2014 Nissan Altima complaints

MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE JUST GOTTEN SUPER DIM THAT I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW AND OVER TIME THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT PROJECTION DIMMED OVER TIME THAT I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I REPLACED THE BULB AND THAT DIDN'T WORK. I THEN UPGRADED TO LED LIGHTING AND THE LIGHTING PROJECTION IS STILL TO DIM TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I MENTIONED IT TO MY DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND CALLED NISSAN TO REPORT THIS AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS MATTER. MY CAR HAS 72,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR OVER 2 YEARS. HEADLIGHTS DON'T LIGHT UP NO MORE THAN 15 FT WHICH IS NO GOOD WHILE DRIVING AT 55MPH.

TAKATA RECALL WHILE STOPPED ON A BUSY STREET WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN, I WAS REAR-ENDED BY A LARGE SUV. MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND I SUFFERED SEVERE PAIN TO MY HEAD, NECK, SHOULDERS AND BACK. MY ALTIMA WAS LATER DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS AS A RESULT OF THE ACCIDENT.

THE VEHICLE CONTAINS DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS MADE BY THE TAKATA CORPORATION.

TAKATA RECALL

ACCORDING AIR BAG CLAIM DOCUMENTS MY VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH FAULTY TAKADA AIR BANGS. NO RECALL HAS BEEN RECEIVED.

TAKATA RECALL- I NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES THE 'AIRBAG' LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL BE ON AND NO ONE OR ANYTHING WOULD BE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.

TAKATA RECALL

THE AIRBAG'S LIGHT CAME ON SHOWING A DEFECT IN IT.

TAKATA RECALL

PRIOR TO TAKING MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA TO A NISSAN SERVICE CENTER FOR A SCHEDULED ROUTINE OIL & FILTER CHANGE, MY VEHICLE WAS RUNNING PERFECTLY. THE VERY NEXT DAY AFTER I HAD MY ROUTINE OIL & FILTER CHANGE ON MY VEHICLE, MY VEHICLE STARTED HESITATING IN FIRST GEAR AND IMMEDIATELY I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER THE SAME DAY OF THE OCCURRENCE AND I EXPLAINED TO THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER REPRESENTATIVE THAT MY VEHICLE STARTED HESITATING. (THE DAY AFTER I HAD A SCHEDULED ROUTINE OIL & FILTER CHANGE). WHEN THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER DIAGNOSED MY VEHICLE I WAS TOLD MY CVT TRANSMISSION INDICATING A BAD INTERNAL SENSOR WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY $3,800 DOLLARS TO REPAIR MY CVT TRANSMISSION. I EXPLAINED TO THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER REP. MY VEHICLE WAS JUST AT THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER YESTERDAY FOR A ROUTINE OIL & FILTER CHANGE AND THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS OR WARNING SIGNS ON MY DASHBOARD THAT WOULD INDICATE A PROBLEM WITH MY TRANSMISSION. IN ADDITION TO MY VEHICLE HESITATING IN FIRST GEAR IT ALSO APPEARED NOT TO CHANGE GEARS WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOLD THE NISSAN REP THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WANTED TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE WAS TO MUCH MONEY AND THE NISSAN REP STATED MY VEHICLE IS PASS THE WARRANTY LIMIT BECAUSE I HAVE 78,000 MILE AND MY LIMIT IS 60,000 MILES TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE SERVICE REP STATED THEY CAN HAVE A SALES REP CONTACT ME TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR IF I DID NOT WANT TO PAY FOR THE TRANSMISSION REPAIR. AFTE

ON 10/27/17, I HIT A DEER CROSSING THE ROAD HEAD ON AT 45 MPH AND NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.

PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR FAILS TO GO OFF WHEN A PASSENGER IS SITTING. NISSAN REFUSES TO ACCEPT THIS AS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL. THERE IS NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED YET BUT IT SHOULD BE REPORTED TO HENCE THIS COMPLAINT.

NISSAN'S 2014 ALTIMA CVT TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOT SAFE AND SHOULD BE TAKEN OUT OF THE CARS. I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW IN FEBRUARY OF 2014. 1) MY FIRST TRANSMISSION DIED NOV 2016 AFTER ONLY 50K MILES. I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD, IT KEPT DYING AS SOON AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR WAS STRANDED IN STREET UNTIL A TOW TRUCK CAME. 2) THE TRANSMISSION IT GOT REPLACED WITH DOES NOT DRIVE SMOOTHLY - IT JERKS, IT GOES TO HIGH RPM'S FOR NO REASON. WHEN I AM IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, IT SEEMS TO HAVE A MIND OF IT'S OWN: WHEN I AM BRAKING, I FEEL A PULL AS IF THE CAR DOES NOT WANT TO STOP. OR SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WILL FEEL LIKE IT'S REVVING HARDER THAN I NEED IT TO (UP TO 4-5K RPMS WHEN GOING UNDER 25MPH). 3) THIS TRANSMISSION HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES AT A RED LIGHT. I WILL TRY TO ACCELERATE, AND IT WON'T MOVE. IT FINALLY BEGINS TO GO AFTER 3-5 SECONDS OF STALLING. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL IT DIES COMPLETELY, AS MY PREVIOUS TRANSMISSION DID FOR THIS CAR. 4) I WAS CRUISING ON A SIDE STREET ONCE, GOING AROUND 40-45MPH, AND SUDDENLY THE RPM'S SHOOT UP TO 4-5 FOR NO REASON (USUALLY CRUISE BETWEEN 1-2). I PUT MY FOOT COMPLETELY OFF THE GAS, AND IT WOULD NOT STOP. IT FINALLY DID AFTER ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR- ANYTIME I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, I AM WONDERING IF MY CAR IS GOING TO DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TURN, AND IF I AM GOING TO GET T-BONED. I'VE COMPLAINED TO MY DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES (TWO DIFFE

VEHICLE WAS AT DEALER FOR OIL CHANGE, SERVICE ADVISED THAT "RECALL" CAMPAIGN PC4900 REPROGRAM TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS PERFORMED. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR 6 DAYS AND 447 MILES, IT DIED WHILE SITTING COMPLETELY STILL, IDLING IN TRAFFIC (IN "DRIVE"). THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED SO VIOLENTLY WHEN IT DIED, I THOUGHT THAT I HAD BEEN REAR-ENDED. THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART BUT DIED IMMEDIATELY UPON ANY ATTEMPT TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE. HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER, DIAGNOSIS WAS TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE. TOTAL TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. NEVER HAD ANY MECHANICAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR UNTIL NOW.

MY VEHICLE WAS IMPACTED IN LEFT SIDE, AIRBAGS ONLY APPEARS IN RIGHT SIDE. PEOPLE ON LEFT SIDE GET INJURED, VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IMPACTED BY A CAR WITHOUT BREAKS. (ACCIDENT OCCURRED IN SLP, MXICO).

IN AUGUST OF 2017 I WAS ABOUT TO PARK MY ALTIMA WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. EVENTUALLY, AFTER MANY ISSUES WITH A NISSAN SECURITY PLUS WARRANTY BAIT AND SWITCH ISSUE I GOT THE CVT TRANSMISSION REPLACED. I HAVE NOTICED EVEN ON THIS NEW TRANSMISSION IT STILL SHUDDERS AROUND 25 MPH FREQUENTLY.

MY BACK SEATS LEFT & RIGHT SEAT LATCHES ARE NOT CATCHING

"TAKATA RECALL" I GOT MY BRAKES DONE AT TO DIFFERENT REPAIR PLACES AND MY BRAKES ARE STILL SQUEEZING, SO I WENT BACK FOR THEM TO CHANGE MY ROTORS, BRAKES ARE STILL SQUEEZING. NOW WHEN I DRIVE I HEAR LOUD SQUEEZING AND MY BRAKES SOUNDS LIKE THEY DON'T WANT TO STOP.

MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2014 ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE DRIVING ON VA 286 INTERSTATE 66 W EXIT TOWARD FRONT ROYAL FOR MERGING ONTO I-66 W VIRGINIA. LUCKILY I GOT OUT SAFELY. I SAW SMOKE COME UP FROM UNDER THE HOOD SO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, SO I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE. THEN A FLAME CAME UP AND I RAN OUT OF THE CAR. WITHIN A MATTER OF SECONDS THE WHOLE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES AND IS DESTROYED 75% AND I HARDLY SAVED MY LIFE BUT LOST LAPTOP, MOBILES, BABY CAR SEAT, STROLLER AND OTHER PERSONAL STUFF. WE LOST OUR CAR WHICH COSTED US $22,000.00 EVEN ENGINE WAS UNDER 5 YEAR WARRANTY WHICH CAUSED A REASON OF FIRE BUT NISSAN IS NOT READY TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OF ITS PRODUCT EVEN THEIR PRODUCT WILL TAKE YOUR LIFE. WE STILL OWE TO BANK FOR NISSAN ALTIMA 2014. HELP US TO COVER A TOTAL LOSS FROM NISSAN. THIS STUFF SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING!! I DO NOT HAVE GAP INSURANCE EITHER. NISSAN SHOULD GIVE US NEW CAR AS A REPLACEMENT!!!!

I HAD THE FUEL PUMP CHANGE BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BECAUSE SOMEHOW ITS NOT GETTING POWER TO START MY CAR.

TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING FROM TAMPA, FL TO CHICAGO, IL. CAR DIED IN NORMAL, IL. HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, HAD TO GET A RENTAL CAR, WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD METAL FRAGMENTS IN IT AND THAT IT WOULD BE A WEEK TO GET A NEW ONE AND COST $4,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE TRUNK OF THE VEHICLE OPENED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRUNK LOCKED ON ITS OWN ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, AND COULD NOT BE OPENED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MASSAPEQUA NISSAN IN AMITYVILLE, NEW YORK, BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 248-072-49. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 28,000. UPDATED 11/06/17*LJ UPDATED 7/16/18*JB

THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES SEEM TO BRAKE VERY EASILY BECAUSE THEY ARE MADE OF PLASTIC THAT HOLDS THE CABLE IN PLACE. I'VE BEEN ON LINE AND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS HAPPENING. IT IS A SAFETY IF YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF YOUR CAR WITHOUT ROLLING DOWN YOUR WINDOW.WHAT IF YOU WERE TO GET IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND COULD NOT GET OUT OF YOUR CAR. I HAVE LESS THEN 18000 MILES ON MY CAR I GOT THE CAR BRAN NEW. THIS PROBABLY NEEDS TO BE FIXED. THANKS [XXX] .

2014 NISSAN ALTIMA S. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY CAR JUST STOPPED RUNNING ALMOST GOT HIT BY 2 CARS TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING WITH NO WARNINGS OF ANY KIND LOTS OF COMPLAINT S ON THIS TRANSMISSION ON THE INTERNET. VERY DANGEROUS. WE DONT HAVE MONEY TO PAY FOR IT. ONLY 3 YEARS OLS CAR. 60 THOUSAND MILES

MY CAR SHUT OFF ABRUPTLY WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY AND I ALMOST GOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. LUCKILY, IT WAS RUSH HOUR AND WE WERE ONLY GOING ABOUT 30MPH. I PUT THE CAR BACK IN PARK AND RESTARTED. ONCE RESTARTED, I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND WAS AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND I WAS THE FIRST CAR AT THE RED LIGHT. MY CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION DURING RUSH HOUR. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER AND IT'S A COMPLETE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE. STILL WAITING TO SEE IF NISSAN WILL COVER THE REPLACEMENT. THE CAR HAS 37K MILES AND IS STILL UNDER THE $60K POWER TRAIN WARRANTY.

CVT SHUDDERING AND JERKING 15-35 MILES STILL AFTER REPROGRAMING AT 52K MILES AIRBAG LIGHT IS STAYES ON AFTER BEING REPROGRAM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL CHARLESTON NISSAN DEALER LOCATED AT 1714 SAVANNAH HWY, CHARLESTON, SC 29407 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 42,000.

TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AFTER 52K MILES

CAR PURCHASED IN AUGUST 2014 JUST BARELY 3 YEARS OLD THE AC COMPRESSOR WENT OUT IN THE CAR AT THE END OF JULY 2017. DRIVING ON THE THE HIGHWAY NO NOISE THE AC STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR. TURNED THE AIR OFF AND REACHED MY DESTINATION PARKED THE CAR AND TURNED THE AIR BACK ON STARTED OUT COOL THEN RIGHT BACK TO HOT AIR TURNED THE THERMOMETER DOWN TO 60 NO CHANGE. HAD TO DRIVE BACK HOME WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN BUT NEVER HEARD ANY STRANGE NOISES WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN PARKED. TOOK THE CAR TO MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND BASED ON MY DESCRIPTION ALONE THE TECH SAID IT WAS THE AC COMPRESSOR AND SAID THAT THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS WITH THE AC IN THIS MODEL CAR AND QUOTED ME A PRICE OF $1300. HAD ANOTHER REPAIR TECH CHECK AND ALSO CONFIRMED THE COMPRESSOR WAS NOT WORKING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED, THIS TECH OUTSIDE OF NISSAN SAID THE SAME THING THE NISSAN TECH SAID ABOUT THIS MODEL VEHICLE HAVING AC COMPRESSOR PROBLEMS. THE CAR IS PRIMARILY DRIVEN TO WORK AND HOME WITH A FEW TRIPS WITHIN 600 MILES ROUND TRIP.

AFTER TAKING IN MY ALTIMA 2014 SV FOR A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG SENSORS, THE ISSUE DID NOT GO AWAY. THE ISSUE IS THAT THERE IS THAT ABOUT HALF THE TIMES A PASSENGER SITS NEXT TO THE DRIVER SEAT, THE AIRBAG SYSTEM DOES NOT DETECT THEM. I AM HAVING TO RESTART THE CAR FOR SECURITY PURPOSES IN CASE SOMETHING ENDS UP HAPPENING. I AM ALSO HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY AC SYSTEM. I REPLACED THE COMPRESSOR A YEAR AGO AND IT SEEMS TO BE FAILING AGAIN. AS A SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER I CAN SAFELY SAY THAT THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE WITH THEIR SOFTWARE. I HOPE THEY CAN FIX THIS SOON. THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).?*JB

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE CAR HAS LOST EXCELLERATION POWER. AFTER COMING TO A STOP, IT WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED WHILE HOLDING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT PICKED UP SPEED. MAKING A SOUND, LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS OUT OF GEAR. EACH TIME IT HAS DONE THIS, I HAVE PULLED OVER TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES. AFTER RESTARTING IT SEEMS TO DRIVE FINE, UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 75 THE VEHICLE LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE.. IN HEAVY TRAFFIC,I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD,AFTER SITTING FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES I DECIDED TO TRY AGAIN AND IT STARTED UP AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE OFF THE EXIT HAD IT CHECK AND WAS TOLD THEY WAS NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY A PROBLEM.. TOLD NISSAN SAID AT 30,000 MILES WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVER TIME WITHOUT WARNING

I HAVE A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA THAT IS NEARING THE END OF THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY; I TOOK MY CAR IN LAST WEEK FOR VEHICLE RECALLS AND EXPLAINED TO THEM THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING WITH WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I EXPLAINED HOW THE CAR WILL SHUDDER BETWEEN 10-25 MPH SPONTANEOUSLY AND THAT THERE WAS NO SUREFIRE WAY TO KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSING IT OR WHEN IT WOULD HAPPEN; I EXPLAINED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A HANDFUL OF OCCASIONS WHERE I AM AT A STOP AND PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL TO DRIVE AND THE CAR BARELY MOVES WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON AT LEAST TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS - ANOTHER INCIDENT THAT HAPPENS SPONTANEOUSLY; AND LASTLY, I EXPLAINED HOW THE RPM'S WILL REV AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD STICK. THE FIRST DAY THAT NISSAN HAD MY CAR, THEY SAID IT ACTED UP, BUT THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO DO IT AGAIN AND NO CODES CAME BACK TO REVEAL THE PROBLEM. AFTER DAY 2, THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO REGARDING THE ISSUES I COMPLAINED ABOUT. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP MY CAR, THE SERVICE MANAGER JEFF THIBODEAUX SAID HE BELIEVES IT IS MY TRANSMISSION AND WANTED TO REPLACE IT,BUT HE COULDN'T BECAUSE THERE IS NO CODE COMING BACK TO SHOW THE PROBLEM AND THEY COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO ACT UP AGAIN. I EXPLAINED MY CONCERNS ABOUT DRIVING THIS CAR, THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN AND HOW THE WARRANTY WAS ABOUT TO EXPIRE IN LESS THAN 500 MILES; HE SAID THEY HAVE IT DOCUMENTED IN THE SYSTEM AND IF SOMETHING HAPPENS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES, THEY WOULD "GO TO BAT" FOR ME

PASSENGERS AIRBAG SENSOR NOT PICKING UP WHEN THERE IS A PERSON IN THE SEAT NOT ALL THE TIME BUT PERIODICALLY.

TRANSMISSION FAILED AFTER THE CAR HAD 55000 MILES. THE PROBLEM COMMENCED WITH A NOTICEABLE SHUDDER AND JERK WHEN ACCELERATING AND BRAKING. THE CAR EVENTUALLY STOPPED ACCELERATING ALL TOGETHER. TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THIS ALTIMA MODEL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

WHEN I DRIVE DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND I GET NEAR A 18 WHEELERS MY CAR SHAKES REALLY HAD LIKE IF THE WIND IS GOING TO PICK UP MY CAR AND FLIP IT. IT WILL ALSO DO THE SAME THING IF IT IS WINDY OUTSIDE AND I FEEL LIKE IT PUSHES MY CAR ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY AND I FEEL LIKE I'M ABOUT TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY CAR

CAR WAS GOING 34MPH AT THE POINT OF IMPACT, NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED...THIS WAS BEFORE THE RECALL OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS: HOWEVER SEVERE DAMAGE DONE TO THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR AS WELL AND NO DEPLOYMENT OF ANY AIRBAG. ...UPDATED 07/11/17 *BF *JS

ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY CAR STARTED ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN, THEN SLOWING DOWN A LOT. AT ONE POINT I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY BC THE CAR JUST WOULDN'T ACCELERATE EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. WE STAYED THERE FOR A BIT WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK. THE CAR DECIDED TO WORK AGAIN TO WE SPED OUT OF THERE AND MADE IT HOME. THE NEXT DAY I CONTACTED NISSAN AND TOLD THEM THE SITUATION AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION AND TO TAKE IT I. TO A DEALERSHIP TO THE CAN SO A THING THEY CALL CVT REPROGRAMMING. SO I DID THE NEXT DAY. THE TOW TRUCK CAME AND PICKED IT UP, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SUPPOSEDLY THEY FIXED IT. SO I WENT TO GO PICK UP THE CAR, AND AT FIRST IT WAS FINE, IT WAS JERKING JUST A LITTLE BUT I FIGURED IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE REPROGRAMMING, THE CAR WAS STILL ADJUSTING. THEN I GOT TO MY FIRST STOP LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE THEN IS STARTED GOI G REALLY REALLY SLOW AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT ACCELERATED SO FAST IT WAS SCARY. I MADE IT ABOUT 10 MINS OUT WHEN I DECIDED IT NEEDED TO GO BACK BC IT WAS DEFINITELY NOT FIXED. ON THE WAY BACK I ALMOST GOT IN A TERRIFYING ACCIDENT AND ALMOST DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT. I WAS AT A STOP SIGN WAITING TO GO ONTO A 2 WAY STREET WITH NO OTHER STOP SIGHS. THE CAR WAS DOING JUST FINE SO I WENT FOR IT AND IN THE MIDDLE OF BOTH STREETS THE CAR SLOWED DOWN QUITE AGGRESSIVELY & THERE WERE 2 CARS HEADED TAPED ME ON FULL SPEED FROM OPPOSITE

WHILE DRIVING APPROX 65 MPH, WAS STARTLED BY LARGE BOOMING CRASH FROM ROOF OF MY CAR. UPON PULLING OVER AND EXAMINING IT WAS APPARENT THAT THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF A ROCK OR OTHER OBJECT HITTING THE SUNROOF, AND NO OTHER AUTOMOBILE HAD BEEN IN CLOSE ENOUGH PROXIMITY TO FLIP UP A ROCK OR OTHER OBJECT. DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THEY HAVE HAD A HANDFUL OF OTHER PEOPLE COME IN WITH UNEXPLAINED SHATTERING OF SUNROOFS.

PURCHASED 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA SL 11/5/2016 69,500 MILES FROM NISSAN DEALER BOURNE MA. CAR IN FOR D/S FRONT HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT AND TRANSMISSION REVVING RPM COMPLAINT ISSUE ON 11/10/2016 WHILE STILL UNDER 60-DAY/2500MI WARRANTY. PICKED UP VENICLE AND TOLD BY NISSAN SERVICE DEPT THAT "COULDNT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND THAT IS JUST HOW THE CVT WORKS". ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A REPROGRAMMING SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED BY NISSAN ON DEC 6 2016 REGARDING CVT TRANSMISSION. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. ON MAY 12, 2017 77,800 TRANSMISSION FAILS COMPLETELY WHILE IN MOTION ON A RURAL STATE ROAD AT 40MPH, SAME SYMPTOMS AS 11/10/2016 COMPLAINT WITH NO CEL OR WARNING LIGHTS ON INTERIOR DASH 165 MILES FROM HOME. CALL DEALER AND ASK THEM WHAT THEY PLAN TO DO AND TOLD "THAT IS ON YOUR DIME SINCE YOU DID NOT PURCHASE EXTENDED WARRANTY." CALL CLOSEST NISSAN DEALER SERVICE DEPT AND TOLD THEY CANNOT EVEN DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM FOR 10 BUSINESS DAYS SO CAR IS TOWED TO GARAGE OF CONTRACTOR ASSIGNED BY NISSAN SECURITY PLUS PROTECTION PLAN J&J AUTO. J&J AUTO DIAGNOSES VEHICLE AS HAVING TOTAL VALVE BODY FAILURE USING COMPUTER CODES FROM VEHICLE AND REAFFIRMING DIAGNOSIS WITH NISSAN. I AUTHORIZE A NEW NISSAN TRANSMISSION TO BE ORDERED FOR VEHICLE. CONTACT NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TOLD THEY WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR COSTS OF TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AND "YOU NEED TO JUST LEAVE THE CAR AT A NISSAN SERVICE DEPT AND WE WILL LOOK INTO IT." REFUSE TO INTERVENE WITH SELLING DEALERSHIP OR MAKE A REFERRAL AND APPOIN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE AT A STOP SIGN, THE CONTACT LOOKED BOTH WAYS. UPON ACCELERATING, A TRUCK CRASHED INTO THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITH EXTREME FORCE FOR THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. THE CURTAIN SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER'S LEFT EYE WAS DAMAGED, WHICH AFFECTED THE CORNEA, AND THE DRIVER ALSO SUSTAINED BRUISING ACROSS THE CHEST AND BACK PAINS. THE FRONT PASSENGER SUSTAINED BRUISING TO THE ARMS, CHEST, AND HIPS. THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER RECEIVED MEDICAL TREATMENT. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOWED THE VEHICLE TO A YARD. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED TO DETERMINE THE AIR BAG ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS LATER NOTIFIED OF THE CRASH. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

WHILE DRIVING HOME LAST NIGHT APPROX 35 MPH MY HOOD FLEW OPEN AND UNLATCHED AND IMPAIRED MY WINDSHIELD SIGNIFICANTLY AND VISIBILITY DRIVING WAS EXTREMELY IMPACTED. AS IT WAS LATE IN THE EVENING THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC DIRECTLY IN FRONT OR BEHIND ME. I WAS STARTLED TO SAY THE LEAST. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY NEGOTIATE TO SHOULDER OF ROAD AND ENGAGE HAZARD LIGHTS AND RESECURE THE HOOD. I WAS ON A CITY STREET AND MOVING STRAIGHT AND NOT TURNING THE VEHICLE. I WOULD HATE TO THINK A FAR WORSE OUTCOME IN HEAVY INTERSTATE TRAFFIC AT A HIGHER SPEED.

MY CAR SHUT DOWN MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING IT TO WORK. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO NISSAN AND FIND A WAY TO WORK. NISSAN SAID THEY REPROGRAMMED THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND DIDNT BOTHER TO TELL ME THERE WAS A RECALL. WHEN I GOT IT BACK IT WAS WORSE THAN WHEN I TOOK IT IN THE FIRST TIME. IT IS UNPROFESSIONAL AND DANGEROUS FOR THEM NOT TO TELL ME ABOUT THE RECALL.

VEHICLE IS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA 4 CYLINDER MOTOR. IT RECENTLY HAD THE TRANSMISSION RECALL, DISGUISED AS A "CAMPAIGN" PERFORMED. IT WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE. SINCE THEN, THE CAR UPSHIFTS WHILE DECELERATING, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STUMBLE & ALMOST STALL. IT IS SIMILAR TO THE TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKING UP & AFFECTING THE DRIVETRAIN. IF THE ENGINE STALLED, DRIVER WOULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE & MIGHT CRASH THE CAR. THE CAR IS IN MOTION WHEN IT HAPPENS ON A ROAD WHERE SPEEDS ARE ABOUT 50 MPH, WHICH IS ABOUT THE SPEED WE WERE DRIVING WHEN IT HAPPENED. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT OR IN MILD TURNS.

MY CVT TRANSMISSION IS HAVING MAJOR ISSUES AT THIS TIME. MY VEHICLE IS AT 84,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING HOME THROUGH TRAFFIC, ONCE I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T GO, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT TOOK OFF FAST. AFTER CONTINUING TO DRIVE IT STARTED REVVING VERY LOUD UNTIL I STOPPED AND CUT IT OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK AGGRESSIVELY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT SHE HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL SPARKLED AND THE OIL WAS CHANGED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INSIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION WAS GRINDING AND WOULD BREAK AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE IN GOOD FAITH HOWEVER, THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WOULD NEED TO PAY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS TOWARDS THE BUY BACK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE WITH A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER, THE AIR BAG SENSOR ILLUMINATED INDICATING THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WAS DEACTIVATED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,533.

2014 NISSAN ALTIMA S, 74,000 MILES. I SHIFTED THE CAR FROM PARK TO REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF PARKING SPACE, THE CAR SHUDDERED AND DIED. I AM VERY FORTUNATE THAT I WASN'T HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC AS THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD MY DAUGHTER STEER THE CAR WHILE I PUSHED IT OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. I TRIED SEVERAL MORE TIMES TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR, IT WOULD RUN FOR A FEW SECONDS AND DIE. THERE WERE NO PREVIOUS PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS AND NO ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER. IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH "TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE/ NEED TO REPLACE CVT UNIT/ FOUND NO DTC'S STORED/FOUND NOT TRANNY LEAKS/ PRINTED OFF TRANNY "A" AND "B" COUNTS JUST IN CASE" I HAVE READ OTHER REPORTS OF THESE ALTIMA'S COMPLETELY FAILING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF NISSAN'S DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. MY FAMILY WAS LUCKY. THE SITUATION COULD HAVE ENDED VERY BADLY IF THIS DEFECTIVE CAR HAD DIED IN TRAFFIC, CAUSING ME OR AN INNOCENT SERIOUS HARM. NOW, MY FAMILY IS FACING AN ALMOST $5000 DOLLAR REPAIR ON A THREE YEAR OLD CAR THAT I DON'T TRUST ANYMORE.

NISSAN HAS A RECALL ON THE CVT ON THE 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA, THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR SOME, BUT NOT ALL. I'VE EXPERIENCED MY VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND VERY STRONG JERKING, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TISCHER NISSAN IN LAUREL AND THE JERKING AND SHUTTING STOPPED AFTER THEY RESET THE CVT PER THE RECALL. HOWEVER, IT HAS STARTED AGAIN AND THEY'RE NOW STATING I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHARGES. THEY KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS PART, YET THEY WON'T BE ACCOUNTABLE. IT IS DANGEROUS AND VERY EXPENSIVE AND IT SHOULD BE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.
