THE VEHICLE COULD NOT RUN OVER 65MPH: THE SPEED WAS LOCKED UP WHILE RPM KEPT GOING UP TILL 3500-4000 I HAD A NEAR MISS FROM AN SEVERE FREEWAY ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THAT PROBLEM AND DARE NOT DRIVE ON FREEWAY AFTER THAT. THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING AND THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE FAILURE PATTERN WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AS OLDER MODELS(03-10) OF NISSAN ALTIMA, WHERE THE WARRANTY IS EXTENDED TO 120000 MILES FOR TRANSMISSION. COST MORE THAN 3500 TO REPAIR AND ALL THE MECHANICS I MET WOULD CALL THOSE TRANSMISSION UNITS JUNK AND SOME OF THEM HAD MULTIPLE NISSAN ALTIMA UNDER REPAIR WITH THE EXACT SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM.

AFTER 43K MILES AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES WHEN MY WIFE IS SEATED AND CAR IS BEING DRIVEN. DEALER SAYS WEIGHT REQUIREMENT FOR PASSENGER IS 120 LBS. WHAT IS FEDERAL REQUIREMENT?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE TO MOVE FORWARD WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH CANNON NISSAN OF GREENWOOD (69900 US-82, GREENWOOD, MS 38930, (662) 453-4211) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE CAR HAS BROKE DOWN AND CAN NOT BE DROVE. IT HAS STALLED ON US NUMEROUS TIME DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN NEVADA. WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT BY SEMI TRUCK. THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED NOW AND THE CAR IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY TO FIX. IT HAS 123,000 ON IT.

A RED FLASHING LIGHT THAT LOOKS LIKE A PERSON SITTING WITH A AIRBAG IN THE FACE WON'T GO OFF AND A YELLOW LIGHT THAT HAS A X OVER THE 2ND SEAT. I'M SCARED THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WON'T WORK IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS

2012 NISSAN ALTIMA CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUES. ALTIMA HAS RECALLED FROM 2007-2010 AND THEN AGAIN AFTER 2012 FOR THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS. MINE IS DOING THE SAME THINGS AND NISSAN DOESN'T HAVE A WAY FOR ME TO CHECK THE FLUIDS. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CAN FIX THE PROBLEM FOR OVER $7000. I'M IN THE DEALERSHIP RIGHT NOW AND HE SAYS AGAIN THAT HE CAN'T CHECK THE FLUIDS BUT THAT I CAN REPLACE IT IF I WANT BUT THAT IT MIGHT MAKE IT WORSE. THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES DOESN'T SHIFT AND ENGINE REVS WITHOUT ACCELERATION AT ANY SPEED. PULLING INTO TRAFFIC IS VERY DIFFICULT AND IF I AM UNABLE TO PASS IF NEEDED BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT ACCELERATES AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T.

STICKY, SHINY DASHBOARD WHICH IMPAIRS VISIBILITY DUE TO GLARE AND IS GROSS TO THE TOUCH.

NISSAN ALTIMA 2012 S HAS A BUG ON THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TALKED TO A DEALERSHIP LATELY ABOUT HOW I CAN MAINTAIN MY TRANSMISSION TO AVOID THE PROBLEM HE TOLD ME TO CHANGE THE FLUID AFTER 60K MILES. WHICH I DID RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE I WAS THE SECOND OWNER. I'M SUPPRISE AT 127K MILES, MY TRANSMISSION BROKEN DOWN. AND ALL MECHANICS I BE BEEN TO TELL ME IS A FACTORY ISSUE AND NISSAN KNOWS IT. THEY SAID THE CVT TRANSMISSION MOSTLY COME TO FAIL ON THAT NISSAN AFTER YOU PASS THE 100K MILES. (FACTORY ISSUE WITH THAT CVT TECHNOLOGY THEY SAID). I CALL NISSAN TO SUBMIT THE PROBLEM, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY TOLD THEY CAN'T DO NOTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE OF THE HIGH MILEAGE. THE BAD TRANSMISSION IS VERY DANGEROUS ON THE PUBLIC ROAD, I HAVE BEEN IN THE SITUATION ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHERE I COULDN'T PASS THE 18 WHEELER AND ALMOST CAUSE A CRASH BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR OVER AN HOUR AT SPEEDS 60+ MPH THE TRANSMISSION WILL BEGIN TO WHINE, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME THE RPMS WILL SKYROCKET. THE CAR WILL RAPIDLY DECELERATE WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES ON ROAD TRIPS WHEN THE CAR WAS AT 20K MILES AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN NOW THAT THE CAR IS NEARING 100K MILES.

NO MATTER WAT SIDE I OUT MY DAUGHTER CAR SEAT THE CAR SEAT SEEMS TO ALWAYS TURN SIDEWAYS WITH THE SEATBELT STRAP TO IT AND IT'S VERY UNSAFE FOR MY DAUGHTER TO SIT IN THE SEAT. *DT *TR

THE POWER OUTLET IN THE CENTER CONSOLE HAD GONE BAD SO MY HUSBAND CHANGED THE FUSE AND AS SOON AS I STARTED TO DRIVE, MY CAR STARTED JUMPING AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 15MPH. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD BOTH COME ON. I TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS THEN CRANKED IT AGAIN, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE CAR DROVE FINE. NOW AT RANDOM TIMES, USUALLY IF THE CAR IS LEFT IDLING, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME BACK ON AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS BUT IF I TURN THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS THEN CRANK IT AGAIN, THE LIGHT IS OFF AND THE CAR RUNS FINE AGAIN. THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR WAS REPLACED IN 2017 BUT THAT IS THE CODE WE KEEP GETTING WHEN IT IS HOOKED TO A COMPUTER. THE TRANSMISSION WAS ALSO REPLACED IN 2017, NO ISSUES WITH IT SO FAR... NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY CAR BUT IT'S PRETTY SCARY WHEN I'M DRIVING WITH MY 3 KIDS AND THE CAR DECIDES TO LOSE POWER, JUMP ALL OVER THE ROAD AND ONLY DRIVE 15MPH. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST 3 TIMES A DAY AND SINCE THIS IS MY PRIMARY WAY OF TRANSPORTATION, I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE SO IT CAN BE FIXED AND I CAN SAFELY TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN AGAIN.

HELLO TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I'M POSTING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE OF AN ISSUE THIS VEHICLE HAS AND I'VE HEARD MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. ABOUT AN HOUR OR TWO OF DRIVING THE CAR OR GOING UP A PRETTY STEEP HILL ON A HOT DAY THE CAR LOOSES POWER COMPLETELY AND WILL HAVE TROUBLE TO GO OVER 45MPH AND WHAT I'VE READ UP ON THIS ISSUE THE VEHICLE COME WITH A SENSOR THAT MAKES THE CAR GO INTO A SAFETY MODE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION GETS TOO HOT AND IT'S DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION NOT HAVING A FLUID COOLER. I'VE HAD A COUPLE CLOSE CALLS IN THE FREEWAY WHERE CARS HAVE CAME REALLY CLOSE TO REAR ENDING ME IN THE FREEWAY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY AS WELL AS OTHERS AND WOULDN'T WANT ANYONE GETTING SUED DUE TO AN ISSUE NISSAN HAS WITH THEIR VEHICLE

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE WILL DEACCELERATE GOING FROM 70 MILES TO 45 MILES, EVEN THOUGH MY PEDAL IS FLUSH TO THE FLOOR. THIS HAPPENS SFTER I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 AND 1/2 HOURS. I HAVE HAD THIS CHECKED OUT BY AUTO REPAIR AND HAVE NOT FOUND A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED I WAS IN THE FAST LANE AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. THE SECOND TIME I HAD MY GRANDCHILDREN WITH ME AND WE WERE BASICALLY STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD 2 AND A HALF HOURS FROM HOME WITH NO WAY TO GET ANYWHERE FOR HELP.

THIS WAS A USED PRE-CERTIFIED CAR, PURCHASED FROM THE DEALER IN WHICH DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES UNTIL ITS WARRANTY WAS PRACTICALLY NO LONGER VALID. THE CARS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED TO HAVE ISSUES. THE ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED WITH THE USB PORT CONNECTION TO A CELLULAR DEVICE. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL RECOGNIZE THE PHONE, OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE USB TO PHONE CONNECTION, TURN THE USB CORD AROUND AND RECONNECT A FEW TIMES FOR THE RADIO TO RECOGNIZE THE PHONE. AFTER THIS ISSUES, ONE SPEAKER WENT OUT. LATER ON, A SECOND SPEAKER WENT OUT. I REPLACED BOTH SPEAKERS TO FIND OUT THAT IT IS POSSIBLE THE IN-CAR AMPLIFIER BLEW. AFTER THIS, THE RADIO UNIT WOULD AT TIMES GO COMPLETELY BLACK, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. AFTER THIS, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR NO LONGER LOCKS ELECTRONICALLY, I HAVE TO LOCK AND UNLOCK DRIVER SIDE DOOR MANUALLY BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE DOES INDEED WORK. AFTER THESE ISSUES, I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON FOR A MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. I CLEANED THE SENSOR, AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT AWAY. ABOUT 300 MILES LATER, IT CAME BACK ON AND THE CAR HESITATES/BUCKS CONSISTENTLY WITH A LOSS OF POWER ONCE THE SPEED HITS ABOUT 60 MPH. I-75 HILLS, I CAN NO LONGER ACCELERATE TO MAINTAIN SPEEDS. I REPLACED THE MAF SENSOR, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. I HAD IT CLEARED FROM O'REILLY'S SINCE THE SAME CODE WAS APPEARING ON THE CAR. AFTER 10 MILES SITTING IN IDLE, THE TRACTION CONTROL SENSOR APPEARED. 10 MILES AFTERWARDS THIS ON

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA THE DRIVER EXPERIENCED SUN GLARE WHILE DRIVING A VISIBILITY HAZARD WAS PRESENT THE GLARE WAS CAUSED BY THE MELTING DASHBOARD THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD HAD MELTED CAUSING A SUN GLARE AND VISIBILITY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER(UNKNOWN) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I HAVE A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION ONCE LAST YEAR WHEN THE CAR HAD 80,000 MILES ON IT. THE TRANSMISSION WENT WHEN TRAVELING ON A LONG TRIP, AFTER A HOURS WHEN GOING APPROX 65 MPH AND TRYING THE CAR FAILED TO ACCCELERATE. THE CAR THEN WOULD NOT GO OVER 40 MPH. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ASTHERE WAS A TRACTOR TRAILER BEHIND ME, WHICH FORCED HIM TO SLAM ON BREAKS. VERY DANGEROUS AND SCAREY SITUATION FOR ALL INVOLVED. AGAIN THIS YEAR WHILE TRAVELING FOR APPROX 2 HOURS THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD ON THE LEFT HAD SIDE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS OTHER INSTANCES WHERE THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED OR HAS ALREADY BEEN. THE 2ND TIME IT HAPPENED AT APPROX 99,000 MILES. I HAVE ALREADY CONTACT NISSAN AND AM GOING TO TAKE CAR FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, IF I AM ABLE TO GET IT THERE. I BELIEVE THAT OTHER CARS FOR OTHER YEARS HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED DUE TO A CLASS ACTION SUIT. I HAVE BEEN DOING ALOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS CAR AND YEAR AND NUMEROUS OTHERS HAVE HAD SAME COMPLETE. VERY DANGEROUS AND DEADLY ACCIDENTS WILL OCCUR IF NOTHING DONE ON NISSAN PART. THERE IS NO WARNING THAT ANYTHING WILL HAPPEN. THE LIGHTS IN THE CAR DID NOT GO ON, AND EVEN AFTER PULLING OVER DID NOT GO ON

2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION ISSUES. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD ABRUPTLY STOP ON BUSY HIGHWAYS. NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. *JS

TRAVELING WEST ON HWY 44 STARTED HAVING TROUBLE GOING UP HILLS. PUT PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, AND NOTHING EXTRA. IT WAS STARVING FOR FUEL. TURNED AROUND TO GO BACK HOME, EVENTUALLY STOPPING IN SULLIVAN MO. WHILE GOING BACK I HAD TO GAIN SPEED GOING DOWNHILL IN ORDER TO MAKE IT UPHILL. ON TWO OCCASIONS I HAD A SEMI RIDER MY REAR BUMPER EVEN THOUGH I WAS IN THE SLOW LANE. ONE TIME WHILE GAINING SPED DOWN HILL, I HAD TO PASS THE SEMI IN FRONT OF ME, OR LOSE THE SPEED THAT I HAD GAINED, SO I TRIED TO PASS ON LEFT, AS USUAL, BUT THEN THE ACCELERATION STALLED ONCE AGAIN. I THEN HAD ANOTHER SEMI RIDING IN REAR VIEW MIRROR, AND WAS FEARFUL OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN. I WAS EVENTUALLY PASSED BY SEMI ON RIGHT , I GOT OVER, AND THEN THE SEMI ON THE LEFT PASSED. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT WAS NOT A GOOD SITUATION. I HAVE SEEN ON-LINE THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST NISSAN, BUT NO RECALL FOR THE CVT'S. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A MUST. EVEN THE GUY AT NISSAN HAD TOLD ME THAT HE HAS HEARD OF MANY STORIES JUST LIKE THIS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT/KILLED IF NOTHING IS DONE. NISSAN KNOWS OF PROBLEM, HENCE THE COOLING DEVICE STARTED IN 2013 MODEL. EVEN THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. PLEASE FORCE NISSAN TO CORRECT THEIR ERROR IN JUDGMENT BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. OH, NISSAN DOES WANT TO FIX MY ISSUE, FOR SEVERAL $$$'S THANK YOU, A CONCERNED DRIVER. *TR

LOSSES POWER WHEN DRIVING WHEN MAKING TURNS IT SHAKES IT OVER HEATS

WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR WILL DROP FROM 70 TO BELOW 40 MPH, CANNOT MAINTAIN A SAFE SPEED ON HIGHWAY. PROBLEM IS EXASPERATED WHEN DRIVING UP A HILL. THE ISSUE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THERE IS ALSO A WHIRRING NOISE THE ENGINE MAKES WHEN THIS HAPPENS. AFTER CHECKING ONLINE FORUMS IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM/COMPLAINT AMONG OTHER NISSAN ALTIMA 2012 MODELS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED AND CREATED A GLARE. THE VEHICLE ALSO EMITTED A STRONG RUBBER ODOR. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WE WERE DRIVING UP HILL IN A CANYON GOING 80 MPH WHEN WE SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER. WE HAD ONLY BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR 30 MINUTES BEFORE THIS OCCURRED. WE HAD TO PULL OVER AND LET THE CAR SIT FOR A MINUTE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE IT HOME. IT HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES ON THE WAY TO TAKING IT BACK HOME. *TR

I BOUGHT A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S SEDAN FROM UNIVERSITY NISSAN IN UNIVERSAL CITY, CA. THROUGHOUT ITS LIFE FROM WHEN I RECEIVED CAR AT AROUND 45,000 MILES, EVERY COUPLE THOUSAND 5K-10K CARE ENGINE ENGINE COULD NOT ACCELERATE QUICKER CAR WOULD BEGIN MAKING ENGINE WHINING NOISE. IT WAS NEVER DISGNOSED AS A CVT PROBLEM WHEN I WOULD TAKE CAR TO NISSAN IN WARRANTY REPAIR . DURING DEALERSHIP REPAIR ENOUNTER MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR WAS REPLACED. "MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR" THAT HAS BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLES TIMES THROUGHOUT ITS LIFE AS WELL. CAR NOW HAS A CVT PROBLEM AND STRUGGLES DURING HOT WEATHER AND WORST IF PEOPLE ARE IN CAR NOW.

WITH MY 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA IT IS NOW BECOMING HARDER AND HARDER TO OPERATE WHILE DRIVING. THE DASHBOARD IS STARTING TO MELT AND BECOME STICKY WITH THE HOT TX WEATHER. SINCE THIS HAS STARTING HAPPENING IT'S BECOMING VERY REFLECTIVE ON THE WINDSHIELD AND IS CAUSING A DISTRACTION AND MAKING IT VERY HARD TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANYTHING THAT IS IN FRONT OF ME.

WHILE IN MOTION, THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO DRASTICLY SLOW DOWN FROM SPEEDS OF 60 TO 70 MPH DOWN TO 20 TO 30 MPH. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS DURING THE DAY AFTER DRIVING FOR AN HOUR + AND IN ANY KIND OF INCLINE ROAD. AT HARD INCLINES I CAN BEARLY DRIVE UPWARD EVEN HHAVING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE RPM GAGE BEGINS TO JUMP RAPIDLY TO 5 AND 6 RPM WHEN EVEN SLIGHTLY PRESSING THE GAS PEDDLE, AND ONCE IT ADJUST , THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO MORE THAT 3 RPM WHILE STILL AT A MPH SLOWER THAN 30. THIS WILL STAY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DRIVE UNTIL I HAVE STOPPED AND TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF FOR A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME. TBIS BEGAN HAPPENING AT 100,000 MILES AND NOW AT 150,000 MILES IT HAPPENS VERY FREQUENTLY. I FEEL THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, AND CLEARLY VERY UNSAFE FOR DRIVING LONG DISTANCES ON LARGE HIGHWAYS, WHEN MY VEHICLE SHOULD WORK AS IT SHOULD.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY AND AFTER TWO AND HALF HOURS OF DRIVING COULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 45-50 MILES AN HOUR AND STUCK ON THIS SPEED EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL BEING PRESSED DOWN TO ACCELERATE. I HAD SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES WITH THIS ON THE HIGHWAY IN REGARDS TO ASCENDING HILLS AND HAD NEAR SERIOUS ENCOUNTERS WITH TRUCKS AND OTHER VEHICLES ON ALL INCIDENTS I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE MORE THAN THAT DURATION. I AM ON A WEBSITE CALLED CARGURUS AND HAVE A LOT OF NISSAN 2012 ALTIMA OWNERS WITH THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL HAVING EXACTLY THE SAME TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN ABOUT THIS AND THAT THEY SHOULD DO A QA OF THEIR CALL LOGS AND CHECK OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS AND ALL THEY COULD SAY IS "THERE IS CURRENTLY NO RECALL ON YOUR VIN". INFORMED THEM ABOUT MEDICINE AFTER DEATH NOT POSSIBLE AND PROBLEMS LIKE THIS WITH FREQUENT COMPLAINTS BY CUSTOMERS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND NOT IGNORED TILL PEOPLE START DYING BEFORE THERE IS A NEED TO FIX THIS OR ISSUE A RECALL. THE GEAR BOX AND CV AXLE BASED ON WHAT I HAVE READ MAY BE THE CAUSE OF THIS. I AM NOT A TECHNICIAN BUT THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. EVERY TIME YOU ARE IN A CAR ON THE HIGHWAY ON LONG DISTANCE JOURNEY WITH THIS CAR YOUR LIFE IS ON A LIVE WIRE BECAUSE OF THIS GEAR BOX ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP IN SOUTH HOLLAND IL FOR THIS AND WAS TOLD TO CALL NISSAN AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS WHICH I HAVE DONE. I WILL APPRECIATE YOUR LOOKING INTO THIS PLEASE! THA

TAKATA RECALL, I HAVE A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA AND I PURCHASED FROM A DEALER IN JAN 2015. I BELIEVE THIS CAR MUST BE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. IT'S A PRE-OWNED CAR. JUST AFTER DRIVING IT FOR 1.5YRS, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR THE TRANSMISSION BROKEN. THE SPEED DROPS TO 30MILES/HR FROM 65MILES/HR WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THERE WERE CARS BEHIND ME. IT'S SO DANGEROUS. I WAS LUCKY THAT THE DRIVER BEHIND ME REACTED VERY QUICKLY AND DIDN'T HIT ME. IT WAS UNDER THE WARRANTY SO THEY REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER OF THE TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER, JUST THIS PAST WEEKEND I WAS DRIVING UPHILL ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD AND A SIMILAR PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. MY CAR CAN'T SHIFT CORRECTLY AND THE SPEED DROPS TO 25 MILES/HR FROM 40MIELS/HR. BOTH THE FIRST TIME AND THE SECOND TIME WHEN THIS HAPPENS THERE IS NO SIGNAL LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD. I WENT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY SAID I'M OUT OF THE WARRANTY AND THEY MAY NOT COVER THE REPAIR. I FAILED A CLAIM TO NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND STILL WAITING FOR THE RESPONSE TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE. THEY SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS OF MY CAR BUT I HAVE FOUND A LOT OF REPORTS ONLINE ABOUT THEIR TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND PEOPLE HAD EXPERIENCED SIMILAR TO ME. ALSO, THE STEERING WHEEL DIDN'T WORK FOR A FEW TIMES. NISSAN SAID THEY CARE ABOUT CUSTOMERS' SAFETY BUT I DON'T THINK THEY REALLY DO WHAT THEY SAID. IF THEY REALLY CARE ABOUT OUR SAFETY THEY SHOULD TAKE MORE ACTIONS ON THIS ISSUE AND RECALL THE DEFECTIVE CARS. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS FOR EVERYONE ON THE ROADS.

AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE INDICATES THAT IT IS OFF AND WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON DASHBOARD. HAVE RESET IT SEVERAL TIMES BUT RESET ONLY LASTS ABOUT 30 MINS. 31200 MILES ON VEHICLE. WAS TOLD IT MAY BE SEAT SENSOR AND NEARLY $850 TO REPLACE.

AS I WAS STARTING TO SLOW DOWN IN PREPARATION OF TAKING A TURN OFF THE FRONTAGE ROAD MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, MY BRAKES AND STEERING LOCKED AND LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE MY TURN INTO A GAS STATION WHERE I IMMEDIATELY PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED VIA PUSH START., 2 DAYS LATER THIS OCCURRED AGAIN ON A FAIRLY BUSY STREET WHERE I REPEATED THE STEPS TO START IT AGAIN. I AM EXTREMELY SCARED TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN ON A HEAVILY TRAVELED STREET CAUSING ME TO BE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION , I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND SEE OTHER REPORTS/COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE I DESCRIBED YET DO NOT SEE ANY RECALL ISSUED REGRADING THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT.

CAR WANDERS AND FEELS DANGEROUS OVER 60MPH

CVT PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION DELAY PROBLEM GOING UP HILL VERY SCARY NEED TRANSMISSION LOOKED AT I GUESS PROBLEM VERY COMMON THIS IS A BIG SAFETY PROBLEM ALMOST GOT HIT BY CAR ACTING UP SLOWING DOWN.

THE SEAL ON THE OIL COOLER OF MY VEHICLE HAS FAILED AND NISSAN WON'T REPAIR IT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON ON MY VEHICLE. HERE IS A LINK TO AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT -- HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/NISSAN/ALTIMA/ENGINE-OIL-LEAKING-PROBLEMS.PHP NISSAN TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A MECHANIC AT ONE OF THEIR DEALERSHIPS AT A COST TO ME LOOK AT IT. I HAVE HAD A MECHANIC I TRUST, WHO LOOKED IT AT NO CHARGE AND WHO ONLY WORKS ON NISSANS, DIAGNOSE IT AS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE OIL COOLER SEAL. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AWHILE AND I HAVE EXPLORED OPTIONS TO REPAIR IT AND HAVE FAILED DISCUSSIONS WITH NISSAN A FEW TIMES BECAUSE I REFUSE TO PAY A NISSAN DEALERSHIP MECHANIC TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE WHEN A MECHANIC I TRUST HAS ALREADY DONE SO. THE DATE I PUT IN FOR WHEN IT HAPPENED IS ONLY AN ESTIMATE, BUT MY CAR HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR AT LEAST A YEAR. I JUST THOUGHT OF CONTACTING THE NHTSA ABOUT IT AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE. THIS HAS CAUSED OIL TO LEAK OUT FROM THE OIL COOLER ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC WHO LOOKED AT IT AND THAT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, BUT IT HASN'T BEEN SEVERE TO THE POINT WHERE I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY PUT OIL IN THE CAR.

I HAVE A AUTOMATIC 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA W. 130K MILES. WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND IN ORDER FOR ME TO STOP, I HAD TO PLACE MY EMERGENCY BRAKES ON. THE GEAR WAS STUCK IN BETWEEN NEUTRAL AND REVERSE AND UNABLE TO MOVE. THOUGHT IT WAS A SHIFTER CONSOLE, BUT TURNS OUT IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION. IN THIS MODEL CAR, THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR FAILING CVT TRANSMISSIONS/ENGINES. MY FAILURE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. DUE TO THE MILES, I AM OUT OF WARRANTY AND I DO BELIEVE THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE AT FAULT SEEING THAT THERE IS A SUIT PENDING.

AFTER A FEW HOURS OF DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" ON AN 8 LANE HIGHWAY. AFTER RESEARCH, NISSANS HAVE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION THAT HAS YET TO HE ADDRESSED

WHEN IT RAINS IT LEAKS WATER IN THE VEHICLE NEAR THE SUNROOF IN THE HEADLINER ON BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE OF VEHICLE. IT WILL LEAK (DRIP) WHILE PARKED AND WHILE IN DRIVE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND WAITED UNTIL THE ENGINE COOLED OFF. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT USUALLY HAD TO WAIT A WHILE TO RESTART THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MOSSEY POWAY NISSAN (14100 POWAY RD, POWAY, CA 92064, (858) 668-3600) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A COOLING SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

CVT VEHICLE LOSES POWER WHEN DRIVING ON INCLINE ON HIGHWAY

I BOUGHT MY CAR ONLY A FEW MONTHS AGO AND RECENTLY TAKING IT TO THE BENCH AT THEIR SERVICE, THE TECHNICIANS NOTIFIED ME THAT I HAD A LEAK AND THE GASCKET ENGINE OIL COOLER NEED TO BE REPLACED AFTER THAT I'VE BEEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND I FOUND IT S A VERY COMMON FAULT IN THIS MODEL, MANY OWNERS REPORT THIS PROBLEM AND EVERYONE WONDERS WHY THERE IS NO RECALL YET

TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHINING NOISE..WOULD NOT GO OVER 40 MPH . RPMS WENT UP BUT NO POWER .. HAD TOWED TO DEALER ADVISED TRANSMISSION WAS BAD ..TRANSMISSION SHOP ADVISED WOULD COST $ 3800 TO REPAIR AND NISSAN TRANSMISSIONS WERE FAULTY HAS 150,000 MILES ..

OIL COOLER LEAK WAS DETECTED DURING ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. RESEARCH SHOWED THIS MODEL & YEAR HAS A RECALL ALREADY ISSUED BUT THERE ARE NO CAMPAIGNS FOR THIS SPECIFIC VIN NOT SURE IF THIS IS SOMETHING YOU DEAL WITH OR IF IT'S A MFG ISSUE. NOT SURE WHAT STEPS ARE TO REPORT TO MFG IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE.
