2014 Nissan Altima complaints

ON 14 MARCH 2017, MY TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 50 MILES ON THE FREEWAY. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015 WITH ABOUT 30, 000 MILES ON IT. FROM DAY ONE, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AT VARIOUS TIMES BUT THE MECHANICS STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG AND NO WARMING WAS EVER ABLE TO BE FOUND. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE HALT THROWING ME FORWARD. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT TO SAFETY AND GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALER MATT BOWERS NISSAN LOCATED AT 13050 INTERSTATE 10 SERVICE RD. NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA 70128. THE CONTACT NUMBER IS (504)245-5900. PRIOR TO ARRIVING, I LEARNED THE VEHICLE HAD A RECALL DEALING WITH THE TRANSMISSION BUT NOT SPECIFICALLY WITH IT STALLING AND GOING OUT. ACCORDING TO ONLINE AND THE DEALER, NISSAN RECALLED WHATS CALLED A CVT WHICH RESETS THE TRANSMISSION. EVERY LAST ONE OF THE SERVICE MEN AUTOMATICALLY KNEW THE ISSUE WHEN I TOLD THEM IT STOOPED ON THE FREEWAY. ONE GENTLEMAN EVEN STATED HE WOULDN'T EVEN PURCHASE ONE FOR HIS DAUGHTER OR HIS WIFE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ASSUMING NISSAN NAME WAS STILL GOOD. THERE ARE REPORTS OF TRANSMISSION GOING OUT WITH 10, AND 30 THOUSAND MILES. MY HOOD ALSO POOPED OPEN WHILE ON THE FREE AND CRACKED MY WINDSHIED A FEW WEEKS AGO. I LEARNED TODAY THERE IS A RECALL ON THE HOOD. THE BACK DOOR CAME OPEN WHILE MY GRANDKIDS WERE IN THE BACK. IT TOOK ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO GET THE REAR DOOR TO CLOSE. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN TOYOTA BY KEEPING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE PROGRESSING FROM THE REAR BRAKES, WHICH WORSENED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO ENSURE THAT THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE DEALER COMPLETED A MULTI-POINT INSPECTION, OIL CHANGE, RESURFACED THE ROTORS, AND REPLACED THE REAR BRAKE PADS. THE FAILURE RECURRED SIX MONTHS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 08/04/17*LJ *CN

FIRST TIME THIS HAPPEN I WAS AT A LIGHT AND THE CAR JUST CUT OFF. STARTED BACK UP PUT IN DRIVE STALLS OUT WHEN IN DRIVE. TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THE NEXT DAY IT'S THE TRANSMISSION IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AT THIS TIME THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR TWO WEEKS TELLING ME THEY WAITING ON A APPROVAL FROM NISSAN TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. FINALLY I GET A CALL WITHIN THAT LAST WEEK THE CAR IS READY WHEN I GET UP TO NISSAN THEY TELL ME THAT THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED AND THAT THEY DROVE THE CAR TO MAKE SURE THAT IT DIDN'T STALL OUT AGAIN AT THIS TIME THE CAR HAD AT THIS TIME MY CAR HAS 53,000 MILES WHEN ALL THIS HAPPENED NOW MY 60000 MILE WARRANTY IS UP I HAVE 63,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT STALLED OUT AT ME AT WORK. THE CAR STARTS UP FINE BUT AS SOON AS YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE IT MAKES A WHINING NOISE AND RUMBLING NOISE AND FINALLY GET A CUT OFF ALSO THE CAR WHEN IT DON'T STALL IT DON'T GO IN REVERSE OR DON'T DRIVE FORWARD.

AT SLOW SPEEDS, THERE IS A WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE CAR. DEALER SAID IT IS NORMAL AS IT IS A NEW ELECTRIC STEERING PUMP AND NOT THE OLD BELT SYSTEM. THE PROBLEM IS CONTINUOUS AND HAS NOT STOPPED.

THE LIGHT INDICATING A PERSON IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT DOES NOT OPERATE ALL THE TIME. THE DEALER HAS PROGRAMED IT TWICE. THE DEALER IS FRUSTRATED AS THEY HAVE SEVERAL OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER ASKED ME TO CONTACT NISSAN DIRECTLY WHICH I DID. I WAS TOLD TODAY BY A SPECIALISTS FROM NISSAN THAT I HAVE TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN WHEN IT IS DOING IT, I EXPLAINED IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE DEALER. SHE INFORMED ME THIS WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE THAT I HAVE TO BRING IT IN WHEN IT IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. I GUESS SHE COULD NOT COMPREHEND THE FACT THAT IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, MOST LIKELY DUE TO A FAULTY T PASSENGER SIDE SENSOR IN THE SEAT. THE PASSENGER WEIGHTS IS AROUND 120 POUNDS SO SHE IS HEAVY ENOUGH FOR THE SENSOR TO PICKUP HER WEIGHT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAG MIGHT NOT DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT. MOST OF THE TIME WHEN THE VEHICLE LIGHTS ACTS UP IS WHEN WE FIRST START OUT. THERE IS NO SET PATTERN TO CREATE THIS PROBLEM, MIGHT BE OK FOR A WEEK OR TWO THEN COULD DO IT TWO OR THREE DAYS IN A ROW AND MAYBE GO OUT BY IT SELF. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, MAYBE CLOSE TO A YEAR.

TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED ON VEHICLE AT 63000 MILES. THE CAR BEGAN JERKING AND STUTTERING WHEN IN MOTION AND ALSO WOULD NOT RESPOND TO GEAR CHANGE WHEN MOV8NG OUT OF PARK. IT WOULD JUST SIT FOR MINUTES BEFORE MOVING SLOWLY OR JUMPING VIOLENTLY WHEN SWITCHING GEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND STALLED SEVERAL MORE TIMES AS THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

RECEIVED THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 UPDATE FOR OCS ERROR ON PASSENGER AIRBAG. I HAD SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT REGARDING THIS AFTER NISSAN'S PREVIOUS UPDATE DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS STILL NOT RESOLVED. AFTER 2 MONTHS OF USE I AM SEEING THAT WHEN MY WIFE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT NOTIFYING ME THAT THERE IS NO PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT STAYS ON STILL. I CAN 'RESET' BY TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING IT BUT CAN NOT BE POSITIVE THAT THE VEHICLE IS ACTUALLY 'SEEING' THE PASSENGER. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY BIG ISSUE WITH NISSAN AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT RESOLVED. I HAVE NOT TALKED WITH THEM SINCE WHEN I DO THE ANSWER I'VE PREVIOUSLY GOTTEN IS "WE'VE COMPLETED THE UPDATE AND DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S NOT WORKING FOR YOU" BRING IT IN AND WE'LL LOOK - TO NO AVAIL. SO I PREFER NOT TO LET THEM PLAY AROUND SINCE RESETTING THE COMPUTER DOES NOTHING.

THE CAR STEERING WHEEL PUMP MAKES A WHINING NOISE WHICH CAN BE HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR. THE NOISE IS SO IRRITATING THAT IT CAN OUT ANYONE HAVE A VERTIGO. YET TWO NISSAN DEALERSHIPS SAY THIS IS NORMAL, AND REFUSE TO ACCEPT IT. SOME ALTIMAS HAVE THE NOISE ASND SOME DO NOT. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT NISSAN (THE COMPANY) AND NISSAN DEALERSHIPS ARE COLLUDING AND DON'T WANT TO MAKE THIS EXPENSIVE RECALL. THIS WILL MAY LEAD TO DRIVERS HAVING ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE HIGHLY ANNOYING NOISE

I PURCHASED VEHICLE IN 2014 AND I HAVE HAD ALL REQUIRED MAINTENANCE PERFORMED. I'M NOT AT 71K MILES AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ABRUPT JERKING WHILE DRIVING. NISSAN HAS A RECALL TO REPROGRAM THE CVT. HOWEVER, THEY OFFERED EXTENDED WARRANTIES TO FEW CUSTOMERS AND NOT ALL OF US. THIS IS AN ONGOING COMPLAINT REGARDING THE CVT AND THE ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY CONSUMERS HAVE PAID...NOT TO MENTION THE INEVITABLE SAFETY RISK. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE AND NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON MONDAY REGARDING THE RECALL...WHICH THEY DID NOT INFORM ME ABOUT UNTIL I CALLED ABOUT MY CAR 2 DAYS AGO. NOT TO MENTION ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG, THAT I FOUND OUT ABOUT ONLINE. THEY ARE NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS AT ALL.

DURING DRIVING THE VEHICLE JERKS AS IF IT'S GOING TO CUT OFF. IT HAS ACTUALLY CUT OFF A FEW TIMES WHILE IN TRAFFIC. NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY OF SOME OF THE SAME VEHICLE, BUT NOT ALL...EVEN THOUGH IT'S A CONTINUOUS ISSUE. THEY SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SALE CARS THAT THEY KNOW HAVE THESE PROBLEMS, LEAVING THE CONSUMER RESPONSIBLE FOR EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. MY VEHICLE HAS 71K MILES AND I UPKEEP WITH ALL MAINTENANCE. *TR

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE OF THE DRIVER'S DOOR ABRUPTLY STOPPED WORKING IN THE MORNING WHILE OUT RUNNING ERRANDS. I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE THEN ATTEMPTED TO EXIT BUT THE DOOR HANDLE WOULD NOT OPEN THE CAR DOOR. I FEARED I WOULD BE TRAPPED INSIDE THE CAR. I MANAGED TO CLIMB OVER THE CONSOLE AND EXIT THROUGH THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. I HAVE SPOKEN TO A SERVICE TECH AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND HE INFORMED ME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES AS WELL. HE FURTHER STATED IT WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $1,000 OUT OF MY OWN POCKET TO REPAIR THE HANDLE. THIS IS A PRODUCT LIABILITY ISSUE WHICH CLEARLY PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD.

PASSENGERS SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON WHEN SOMEONE IS IN THE SEAT. WE HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WE VIDEOED IT AND SHOWED IT TO THEM AND I HAVE CALLED NISSAN MISS [XXX] DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR IT. [XXX] ALSO SAID IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL AND THEY I WILL HAVE TO PAY. I JUST CHECKED THE WEB AND FOUND OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. I JUST PAID 646.00 TO GET IT FIXED AND THE LIGHT IS ON. THE LIGHT STAYS ON GOING DOWN THE ROAD HIGHWAY OR CITY DRIVING. SITTING STILL OR MOVING. OH BY THE WAY DID I MENTION MY DAUGHTERS 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. [XXX] AT NISSAN ALSO BLEW HER OFF. IS THERE ANY REMEDY TO THIS PROBLEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS TO MY DEALER REGARDING MY CAR IS THE 'STUTTERING OR JUTTING' OF MY VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING - AT TIMES ALMOST VIOLENTLY. THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN REPLACED ONCE WITHIN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. ON DECEMBER 29, 2016 WHILE TRAVELING FROM MO TO IL, WHILE ON I-44 TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH UPHILL WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER TO THE TRANSMISSION WOULD BE THE BEST WAY I WOULD DESCRIBE IT. THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED REVVING TO OVER 6,000 RPMS, THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT REACT, IT WAS IF THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS REVVING THE ENGINE. THE LOSS OF ABILITY TO CONTROL THE CARS SPEED WHILE GOING UPHILL ON THE EXPRESSWAY PUT US IN SERIOUS DANGER. WE WERE ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR WAS PUT INTO 'PARK' WE WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES BUT DUE TO OUR LOCATION ON THE EXPRESSWAY SHOULDER WE KNEW WE NEEDED TO GET INTO A BETTER SIGHT OF ONCOMING VEHICLES, IT SEEMED AS IF THEY DIDN'T SEE US UNTIL THEY WERE RIGHT NEAR US, MANY TRUCKS WERE UNABLE TO MOVE OVER ON SHORT NOTICE SO WHEN THEY PASTED US AT 70+ MILES THE ENTIRE CAR SHOOK. WHEN RESTARTING THE VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTO EITHER 'DRIVE' OR 'REVERSE'. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CALLED, DUE TO HEAVY VOLUME THEY COULD NOT GET TO US FOR AT LEAST 1 1/2 HOURS, THEY DEEMED THE SITUATION DANGEROUS AND THE MISSOURI STATE HIGHWAY PATROL WAS CALLED. WHEN THEY ARRIVED APPROXIMATELY 1/2 HOUR LATER THE CAR WOULD GO INTO DRIVE, BUT WITH EXTREME JERKING AND CONSTANT

I WORK IN CAR LEASING AND ACTUALLY THINK THE INFORMATION ON THIS WEBSITE'S DATABASE IS WRONG, JUST FLAGGING THIS ISSUE. THIS VIN AND MANY OTHERS FOR OTHER ALTIMAS SAYS NO REMEDY BUT WHEN YOU GO TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY ARE ABLE TO SOLVE RECALL R1609. OTHER ALTIMA VINS WITH THIS SAME RECALL ALSO HAVE A DIFFERENT STATUS SAYING THERE IS A SOLUTION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE HOOD FLEW OPEN WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE HOOD PANEL WAS DAMAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V565000 (HOOD/LATCH). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN MY 2014 ALTIMA, THE SYMPTOMS ARE WHILE SITTING AT A STOP AND ENGINE IDLING AT A NORMAL RPM IN DRIVE THE CAR WILL AT RANDOM BEGIN TO LURCH FORWARD RPMS WILL FLUCTUATE AND AT TIMES ENGINE WILL DIE. AFTER THE ENGINE DIES AT TIMES RESTART IS DIFFICULT AND MAY TAKE TWO OF THREE ATTEMPTS BEFORE THE CAR (ENGINE/TRANSMISSION) WILL FUNCTION PROPERLY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE AND THEREFORE (THIS IS MY OPINION) THERE IS NO PROBLEM. WITH ONLY 10,000 MILES LEFT ON MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, I FEEL THAT NISSAN HAS PUT ME BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE, IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST NISSAN. *TR

ENGINE SHOULD'VE SHUT OFF OR GIVE WARNING SIGN THAT OIL FROM THE OIL FILLER CAME OUT ANDSPLATTERED ALL OVER ENGINE CAUSING A ENGINE FIRE WHICH COULD'VE INJURED OR KILLED SOMEONE THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE SOMEONE MUST'VE LEFT THE OIL FILLER CAP OFF OR DIDN'T TIGHTEN CAP,ALL MECHANICS TOLD ME THE CAR SHOULD'VE SHUT OFF OR WARNING LIGHT SHOULD'VE CAME ON. ALSO THE LOCATION OF OIL FILLER IS IN A BAD SPOT IT'S ON THE MIDDLE OF THE ENGINE WITH LOTS OF PLASTIC COVERS OVER ENGINE,MOST ENGINES THE OIL FILLER IS ON SIDE OF ENGINE SO OIL DOESN'T SPILL ON TOP OF ENGINE .THE ENGINE IS A 2.5 LITER ENGINE .THE ENGINE RUNS VERY HOT AND WITH ALL THE PLASTIC PARTS AND ANY OIL SPILLING IT CAN EASILY CATCH FIRE .I THINK NISSAN SHOULD INSTALL A OIL FILLER CAP SENSOR TO AVOID POTENTIAL ENGINE FIRES.CAR IS BEING REPAIRED NOW FROM INSURANCE CLAIM BUT NISSAN REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ANY FINCANCIAL OFFER OR A REPLACEMENT CAR,SINCE I BROUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW 6 MONTHS AGO .I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS,A SIMPLE FIX LIKE A OIL CAP SENSOR COULD PREVENT FIRES AND SAVE LIVES

YOU ARE STILL LIST IT AS "RECALL INCOMPLETE". FOR HOOD. WHEN I CALLED I WAS INFORMED IT WAS FIXED BY PREVIOUS OWNER. SO IT SHOULD BE COMPLETED. DATE CALLED AROUND OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER 2016. 9/10/2016? SO YOU NEED TO VERIFY THIS AND MAKE CORRECTIONS ACCORDINGLY. I DON'T SEE RECALL FOR AIRBAGS FOR THIS VEHICLE.

HOOD RELEASED WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LEAVE THE ROADWAY.

NISSAN ISSUED RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR THAT DISENGAGES THE AIRBAG WHEN A GROWN ADULT IS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. MY CAR WAS RECALLED AND "SUPPOSEDLY" FIXED, BUT TWO SEPARATE INCIDENCES HAVE OCCURRED WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT INDICATING THE AIRBAG IS OFF WHEN A PERSON IS SEATED THERE HAS OCCURRED. THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED FULLY WITH NISSAN'S WARRANTY FIX AND NISSAN IS LOOKING INTO MY CAR FURTHER ON HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND MANY OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS ISSUE OCCURRING AFTER THE SO CALLED "FIX" PERFORMED BY NISSAN. LINK BELOW: HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NISSAN/ALTIMA/2014/SEAT_BELTS_AIR_BAGS/AIR_BAGS.SHTML THIS IS A CONSUMER SAFETY ISSUE WITH NOT HAVING A PROPERLY FUNCTIONING AIRBAG.

HOOD LATCH CAME UNDONE WHILE DRIVING CAUSING HOOD TO FLY OPEN ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. DAMAGE TO HOOD AND BOTH FRONT FENDERS....UPDATED 03/01/17 *BF BOTH RECALLS WERE REMEDIED UPDATED 7/6/18*JB *TR

CVT TRANSMISSION. I WAS AT THE INTERSECTION OF PAGE AVE AND SEVEN UP DRIVE IN OVERLAND, MO, AND MY CAR STOPPED. I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND PARK THE CAR IN DRIVE AND IT ROLLED BACKWARDS. I PUT THE CAR BACK IN PARK, PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS, AND CALLED ROADSIDE SERVICE. MY DAUGHTER (7YRS) AND I WERE TERRIFIED. CARS WERE A FEW 100 FEET FROM HITTING US. I WAS CONSTANTLY WAVING CARS TO GO AROUND MY CAR. THE OVERLAND POLICE FINALLY ARRIVED (1 HOUR LATER) AND PUSHED MY CAR TO A SAFER LOCATION SO IT COULD BE TOWED. MY CAR WAS LATER TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT MY CVT (TRANSMISSION) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

RADIO/NAVIGATION REBOOTS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WHOLE SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN--NO RADIO. SOMETIMES WHEN I START THE CAR, THE RADIO BUTTONS ARE DIM/GRAYED OUT AND THE RADIO DOESN'T PLAY.

WINDSHIELD HAS SCRATCHES THAT MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. TOOK CAR TO DEALER TO CLAIM UNDER 3-YEAR "BUMPER-TO-BUMPER" WARRANTY & EXTENDED SERVICE CONTRACT THAT DEALER CLAIMED AT TIME OF PURCHASE WOULD COVER ALL PROBLEMS. DEALER CLAIMED THIS ISSUE IS NOT COVERED UNDER EITHER WARRANTY. WARRANTIES ARE TOTALLY BOGUS.

HAVE HAD 2 FACTORY RECALLS FOR PASS. SIDE AIRBAG NOT BEING ACTIVATED WITH PASS. IN THE SEAT. STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM SOMETIMES. THE DEALER STATED I WOULD BE CHARGED IF THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS. THANK GOODNESS WE HAVE NOT BEEN IN A ACCIDENT THAT NEEDED THE USE OF THE PASS. AIRBAG WHEN IT WAS DEACTIVATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS).

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON FOR THE FOURTH TIME SINCE NEW. (TODAYS DATE 09/26/2016) THE FIRST TWO TIMES, NISSAN RESET IT AND CONVENIENTLY DIDN'T MAKE A RECORD OF IT IN THE REPAIR HISTORY WHILE IT WAS IN WARRANTY. I TOOK IT IN A FEW WEEKS AGO BECAUSE THE LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN, THEY SAID IT WAS A LOOSE CONNECTION UNDER THE SEAT CAUSED BY A BOX OF KLEENEX, WHICH I THINK IS NOT TRUE. LAST WEEK THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN WITH NOTHING UNDER THE SEAT. THIS TIME, THEY SAID I NEED A NEW AIRBAG AT A COST OF $1100, CLAIMING I NEVER BROUGHT IT IN FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT BECAUSE MY CAR NOW HAS 70K MILES ON IT, NEVER-MIND IT IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT THIS CLEAR AND OBVIOUS DEFECT CAUSES A SIGNIFICANT RISK TO THE OCCUPANTS BECAUSE IT PREVENTS ANY OF THE AIRBAGS FROM DEPLOYING IN AN ACCIDENT. I CANNOT AFFORD TO SPEND OVER $1000 ON A PART THAT SHOULD NEVER GO BAD ON A CAR THAT IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. FYI: THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON EVERY TIME AND EVERY TIME IT CAME ON THERE WAS NOBODY IN THE BACK SEAT, NOR WAS THE SEAT BEING ADJUSTED OR WAS ANYTHING INTERFERING WITH THE PLUG, AS NISSAN TRIES TO CLAIM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, BOTH SIDES OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WERE STRUCK WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE RAN A STOP SIGN. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE TWO INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. UPDATED 12/13/16*LJ

RANDOMLY THIS OCCURS, WHEN SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THE AIR BAG SIGN FOR THAT SEAT WILL SAY OFF. ON OUR LAST TRIP WE LEFT A STOP AND ENTERED THE HIGHWAY BUT THE LIGHT STAYED ON INDICATING THE AIR BAG WAS NOT ACTIVATED. WE HAD TO DRIVE LIKE THAT UNTIL WE COULD SAFELY STOP. WE THEN TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN, AND THIS TIME THE AIR BAG OFF LIGHT DID NOT STAY LIT. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER 6 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR IS THERE THE ONLY THING THEY SAY THEY CAN DO IS A ZERO POINT RESET ON OCS SYSTEM. THAT HAS NOT STOPPED THIS ISSUE FROM REOCCURRING. WE HAVE PHONED BERGSTROM OF OSHKOSH 5 DAYS THIS WEEK, THEY DO NOT RETURN OUR CALL. THE LAST DIAGNOSIS STATES ELECTRICAL, HOWEVER, TONY THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD US THE LAST TIME WE WERE THEIR THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO THROW MONEY AT THE CAR IT COULD BE A SENSOR, ELECTRICAL, THE AIR BAG SYSTEM OR THE SEAT. BECAUSE THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHEN WE ARE THERE THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO FIX, SO CHOOSE TO DO NOTHING. THE RECALL ON THE CAR WAS DONE 5/26/16. HOWEVER WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE SERVICE ADVISOR HAS REPEATEDLY SAID IT IS BECAUSE THE PASSENGER IS NOT SITTING ON THE SEAT CORRECTLY, HOWEVER THE LAST TIME IT OCCURRED THE PASSENGER WAS SITTING IN THE SAME POSITION WHEN THE AIR BAG WAS OFF AS SHE WAS WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. OUR WARRANTY WILL RUN OUT SOON. WE PHONED NISSAN AND THE

HAD PROBLEMS SHIFTING CAR INTO GEAR (FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE) AND MY VEHICLE HAS HORRIBLE ACCELERATION. ONCE IT WAS GOING IT WOULD GO, BUT STOP TO STARTING WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE AN INFANT! MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 2 WEEKS A MECHANIC AND NOW DEALERSHIP AND I AM STILL NOT IN MY VEHICLE! NISSAN NEEDS TO INFORM CONSUMERS OF FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK AT 3 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO PARK AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STARTED, BUT QUICKLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE STARTED NORMALLY THE THIRD TIME; HOWEVER, IT SHUT OFF AGAIN WHEN APPROACHING A STOP AT LOW SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED FIVE MORE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,417.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. THE CONTACT DID NOT RECALL THE DETAILS OF THE CRASH. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED NECK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND DESTROYED. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE WITH MY TODDLER IN CAR, I CAME TO STOP LIGHT, THE CAR SHUTTERED FORWARD AND THEN SHUT OFF. RESTARTED CAR AND WHEN PLACED IN GEAR, CAR IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF AGAIN. WAITED FOR 25 SECONDS AND RESTARTED CAR TO DRIVE HOME. NEXT DAY, CAR CONTINUED SAME BEHAVIOR MORE OFTEN HOWEVER IT TOOK LONGER AND LONGER TO GET THE CAR TO REMAIN ON AND I HAD TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL EVERY TIME I STOPPED. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THE CAR WOULD NOT PRODUCE ANY DIAGNOSTIC CODES. THE CAR SHUT OFF WHEN THE TECH ATTEMPTED TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY ON THE FIRST TEST DRIVE. THEY ALLOWED THE CAR TO COOL AND ATTEMPTED A SECOND TEST DRIVE BUT WERE UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE PARKING LOT. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 48,900 MILES, PURCHASED WITH BRAND NEW IN 2014 AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE SENSOR FOR THE CAMSHAFT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP ON 12/31/13. THIS VEHICLE IS 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS HAD A MINIMUM OF 2 RECALLS ON IT SINCE I HAD IT. I WOULD DRIVE THE CAR NEARLY ALL DAY (NO MORE THAN 50 MILES PER DAY) AND SUDDENLY ONCE I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION AND WAS ABOUT TO CROSS IT, THE CAR ENGINE SHUT DOWN. I COULD HEAR THE RADIO. NOTE: MY TODDLER CHILD WAS WITH ME. I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES BUT AS SOON AS I PUT IT IN THE DRIVE GEAR, IT WOULD SHUT OFF AGAIN. I HAD TO SIT TO THE STOP SIGN WITH TRAFFIC APPROACHING FOR NEARLY 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE CAR WOULD ALLOW ME TO START AND PUT IT IN GEAR TO DRIVE IT HOME. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME A FULL DIAGNOSIS AS THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE COOLED. I HAD NO WAY HOME AS I LIVE OUTSIDE OF THE DEALERSHIP'S SHUTTLE RADIUS AND WAS OFFERED A RENTAL CAR BUT I HAD TO PAY FOR IT. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TRUST THAT I WOULD MAKE IT BACK HOME WITH IT. I DID MAKE IT HOME BUT IT SHUT OFF IN THE YARD. I HAD IT TOWED A FEW DAYS LATER TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER TESTING AND IT WAS REVEALED TO ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. I AM BOTHERED BY THIS BECAUSE THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES AND IS 2 YEARS OLD. ALSO, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND MY CHILD AS IT COULD HAVE SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION IN WHICH WE WERE CROSSING.

MY ALTIMA WAS UNDER RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON DASH. HAD IT TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THE LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN SOMEONE IS IN PASSEMGER SEAT. AND WE'RE DRIVING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE UNDERCOVER SEPARATED WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH. THE CONTACT HEARD A NOISE UNDER THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE BOLTS USED TO SECURE THE ENGINE COVER WERE MADE OF DEFECTIVE PLASTIC, WHICH FAILED TO SECURE THE COVER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE ENGINE UNDERCOVER WAS NOT REPLACED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

MY CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 43,000 MILES.I'M HAVING A HARD TIME KEEPING THE CAR IN MY LANE OF TRAFFIC. THE CAR WAS PULLING HARD TO THE LEFT, REQUIRING ME TO STEER TO THE RIGHT .. CAR NEEDS TO BE CONSTANTLY CORRECTED TO STAY INSIDE THE LANE EVEN WHEN DRIVING STRAIGH. IF YOU ARE IN A CROSSWIND OR BEHIND A TRUCK, THE VEHICLE DRIFTS HORRIBLY TOO. YOU MUST HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP CORRECTING TO STAY IN YOUR LANE! I TOOK MY CAR TO DO AN ALIGNMENT TWO TIMES AND STILL THE SAME I CHANGE TIRES AND RIMS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM THERE IS ALOT OF COMPLAINS ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

THERE WAS RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE NHTSA RECALL 16V-244. IT WAS ABOUT THE OCS. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CREST NISSAN OF FRISCO 6600 STATE HWY 121, FRISCO, TX 75034 ON 14 JUNE 2016. ACCORDING TO THE INVOICE GIVEN TO ME BY THE DEALER THE OCS UNIT WAS REPROGRAMMED. ON 9 AUG 16 I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE SAME DEALER BECAUSE THE SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ON CONTINUOUSLY. BUT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT AT CREST NISSAN OF FRISCO TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, THIS LIGHT IS SUPPOSED TO STAY ON UNLESS THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT . OWNER'S MANUAL ON PAGE 1-57 CLEARLY MENTIONS THAT " IF THE SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ON AFTER APPROXIMATELY 7 SECONDS, UNDER THIS CONDITION, THE FRONT AIR BAG, SIDE AIR BAG AND CURTAIN AIR BAG OR PRETENSIONER SYSTEMS MAY NOT OPERATE PROPERLY". THE DEALER HAS NOT ONLY FAILED TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM BUT ALSO LIED TO ME ABOUT THIS TECHNICAL AND A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS PROBLEM. IT COULD MEAN THAT THE FRONT AIR BAG, SIDE AIR BAG, CURTAIN AIR BAG AND/OR PRETENSIONER SYSTEMS WILL NOT OPERATE IN AN ACCIDENT.

I PARKED THE CAR ON A SLIGHT INCLINE, PLACED THE SHIFTER IN PARK AND STEPPED ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I EXITED THE VEHICLE, LEFT THE DRIVER DOOR OPEN. I OPENED THE LEFT REAR DOOR, REMOVED MY DOG AND CLOSED THE DOOR. I LOOKED UP JUST IN TIME AS I WAS STRUCK BY THE OPEN FRONT DOOR OF MY CAR, KNOCKED TO THE GROUND AND IT ROLLED OVER MY LEG. IT ROLLED FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 FEET AND STRUCK A TREE.

HOOD RELEASED AND BLEW BACK INTO THE WINDSHIELD AT 30 MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. ALSO, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND TOOK APPROXIMATELY FIVE SECONDS TO INCREASE IN SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 25,000.

I RAN LOW ON WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID AND A LIGHT CAN ON NOTIFYING ME. THE NEXT DAY I NOTICED THAT THE LANE DETECTION SYSTEM AND THE CAR IN YOUR BLIND SPOT INDICATOR WAS NO WORKING. CAUSING A SAFETY CONCERN. COME TO FIND OUT. WHEN YOU RUN LOW ON WIPER FLUID, IT DEACTIVATES THESE SAFETY FEATURES. I THINK THIS IS CRAZY AND DANGEROUS. PUT IN WIPER FLUID AND IT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. WOW!!!

SINCE I HAVE HAD MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA IT HAS FACED SEVERAL MAJOR ISSUES SUCH HAS TWO TRANSMISSIONS REPLACEMENTS, NOW THE AC COMPRESSOR, THEN THE CAR DISPLAY SCREEN TURNED COMPLETELY PINK, AND OTHER NUMEROUS ISSUES THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN DOCUMENTED IN YOUR SYSTEM. PLEASE REFER BACK TO MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE SUBMITTED, MY SERVICE RECORDS FOR THE DEALERSHIP, AND SO FORTH FOR DOCUMENTATION PURPOSES. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT A CAR WITH ONLY 7 MILES ON IT WHEN PURCHASED SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY OF THESES ISSUES UNLESS IT WAS MANUFACTURED POORLY. I AM SO FED UP WITH DEALING WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND RUN AROUNDS FROM THE CORPORATION THAT I MAY HAVE TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED IN A TIMELY MANNER.
