2015 Nissan Altima complaints

BRAKES HAVE BEEN SQUEEKING FOR A YEAR. TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY CLAIMED BRAKE DUST AND THAT THEY ARE CERAMIC BRAKES. UTTERLY ANNOYING AND IT IS ONLY A YEAR OLD. SQUEEK HAPPENS ANYTIME BRAKE IS PRESSED.

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES, THEY SQIUK ALL THE TIME. THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSER MY CAR IS ONLY A 2015. THIS IS NOT RIGHT.

SINCE ORIGINAL PURCHASE (NEW) 11/30/14, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR SYSTEM HAS NOT WORKED CORRECTLY. 3 COMPLAINTS ( ON SITE, IN WRITING) THRU NISSAN DEALER HAVE NOT CORRECTED PROBLEM. QUESTION IS, WILL PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WORK IF IN A COLLISION? MALFUNCTION MAY RESULT IN MAJOR INJURY OR DEATH. DEALERS ONLY EXPLANATION IS TO WAIT 15 SECONDS BEFORE DRIVING WITH A PASSENGER. INDICATOR SYSTEM WORKS AND FAILS INDISCRIMINATELY.

THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY INDICATES THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS OFF WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS GENERALLY HAPPENS WHEN I FIRST TURN THE VEHICLE ON AND THERE IS SOMEONE ALREADY SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. IF I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON THEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL GO OFF INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAG IS ON. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE COMPUTER DOES NOT SHOW A PROBLEM AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WAS UNDER WARRANTY THROUGH 99,999 MILES OR 2030 IF THERE IS AN INCIDENT IT WOULD BE COVERED. THAT IS NOT VERY REASSURING TO HEAR THAT IF THE AIRBAG FAILS IT WILL BE COVER UNDER WARRANTY.

LOW BEAMS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT. EVEN HARDER TO SEE IF THERE IS RAIN. REPLACING THE BULB TO THE HIGHEST DEGREE DOES NOT SOLVE PROBLEM. MANY OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN IS AWARE BUT HAS NOT RECALLED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I CAN ONLY SEE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS. THIS CAUSES PROBLEMS FOR OTHER DRIVERS. PLEASE AT LEAST INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY TO ABOUT 30 MPH AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. SOON AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK MY CAR TO AUTOZONE AND DID A SYSTEM CHECK, I RECEIVED THE ERROR CODE P2101 DETECTING THE THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL TO BE AN ISSUE. THE NEXT DAY, WHEN MY CAR WAS IN PARK MY RPMS WERE UP TO 2,000. WHEN BEGINNING TO DRIVE, I WOULD RELEASE THE BRAKE AND WITHOUT HITTING THE GAS I WOULD GO UPWARDS OF 25 MPH. THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT I DRIVE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT MATTER AND THERE IS NO IN BETWEEN, THE CAR IS EITHER REARING TO GO OR WANTS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTOEASTERN NISSAN OF MEADOWLANDS DEALER LOCATED AT 45 S, RTE 17, HASBROUCK HEIGHTS, NJ WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE AND THE VALVE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED TO PARTIALLY PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 67,600.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, A VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE KNEE, NECK, BACK, AND RIGHT HAND, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TAKATA RECALL: BOTH MY PREVIOUS NISSAN ALTIMA 2007 AND MY CURRENT ALTIMA HAS SPORADIC SIGNALS OF THE AIRBAG BEING OFF WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. SINCE IT IS INCONSISTENT I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO TAKE TO DEALER TO PINPOINT THIS ISSUE. I FEEL THAT IT MAY BE A SAFETY ISSUE. I AM THE PASSENGER AND HEAVY ENOUGH TO ACTIVATE AIRBAG. THIS FORM DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO SHOW HOW MANY TIMES OR DATES THIS HAPPENS.

GREETINGS, I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT TO NOTIFY THE NHTSA OF A DEADLY PROBLEM WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN THE NISSAN ALTIMA! I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS WHERE THE VEHICLE EITHER TURNS OFF, STUTTERS, OR AND HESITATES FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. THIS HESITATION IS DEADLY BECAUSE WHEN PULLING OUT OR MERGING ON TO A HIGHWAY THERE IS LOSS OF POWER AND THIS WILL CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT DUE TO THE VEHICLE NOT ACCELERATING AS EXPECTED. IN FACT, THIS ISSUE IS SO PREVALENT THAT NISAAN REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM). THIS HALF MEASURE IS LITTLE TOO LITTLE TOO LATE AS TRANSMISSION DAMAGE HAS ALREADY OCCURRED AND IT LEADS TO PREMATURE FAILURE. THIS FAILURE LEADS TO THE VEHICLE BEING A HAZARD IN TRAFFIC. I PERSONALLY HAVE DOZENS OF ACCOUNTS WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. THE MOST RECENT WAS ON 12/11/17 WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET WHEN THE CAR SIMPLY LOST POWER AND DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. A CAR BEHIND SWERVED EXCESSIVELY TO AVOID HITTING ME AND IN DOING ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT WITH ANOTHER MOTORIST! THE CAR HAD TO BE PUSHED INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND CONFIRMED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I FOUND THIS RATHER DUBIOUS AS THE VEHICLE IS A 2015. I BEGAN INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE FURTHER. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I FOUND THIS PROBLEM IS EXTREMLY PREVALENT WITH THIS MODEL. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF INCIDENTS OF OWNERS HAVING AN EXPERIENCE AKIN TO MINE. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS YET TO

THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF

I BOUGHT OUR 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA S BRAND NEW FROM FENTON NISSAN EAST, IN DEL CITY, OK, IN LESS THAN A YEAR, THE BRAKES STARTS MAKING VERY LOUD SQUEAKY NOISES, WHENEVER THE CAR IS IN MOTION, AND I APPLY THE BRAKES. I TOOK THIS CAR TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, AT HUDIBURG NISSAN DEALERSHIP, OKLAHOMA CITY, OK AND THEY DID SOMETHING TO IT THAT GOT RID OF NOISE FOR A WEEK, THEN, THE HIGH PITCHED NOISE CAME BACK, WHEN IN MOTION AND I APPLY THE BRAKES. A LITTLE LATER, I TOOK MY CAR TO FENTON NISSAN EAST DEALERSHIP IN DEL CITY, AND THE SERVICE WOMAN SAID "I HAVE LOTS OF CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE NISSAN ALTIMA CARS AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE BUT SWITCH OUT THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER. SHE SAID IT WOULD COST ME $400.00 OR LIVE WITH THE NOISE." I BELIEVE THIS IS A HAZARDOUS ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED BECAUSE THE BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. TODAY, DECEMBER 14, 2017 THE HIGH PITCHED NOISE IS PRETTY CONSTANT, WHENEVER I DRIVE THE CAR AND APPLY MY NISSAN ALTIMA S BRAKES. GOD FORBID, THAT I EVER HAVE TO APPLY MY BRAKES QUICKLY. YES, I AM AFRAID THAT MY BRAKES WILL GIVE OUT, IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH UPHILL, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ROLLED BACKWARDS. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NISSAN WORLD (146 US-22, SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP, NJ 07081), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 61,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL

I GOT MY NISSAN IN DECEMBER 2015 I HAD IT ALMOST 2 YEARS NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DEAL SAID THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY ...SHOULD MY CAR HAVE ENGINE PROBLEMS AT 2 YEARS OLD?

I OWN A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA - AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN I95 SOUTH IN WASHINGTON DC, THE CAR STARTING REVVING AND JERKING. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, AND WHILE DRIVING 65 MILES PER HOUR, IT BECAME VERY UNSAFE. I BROUGHT IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION (CVT) IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED - $4300 AND NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY BECAUSE OF 79K MILES ON THE CAR. I CHECKED ON-LINE AND THEIR SEEMS TO BE A TON OF CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH NISSAN, TO INCLUDE SOME CLASS ACTION SUITS. WHEN TALKING TO THE SERVICE REP HERE, HE SAID THEY SEE IT ALL THE TIME. I AM NOT SURE WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON THIS. DRIVING A RELATIVELY NEW CAR (2 YEARS OLD) THAT STOPS / REVS / JERKS WITH OUT WARNING IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING!

TAKATA RECALL - IS THIS VEHICLE SUBJECT TO RECALL? ALSO, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS WILL ONLY DEPLOY WHEN THE PASSENGER WEIGHS OVER ~110 LBS. MY WIFE IS 5'2" & WEIGHS 106 LBS. WHICH IS THE PROPER WEIGHT FOR SOMEONE HER SIZE. WHEN SHE SITS IN THE SEAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINS ON, TELLING US SHE IS NOT PROTECTED BY AIRBAGS. IF 40,000+ PEOPLE LIVES HAVE BEEN SAVED BY AIRBAGS, WHY DOES THE INDUSTRY ALLOW LIGHTER WEIGHT PASSENGERS TO NOT BE PROTECTED? IS THIS A RECALL ISSUE?

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON MEANING AIR BAG IS OFF WITH A PASSENGER IN SEAT

"TAKATA RECALL" I'VE ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR A MONTH I BOUGHT IT ON 9/15/2017. NOW MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM HOUSTON AUTO GROUP

TAKATA RECALL PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR IS FUNCTIONING ABNORMALLY. IT WILL SHOW THE AIRBAG OFF WHEN THERE IS NO ONE AND NOTHING IN THE SEAT AT TIMES AND THEN WILL SHOW THE AIRBAG TO BE FUNCTIONING AT OTHERS. IT WILL ALSO BE ERRATIC WHEN I AM SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SIDE. I WEIGHT 120 LBS. MOST TIMES THE AIRBAG WILL SHOW IT IS OFF AND ONLY REGISTER ON FOR BRIEF PERIODS.

MY CAR CAUGHT FIRE AND WAS TOTALED. I HAD BEEN SMELLING SOMETHING THE DAY BEFORE IT CAUGHT ON FIRE. I WAS DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET AND I SMELLED THE SMELL I HAD BEEN SMELLING STRONGER AND I LOOKED AT THE HOOD AND IT WAS SMOKING. I PULLED OVER AND MORE SMOKING STARTED POURING OUT FROM MY CAR. THEN THE DASHBOARD WENT OFF. I GOT OUT AND CALLED 911 AND BY THE TIME THEY GOT THERE THE FRONT OF MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. AFTER IT WAS PUT OUT THE FIRE HAD BURNED THROUGH JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING UNDER THE HOOD.

AIR BAG LIGHT STAY'S ON THAT AIR IS OFF WITH A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT

AIR BAG LIGHT ON DASH REMAINS ON. PASSENGER AIR BAG REMAINS OFF WHEN OCCUPENT IS SEATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF THE PARK POSITION WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE TOW MAN MENTIONED THE SHIFT BUTTON FAILED TO DEPRESS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO PEORIA NISSAN (9151 W BELL RD, PEORIA, AZ, 85382), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000.

TAKATA RECALL. THIS VEHICLE WAS TOTALLED IN AN ACCIDENT ON JANUARY 17, 2017. THROUGH THE FAULT OF THE DRIVER, EVEN THOUGH ALL OF THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF, THERE WAS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE CAR. CITIZENS HANOVER COMPANY HAD IT TOTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. .UPDATED 11/09/17 *BF UPDATED 8/21/18*JB

AT VERY LOW SPEED (AS IN SEARCHING FOR A PARKING SPACE) THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE, WITHOUT WARNING, AND THEN FALL BACK TO AN IDLE. MY CURRENT 2015 ALTIMA IS AT THE BODY SHOP NOW BECAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT (DUE TO THIS UNANNOUNCED ACCELERLATION) WHERE MY WIFE RAN THROUGH A WALL AT RITEAID DRUGS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PARKING SPACE AND ALMOST COMPLETELY STOPPED WHEN IT ACCELERATED. MY WIFE WAS NOT BADLY INJURED, BUT COULD HAVE BEEN, NOT OT MENTION ANY PEDESTRIANS THAT MIGHT HAVE WALKED IN FRONT OF THE HER CAR. I HAVE POLICE REPORT, PICS, ETC., BUT UNABLE TO LOAD THEM. I COMPLAINED TO TENNESON NISSAN ABOUT THIS AND SEVERAL OTHER ISSUES AT THE 5000 MILE SERVICE VISIT, TO NO AVAIL.UPDATED 11/08/17 *BF ...UPDATED 11/14/17 *BF UPDATED 11/16/2017*JS UPDATED 11/17/2017*JS

HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM AFTER REACHING ABOUT 75,000 MILES. I MOSTLY DO DAY DRIVING FOR WORK, BUT USE THE CAR A NIGHT FOR HOME USE TOO. I'VE REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS TWICE NOW -EACH TIME GETTING THE NEXT BRIGHTER VERSION HEADLIGHT, BUT THEY'RE STILL, LITERALLY AS BRIGHT AS A CANDLE. CARS BEHIND ME CAST SHADOW IN FRONT OF ME AT NIGHT AND I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING UNLESS I PUT ON MY BRIGHTS. CARS IN FRONT OF ME GET ANNOYED WITH MY BRIGHTS.

WHEN STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP, PRESSING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDDLE NO FORWARD CAR ACCELERATION, NO INCREASE IN RPM. AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME ( 2-3) SECONDS FAST INCREASE IN RPM AND FAST FORWARD ACCELERATION. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE WHEN TRYING TO MERGE FROM A DEAD STOP AND EXPECTING FORWARD MOTION AND THERE IS NONE. THIS HAS BEEN A NISSAN PROBLEM SINCE 2008 AND NO FIX OR TEST WHEN TAKEN TO DEALER. THIS IS A SPORADIC PROBLEM ONLY NOTICED FROM A DEAD STOP, CITY STREETS GOING STRAIGHT OR MAKING TURN ON START, GAS TANK QUANTITY NO ISSUE IN THIS PROBLEM.

WHEN USING SPEED CONTROL, THE VEHICLE SURGES ON SLIGHT DOWNHILL INCLINES. IT REPEATEDLY BEHAVES AS IF THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED THEN THE BRAKE.

HAS A HESITATION ON TAKE OFF, LIKE IT DOES NOT MOVE WHEN YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATOR. A VERY BAD DEAD SPOT. MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY OR STANDING BY A STOPLIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN WE STOP AT A STOPLIGHT, THE CAR WON'T MOVE FORWARD

WHEN PLACED ON PARK THE CAR STILL ROLLS FORWARD OR BACK AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR PULLS WHEN DRIVING IN A SLOW SPEED OF 5-20 MPR AND SOMETIMES THE FLOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE VIBRATE. ALSO, THE ELECTRICAL BUTTONS LOCATED ON THE STEERING WHEEL ARE UNABLE TO BE USED WHEN ON PARKED OR DRIVING. THE VOLUME OR PHONE OR SELECTION SWITCH DOES NOT WORK AGAIN...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD A DROWNING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE THAT BECAME INCREASINGLY LOUDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOB JOHNSON NISSAN (4000 W RIDGE RD, ROCHESTER, NY 14626) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION FOR FREE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

MY VEHICLE HAS AN ISSUE WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS NOT ACTIVE WHEN AN ADULT OCCUPANT IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHTS UP AND INDICATES THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS "OFF" WHEN AN ADULT OCCUPANT IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000) FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM ONMY VEHICLE. HOWEVER, WHEN I ENTER MY VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER INTO THE NHTSA WEBSITE, IT DOES NOT SHOW ANY OUTSTANDING RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. NHTSA AND NISSAN SHOULD DOUBLE CHECK THE VEHICLES AFFECTED AS PART OF THE RECALL. THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES AFFECTED MAYBE GREATER THAN ORIGINALLY ESTIMATED SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, YET IT IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOM AS OUTLINED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CVT FLUID FLOODED THE TRANSMISSION WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (HOWELL MOTORS IN SUMMIT, MS, 601-276-7711), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE INTERIOR OF THE TRANSMISSION WAS DETERIORATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH LACK OF ACCELERATION WHEN IN TRAFFIC, CAR WILL NOT MOVE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PUSHED NO RESPONSE OTHER THAN A TURTLE CRAWL. BECAME VERY RANDOM IN BEGINNING ROUGHLY 2-4 MONTHS AGO PROGRESSING INTO DAILY TO AND FROM WORK, INITIALLY IT SEEMED TO BE MORE FREQUENT WHEN CAR WAS HOT OR AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURES AND NOW IS STILL SPORADIC BUT HAPPENS SOMETIMES WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF OPERATION. THE NEXT ISSUE IS THE HORN WILL NOT SOUND UNLESS IT IS HIT IN A VERY SPECIFIC WAY, I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES AND THE INABILITY TO REMEMBER HOW TO HIT THE SWEET SPOT IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. LATER TODAY I WILL BE MAKING VIDEOS OF THIS DEFAULT AND THEN TAKING TO DEALER FOR THE SECOND TIME TO HAVE REPAIRED OR REPLACED.

I BOUGHT A USED 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA ON 6/23/2017 WITH APPROX. 47,000. AROUND 6/30/17 THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING OVER 40MPH AND THE RPM WAS GOING ALL THE WAY OVER TO 8 & 9. THE CAR SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS NOT SHIFTING INTO GEAR. I HAD TO PULL OVER, CUT OFF THE CAR AND CRANK IT BACK UP AGAIN. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN, WHEN I'M AT A LIGHT THAT THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE OVER 5-10 MPH AND I HAVE THE PEDAL PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN IN TUSCALOOSA, AL ON 08/21/17 TO CORRECT THE CVT TRANSMISSION OPEN RECALL. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM DUE TO THEM NOT FINDING ANY CODES AND TEST DRIVING THE CAR. I THOUGHT THE TRANSMISSION HAD BLOWN UP ON 08/21/17 AND HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER (MY SON WAS IN THE CAR) ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

TAKATA INFLATOR. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM A NISSAN DEALER ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. IT STATED THAT I SHOULD BRING IN MY VEHICLE TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER AIR. WHEN I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD BE CALLED BY THE DEALER WHEN THE THEY RECEIVE THE AIR BAG FROM THE MANUFACTURER. I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE DEALER. WHEN I CHECKED NHTSA WEBSITE, IT DID NOT SHOW MY VEHICLE AS A RECALLED VEHICLE. I AM CONFUSED. IS THE DEALER BEING HONEST. PREVIOUSLY, THE DEALER HAD REQUESTED THAT I BRING IN MY VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED. ON ANOTHER OCCASION I WAS ALSO TOLD TO BRING IN MY VEHICLE FOR A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE REPAIR WAS PROPERLY COMPLETED. WHAT ACTION CAN I TAKE IN REFERENCE TO THE MOST RECENT REQUEST TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG? THE DATE I RECEIVED IS APPROXIMATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE KEY FOB FAILED TO START THE ENGINE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT ODOR OF FUEL AND ANTIFREEZE EMITTED INSIDE THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CLAY NISSAN DEALER, IN NORWOOD, MA WHERE THE TECHNICIAN TOLD THE CONTACT "WE DO NOT WANTED TO SEE YOUR FACE AROUND HERE AGAIN.' THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,108.

FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT ON DASH REMAINS ON, IN THE "OFF" LIT POSITION EVEN WITH A PASSENGER RIDING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE PROBLEM COMES AND GOES INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES IT IS ON AND SOMETIMES IT IS OFF NO MATTER IF YOU ARE ON A CITY STREET OR GOING 60 MPH DOWN A HIGHWAY.

CAR JUST CUTS OFF WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS HOT

I WAS ON MY WAY TO MY DESTINATION AND EVERY TIME I WOULD PRESS THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. IT WOULD HESITATE TO GO. THEN LATER THAT AFTERNOON I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND THE CAR TURNED OFF. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AT ALL AND I HAD PLENTY OF GAS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE UNDERGOING AN OIL CHANGE, THE DEALER (MODERN NISSAN) COULD NOT OPEN THE HOOD. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE HOOD LATCH WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT REFUSED TO HAVE THE REPAIR COMPLETED DUE TO THE VEHICLE SHARING SIMILAR SYMPTOMS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V029000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT RECALLS WERE VIN SPECIFIC AND THE CONTACT'S VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000.

2015 NISSAN ALTIMA WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON 12 JUNE 2017. WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE, APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH TRAFFIC CAME TO A COMPLETE AND SUDDEN STOP.THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE FRONT WAS CRUSHED BACK ABOUT A FOOT. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN THIS ACCIDENT. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO SERIOUS INJURIES OTHER THAN SEAT BELT BRUISES. INSURANCE ADJUSTER STATED HE WAS VERY SURPRISED AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE IS BEING HELD PENDING INVESTIGATION BY NISSAN. I BELIEVE THE NHTSA SHOULD INVESTIGATE ALSO BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.

WHEN DROPPING A FRIEND OFF AT HIS HOUSE HE UNBUCKLED HIS SEATBELT GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND THE RED SEAT BELT LIGHT CAME ON ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINED OFF SHOWING THE AIRBAG WAS STILL ALIVE RATHER THAN LIGHTING UP TO SHOW THAT IT IS OFF. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE DEALER TO REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER TWICE TO CHECK WHY WHEN A PASSENGER SET IN THE SEAT THE AIRBAG DID NOT SHOW ACTIVE COMMA AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS BEEN REPLACED BY NISSAN FOR TEST PURPOSES. THE WARNING SYSTEMS REMAINED ON AS IF SOMEONE WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT UNTIL I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT AT A LATER TIME.

MANUFACTURE DATE 10/14. VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AFTER AN OIL CHANGE WITH FILTER. ALSO THE CABIN AIR FILTER WAS REPLACED. THE ENGINE AIR FILTER WAS NOT REPLACED. 1.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE ENTIRELY INADEQUATE TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LIGHT INTENSITY AND FAIL TO SAFELY ILLUMINATE THE STREET AHEAD OF YOU. THIS CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, WHILE RAINING, OR UNDER ANY LOW VISIBILITY CONDITIONS SINCE YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO SEE OBJECTS. THIS ISSUE WAS NOT PRESENT WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW, BUT BECAME A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AROUND 50,000 MILES. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS AT NIGHT TO BE ABLE TO SAFELY SEE. SOMETIMES, WHEN I SWITCH TO LOW FOR AN ONCOMING VEHICLE, I SUDDENLY FIND MYSELF DRIVING COMPLETELY WITHOUT SUFFICIENT LIGHT.

TAKING CAR IN AGAIN 3RD TIME / SOUR SMELL FROM VENTS. HAPPENS EVERY TIME I WASH CAR OR IT RAINS. VERY STRONG, FIRST DAY SMELLS LIKE WET DOG, DAY 2SMELLS SOUR.
