2015 Nissan Altima complaints

MY VEHICLE GOES INTO "LIMP MODE" (THE DEALERSHIP USED THIS TERM) SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING. I WAS DRIVING 35 MPH AND SUDDENLY IT WON'T GO EVEN 20 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 5 OCCASIONS. MOST RECENTLY LAST WEEK. 1ST TIME AT 20K MILES I HAD THE VALVE BODY REPLACED, 2ND TIME THE CVT WAS REPROGRAMMED, 3RD TIME THERE WERE NO CODES, 4TH TIME THE CVT WAS REPROGRAMMED AND NOW 5TH TIME AT 51K MILES THE VALVE BODY IS BEING REPLACED AGAIN. I NOTICED THE ISSUE STARTING WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING OR EVEN FROM A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO INVESTIGATE (THIS IS THE 2ND TIME I ASKED THEM TO INVESTIGATE). THIS FINAL TIME I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE GETTING A NEW TRANSMISSION SINCE 7 CODES SHOWED ON THE SCAN BUT THEY JUST CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THEY REPLACED THE VALVE BODY AGAIN.

I OWN A 2015 ALTIMA. I NOTICED I WAS HAVING TROUBLE SEEING AT NIGHT, SO I ASKED MY MECHANIC HOW MUCH NEW HEADLIGHTS WOULD COST. WHILE THEY WERE LOOKING OVER THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY THEY NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS APPEARED TO BE MELTING THE ASSEMBLY, CAUSING THE LIGHT TO DISTORT; HENCE MY TROUBLE SEEING AT NIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR TO MILFORD NISSAN WHO LOOKED IT OVER AND CHECKED ALL THE WIRING BUT SAID THAT THE DISTORTION WAS NOT THEIR ISSUE AS THE CAR HAS 48,000 MILES ON IT AND IS NO LONGER PROTECTED. I STATED THIS MADE NO SENSE TO ME AS THE CAR IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD, AND WHAT EXACTLY DOES MILEAGE HAVE TO DO WITH HOW ELL THE HEADLIGHTS WORK. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT. AGAIN I ASKED FOR MORE CLARIFICATION AND STATED WOULD CONTACT NISSAN USA, AND AGAIN TOLD THIS WOULD REQUIRE A WHOLE NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND THEY WERE NOT PAYING FOR IT. I DID AND THEY INVESTIGATED, AND SAID THE ISSUE WAS LOOKED AT BY THEIR DEALER AND IT FELL UNDER WEAR AND TEAR AND WAS NOT COVERED. I ASKED HOW EXACTLY THIS FELL UNDER WEAR AND TEAR AS HEADLIGHT AND MILEAGE ARE NOT CONNECTED, AND I AM UNABLE TO SEE CLEARLY AT NIGHT, AND THIS IS A NISSAN BUILD ISSUE, AND THEREFORE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT AND THE CASE WAS CLOSED. I ASKED FOR SOMETHING IN WRITING AS I CANNOT SEE AT NIGHT AND WANT SOMETHING SAYING NISSAN LOOKED AT IT AND SATED THEIR WAS NOT A PROBLEM WORTH FIXING ON THEIR END, AND THAT YOU WOULD NOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY. MY WIFE AND I LOOKED ON LINE AND NOTICED THAT OTHE

WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY, I CHANGED LANE TO PASS OTHER CAR AND WHEN PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL RPM WAS GOING UP, BUT I WAS NOT GAINING MORE SPEED. I WAS DOING 60 MPH AND I COULD NOT MAKE THE CAR TO GO UP FIVE MORE MPH AND REVS WERE GOING UP.

PUSH BUTTON START DOESN'T WORK DUE TO FAULTY STEERING WHEEL LOCK SYSTEM. CAR WILL NOT START UNLESS I USE REMOTE START, OPEN AND CLOSE DOOR THEN HIT BRAKE.

FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG OCCUPANT SENSOR - PREVIOUSLY HAD DEALER REPROGRAM SENSOR AS THE AIR BAG OFF LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE EVEN WHEN A PASSENGER WAS PRESENT. THIS SITUATION STILL SPORADICALLY OCCURS. HAVE VEHICLE AT NISSAN DEALER TO RE-PROGRAM AGAIN. THIS WILL MAKE THE 2ND ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. WAS INFORMED THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A TEST REQUIREMENT TO PERFORM AFTER THE RECALIBRATION. WILL ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE NEXT OCCURRENCE BY PHOTO.

WATER LEAKING INTO CABIN AT FIREWALL - PREVIOUSLY NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER FLOOR MAT AND CARPETING WAS DAMP ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. APPLYING WATER TO THE WINDSHIELD RESULTED IN WATER DRIPPING DOWN THE INSIDE FIREWALL AND DRIPPING ONTO THE FLOOR MAT AND CARPETING. CURRENTLY AT DEALER BEING EVALUATED IF THIS IS A FAILED PART OR A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. SINCE CAR CABINS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO BE IN A WET ENVIRONMENT, THIS MAY LEAD TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND MOLD/MILDEW GROWTH WITHIN THE CAR'S INTERIOR. HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CALL NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPT TODAY 1ST ATTEMPT RECEIVED MESSAGE TO CALL BACK DURING NORMAL WORKING HOURS, ALTHOUGH IS WAS, AND 2ND TIME WAS ON HOLD FOR OVER 26 MINUTES WITH NO ANSWER.

I HAVE A SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO FIX MY CVT. ALSO, MY CAR WAS VANDALIZED AND THE FRONT EMBLEM WAS STOLEN AND THE BOTTOM CASE HAS BEEN LOOSENED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DRIFTED FROM RIGHT TO LEFT INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS WERE UNKNOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

POWER STEERING LEAKS CONTIUOSLY.

EXPLODING SUNROOF. WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY THE SUNROOF EXPLODED EMITTING A LOUD NOISE AND RAINING GLASS SHARDS AND SPLINTERS INTO THE THE VEHICLE. THESE SHARDS AND GLASS SPLINTERS COVERED THE DRIVER, AND VEHICLE OCCUPANTS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND IN THE REAR SEAT OF THE VEHICLE. THE PERSON SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT HAD GLASS IN HER EYE AND HAIR. THE PASSENGER IN THE REAR SEAT HAD GLASS SLIVERS IN HER HAIR AND ALL OVER HER CLOTHING. NOTE: THE PHOTOS SHOW THE INTERIOR SHADE CLOSED. AT THE TIME OF THE EXPLOSION THE INTERIOR SHADE WAS OPEN ALLOWING THE GLASS TO BLOW INTO THE CAR INTERIOR. NEW ENGLAND CABLE NEWS HAD A "CONSUMER ALERT" SEGMENT ON EXPLODING SUNROOFS AIR DATE APRIL 12TH, 2016. IN THERE SEGMENT THEY INDICATED THE NHTSA WAS INVESTIGATING KIA AND OTHER CAR MANUFACTURES FOR SUNROOF DEFECTS. SAFETY GLASS "THE SAME MATERIAL USED IN AUTO WINDSHIELDS" SHOULD BE USED IN ALL FUTURE SUNROOF DESIGNS. THIS WOULD PREVENT GLASS FORM ENTERING THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE/DEFECT.

WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A TURN I RANDOMLY LOSE ALL POWER STEERING. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE I'VE OWNED THE CAR. I AM A SECOND OWNER AND HAVE DRIVEN IT 4,000 MILES.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON PASSENGER SIDE SEAT INDICATING AIR BAG OFF,WITH PASSENGER SITTING IN SEAT(PASSENGER WEIGHS OVER 115 #. I HAVE BROUGHT CAR IN FOR SEAT AND AIR BAG RECALL! BROUGHT IN 2 MORE TIMES FOR SAME PROBLEM. STILL SAME PROBLEMS. CONTACTED NISSAN CORP AND TOLD PROBLEM. AS TOLD BY NISSAN REP THAT THEY SPOKE WITH DEALERSHIP THAT ALL WAS DONE TO CORRECT PROBLEM AND KNOWN OF ANYTHING THAT THEY COULD DO FOR PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM DOES THIS ERRATICALLY WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. I M AM AFRAID TO USE AUTO WITH PASS IN SEAT NOT KNOWING IF AIR BAG WOULD WORK IN CASE OF A ACCIDENT.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, A BRIGHT YELLOW WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATED. GEARS STICK OCCASIONALLY. SMOKE SMELL OCCURRING. VEHICLE SEEMS TO GET WORSE WHEN GOING DOWN A HILL. WILL NOT GO HIGHER THAN 10 MPH WHEN THIS OCCURS.

HOOD FLIES UP RANDOMLY DUE TO LATCH RECALL. RESULTED IN SCRATCHES AS I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WENT TO TWO DEALERSHIPS TO HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED. NISSAN REFUSED TO COVER DAMAGES STATING THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO PROVE ITS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INCIDENT. YOU TRY DRIVING WITH HOOD IN YOUR FACE AND SEE IF YOU CAN AVOID NOT KILLING YOURSELF...UPDATED 03/01/17 *BF *CN

WHILE DRIVING IN ANY CONDITION OR WEATHER, MY CAR SHUTTERS AND MAKE A LOUD VIBRATION NOISE WHICH IS ALSO FELT INSIDE THE CAR WHENEVER THE RPM REACHES 2000 RPM. IT ONLY DOES IT ON EXACTLY 2000. ABOVE OR BELOW ITS FINE. IVE BEEN TO TWO DIFFERENT NISSAN DEALERSHIPS FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS OF OWNING IT AND THEY TELL ME ITS NORMAL. IN COLDER WEATHER ITS A LOT WORSE. YOU CAN PLAY WITH THE RPM AND EVERYTIME IT WILL VIBRATE AND YOU CAN HEAR AND FEEL IT AT 2000 RPM. BUT BOTH DEALERS SAY THEY CANT FIND ANYTHING AND THAT THEY DON'T NOTICE IT. THAT WORRIES ME WHEN A 5 YEAR OLD ASKS ME WHAT THAT NOISE AND FEELING IS BUT A CERTIFIED MECHANIC CANT FIND THIS PROBLEM. ITS LOUD AND CLEARLY YOU CAN FEEL IT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. ALL I WANT IS FOR IT TO BE FIXED. IF NOT I'M NEVER BUYING ANOTHER NISSAN PRODUCT. IVE HAD THE WORST EXPERIENCE WITH THIS BRAND AND IVE OWNED A LOT OF BRANDS. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS AND SPEND MORE MONEY ON TRAINING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 2 YEARS THAT IVE OWNED THIS CAR.

HUBAND WAS DRIVING DOWN M IN STREET WHEN CAR LOST POWER AND DIED OUT.

AFTER THE AIRBAG MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED SO THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS EMPTY MY BROTHER WHO WEIGHS 240 POUNDS SAT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AFTER I STARTED THE CAR AND WE DROVE AWAY THE LIGHT DID NOT GO OUT UNTIL 20 MINUTES PAST. MY CONCERN IS DOES THE SYSTEM THINK HE IS UNDER 50 POUNDS?

NISSAN HAD A HOOD RELEASE ISSUE WHICH RESULTED IN A RECALL. MY HOOD POPPED UP AND RESULTED IN SCRATCHES TO BOTH SIDES OF MY CAR. I REPORTED IT TO NISSAN AND THEY WILL NOT COVER IT. I WENT TO RUSS DARROW NISSAN MILWAUKEE TO FIX, HOWEVER IT WAS NOT DONE CORRECTLY. I WENT AMATO NISSAN TO HAVE THE HOOD REPAIRED AGAIN AFTER THE HOOD PIPED UP AGAIN.

NIISSAN HAS TRIED TO REPAIR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG FOUR(4) TIMES. INTERMITTENTLY TURNS OFF WITH PASSENGER IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THEY HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING, BUT WILL NOT TAKE CAR BACK. THIS WAS A RECALL ALREADY ISSUED. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE MY RENTAL CAR IS A 2017 NISSAN ALTIMA & IT DOES THE SAME THING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION OR PARKED & RUNNING. THIS IS A PROBLEM SINCE JUNE 2016. ALL VIDEOES ARE TOO LONG TO ADD.

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY SUN ROOF EXPLODED A VERY LOUD BOOM.GLASS FLEW OUTWARD CAUSING THE GLASS TO SCRATCH THE ROOF AND TRUNK. WENT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND TALKED TO MANGER AND EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED. HE TOLD ME I COULD NOT PROVE THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THERE WAS NOBODY AROUND ME AT THE TIME OF EXPLOSION IT ALSO WAS NOT HOT. IT WAS AT 9:00 AM IN THE MORNING AND WAS 68 DEGREES. MY CAR IS GARAGE KEPT. THIS WEEK OUR LOCAL NEWS STATION HAD A SEGMENT ABOUT SUN ROOFS EXPLODING ON NISSANS WITH OVER 100 REPORTS OF THE VERY SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR. I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN TO FILE A CLAIM ON MY INSURANCE AND PAY MY 500.00 DOLLAR DEDUCTIBLE. I FEEL THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I AM UPSET THAT NISSAN DISMISSED ME KNOWING THEY ALREADY BEEN HAVING COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

NISSAN DEALER PERFORMED TIRE ROTATION AFTER THAT TPMS LIGHT STRART TO SHOW UP, TIRE PRESSURE WAS 33PSI ACORDING TO NISSAN DEALER ,NISSAN MANUAL WAS 30PSI. THE ERROR CONTINUE NISSA ASUME THAT LIGHT SHOWED UP IN EVERY CAR WHEN IS COLD SO I SHOULDNT BE WORRY. I TOLD THEM SO ANNOYED THAT I AM WITH THE LIGHT BECAUSE IF LATER ON I HAVE AN PROBLEM I WOULDNT KNOW. I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE SESNOR RESET OR CHECK THE TIRES. THEY WONT DO ANYTHING THEY DONT LISTEN TO WHAT I TOLD THEM.THE LIGHT WILL SHOW UP WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOVEMENT AND STAY FOR A FEW HOURS AND DISAPPER AND WILL SHOW UP AGAIN .

I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM CANNON NISSAN IN JACKSON, MS. I TOOK MY CAR TO GREAT RIVER NISSAN IN NATCHEZ, MS WHERE I LIVE AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WON'T FIX MY RECALLS SINCE I DIDN'T PURCHASE MY CAR FROM THEM, SO I'M STILL RIDING AROUND WITH THE RECALLS UNTIL I CAN GET TO JACKSON, MS WHICH IS 2.5 HOURS AWAY.

TAKATA RECALL- THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON OCCASIONALLY WHEN AN ADULT IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE BEEN IN TWICE. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 8,000 MILES. NOT HAVING A LOT OF FAITH IN THE AIRBAGS RIGHT NOW. *TR

MY 2015 ALTIMA AIRBAG LIGHTS WERE ON, I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICING ON DECEMBER 23RD TO COVER THE RECALL. ON THE 29TH WITH WIFE IN CAR AIRBAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON DASHBOARD. SENSOR DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY IN SEAT. WIFE WEIGHS OVER 120 POUNDS. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE RECALL, THEIR CAR NEVER RECEIVES THE UPDATE AND CUSTOMERS HAVE TO GO BACK IN REPEATEDLY AND THE PROBLEM IS NEVER RESOLVED. SO AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY NOW WHEN MY WIFE IS A PASSENGER. NISSAN IS NOT REPLACING EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO FIX THE PROBLEM. FOR SOME THE REPROGRAMMING WORKS. FOR OTHERS THEY NEED COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF ELECTRONICS. MY CAR IS GOING BACK IN FOR WHAT THEY CALL "SERVICING" AS THE RECALL WAS ALREADY PREFORMED ON THE VEHICLE.

NISSAN HAS LOOKED AT IT AND SAYS NO PROBLEM FOUND.THE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND WHEN STOPPED. THIS MEANS THAT MY WIFE DOES NOT HAVE A WORKING AIRBAG IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. *TR

REPLACED AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT AND TESTED SYSTEM AIRBAG LIGHT NO LONGER ON.. PER DEALER 9/2/16. 10/27/16 I TOOK BACK TO DEALER AIRBAG LIGHT STILL NOT COMING OFF WITH ADULT PASSENGER MOST OF THE TIME .

UNFORTUNATELY , THIS IS MY SECOND ALTIMA 3.5. IN 2015 NISSAN REPLACED MY 2013 ALTIMA 3.5. I REQUESTED A REPLACEMENT DUE TO THE VEHICLE HAVING STUTTERING AND JERKING ISSUES CAUSING ME TO FEEL UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING.WHILE DRIVING IF I HAD TO DECELERATE IT WOULD HESITATE AND JERK OR PULL WHILE I WAS ACCELERATING. THIS MAINLY HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY BUT WOULD HAPPEN OCCASIONALLY WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS.AS A MOM WITH KIDS I FEEL THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE TO ME BE INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES SINCE OCTOBER2015 AND NOW IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP ON ITS 4TH ATTEMPT.I HAVE CURRENTLY REQUESTED FOR NISSAN TO HELP ME GET INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE, OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE POWER STEERING ON MY 2015 ALTIMA IS VERY HARD TO TURN. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP TWICE AND REPLACED THE FLUID AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS STILL VERY HARD TO TURN. THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR LIGHT IS NOW ON AND I STILL CAN'T TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION THAT NISSAN SHOULD RECALL AND REPAIR. THIS CAR HAS 5200 MILES ON IT AND THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. THE CAR ALSO HAS A VERY HIGH PITCHED WHINE NOISE THAT IS VERY ANNOYING. WE PREVIOUSLY OWNED TOYOTA CAMRYS AND I'D NISSAN DON'T TAKE CARE IF THIS PROBLEM I WILL NOT REFER THEM TO ANYBODY AND GO BACK TO TOYOTA.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,500.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH THE AC IN THE ON POSITION, THE AC WOULD START TO EMIT A STRONG CHEMICAL TOXIC ODOR. THE ODOR IS SO STRONG , IT STAYS ON YOUR CLOTHING UNTIL THEY ARE WASHED. THE ODOR ALSO CAUSING SHORTNESS OF BREATH, WATER EYES, AND MAKES YOUR CHEST HURT AFTER IT HAS BEEN INHALED FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. YOU CAN ALSO TASTE THE ODOR IN YOUR MOUTH AFTER YOU HAVE BEEN OUT OF THE VEHICLE FOR SOME TIME. YOU COULD SMELL THE ODOR OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AS WELL DUE TO HOW STRONG IT IS.THE STRONG TOXIC CHEMICAL ODOR WAS MAKING MY 1 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER COUGH AND SNEEZE WHEN SHE WAS IN THE CAR. SHE WOULD JUST KEEP RUBBING HER EYES. THE CAR WAS TAKEN IN TO THE DEALERSHIP IN WHICH THEY HAD IT FOR OVER 2 WEEKS. WHEN I GOT THE CAR BACK, THEY SAID THE ODOR WAS NORMAL AND WOULD GO AWAY. I CALL NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND EXPLAINED THE HEALTH CONCERNS FOR MY CHILD IN HALING THE ODOR COMING FROM THE AC VENTS. I RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY STATED THE STRONG ODOR WAS DUE TO THE PLASTIC IN THE CAR AND BECAUSE THE CAR IS BLACK IN COLOR. THE CAR ONLY HAS 4,500 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT BE EMITTING ANY TOXIC CHEMICAL ODOR FROM THE AC VENTS. INHALING THE CHEMICAL THAT IS COMING FROM THE AC UNIT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS FOR MY CHILDREN AND THAT IS VERY CONCERNING. THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY PLASTIC THAT WOULD GIVE OFF THIS TYPE OF ODOR IN ANY VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER AGREED THAT THE CAR SHOULD NOT SMELL THE WAY IT DOES, BUT NISSAN CONSUMER A

I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A GREEN LIGHT NORTHBOUND. A TRUCK DRIVING EASTBOUND HIT ME ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF CAR TWICE RESULTING IN MY VEHICLE FACING EAST BOUND. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN A CAR ACCIDENT

BACK IN JULY CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND SPUTTER WHILE DRIVING, AND NISSAN REPLACED VALVE BODY. HOWEVER, CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON 09/07 AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST CAR TO CURB. WHEN TRYING TO START AGAIN, ENGINE WOULD ONLY CRANK AND NOT TURN OVER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES MADE A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

WHILE PRESSING GAS MY RPM GOES UP AND DOWN REALLY FAST EVEN WHEN I'M AT A STEADY PACE, THE VEHICLE VIBRATES AND JERKS WHILE AND MOTION AND HAS SHUT OFF TWICE WHILE DRIVING. THE VIBRATION OCCURS WHILE IN MOTION. ONCE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WOULDN'T DRIVE OVER 20MPH THEN IT SHUT OFF. OFTEN TIMES WHEN I MAKE A COMPLETE STOP THEN PROCEED TO GO THE VEHICLE DOES A HARD JERK. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I'VE CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO ASSIST DESPITE THE FACT THAT I NOTICE ON DIFFERENT FORUMS LOTS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE EXACT SAME ISSUE STARTING WITH THE 2013 MODEL AND 2015. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS AND CAN REALLY BECOME DEADLY FOR CONSUMERS WHILE RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF WHILE IN MOTION. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE WITH 13000 MILES AND NOW ITS AT 25000 THEIRS NO REASON THOUSANDS OF OTHERS SHOULD BE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE EXACT MODEL AS MINE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS NOW.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 ALTIMA ON A HIGHWAY AND THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED AS IN A STALL WITH CARS BEHIND ME SWERVING OFF THE HIGHWAY TO AVOID HITTING ME. THE CAR HAD ON OIL AND THE OIL WARNING LIGHT DID NOT COME ON UNTIL MY CAR STOPPED, THEN IT SAID WARNING LOW OIL PRESSURE. I HAD JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE AT PORT CITY NISSAN, PORTSMOUTH, NH, AND THE SERVICE PERSON APPARENTLY DID NOT REATTACH THE OIL FILTER CORRECTLY, CROSS-THREADING THE FILTER RESULTING IN THE OIL LEAKING OUT WITHOUT ME KNOWING. AGAIN, MY CONCERN IS THERE WAS NO WARNING BEFORE MY CAR STALLED AND STOPPED ON A HIGHWAY. NO OIL PRESSURE LIGHT OR LOW OIL ALERT, NOTHING UNTIL I WAS ALMOST IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

PASSENGER AIR BAG TURNED OFF A FEW TIMES SINCE NEW. TOOK IN TO DEALER FOR RECALL TO REPROGRAM. WAS TOLD LIGHT WOULD BE ON UNTIL AN ADULT SAT IN THE SEAT. SEVERAL ADULTS HAVE SAT IN SEAT WITH ADEQUATE WEIGHT TO SENSE PRESENCE. AIR BAG IS STILL OFF AND HAS BEEN OFF SINCE REPROGRAMMED. DEALER SHOULD HAVE HAD PERSON SIT IN SEAT TO VERIFY OPERATION PRIOR TO RELEASING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE TO CUSTOMER. HAVE NOT RETURNED TO THE DEALER.

HAVING FIXED A RECALL RELATED TO AIRBAG SENSORS, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS GOING OFF (INDICATING THE AIRBAG IS OFF) EVEN WHEN OCCUPIED BY A 130 POUND PASSENGER SITTING PROPERLY IN THE VEHICLE SEAT (BACK STRAIGHT AGAINST SET BACK, KNEES BENT AT EDGE OF SEAT, FEET FLAT ON THE FLOOR) WITH SEATBELT ON PROPERLY (LAPBELT ACROSS HIPS/LAP AND SHOULDER BELT ACROSS THE SHOULDER) THIS HAPPENS REPEATEDLY, THOUGH TO HAD TO SELECT 1 DATE TO FILE THIS REPORT.

GEAR SHIFT KEEPS SLIDING BETWEEN REVERSE AND NEUTRAL WITHOUT BEING TOUCHED.
