2015 Nissan Altima complaints

THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR CANNOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. HAVE TO LET WINDOW DOWN TO GRAB THE OUTSIDE HANDLE IN ORDER TO OPEN THAT DOOR. REPORTED IT TO DEALERSHIP. NO RECALL ON VIN..THE PROBLEM WAS NOT SOLVED. THE DOOR MIGHT OPEN WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS CAR CONTINUE TO GET DIMMER. THEY ARE AT THE POINT WHERE IT ISNT DRIVEABLE AT NIGHT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER BECAUSE THE CAR IS UNDER A CERTIFIED WARRANTY AND THEY ALONG WITH NISSAN CORPORATE TOLD ME ITS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. I EVEN REPLACED THE BULBS WITH BRIGHTER SYLVANIA BULBS BUT IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. PEOPLE HAVE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET SO CLEARLY IT IS A PROBLEM AS THE CAR IS NOT SAFE AT NIGHT. CAN YOU HELP?

TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF A FAMILY MEMBER WHO OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD AND FELT AS IF IT STRUCK A LOG. THE VEHICLE MADE A CLUNKING NOISE AND SHUT DOWN. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NISSAN OF LAGRANGE (706-558-3196, LOCATED AT 1050 LAFAYETTE PKWY, LAGRANGE, GA 30241) WHERE THE DRIVER WAS INFORMED TO CONTACT THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS AN UNKNOWN OPEN RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL REPAIR WOULD DEPEND ON THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER'S RECOMMENDATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,594.

REAR DRIVER'S DOOR CANNOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. IT MAKE FLY OPEN WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION. WHILE DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY, I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES BECAUSE A CAR JUMP IN MY LANE WITHOUT WARNING; BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SEAT BELTS DID NOT SNATCH BACK.

TAKATA RECALL, DOESN'T ACCELERATE WHEN PETAL IS PRESSED BUT INSTEAD DELAYS FOR 3-5 SECONDS. THEN IT JERKS AND ACCELERATES QUICKLY

MY 2015 ALTIMA IS EXPERIENCING A SPORADIC DELAY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. IT WON'T REV OR DO ANYTHING FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS NO MATTER HOW FAR DOWN THE PEDAL IS. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'LL GO. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I TOOK IT TO PEP BOYS STORE TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THE TECH STAFF EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUE I WAS WHEN HE DROVE MY CAR. HE PLACE THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL INTO MY CAR AND CAME UP WITH A CODE THAT STATED SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH MY TRANSMISSION(P0776 CODE). BECAUSE THE STORE DON NOT DEAL WITH TRANSMISSION, I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM THE ISSUE. AFTER RUNNING TEST THEY DID NOT FIND ANY ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION OR NO CODE WHEN THEY INSERTED THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL INTO MY CAR. THEY STATED THEY IS MUST HAVE BEEN CLEAR. WHAT I DONT UNDERSTAND IS HOW IT'S CLEAR WHEN NO ONE HAVE DONE ANY WORK ON THE CAR. I BELIEVE IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN AND THE ENGINE IS HOT.. I EXPLAIN THIS TO THEM TOO.

THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITH LESS THAN 75000 MILES MOTOR MOUNTS BAD AND AIR BAGS DOES NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON CITY STREET

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE HOOD FLEW UP ON ITS OWN AND BLOCKED THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT DROVE OVER A RACCOON OR SOME TYPE OF WOODLAND CREATURE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED. THE CONTACT STOPPED THE VEHICLE, SLAMMED THE HOOD DOWN, AND DROVE HOME. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE CONTACT CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE EXHAUST WAS FRACTURED DUE TO DRIVING OVER THE ANIMAL. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD GET BACK WITH THE CONTACT SOON. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

JULY 2018: BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH HAD INTERMITTENT FAILURES - ONCE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED, IT WOULD NOT DISENGAGE. THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT OVER A MONTH-LONG PERIOD. ONCE THE PROBLEM OCCURRED, THE CAR WOULD ONLY USE NEUTRAL GEAR. (DETAILED DESCRIPTION ATTACHED) HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AT 50+ MPH AS WELL AS FROM STOP SIGNS, STOP & GO TRAFFIC. JULY 2019: BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH HAD INTERMITTENT FAILURES - THE CAR WOULD NOT START EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED; THE CAR'S ELECTRONICS DID NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED.

HEADLIGHTS DANGEROUSLY DIM. NO VISIBILITY DRIVING AFTER DARK. LIGHTS DOES NOT ILLUMINATE ROAD. CANNOT SEE ANYTHING IN FRONT OR SEE CURBS OR PEOPLE CROSSING ROADS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2013-2015 NISSAN CARS. IT IS SO UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT AS YOU CANNOT SEE ANYTHING IN FRONT OF CAR. CHANGED BULBS TWICE, BROUGHT NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND STILL HAD SAME PROBLEM AFTER 7 MOS. NISSAN SHOULD RECALL HEADLIGHT BEFORE SOMEONE DIES DUE TO THEIR FAULTY HEADLIGHTS AND THEIR SILENCE

THE VEHICLE HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN PART OF A RECALL RELATED TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR IN THAT THE SENSOR WOULD FAIL TO DETECT A SEATED ADULT AND DISPLAY THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS REPORTEDLY REPAIRED BY THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN 2017, HOWEVER, THE ISSUE HAS BEEN NOTED AGAIN. ATTEMPTS TO HAVE NISSAN DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR THIS ISSUE AS PART OF THE PREVIOUS RECALL CAMPAIGN WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. NISSAN STATES THAT THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER STANDARD WARRANTY AND ANY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH REPAIR WOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER. NISSAN CASE #36131009. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN NOTED TO HAVE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DISABLED WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR MATERIAL HAS CAME APART AROUND MIRROR AND THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE WHEN TRY TO PUSH UP. IT FALLS BACK DOWN IN THE WAY

I WAS DRIVING WHEN A MAN RAN THE STOP SIGN AND PLOWED INTO THE SIDE OF MY CAR. I COULD SEE THAT HE WAS NOT GOING TO STOP SO I SWERVED AND STARTED BRAKING IN ORDER TO MISS HIM. I HAD NO WERE TO GO BECAUSE THERE WAS A GUARD RAIL ON MY DRIVERS SIDE AND PEOPLE SITTING AT THE STOP SIGN THAT I ALMOST HIT HEAD ON TRYING TO AVOID THIS GUY. HE HIT ME SO HARD THAT IT BROKE THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE AND IT TOTALED MY CAR. BUT THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY CAUSING ME TO GET TOSSED AND BRUISED UP EVEN THOUGH I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAGS IN THIS VEHICLE. I DO HAVE A POLICE REPORT AND AN ATTORNEY CONCERNING THIS MATTER. IF YOU NEED MORE INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT ME BY EMAIL. *DT CONSUMER STATED SHE WOULD FOLLOW UP ON 06/26/19 AND HAS BEEN UNRESPONSIVE SINCE.*JB

CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE IF IT'S BEEN IDLING FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, SUCH AS THE TIMING OF A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THIS HAPPENS MORE OFTEN IF THE AC IS RUNNING. HAD TO MASH DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR STILL LAGGED. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT THIS IS STILL A MAJOR ISSUE.

CAR HAS POOR VISUALBILITY DURING NIGHT TIME DRIVING WITH LIGHTS ON LOW BEAM HAS CHANGED LIGHTS TO LED AND BOUGHT HIGHER QUALITY BULBS WHICH HASNT HELPED THE PROBLEM CAR WAS BROUGHT BRAND NEW 2015 AND HAS NOTICED PROBLEM OF LOW LIGHT REFLECTION SINCE EARLY 2018

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAGS MIGHT NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HYMAN BROS NISSAN (LOCATED AT 11841 MIDLOTHIAN TURNPIKE, MIDLOTHIAN, VA 23113, (804) 378-3000) WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOWED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS). THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED, BUT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY RESET THE FAILURE CODE. EACH TIME THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO HYMAN BROS NISSAN, A DIFFERENT FAILURE CODE WAS FOUND AND THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 34347366. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,861. *TT*JB

I TURNED ON MY VEHICLE WHILE PARKED AND THE RED AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT TURNED ON. THE LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF EVEN WHILE I AM SITTING IN THE DRIVER SEAT. THE OCS SENSOR IS NOT WORKING AS INTENDED.

MY NISSAN ALTIMA WILL RANDOMLY HAVE DELAYED ACCELERATION NO MATTER HOW HARD I PUSH ON THE GAS PEDAL. AT RED LIGHTS SOMETIMES MY CAR WILL NOT MOVE FOR A FEW SECONDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES.

WITH NO MECHANICAL WARNING OF ANY TYPE (WARNING LIGHTS OR OVERALL VEHICLE PERFORMANCE), MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA HAD THE CVT (TRANSMISSION) FAIL. THE CAR STARTING TO SPUTTER AND ACT UP WHILE DRIVING IT, NO WARNING INDICATION OF ANY ISSUES STILL, AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. STOPPING ALL FORWARD MOTION OF THE CAR. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I AM FINDING THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN 2.4L ENGINES WITH CVT, NO MATTER THE MODEL OF VEHICLE. LUCKILY I WAS NOT ON A MULTIPLE LANE HIGHWAY GOING 70-80 MPH AT THE TIME OF FAILURE AS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN! HAD I BEEN DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, I COULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC LANE, PUTTING MY LIFE, ALONG WITH MY PASSENGERS LIVES, IN DANGER. IN SPEAKING TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THEY SEE THIS FAILURE MULTIPLE TIMES IN A WEEK. HAD MY 16 YEAR OLD, NEW DRIVER, BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF FAILURE, WE COULD BE DEALING WITH AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SITUATION. THIS IS A DEFECT OF THE TRANSMISSION THAT NISSAN IS KNOWINGLY INSTALLING IN THEIR VEHICLES EVEN TODAY. NISSAN DID EXTEND THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY FOR MULTIPLE MODELS FROM 2003-2010; HOWEVER THE PROBLEM WITH THE CVT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED EVEN BY 2015.

MY CAR KEPT CUTTING OFF WHEN I AM DRIVING. IT GIVES NO WARNING ON WHEN IT GOING TO TURN OFF. VERY DANGEROUS CAN GET A PERSON KILL WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

MY CAR STARTED THIS ISSUE AROUND 84,000 MILES. ONCE A MONTH IT LOOSES POWER USUALLY AFTER I'M STOPPED. I TRY TO TAKE OFF IT SOMETIMES HESITATES FOR A FEW SECONDS AND TAKES OFF SLOWLY A LACK OF ABOUT 75% POWER. I HAD A COUPLE CLOSE CALLS IN THE CITY. I GET OUT THERE AND THEN IT ACTS UP WHILE I'M TRYING TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC. IT'S SEEMS TO NOT SHIFT GEARS ALSO THE ENGINE WILL JUST SCREAM. I ALSO LEARNED BY SHUTTING CAR OFF PROBLEM GOES AWAY LIKE OTHER PEOPLES CARS.

TAKATA RECALL.... WHEN VEHICLE IS IN TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAY AT A STAND STILL AND YOU FINALLY GET TO MOVE THE VEHICLE WON'T CHANGE GEARS. THE RPM WILL GO AS HIGH AS 8 BUT THE MILEAGE WILL NOT GO UP, IT WILL STAY AT THAT LOWER LEVEL SPEED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS AGO, WHILE DRIVING, THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAGS MIGHT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SCOTT EVANS NISSAN (LOCATED AT 725 BANKHEAD HWY, CARROLLTON, GA 30117, (770) 832-8222) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SENSOR BELOW THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS DISCONNECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM, I HAVE TO USE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS IN THE DARK ALL THE TIME.

PERSISTANT POOR LIGHT PRODUCTION OF LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS/ HEAD LAMP PROJECTORS. HAVE REPLACED HEAD LAMP BULBS WITH STONGER H11 BULBS, INCLUDING LED AND YOU CAN BARELY SEE THE ROAD AT NIGHT. CLEARLY THE PROJECTOR DETERIORATES OR FAILS AS CAR AGES. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD, AS YOU CANNOT CLEARLY SEE THE ROAD UNLESS YOU USE HI BEAM, WHICH IS NOT PRACTICAL. EVEN WITH FOG LAMPS TURNED ON, FORWARD VIEW IS DIFFICULT IN NIGHT AND ABSOLUTELY DANGEROUS IN POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS. THIS IS WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AT NIGHT, POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS, DUSK, DAWN, LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS.

TAKATA RECALL- THIS CAR IS THE WORST AND HORRIBLY BUILT. IF YOU SIT IN THE CAR IT LOOKS LIKE A NICE CAR BUT IF YOU TAKE A PEAK YOU WILL SEE HOW HORRIBLE IT IS. UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL YOU CAN SEE THE WIRES HANGING OUT. THE FUEL ON THE CAR IS DONE. WE ALWAYS GET THE CAR CHECKED AND IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE FUEL. WHICH PROBABLY HAS TO DO WITH THE 2015 RECALL THAT WE WEREN'T PROPERLY NOTIFIED ABOUT. THE WINDOWS DO A WEIRD LOCK THING, WHERE SOMETIMES I THINK I'M UNLOCKING THE WINDOW AND THE DOOR AT THE SAME TIME. I HATE THAT WE INVESTED SO MUCH INTO THIS NISSAN AND IT'S PROBABLY THE WORST CAR EVER (AND IVE ONLY HAD NISSANS SINCE I WAS 16 SO THAT SAYS ALOT). WHEN YOUR DRIVING THE CAR JERKS LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF BUT WHEN WE TAKE IT ANYWHERE THEY DON'T SEE THE PROBLEM. THE CAR IS TRASH.

THIS IS THE 3RD COMPLAINT. I NOW HAVE NO LIGHT PROJECTING FROM A GOOD BULB ON THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT AND THERE IS ONLY 1 FOOT OF PROJECTION OF LIGHT COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT. I AM NOW DRIVING WITH MY HIGH BEAMS AT NIGHT. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY, THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS AND THE PUBLIC THAT I DRIVE BEHIND WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS DEFECT BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED. I TRY NOT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, BUT I DO HAVE THINGS I NEED TO DO OR PEOPLE I NEED TO SEE THAT PUTS MY IN DRIVING AT NIGHT. I LOVE MY CAR AND I AM CLOSE TO PAYING IT OFF, SO I WON'T BE GOING INTO ANOTHER CAR LOAN. I WANT NISSAN TO FIX THIS DEFECTIVE ISSUE ASAP.

BREAK FAILURE BY SUDDEN - ON 05/09/19 WHEN I TRY TO PARK MY CAR, I STEPPED ON BREAK AND SLOWLY MOVE INTO PARKING SPOT; THE BREAK WAS SUDDENLY DROP INTO VACUUM WITHOUT RESISTANCE. MY BRAIN REACTION BY TRYING TO STOP A CAR, BUT SINCE THE BREAK SUDDENLY FAILURE, I CHANGED FROM BREAK PEDAL TO GAS AND CAUSE THE CAR TO MOVE FORWARD, WHICH HAD CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

I PURCHASED THE CAR NOV 2016 AND HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE MARCH 2017. RANDOMLY, IT WILL TELL YOU THAT THERE IS NO KEY WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR AND THE KEY IS INSIDE. IT WILL TELL YOU WRONG KEY WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO TURN THE CAR ON. OR LOW BATTERY WHEN YOU HAVE A BRAND NEW CAR AND WIRELESS ENTRY BATTERY.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CATCHES ON FIRE WHEN THEY ARE TURNED ON

HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THEY'RE BARELY LITE. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE RICHMOND NISSAN DEALERSHIP. RESULT: THE PROJECTORS ARE BAD AND THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACE ON BOTH LIGHTS!! QUOTED COST (PARTS AND LABOR): $1100 -$1200. I DECLINED THE SERVICE OFFERED. THERE ARE MANY, MANY, MANY LINKS AND DOCUMENTATION THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR NISSAN FOR YEARS WITH EARLIER 2000 YEAR CARS!!!! MINE IS A 2015. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL ORDER ON THESE PARTS? I DRIVE ON COUNTRY ROADS AND THE INTERSTAES WHICH ARE NOT LITE. PLEASE HELP!!

THE POWER STEERING PUMP WENT OUT IN OUR 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. I CAUSED A VERY HIGH PITCHED NOISE AND STEERING WAS AFFECTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO OPERATE, ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. CROWN NISSAN (5151 34TH ST N, ST. PETERSBURG, FL 33714, (866) 239-1758) STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE FINE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

TAKATA RECALL WHILE DRIVING CAR STALLS FIRST THEN TURNS OFF COMPLETELY WHICH COULD CAUSE MAJOR ACCIDENT ON HIGHWAY IT'S A PUSH START VEHICLE CAR WAS IN MOTION HAS HAPPENED ON CITY STREET AND WHILE EXITING HIGHWAY

THE GEAR SHIFTER IN MY AUTOMATIC CAR WILL NOT RELEASE. IN ORDER TO DRIVE. I MUST STICK AN OBJECT IN THE RELEASE HOLE TO SHIFT MY CAR INTO REVERSE, NEUTRAL, OR DRIVE. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH MANY NISSANS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE HOOD LATCH FAILED AND HOOD FLEW UP CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE CAR.

I PURCHASED A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA 2015 SV IN NOVEMBER 2, FROM QUEENS AUTO MALL IN QUEENS, NY. 3 WEEKS LATER THE CAR WOULD NOT GO EVEN IF I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE GROUND. THE DEALERSHIP FIXED IT AND HAD ME PAY FOR THE NEW SPARK PLUGS. HERE I AM 3 MONTHS LATER AND I HAD TO FIX THE TPMS. THE. DRIVING THE CAR A FEW TIMES LONG DISTANCE. THIS IS WHAT STARTED HAPPENING: STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, I WOULD PUSH THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS THEN IT WOULD KICK IN AND ACCELERATE. I WENT TO ACCELERATE AFTER A STOP SIGN AND THE CAR WOULDN'T GO PASS 10 MILES AN HOUR WITH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. THE RPM WAS RACING BETWEEN 1.5-3 RPM. THIS WOULD STOP ONCE I PRESSED THE BRAKES. IT STARTED MAKING A RACING NOISE WITH NO GAS POWER, THEN IT WOULD KICK IN AGAIN. I PULLED OVER, SHUT OFF THE CAR, AND RE-STARTED. THE CAR WAS "NORMAL" AGAIN. I LET IT SIT FOR THREE HOURS BEFORE DRIVING HOME. AND IT STARTED MAKING THE NOISE AS IF IT WAS GOING TO STALL. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY TOLD IT WAS GOING TO COST ME $2,000 DOLLARS. HE ALSO SAID THAT HIS SHOP HAS BEEN FIXING THIS ISSUES ON MANY NISSAN AND THAT WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH NISSAN. ALSO ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY AND DO. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT, BUT LOOKING UP AND READING CARCOMPLAINTS.COM I SEE THIS ISSUE IS HUGE AND NISSAN SHOULD DO A RECALL. NOT EVERYONE HAS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO KEEP PAYING FOR THE SAME ISSUE MONTH AFTER MONTH.

MY AIR BAGS LIGHT POPPED ON AUTOMATICALLY AND NEVER WENT OFF AND I HAD JUST CRANKED MY CAR UP AND WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. EVERY LIGHT WENT OFF EXCEPT MY TWO AIR BAG LIGHTS

HOOD OF THE CAR RANDOMLY POPPED OPEN. WENT TO SHUT IT AND IT FELT AS IF THERE WAS TENSION WHEN TRYING TO CLOSE. DROVE IT AGAIN AND THE HOOD POPPED OPEN AGAIN. WASN'T FULLY OPEN AS THE SAFETY LATCH WAS STILL WORKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SMART KEY WAS REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES BECAUSE THE BATTERY WAS ALWAYS DYING. THE FAILURE PREVENTED THE CONTACT FROM LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE DOORS. ROUND ROCK NISSAN (3050 NORTH I-35, ROUND ROCK, TX 78681) STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN TSB NUMBER: 16-028. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG OFF INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHILE THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. THE CONTACT CALLED AN UNKNOWN DEALER IN NEWBURGH, NY AND WAS INFORMED TO BRING IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V911000 (AIR BAGS). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

NISSAN ALTIMA 2015 REQUIRES THE PRESS OF THE START BUTTON AND BRAKE TO START ENGINE. THE ENGINE WILL NOT START DUE TO STIFF BRAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE MOMENT THIS ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED.

AIR BAG LIGHT WENT ON SO WE TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE. VEHICLE HAS 60K MILES AND HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. ED MARTIN FISHERS IN NISSAN SAID THAT REPLACING THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG MAY FIX THE ISSUE. ITS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THE REPLACEMENT IS APPROXIMATELY $1400. HOW IS THIS NOT A COVERED RECALL OR WARRANTY ISSUE. IT SHOULD'T BE A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM AND THERE IS NOTHING WE DID TO BREAK THE AIR BAG?

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE HAVE ALWAYS SUPPLIED POOR LIGHTING AND IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE EACH YEAR TO THE POINT NOW IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. WE HAVE EVEN TRIED REPLACING THE BULBS AT OUR OWN EXPENSE WITH BRIGHTER ONES BUT IT DOES NOT HELP. ACCORDING TO STANHOPE NISSAN IT IS A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IT CAN ONLY BE RESOLVED BY REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES WHICH WOULD COST OVER $1000. WE HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT IT DOES NOT COVER IT. I TRIED CONTACTING NISSAN WITH THIS ISSUE AND THEY DON'T CARE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL, PERIOD.

I AM TOLD AT THE NISSAN DEALER THAT THEY KNOW THAT THE PROJECTION LENS ON THE HEADLIGHTS ONLY LAST ABOUT 2 YEARS AND THEN THE CUSTOMER MUST SPEND ABOUT $1200 TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLYS. THE DIM HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM, ON UNLIT ROADS, YOU MUST RUN THE BRIGHTS AT ALL TIMES IN ORDER TO SEE THE ROAD AND THE CURB. NISSAN DOES NOT HONOR ANY TYPE OF WARRANTY ON THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER THEY HAVE GIVEN THEIR SERVICE DEPT A BULLITIN SO THAT THEY KNOW OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR OPENED ON ITS OWN AT RANDOM. THE CONTACT HAD TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN TO LATCH THE DOOR, BUT THE DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK. THE DOOR UNLOCKED WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NEW SOUTH FORD (1200 NORTH FRONTAGE ROAD, MERIDIAN, MS 39031, (888) 431-2518), BUT IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS OPENED. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO CALL NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,300.

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 75MPH AND THE CAR STARTS JERKING AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE I BELIEVED THE CAR WOULD STOP. I MANAGED TO TO GET OUT OF THE FREEWAY WITH THE SPEED COMING DOWN AND THEN MY CAR GAVE OUT . IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. SOMETIMES I AM AT A REDLIGHT AND MY CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I HAVE 70,000 MILES ON MY CAR.

I PARKED THE CAR FOR A FEW MINUTES LEFT IT IDLING. WHEN I RETURNED, STRAPPED MY CHILD IN THE CAR SEAT THEN GOT IN WAITING FOR HER MOTHER. WHEN SHE GOT IN PULLED OUT OF THE SPOT THE CAR HESITATED TO ACCELERATE, I DROVE A FEW MILES IN WHAT I GOT TO KNOW AS LIMP MODE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON. WHEN WE REACHED DESTINATION, TURN CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON IT WAS FINE. RETURNED THEM HOME THEN ON MY WAY HOME IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I DIAGNOSED THE CAR AND GOT P0776 SOLENOID STUCK/OFF. IT SEEMS THESE CARS HAVE AN ISSUE NOT BEING ADDRESSED I JUST BUY THE CAR WITH 68000 MILES IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN I'M GOING TO THE DEALER AND THEY BETTER FIX IT AT NO COST TO ME OR GIVE ME ANOTHER CAR I DON'T NEED EXPENSIVE PROBLEMS. WHY HASN'T THESE CAR BEEN RECALLED. CLEARLY THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.
