2014 Nissan Altima complaints

I PURCHASED A USED 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA THE END OF APRIL 2015 FROM ENTERPRISE CAR SALES. I WAS TOLD THEY DID SUCH A THOROUGH INSPECTION OF ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES THAT THE CAR WAS IN GREAT CONDITION. IN OCTOBER 2015, WITH APPROXIMATELY, 61,000 MILES ON THE NISSAN, IT STARTED RANDOMLY HESITATING. I WOULD PUSH THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. A FEW DAYS LATER, I WAS PULLING OUT FROM AN INTERSECTION AND I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE!! I BARELY MADE IT HOME. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION, $3400 AND THAT THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY HAD JUST EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILES. I CALLED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND FILED A CLAIM TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COVER A NEW TRANSMISSION. AFTER ABOUT 5 OR 6 DAYS, I RECEIVED A CALL BACK AND WAS TOLD NO, THEY WOULD NOT COVER OR HELP PAY FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I ASKED IF THEY WERE AWARE OF ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS, THE REP SAID THEY HAD PROBLEMS ON PREVIOUS YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLES BUT NOT ON THE 2014(S). OBVIOUSLY, THERE ARE STILL PROBLEMS!!! A 2014 VEHICLE SHOULD NOT NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION!!!

THE NAVIGATION / RADIO SYSTEM REBOOTS ITSELF UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE THE DEVICE IS IN USE AND WHILE DRIVING.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA S WITH 48,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER DRIVING IT FOR FOUR MONTHS I RECENTLY STARTED HAVING AN ISSUE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS BAD GAS BECAUSE THE CAR STARTED JERKING AND ACTING LIKE IT WAS NOT GETTING GAS. I PURCHASED THE STUFF FOR FUEL THAT YOU USE TO INCREASE THE OCTANE IN THE TANK AND FILLED UP THE TANK. THE CAR DROVE OK FOR A DAY OR TWO, THEN IT STARTED WITH THE FOLLOWING. WHEN I DEPRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AT A STOP LIGHT, IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 30 SECONDS TO PULL OFF. AT THAT TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOOKED AT THE OWNERS MANUAL AND IT STATED IT WAS A FUEL EMISSION ISSUE. FILL THE TANK WITH HIGH OCTANE GAS AND THE LIGHT SHOULD GO OUT IN A FEW TRIPS. THE ISSUE CONTINUED TO GET WORSE AS I WAS DRIVING SAT, 10/10/15. I WENT FROM PULLING OFF SLOWLY, TO WHEN I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR IT WOULDN'T GO AT ALL UNTIL I KEPT PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, THEN DRIVE, THEN PARK, THEN DRIVE MANY TIMES UNTIL IT DECIDED TO DRIVE. AT THAT POINT I DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAR HOME CAUSE THE ISSUE WAS GETTING WORSE. ONLY I NEVER MADE IT HOME THE CAR SUDDENLY DECIDED IT WOULD NOT GO MORE THAN 35 IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I WAS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IT JUST SLOWED DOWN IMMEDIATELY AND MADE THIS LOUD WHINING NOISE. HAD I NOT BEEN IN AN AREA WHERE I COULD PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY MY 72 YEAR MOTHER AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN TOAST.

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD RECURRING PROBLEMS WITH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON BOTH CITY STREETS AND INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN DUE TO A RECALL ON THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM ON MAY 9, 2014. PREVIOUS TO THIS THERE WERE NO OBSERVABLE PROBLEMS. ON JUNE 12, 2014 THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT INTO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I BEGAN TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON WHEN A PASSENGER WAS IN THE FRONT SEAT WHILE DRIVING. NISSAN DETECTED A PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE AIRBAG DETECTION SENSOR. THE PROBLEM SOON BECAME EVIDENT AGAIN (MANY TIMES I DRIVE THE VEHICLE WHILE ALONE, SO PROBLEM ISN'T ALWAYS EVIDENT.) ON JAN 30, 2015 I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO NISSAN DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. AGAIN, THEY DETECTED CODES REGARDING THE PASSENGER OCCUPANT SENSORS AND THEY SAID THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR. FIVE DAYS LATER THE PROBLEM SHOWED UP WHILE WE WERE ON A LENGTHY TRIP. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN AGAIN ON APRIL 9. THEY STATED THAT NO CODES SHOWED UP AND SUGGESTED IT PROBABLY WOULD BE OK. HOWEVER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE PROBLEM SHOWED UP AGAIN, I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, EACH TIME THEY STATED THAT THEY DID A COMPUTER SCAN AND NO CODES SHOWED UP. I HAD TAKEN VIDEOS ON 3 OCCASIONS SHOWING THE VEHICLE IN MOTION AND SHOWING A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT AND SHOWING THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON INDICATING THE AIRBAG WAS NOT IN OPERATION. I OFFERED , EVEN ASKED IF THEY WOULD WATCH

SINCE THE FIRST WEEK WE OWNED THE CAR, OCCASIONALLY THE SCREEN(BACK UP CAM, RADIO...) DOESN'T START, OR FAILS WITHIN FIRST MILE OF DRIVING- MAYBE 10 TIMES SINCE PURCHASE DATE. ON JULY 29, 2015- MORNING- CAR UPON START, NO SCREEN AND NO DASHBOARD. RESTARTED TWICE AND THEN FINE. AT 9:30 P.M. SAME DAY-- CLOSE TO HOME, SIDE MIRROR FAILURE WARNING SHOWED ON DASH- AND A SUBSEQUENT FAILURE OF SYSTEMS- INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO- GPS, SCREEN, TURN SIGNALS, HEADLIGHTS,HAZARD LIGHTS, ALL DASH INFORMATION. I PULLED INTO PARKING GARAGE AND ATTEMPTED TO OPEN WINDOW TO USE KEY FOB FOR GATE AND HAD NO OPERATING WINDOWS, INCLUDING SUNROOF OR LOCKS. PUT CAR IN PARK AND COULD NOT GET IT INTO ANOTHER GEAR.TRAPPED IN CAR FOR 15 MIN. WITH CAR RUNNING- PASSENGER DOOR THEN UNLOCKED. AAA CALLED. CAR RAN FOR 3 HRS. AAA DISABLED THE ELECTRICAL OPERATING THE FUEL PUMP. CAR TOWED TO COCHRAN IN PITTSBURGH. SINCE A RESTART RESETS THE COMPUTER, NO CODE ON DIAGNOSTIC WOULD BE FOUND. COCHRAN CONSIDERS THE SITUATION RESOLVED. NISSAN HAS A CASE # AND SEVERAL RECORDED (BY NISSAN) CONVERSATIONS HAVE OCCURRED WITH REGIONAL REP. AND THAT REP. WILL NOT SEND WRITTEN FINDINGS OF INVESTIGATION (CHECK THE I KEY)AS IT IS INTERNAL INFORMATION AND I WILL PAY ALL DIAGNOSTIC FEES ASSOCIATED. REP HAS NO TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE AND HAS NO EXPLANATION OF WHAT AN I KEY IS OR HOW OR FOR WHAT IT SHOULD BE CHECKED. THERE IS A DIRECTIVE FROM NISSAN REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AS TOLD TO ME BY WRIGHT NISSAN, BUT AGAIN NOTHING WILL BE DONE

I HAVE A LEASED 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA THAT ON 2 OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING FAILED TO SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR. THE LAST TIME WAS 08/21/15, THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR I COULD NOT MAINTAIN SAFE DRIVING SPEED AND HAD TO PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS, PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR TWICE. THE LIGHT STAYED ON BUT THE CAR RESUMED NORMAL FUNCTION. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT EARLY TO BAY RIDGE NISSAN DEALER THEY LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THERE WAS A PASS CODE THAT SHOWED UP BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE CODE MEANT OTHER THAN THERE WAS AN ALERT FROM THE CAR. THE COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR SAY WHY THE ISSUE HAD HAPPENED OR GIVE ANY GUARANTEES THAT IT WOULD NOT OCCUR AGAIN WHICH IS A POTENTIAL DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION BUT PROCEEDED TO CHARGE ME $260 FOR DIAGNOSTICS ON A NEW CAR I LEASED THAT HAS WARRANTY.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA SV FROM BAKER NISSAN NORTH IN HOUSTON, TEXAS (19630 NORTHWEST FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77065 (281) 890-5656). MY TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED TWICE (REPLACED THE FIRST TIME AND NOW HAVING TO BE REPLACED AGAIN) AND I HAVE BEEN GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THIS ISSUE SHOULD NOT BE OCCURRING WITH A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. THEN TO TOP IT OFF I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER AND HAVE PURCHASED A TOTAL OF FOUR CARS FROM THIS DEALERSHIP NOW. I FILED A CONSUMER AFFAIRS REPORT WITH NISSAN CORPORATION AND HAVE YET TO HEAR SOMETHING. I ALSO CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE IN CHARGE SUCH AS THE GENERAL MANAGER AND THEY INFORMED ME TO CONTACT THE CONSUMERS AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT WITH NISSAN CORPORATION. THEY SAID THEY HAVE A CHAIN OF COMMAND TO FOLLOW AND THAT WOULD BE MY BEST BET OF GETTING THE SITUATION RESOLVED. I WOULD LIKE THIS SITUATION TO BE INVESTIGATED AND JUSTICE. I DO NOT SPEND MY HARD EARNED MONEY TO HAVE A CAR THAT IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY AND COULD PUT MY LIFE AND OTHERS IN DANGER. IT COMES DOWN TO THE FACT THAT THIS CAR IS A LEMON AND I SHOULD BE GIVEN BRAND NEW TRANSPORTATION OR THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD PURCHASE THE CAR AND PAY OFF THE LOAN AND LET ME TAKE MY BUSINESS ELSEWHERE....... I ALSO HAVE COPIES OF MY MAINTENANCE RECORDS FOR DOCUMENTATION PURPOSES.....THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU SOON. *TR..UPDATED 11/05/15 *BF THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE AC WAS BLOWING OUT HOT AIR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

TRANSMISSION FAILS ON THE HIGHWAY THIS IS THE SECOND TIME FOR A BRAND NEW CAR. I HAD MY CHILD IN THE CAR THIS TIME. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES POWER . THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED WAS @ 3000 MILES . THE SECOND TIME IS AT 13000 MILES. THE BIGGEST RISK IS BEING REAR ENDED BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND NISSAN KNOWS THEIR CVT FOR ALTIMA AND ROGUE 2014 IS AN ISSUE, NO MOVE FROM MANUFACTURER TO REPLACE THE CAR OR RECALL ALL CARS IN QUESTION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING AT 10 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED CONTINUOUSLY.

WHEN IM IN TRAFFIC AND TRY TO SPEED UP THE CAR DOESN'T CHANGE GEARS. IVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES AND THEY DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. IT HAS HAPPENED TWO TIMES WITHIN THE LAST THREE DAYS, WHICH IS MORE FREQUENTLY THAN BEFORE. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. WHEN I STOP THE CAR COMPLETELY, LETS SAY AT A RED LIGHT, THEN PRESS THE GAS IT TAKES A FEW SECONDS FOR THE CAR TO EVEN START MOVING.

THE PASS. SIDE AIR BAG OFF LIGHT DO NOT ALL WAYS TURN OFF WHEN SOMEONE IS SETTING IN PASS. SEAT. NISSAN LAST YEAR HAD A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, THEY RELOADED THE OCS SOFTWARE FOR THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD 3 PROBLEM SO FAR SENSE THE RECALL. MOST OF THE TIME THERE IS NO ONE BUT ME IN THE CAR SO I DO NOT HAVE A IDEA OF HOW OFTEN IT COULD HAD FAIL IF SOMEONE WAS IN THE PASS. SEAT WITH EVERY TRIP. I HAVE ONLY TAKEN THE CAR ONCE TO THE DEALER FOR THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE FIRST TIME I DID NOT THINK ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND AFTER CHECKING IT OUT, THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTING THEY COULD OR WOULD DO BECAUSE THEY HAD NO FAILURE AND THAT NISSAN WILL NOT LET THEM REPLACE ANY PARTS UNLESS THERE IS A FAILURE AS NISSAN WILL NOT PAY FOR THE ITEM. OPEN REF.# 19611123 WITH NISSAN AND WAS TOLD ABOUT THE SAME THIN, EXCEPT NISSAN SAID THAT IT WAS THE DEALER CALL BUT THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR NO FAILURE PART REPLACEMENT. I BELIEVE IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND SOMEONE WITH POWER SHOULD LOOK INTO IT, DO TO THE FACT THERE HAVE ALREADY BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. NO ONE I TALK TO AT THE DEALER OR ON THE PHONE TO NISSAN WOULD OR COULD DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE INTERNET HAS MANY WRITE UP ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THAT NO ONE WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT. I GUESS THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE BADLY INJURED OR KILLED TO TAKE THE PROBLEM SERIOUS.

STARTED NOTICING THIS PROBLEM IN THE FIRST WEEK OF PURCHASE. CAR NEEDS TO BE CONSTANTLY CORRECTED TO STAY INSIDE THE LANE EVEN WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT, AND THE STEERING BECOMES TO TAUT WHEN I TRY TO CORRECT IT, LIKE ITS BEING PULLED AWAY FROM DEAD-CENTRE. I ALMOST RAN INTO CARS IN THE OTHER LANE, WAS HONKED AT MULTIPLE TIMES.. NOW I AM EXTREMELY CAREFUL AND DRIVE WITH BOTH HANDS ON THE STEERING CONSTANTLY ADJUSTING TO STAY INSIDE THE LANE. A FRIEND WHO WAS FOLLOWING ME LAST WEEKEND SAID I WAS WEAVING SO MUCH THAT IT LOOKED LIKE SOME DRUNK WAS DRIVING THE CAR!! THE STEERING ISSUE HAS TO BE FIXED BEFORE IT CAUSED ANY FATALITIES.

DURING OUR VACATION WHILE DRIVING IN ILLINOIS WE NOTICED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING AT A SPEED OF 60 TO 65 MPH WHILE AN ADULT OCCUPYING THE PASSENGER SEAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND SAID PASSENGER AIR BAG TURNED OFF. I PULLED OUT THE OWNERS MANUAL AND READ THAT IT COULD BE CAUSED BY AN ARTICLE PERHAPS TOUCHING THE SEAT IF RECLINED TOO FAR BACK. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. THERE WAS NOTHING TOUCHING THE SEAT. I WAS SITTING PERFECTLY STILL SO THE SENSOR SHOULD HAVE DETECTED A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. I HAD BEEN SITING IN THE SEAT FOR HOURS WITH THE NORMAL MOVEMENT. WE PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN RESTARTED AND THE LIGHT STAYED OFF. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON OUR VACATION AND IS A SCARY THOUGHT TO HAVE THIS OCCUR. ONCE HOME, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN APPOINTMENT AND IN THE MEANTIME THE SAME THING OCCURRED ON A SHORT IN TOWN TRIP TWICE.MY APPOINTMENT IS THIS WEEK SO I AM CURIOUS WHAT THEY WILL FIND.

ON APPROXIMATELY JUNE 19, 2015 I STARTED EXPERIENCING SLUGGISH TAKE OFF FROM A STOP POSITION IN MY CAR. NOTICEABLY AFTER WORK, ON THE WAY HOME IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AFTER 7-10 MILES INTO MY TRANSIT (WITH OUTSIDE TEMPS IN THE 90'S). DIDN'T HAPPEN EVERYDAY, ONLY WHEN TRAFFIC WAS REALLY BAD (STOP AND GO). I TOOK VEHICLE INTO DEALERSHIP ON JUNE 29TH TO HAVE THIS CHECKED OUT; DEALERSHIP REPAIR DROVE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 16-MILES AND FOUND NO HESITATION WHILE DRIVING DURING THAT TIME. ON JULY 2ND, ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK THE SLUGGISHNESS TURNED INTO A CRITICAL, SERIOUS 'HESITATION' PROBLEM. MY FOOT WAS PRESSING ON GAS PEDAL BUT CAR WOULDN'T MOVE, I WAS HOLDING UP TRAFFIC, I PRESSED HARDER AND HARDER AND THEN MY CAR LUNGED FORWARD ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT ON TWO OCCASIONS; THIS PROBLEM CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY ALL THE WAY HOME (FOR THE NEXT 5+ MILES) - I DROVE WITH EMERGENCY FLASHERS. CALLED DEALERSHIP NEXT DAY I SPOKE WITH RECEPTIONIST ASKING TO SPEAK WITH SERVICE MANAGER, LEFT HIM VOICEMAIL MESSAGE/CALL NEVER RETURNED CALLED BACK COUPLE OF TIMES ONLY TO GET VOICEMAIL. MADE APPOINTMENT ONLINE & TOOK CAR IN ON JULY 7TH. CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP EVER SINCE. ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER STATES THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I EXPLAINED I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR; ESPECIALLY WITH TWO MISSED CAR CRASHES. THAT WAS ENOUGH FOR ME! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T WANT THIS CAR ANYMORE.

CAR WILL NOT STAY IN LANE AT HIGHWAY SPEED IT WANDERS BACK AND FORTH YOU HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT TO STAY IN YOUR LANE . ALMOST WENT UNDER SEMI TRUCK TRAILER .AIR BAG LIGHT ALSO COMES ON SAYING NO ONE IS IN PASSENGER SEAT WHEN MY WIFE IS SETTING THERE .BEEN TO DEALER ON RECALL 2 TIMES ON THIS ALREADY

WE TOOK A TRIP TO NORTHERN MICHIGAN FROM ASHEVILLE NC, OUR ALTIMA BEGAN TO DIE WHEN IDLING IN DETROIT. I THOUGHT WE HAD BAD GAS SO PURCHASED LUCAS FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER AND FILLED THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLES PERFORMANCE IMPROVED WE CONTINUED OUR TRIP TO INDIAN RIVER MI. ONCE WE REACHED OUR DESTINATION I PARKED THE CAR AND IT SAT FROM SATURDAY UNTIL THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY MORNING. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND PUT IT IN REVERSE THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T MOVE, I SHIFTED THE CAR BACK INTO PARK AND THEN TO REVERSE AGAIN DEPRESSED TO FUEL PEDAL AND IT BEGAN TO MOVE. WE STARTED ON OUR DAY TRIP AND ABOUT TWO MILES DOWN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE DOWN SHIFTED AND WOULD NOT GO FAST THAN 20MPH, WE CALLED NISSAN ASSISTANCE AND THE SENT A WRECKER TO GET US. THE WRECKER TO US TO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP TWO HOURS AWAY, AFTER SPENDING ANOTHER FOUR HOURS AT THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT OUR VEHICLE HAD TO HAVE ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIP GOT US A RENTAL CAR AND WE ARE CURRENTLY ON OUR WAY HOME. I WILL BE TALKING TO NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE ON MONDAY TO SEE HOW THEY PLAN ON GETTING OUR VEHICLE BACK TO US. WE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SIGNALS CAME ON TO WARN US UNTIL THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T MOVE AT ALL.

THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT WILL NOT DETECT AN ADULT OCCUPYING THE SEAT AND DISABLES THE AIR BAG FOR THAT PASSENGER. I HAVE PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED THIS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS FOR ADULTS RANGING IN WEIGHTS FROM 130 POUNDS TO 165 POUNDS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY DEALER ON 4 OCCASIONS. THE FIRST TIME THEY TOLD ME THEY REPROGRAMMED IT. THE SECOND, THEY REPLACED A SENSOR. THE THIRD, THEY SAID MY WIFE DIDN'T WEIGH ENOUGH AND TO SIT VERY STILL OR BOUNCE AROUND IN THE SEAT SO THAT THE PASSENGER IS DETECTED. THE FOURTH TIME, THEY REPLACED TWO SENSORS. STILL THE ISSUE PERSISTS. TO TRY AND REMEDY, I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND KEEP TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON UNTIL IT DETECTS MY PASSENGER AND ENABLES THE AIRBAG.

PURCHASED NEW 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA SL 3.5L AT APPROXIMATELY 2200 MILES WHEN ACCELRATING AT A STOP LIGHT THE VEHICLE JERKED (AS IF IT COULD NOT CHANGE GEARS), HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY AT FIRST. TOOK VEHICLE TO REPAIR SHOP AT 2 DEALERS IN 2 STATES WHO COULD NOT CAPTURE INFORMATION AT THAT TIME. BY 12000 MILES WHILE RETURNING FROM VACATION (1/4/2015) THE VEHICLE WAS UNDRIVEABLE. TOOK TO LOCAL DEALER AND NEEDED A COMPLETEE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. AT THIS TIME, VEHICLE WAS JERKING, MISSING GEARS, CHANGING GEARS INDEPENDENTLY, TRYING TO GO IN TO A LOWER GEAR WHILE BREAKED AT A STOP LIGHT AND ENGINE WOULD REV TO ACCELRATE, VEHICLE SHOOK, AND WAS LITERALLY DETERIORATING EACH MILE. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, AT APPROXIMATELY 14500 MILES, THE SAME VEHICLE SYMPTOMS HAVE BEGUN. TOOK TO DEALER WHILE TRAVELING, THEY WERE ABLE TO CAPTURE MINIMAL DATA BECAUSE AS THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK AND SHAKE, THEIR BATTERY DIED IN THE LAP TOP. HOWEVER, SOME DATA WAS RECORDED. ADVISED TO DRIVE HOME AND FILE COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN MOTORS NORTH AMERICA (WHICH I HAVE DONE,) VEHICLE WILL BE TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALER FOR CONTINUAL STUDY AND NEW TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. WAS ADVISED BY REPAIR MANAGER, THAT TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOW BEING KNOWN TO SEIZE WHILE BEING DROVE. I HAVE REQUESTED NISSAN PURCHASE MY VEHICLE BACK, PAY OFF MY LOAN AND REFUND ANY TRADE IN VALUES AND PAYMENTS MADE ON NMAC LOAN BECAUSE I REFUSE TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION EVERY 2000 MILES. AT THIS TIME VEHICLE IS SHIFTING SPURATICALLY AT ANY MILEAGE. M

WE RENTED A 2014 ALTIMA S FROM A LOCAL HERTZ RENT-A-CAR AND TRAVELED ROUNDTRIP FROM FLORIDA TO NEW YORK. ON THE RETURN TRIP WE STOPPED AT A REST AREA JUST ENTERING SOUTH CAROLINA. WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND WENT TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE THE CAR STALLED OUT. I PROCEEDED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE CAR. WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE AGAIN IN REVERSE, AGAIN IT STALLED; TRIED AGAIN TO PUT IT IN DRIVE, AGAIN IT STALLED. I THEN CALLED HERTZ EMERGENCY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO GET A TOW TO THE NEAREST HERTZ RENTAL WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE TO THE NEAREST AIRPORT. THE TOW CAME IN 45 MINUTES SINCE THE NEAREST RELIABLE TOW WAS IN NORTH CAROLINA. EVEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER COULD NOT PUT THE VEHICLE IN GEAR WITHOUT THE VEHICLE STALLING OUT EVEN AFTER COOLING FOR ALMOST AN HOUR. THE CAR RENTAL GAVE US ANOTHER VEHICLE, A NISSAN SENTRA, WHICH WAS THE LARGEST VEHICLE THEY HAD AVAILABLE. LUCKILY WE WERE ABLE TO FINISH OUR TRIP TO FLORIDA WITHOUT ANY FURTHER INCIDENCE. THE RENTAL AGENT OR HIS BOSS COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED; THAT THEY'RE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WITH THEIR RENTALS; THAT SHE'LL GIVE ME A TOKEN DOLLARS OFF MY RENTAL SINCE NO OTHER PLACES WOULD EVEN DO WHAT SHE DID FOR US....UPDATED 07/30/15 *BF UPDATED 9/24/2015 *JS

I HAVE ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR ABOUT 15 MONTHS AND I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. SO ABOUT A MONTH AGO I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A JERK WHEN I WOULD PUSH ON THE GAS WHEN COMING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. ONE TIME MY CAR EVEN SLIGHTLY SLID AND THE TIRE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ONCE THAT HAPPENED BUT THEY SAID THAT THE ONLY ISSUE THEY SAW WAS THAT MY WHEELS WERE UNBALANCED. I STILL EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE FROM TIME TO TIME AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY. I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR FOR A REASON AND THAT WAS TO NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH CAR ISSUES FOR A WHILE.

I BOUGHT THE CAR LAST YEAR AND IT HAS ONLY BEEN ABOUT 13 MONTHS. ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO, I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A KIND OF JERK WHEN I WOULD START OFF A STOP LIGHT AND ACCELERATE. FIRST THINKING IT WAS NOT A GREAT DEAL, I KEPT GOING HOWEVER I NOTICED IT THAT IT WAS BECOMING MORE CONSTANT. ONE DAY ABOUT TO REVERSE OUT OF A PARKING LOT, I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, AND THE CAR TURNED OFF. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE AT ALL FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I THEN TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND IT STARTED WORKING FINE. BEING LATE FOR WORK, I THEN CONTINUED ON AND UNTIL YESTERDAY EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. YESTERDAY, I GOT INTO MY CAR, STARTED IT, SWITCHED TO DRIVE, AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, TURNED IT ON AGAIN, MOVED THE SHIFTER INTO REVERSE AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AGAIN. I HAVE SINCE HAD IT TOWED AND IT IS BEING CHECKED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS BEING A ONE YEAR OLD CAR, I DO NOT EXPECT IT TO GIVE THESE ISSUES.

MY CAR IS STALLING ON THE HIGHWAY AND SOMETIMES CUTS OFF AT A LOW SPEED. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT SEE ANY ISSUES DUE TO THE ENGINE LIGHT NOT COMING ON. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY HAZZARD BEING THAT THE CAR COULD TURN OFF AT ANYTIME ON THE HIGHWAY. I'M REALLY CONCERN WHEN MY FAMILY (WIFE & KIDS ARE IN THE CAR. PLEASE HELP!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD POPPING SOUND AND THEN THE SUN ROOF GLASS SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON OPENING THE SUN ROOF, THE GLASS WAS ALREADY FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,500.

2014 ALTIMA HAS BEEN INTO DEALER FOR PASSENGER AIR BAG ISSUES AND TWICE THEY HAVE DONE THINGS, BUT WE STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. A PASSENGER OVER 125 POUNDS IS SITTING IN THE SEAT AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT SAYING THE AIR BAG IS TURNED OFF IS ON. HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURN ON AGAIN AND IT WILL THEN GO OUT. MAKES ME WONDER WHAT IT WILL REALLY DO IF WE ARE IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ON A NAVIGATION SOFTWARE UPDATE RECALL OR A SECONDARY HOOD LATCH PROBLEM UNTIL I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO THE DEALER TO ASK WHY THE RADIO AND NAVIGATION SYSTEM WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. *TR

I AM WRITING REGARDING PROBLEMS WITH THE NISSAN AIR BAG SAFETY SYSTEM IN MY 2014 ALTIMA. I PURCHASED A 2014 ALTIMA IN AUGUST AND HAVE HAD A RECURRING INTERMITTENT PROBLEM OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON AND REMAINING ON WHEN I HAVE AN ADULT PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE. MY WIFE WEIGHS 120 POUNDS YET IT IS NOT INFREQUENT FOR THE LIGHT TO GO ON WHEN WE START THE CAR AND THEN REMAIN ON FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, USUALLY BETWEEN FIFTEEN AND THIRTY MINUTES. IT MAY ALSO COME ON AND STAY ON IF SHE GETS IN THE CAR AFTER I HAVE STARTED IT. SINCE LOCAL TRIPS ARE OFTEN LESS THAN THIRTY MINUTES, THERE ARE TIMES WE COMPLETE A SHORT TRIP WITHOUT THE LIGHT GOING OUT. THE LIGHT WILL ALSO COME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE WE ARE DRIVING. DURING ONE OF THESE EPISODES THE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE WE WERE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE, REMAINED ON FOR JUST OVER AN HOUR, AND THEN WENT OFF. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR EVALUATED BY NISSAN TWICE AND ARE REPEATEDLY TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. I ALSO WROTE AND SPOKE WITH NISSAN CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THERE IS NOTHING UNDER THE SEAT. THERE ARE NO CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND MY WIFE IS NOT TURNING AROUND IN THE SEAT. I HAVE PICTURES (I CAN FORWARD IF DESIRED) THAT SHOW THE PROBLEM WHILE WE ARE ON THE ROAD. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A STRONG GLARE EMITTED FROM THE DASHBOARD ONTO THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH PREVENTED THE DRIVER FROM SEEING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION; HOWEVER, THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THERE WAS NO REMEDY FOR THE ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THAT THE GLARE WAS NOT A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,600. UPDATED 6/8/15*CN UPDATED 10/11/2017*CN

THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK CAUSING UNWANTED ACCELERATION.

THE SEATBELTS ON MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO LATCH. RECEIVING END RETRACTS BELOW THE SEAT LEVEL WHEN YOU TRY TO LATCH IT. CONTACTED NISSAN CORPORATION THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT TO MY DEALER WHICH WAS ROUTE 23 AUTO MALL, BUTLER NEW JERSEY. BROUGHT IT IN TODAY TO BE CHECKED AND THEY TOLD ME NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE LATCHING MECHANISM OF THE SEATBELT. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WILL NEVER LEASE/BUY ANOTHER ALTIMA AGAIN. HAD A 2010 ALTIMA AND HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT. *TR

OTHER PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN, SPLASHING NOISE FROM FUEL TANK, WIND NOISE COMING FROM PASSNGER SIDE WINDOW, VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP VEHICLE FROM WANDERING ON HIGHWAY FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME BUT READING SIMILAR REVIEWS I NOW KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN ALTIMA. *TR
