TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG OFF WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY.

WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE CAR CUT OFF ! I RESTARTED AND PUT IT IN GEAR AND THE CAR CUT OFF AGAIN. THE CAR WOULD IDLE FINE IN PARK AND NEUTRAL BUT CUT OFF WHENEVER I PUT IT IN GEAR. AFTER PUSHING THE CAR TO A LOT AND LEAVING IT FOR 12 HOURS THE CAR STARTED TO WORK NORMALLY. HOWEVER THE NEXT DAY THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED ! AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE I FOUND THAT THIS TRANSMISSION HAS MAJOR ISSUES AND NISSAN ISN'T ADDRESSING IT. I OPENED A CASE WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS CASE NUMBER 22626692 AND WAS TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE MY CAR HAS 81K MILES . MAKING IT 20K MILES OVER THE MANUFACTURE WARRANTY. THERE IS NO WAY THAT A WELL MAINTAINED CARS TRANSMISSION SHOULD FAIL AT 80K MILES. NISSAN KNOWS THIS YET THEY ARE FAILING TO HELP CONSUMERS WITH THIS PROBLEM ! THE CVT TANSMISSION CAN CAUSE SOMEONE TO LOSE THEIR LIFE ..

I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGERS SIDE AIRBAG FOR 3 YEARS NOW. YOU CAN HAVE A 140 UP TO A 300 POUND PASSENGER IN THE SEAT AND THE AIR BAG TURNS OFF. I HAVE BEEN JERKED AROUND BY THE DEALER AND NISSAN AMERICA. THEY CAN'T GET IT TO TURN THE LIGHT ON.. I HAVE IT ON VIDEOS NOT WORKING.. THEY HAVE RE-FLASHED IT SEVERAL TIMES OR I WAS TOLD THEY HAVE.THE CAR IS NOT SAFE FOR A PASSENGER TO BE IN. PER NISSAN YESTERDAY 8/8/2016 A NEW RECALL IS COMING. THIS HAS BEEN 3 YEARS NOW AND THE CAR IS NOW PAST THE WARRANTY PERIOD.. I AM SURE THEY WILL TRY TO CHARGE ME NOW... WOULD YOU PUT A LOVED ONE IN THAT SEAT KNOWING THE AIR BAG MAY NOT WORK??? NISSAN WAS TO CALL ME AGAIN TODAY 6/9/2016 AND STILL HAS NOT HAPPENED.. TIME TO REPLACE ALL THE SENSORS AND THE CONTROLLERS...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, THE ENGINE CUT OFF AND RESTARTED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THERE WERE RECALLS REGARDING THE FAILURE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS), 16V029000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES), AND 15V116000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES)). THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

AFTER THE 2016 RECALL, TO CORRECT THE FAULTY PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF CONDITION, WHEN A PASSENGER NOT MEETING THE MINIMUM AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT REQUIREMENTS IS SEATED THE THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE DRIVERS "AIR BAG OFF" WARNING INDICATOR IS NOW ALWAYS ILLUMINATED WHEN THE PASSENGER'S SEAT IS UNOCCUPIED. THIS CONDITION LEADS TO INCORRECT OPERATION OF THE WARNING INDICATOR WHICH NOW DISPLAYS THIS WARNING DURING A NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE. UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS WHEN THERE IS NO PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE, THE CONSTANT ILLUMINATION OF THE WARNING LIGHT WILL OVER TIME BE IGNORED BECAUSE OF ITS CONSTANT ON CONDITION. THE OPERATION OF THE THIS INDICATOR MAKES ABOUT AS MUCH SENSE AS HAVING THE "SEAT BELT UNFASTENED" WARNING LIGHT ALWAYS ILLUMINATED FOR AN UNFASTENED SEAT BELT FOR AN UNOCCUPIED PASSENGER SEAT.. THE INAPPROPRIATE AND MISLEADING OPERATION OF WARNING INDICATION LEADS TO THE OPERATOR'S DISREGARD OF THE WARNING INDICATOR'S SIGNIFICANCE. OVER TIME, THE DRIVER WILL ACCEPT THE ON CONDITION OF THIS WARNING LIGHT AS A NORMAL OPERATING INDICATION AND MAY LEAD THE DRIVER NOT RECOGNIZING THE SIGNIFICANCE IF THIS WARNING LIGHT REMAINING "ON" IN THE EVENT THAT A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER, MEETING THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT CRITERIA, OCCUPIES THE SEAT. THE OPERATION OF THIS WARNING LIGHT MUST BE RETURNED TO ITS PER-RECALL OPERATION OF ONLY ILLUMINATING WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED BY A PASSENGER NOT MEETING THE CRITERIA FOR AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. ANY OTHER OPERATION OF TH

CAR STOPPED RESPONDING TO PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL - TOOK ITS TIME GETTING IN GEAR, BOTH FROM A COLD START, AND AFTER STOPPING AT AN INTERSECTION. EVEN AFTER THE CAR WAS MOVING, CAR WAS SLOW TO RESPOND TO GAS PEDAL. REPAIR SHOP DIAGNOSED IT AS A CVT FAILURE; WE'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ON A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE AT 74,000 MILES.

TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON WEDNESDAY MAY 25TH 2016. WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR CUTOFF TWICE, AFTER THE CAR RESTARTED AND I PLACED IT IN DRIVE IT WOULD NOT DRIVE.

THIS IS TO REPORT AND COMPLAIN ABOUT RECALLS ON MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA RECALL: 16V-029 I TRAVELED TO MY LOCAL DEALER [KLINE NISSAN, MAPLEWOOD, MN] OVER A YEAR AGO FOR A SIMILAR RECALL FIX TO THE HOOD LATCH'. MY ONLINE RECORD STILL SHOWS IT IS NEEDED (NTB16-011; EXTERNAL RECALL NUMBER: PC426) I DID NOT RECEIVE NOTIFICATION OF THE ABOVE RECALL UNTIL MONTHS AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE. I WENT AGAIN FOR THE ABOVE REF. RECALL AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART IN STOCK AND IT COULD BE "QUITE SOME TIME" AND WOULD CALL ME. IT HAS BEEN OVER TWO MONTH AND NO CONTACT. I JUST RECEIVED A SECOND MAILING ON THIS RECALL STATING THAT I HAD NOT TAKEN CARE OF IT. THIS IS A FRUSTRATING AND A TIME WASTING PROCESS. RECALL: PASSENGER A.B. (NTB16-052? R1609? NOT CLEAR FROM THE ONLINE DESCRIPTION WHAT THIS IS) I NOW SEE THAT MY PASSENGERS HAVE BEEN AT RISK OF AN INOPERABLE AIR BAG. I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED NOTICE THIS THIRD RECALL WHEN LOOKING UP THE OTHER TWO RECALLS ONLINE. THUS I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE BENEFIT OF THIS SAFETY FEATURE THAT I PAID FOR THREE YEARS AGO. BEYOND THE TIME AND COST OF TRAVELING TO/FROM AND WAITING FOR THESE ERRORS TO BE FIXED IS THE LENGTH OF TIME OUR MONEY HAS BEEN WASTED ON A FEATURE WE PAID FOR. THERE NEEDS TO BE MONETARY COMPENSATION FOR THESE SIGNIFICANT ERRORS AND PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO KEEP STATING "AT NO COST" BECAUSE THERE IS COST IN TIME AND MONEY TO CONSUMERS. THERE IS ALSO AN EMOTIONAL COST WHEN WE WERE AND ARE STILL AT RISK BUT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAI

I OWN A 2013 ALTIMA SV PURCHASED BRAND NEW, APRIL 2013 AND I AM HAVING SERIOUS STEERING ISSUES WHEN DRIVING OVER 60-65MPH, CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS WANDERING ALL OVER THE ROAD, I CONSTANTLY FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO CORRECT THE STEERING, VERY UNSAFE FEELING AND WEARS YOU OUT, ONE COPLAINT I READ MENTIONED THAT ITS LIKE DRIVING ON ICE, GREAT ANALOGY UNFORTUNATELY IT REALLY DOES!! MY HUSBAND TRAVELS AND DRIVES A GREAT DEAL AS PART OF HIS JOB AND HE DRIVES EVERYWHERE, HE STATED THAT HE EVEN FEELS UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS IN THIS CAR ALSO AND HE DRIVES ALL KINDS OF CARS. I HAVE ACTUALLY STARTED TAKING ALTERNATE ROUTES TO AVOID DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT THESE HIGHER SPEEDS, WHICH IS COMPLETELY LUDICROUS, IT'S ONLY A 3 YEAR OLD CAR WITH LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT AND PURCHASED BRAND NEW BY ME AND I SHOULD FEEL SAFE IN IT, AND AT THE HIGHER SPEEDS, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN IT!!! I HAVE READ LOTS OF REVIEWS AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, SO OBVIOUSLY NISSAN HAS GOT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND YOU WILL FIND THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINTS...SO, WHEN IS SOMETHING GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS.??? NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP UP AND ISSUE A RECALL BECAUSE SOMETHING VERY CLEARLY IS NOT RIGHT WITH THE STEERING AS EVIDENCED BY MANY COMPLAINTS,,WE CAN'T ALL BE MAKING THIS UP!!!! AT LOWER SPEEDS IT IS FINE, I DON'T HAVE THE PROBLEM UNTIL I HIT ABOUT 60-65 AND NO, I WILL NOT GET USED TO IT, AS NISSAN LIKES TO TELL THEIR CUSTOMERS! WE EVEN PUT BRAND NEW BRIDGESTONE T

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO COMPLETE THE RECALL REPAIR FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V029000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE DEALER SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AND, WHEN THE CONTACT ARRIVED FOR THE REPAIR, THEY STATED THAT THE HOOD LATCH WAS ON BACK ORDER AND THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A TIME FRAME THAT THE PART MAY BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A FUEL PUMP RECALL AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT AWARE AND THE DEALER DID NOT MENTION NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V468000 (SUSPENSION) AND 16V244000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WITHOUT ANY WARNING AT ALL, HOOD FLEW UP WHILE CAR WAS GETTING UP TO SPEED ON 4 LANE EXPRESSWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. IT SMASHED AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD AND COMPLETELY BLINDED ME. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO SHOULDER. NO INJURIES. DAMAGE TO BODY OF CAR ONLY. NO ONE ELSE IN CAR. NO OTHER TRAFFIC NEARBY. I AM NOT THE OWNER, JUST THE DRIVER. VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR 1 YEAR AGO, AND IN THE PAST 2 DAYS (AT 86K MILES), IT HAS DIED AT A STOP A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES WHILE ON THE ROAD WHEN I CAME TO A STOP (3 TIMES IN 1/4 MILE, UPHILL - COULD NOT GET IT BACK INTO DRIVE, HAD 6 PEOPLE PUSH IT TO THE SIDE PARKING LOT). I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET IT STARTED TILL THE 6TH TRY IN THE PARKING LOT (HAD TO SWITCH TO NEUTRAL AND THEN TO DRIVE IN ORDER FOR IT TO NOT SHUT OFF). THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE MOST TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD DRIVING. I GOT THIS CAR BECAUSE IT HAD HIGH SAFETY RATINGS, WHAT A JOKE - WORST INVESTMENT OF MY LIFE!! I AM NOW $12K IN DEBT WITH A CAR THAT CAN'T EVEN GET ME FROM POINT A TO POINT B WITHOUT BREAKING DOWN.

I PURCHASED MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA (44K MILES) IN MAY 2015. I HAD NO ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE UNTIL I REACHED THE 50K MILE MARK IN JANUARY 2016. THE FIRST ISSUE STARTED WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD PUSH REALLY HARD DRIVING UP A HILL. THE NEXT ISSUE HAPPENED ON 5/2/16 WHEN I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN 'DRIVE' AND IT WENT FORWARD FOR A FEW SECONDS AND IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. TO BE CLEAR, IT WAS NOT THE BATTERY. EVERYTHING WORKED IN THE CAR EXCEPT ITS ABILITY TO ACTUALLY DRIVE. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 2 DAYS FOR INSPECTION. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND A THING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE; NO ERROR CODES OR DRIVING ISSUES WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS WITH THEM. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE BACK MY VEHICLE AND HOPE FOR THE BEST. HOWEVER, ON MAY 21, 2016, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AGAIN. I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BECAUSE IT SHUT OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I SAT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET FOR 20 MINS BEFORE THE VEHICLE DECIDED TO DRIVE AGAIN. I'M ALMOST SURE THAT IT IS THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS AS IF I'M NOT THE ONLY NISSAN OWNER WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE CVT TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO "GO OUT" AT THE 50K MILE MARK. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS VEHICLE CAN SHUT OFF WHILE IN USE AND THERE IS NO CODE OR TRAIL AS TO WHY. THE MOST DANGEROUS PART OF THIS EXPERIENCE IS THAT THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE IT IS BEING ACTIVELY DRIVEN. I USE THE FREEWAY TWICE A WEEK AND THERE WOULD LIFE-THREATENING EFFECTS IF THE VEHICLE SHUT

TAKATA RECALL - TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE OCS SYSTEM SOFTWARE UPDATED DUE TO THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD THAT THAT THE I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE OCS SENSORS IN ORDER FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS, TO WORK PROPERLY. DEALER SAID THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND SAID THAT IT WOULD COST $300. LEFT WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I HAD BEFORE, I WENT IN FOR THE SO CALLED SOFTWARE UPGRADE. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, CHANCES ARE THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, WILL NOT BE DEPLOYED!! WHY ARE THEY TRYING TO MAKE ME PAY FOR A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL??,

ONE OF MY OEM MICHELIN PRIMACY MXV4 215/55 R17 TIRES DEVELOPED LARGE OPEN CRACK ABOUT 1-1/5 TO 2" LONG IN SIDEWALL. JUST HAPPENED TO NOTICE THE CRACK WHEN WASHING THE CAR. TIRE WAS REMOVED AND IT WASS DETERMINED THAT THE CRACK WENT ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE SIDE WALL AND ONLY A THIN RUBBER MEMBRANE INSIDE THE TIRE WAS HOLDING IN THE AIR. A MAJOR BLOWOUT COULD HAVE OCCURRED AT ANY TIME. TIRES WERE ONLY 3 YEARS OLD WITH 43,000 MILES. THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR AIRBAG DEACTIVATION LIGHT FOR PASSENGER FRONT SEAT THAT WOULD TURN ON INTERMITTENTLY. AFTER RECALL WORK WAS COMPLETED, WE STILL EXPERIENCE THIS LIGHT TURNING ON INDICATING THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAGS ARE DEACTIVATED. THIS HAS TYPICALLY OCCURRED WHEN MY WIFE (135LBS) IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT BUT IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN I WAS IN THE SEAT AND I WEIGH 200LBS. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS.

MY GEAR SHIFT IS STUCK. EACH TIME I WANT TO DRIVE, I HAVE TO USE MY KEY TO PUSH IN THE MANUAL OVERRIDE FOR THE GEAR SHIFT. NOT SAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE HOOD DETACHED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO CONCRETE BARRICADES. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V565000 AND 16V029000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW YEAR 2013 IN 2014 I NOTICED A ROARING NOISE WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET AT SLOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. AROUND CHRISTMAS EVE I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE CAR DIED OUT ON ME ON THE STREET. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY DID THEIR DIAGNOSIS. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR 5 DAYS, THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR WHICH THEY SAID HAD INTERNAL PROBLEMS AND ALSO REPROGRAM THE SYSTEM OF THE COMPUTER OF THE CAR AT 29,326 MILES WHICH IS ODD TO ME BECAUSE IT WAS A NEWER CAR. SO NOW ITS 2016 AND I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK IN TO THE DEALER TODAY BECAUSE IT SEEMED AS THE WINDOWS WOULD ROLL DOWN SLOW, THE CAR WOULDNT ACCELERATE RIGHT AWAY WHEN PUSHING DOWN ON THE GAS (STALLING) AND IT WOULD SHAKE WHILE DRIVING OR AT A STOP, AND WHEN COMING TO A STOP IT WOULD JERK AS IF SOMEONE HIT MY REAR END. THEY DID THE DIAGNOSIS AND SAID THEY HAD TO REPROGRAM THE TRANSMISSION. SO I NOW BELIEVE THERE IS INTERNAL PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR WHICH IS PROBABLY GOING TO LEAD TO THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION TO GO ON ME. AND IT IS A MANUFACTURERS PROBLEM BECAUSE I SHOULDNT OF HAD ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THESE FOR A 2013 NOW AT 46,000 MILES

SHACKING AND UNABLE TO CONTROL AND NO ONE TILL THIS DAY??? WHY ? I'M SORRY BUT DODGE CHRYSLER NOR ANY DEALER SHIP HAS MY AIR BAG AND 98% OF PARTS IN STOCK... SO NOW WHAT??? I SPENT A LOT OF MUCH $$$$...

TAKATA RECALL - AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION AFTER THE ALTIMA HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN TO THE WALLACE DEALERSHIP IN STUART, FLORIDA FOR REPAIR.

OUR ALTIMA HAS BEEN SERVICED AT WALLACE NISSAN IN STUART, FLORIDA, DURING WHICH TIME WE MENTIONED THAT THE SEAT BELT WARNING CHIME DOES NOT CHIME ANY LONGER. WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE OUR CAR WAS NOT EQUIPPED WITH A SEAT BELT WARNING CHIME. NOTHING WAS INDICATED ON THE REPAIR SLIP THAT WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SEAT BELT CHIME. THE OWNER'S MANUAL INDICATES THAT IT DOES INDEED HAVE A SEAT BELT WARMING CHIME. IF WE FORGET TO FASTEN OUR SEAT BELT THERE IS NO WARNING THAT WE HAVE NOT DONE SO.

AIRBAG SENSOR DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, THE LIGHT TURNS ON WARNING THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN A PERSON IS BUCKLED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT I'VE NOTICED THIS ISSUE FOR OVER A YEAR. MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP IGNORED MY COMPLAINT A YEAR AGO WHEN I ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT IT.

WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL AUTOMATICALLY RETURNS TO THE OFF POSITION AFTER A RIGHT HAND TURN, THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL STARTS BLINKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. AFTER PERFORMING AN OIL CHANGE, THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC NOTICED WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. UPON INSPECTION, THE VEHICLE ERUPTED INTO FLAMES AND AN ABNORMAL BURNING ODOR WAS PRESENT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY WHERE IT WAS DEEMED DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 61,808.

WHILE DRIVING AT MERE 25 MPH, THE HOOD FLUNG OPEN AND RESTED PARALLEL TO THE WINDSHIELD. THIS UNNATURAL POSITION FOR THE HOOD AND THE PRESSURE IT EXERTED ON DRIVER/PASSENGER SIDE CORNERS OPENED THEM UP LIKE A CAN OPENER.

CVT TRANSMISSION RECALL. AT 74000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION UNEXPECTEDLY WENT OUT. CALLED NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND A MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY ISSUE. HE STATED THAT IT IS UNFORTUNATELY VERY COMMON. CAR JUDDERS WHILE IN DRIVE. INITIALLY STARTED WHOLE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

A/C DOES NOT COOLING, JUST HOT AIR.

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG "OFF" LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE WHEN A PASSENGER AROUND 130 LBS SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WHEN THIS OCCURS (ABOUT HALF OF THE TIME), THE LIGHT ILLUMINATES UPON ENGINE STARTUP AND THE PASSENGER IS SEATED. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE LIGHT TO TURN OFF IS TO SHUT OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT WITH THE PASSENGER STILL IN THE SEAT. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG "OFF" LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN I START THE CAR FIRST, AND THEN THE PASSENGER SITS IN THE SEAT. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THE LIGHT ILLUMINATE WHEN MY 5 LB WORK BAG IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND I TAKE A SHARP TURN AROUND A HIGHWAY RAMP (TURNING FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS). THIS ALL OCCURS EVEN AFTER THE CAR WAS RE-PROGRAMED UNDER RECALL 14V138000

DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE, I HEARD A NOISE BUT COULD NOT DISTINGUISH WHAT IT WAS OR WERE IT CAME FROM. THE NOISE EVENTUALLY GOT LOUDER AND AFTER APPLYING BRAKES IN TRAFFIC THE CAR STRUGGLED TO ENGAGE INTO DRIVE. I MADE IT OFF THE EXPRESSWAY TO A DEALERSHIP. UPON INSPECTION, THE BRAKE CALIPER CAME OFF AND WAS GRINDING INTO THE WHEEL.

MY ALMOST 14 YEAR OLD SON WHO IS 106 LBS. SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AS WELL AS A MALE FRIEND WHO IS 220. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINS "OFF" WHEN IT SHOULD BE ENGAGED. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY RESET IT AND MY SON MAY NOT BE "HEAVY ENOUGH". I AM VERY UPSET AT HOW THEY HANDLED IT (THEY DIDN'T) AND I CAN GUARANTEE IF THERE IS AN INCIDENT THAT HAPPENS AND THESE WERE DEFECTIVE, THERE WILL BE ISSUES. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR TO GET IT TO GO OFF. I AM NOT DOING THAT OR BUYING IT. I WAS TOLD THAT IF NISSAN DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM FOR THIS SPECIFIC YEAR AND MODEL, THAT THE RECALL WITH NOT BE COVERED. IT IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE. SECONDLY, I MADE AN APPT 3 WEEKS IN ADVANCE FOR MY HOOD LATCH TO BE REPAIRED TO ALLOW FOR THE PART TO GET IT. I DROVE 1.25 HRS TO GET IT REPLACED, SAT THERE FOR 2 HOURS TO BE TOLD THAT THEY WERE PUTTING IN IT AND THEN "DID NOT HAVE IT IN". THEY HAD ME TAKE A RENTAL CAR HOME "TO HAVE A SUPERVISOR LOOK AT MY AIRBAG" AS IT WAS OVER THE WEEKEND. I GOT A DISGUSTING CAR FOR 5 DAYS TO FIND OUT NOTHING HAD BEEN REPAIRED. I "NEED TO STOP IN WHEN I AM IN TOWN SOMETIME" TO GET MY HOOD LATCH REPLACED. REALLY???? I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO BILLION NISSAN IN SIOUX CITY. POOR SERVICE. I WOULD LIKE BOTH OF THESE ISSUES TAKEN CARE OF PROMPTLY. ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS!

I HAD MY 3 PENDING RECALLS REPAIRED THIS WEEK AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, YET ONE IS STILL LEFT ON THE SAFERCAR.GOV WEBSITE (EVEN THOUGH IT SHOWS NO RECALLS ON THE NISSAN WEBSITE) I CANNOT EXPORT MY CAR OVERSEAS UNTIL THE SITE HAS BEEN UPDATED. PLEASE ASSIST, THANK YOU. *TR

THIS COMPLAINT IS REGARDING THE NISSAN RECALL REF. 16V-029 RELATED TO THE HOOD LATCH ASSEMBLY. NISSAN SEEMS TO HAVE PUT IN PLACE A REPAIR PROCEDURE THAT IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT IS ADVERTISED IN THE RECALL LETTER. THIS PROCEDURE IS EXCESSIVELY BURDENSOME, REQUIRING THE VEHICLE OWNER TO SCHEDULE A FIRST APPOINTMENT TO INSPECT THE CAR, THEN A SECOND APPOINTMENT TO PERFORM THE ACTUAL REPAIR. THE RECALL LETTER ADVERTISES A SINGLE APPOINTMENT IS NEEDED TO PERFORM THE REPAIR, SO THIS PROCEDURE RUNS CONTRARY TO THE TEXT OF THE RECALL LETTER. THIS SEEMS TO BE KNOWN TO DEALERS AS: PC426 ALTIMA HOOD LATCH NTB16-011

LAST YEAR THERE WAS NHTSA RECALL 15V-681 WHICH RELATES TO THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS). THIS IS THE CONTROL UNIT THAT TURNS THE AIR BAG PROTECTION ON/OFF BASED ON THE SIZE OF THE PASSENGER... I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALER BUT THE ISSUE CONTINUES. SOME TIME LATER WHEN I ASKED THE SERVICE MAN ABOUT IT, THEY SAY THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND WANT TO CHARGE ME TO CHECK AND FIX THE OCS. WHICH IS PART OF THE NHTSA RECALL 15V-681 WHAT IS MY RECOURSE? I HAVE TWO KIDS, A 16 AND A 20 YEARS OLD. THE AIR BAG WILL BE TURNED ON OR OFF ON EITHER OF THEM RANDOMLY. IT ALMOST SEEMS THAT THE TEMPERATURE OF THE DAY HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT. ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE CAR IS THAT THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ON AFTER THE PEDAL HAS BEEN RELEASED AND THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN NORMALLY... AGAIN MY GUESS IS THAT IT SEEMS TO OCCURRED MORE WHEN IT IS COLD BUT IT IS INTERMITTENT. I HAVE TAKEN A VIDEO OF THE OCCURRENCE TO SHOW THE DEALER BUT THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT IT. I CANT SEND YOU THE VIDEO BECAUSE IT IS TOO BIG (MORE THAN 20MB) AND YOU ONLY ALLOWS A FILE NO BIGGER THAN 5 MB THE ISSUE IS STILL GOING ON BUT SINCE IT IS INTERMITTENT THE DATE BEFORE IS ONLY A REFERENCE

DASHBOARD CLUSTER WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. LOST SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER AND ALL OTHER GAUGES ETC. CAR ONLY HAD 55,000 MILES ON IT. I TURNED MY CAR ON AND STARTED DRIVING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, ON MY WAY TO THE NISSAN DEALER TO FIX OTHER RECALLS, WHEN IT WENT OUT. I PULLED OVER, RESTARTED MY CAR AND STILL NOTHING. HAD TO EXIT CAR TO SEE IF LIGHTS/BLINKERS WERE WORKING AND THEY STILL WERE, BUT NO SIGN FROM INSIDE THAT THEY WERE. DROVE TO DEALER WITHOUT SPEEDOMETER ETC FOR AN APPOINTMENT AT NISSAN DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING. NISSAN NOT EVEN WILLING TO ADMIT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. ABOUT A $878 REPAIR, WITH CAR JUST OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY OR MAKE ANY REIMBURSEMENT OF ANY TYPE. I TALKED WITH LAUREN AT 615.725.7907. SHE STATED THAT IF THERE IS A RECALL I CAN SUBMIT RECEIPTS AND THEY MAY REIMBURSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SLOWED INDEPENDENTLY TO 45 MPH. THE VEHICLE THEN INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED TO 65 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO SAFE MODE. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I HAVE HAD ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. THE YELLOW LIGHT ON THE THE DASH WILL SOMETIMES STAY ON, INDICATING THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS DISABLED, EVEN WITH A 150 LB ADULT SITTING PROPERLY IN THE SEAT. IF I PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART, IT USUALLY GOES OUT. I HAVE REPORTED THIS NUMEROUS TIMES TO THE DEALER (I ALSO HAVE PICTURES OF THE LIGHT STAYING ON), BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THEY CAN, BUT CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE REPORTED THIS TWICE ON THIS SITE (NHTSA), BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN SOLVED. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT BOTH NISSAN AND NHTSA DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE, AS MANY, MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM ON THIS SITE DURING THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. WHEN SOMEONE GETS KILLED BECAUSE THEIR PASSENGER AIRBAG FAILS TO WORK, MAYBE SOMETHING WILL GET DONE.
