2015 Nissan Altima complaints

CAR FAILS TO ACCELERATE AFTER A TOTAL STOP AND SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. ABSOLUTELY NO POWER. THE GAS PEDAL CAN BE PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE VEHICLE BEGINS MOVING. THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED GRADUALLY. AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF KEEPING THE PEDAL ON THE FLOOR, THE RPM WILL SPIKE AND THE CAR WILL SLOWLY BEGIN MOVING FORWARD. AFTER BACKING OFF THE PEDAL COMPLETELY, THE CAR CAN BE DRIVEN NORMALLY ONCE THE ENGINE SLOWS DOWN AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS BACK. IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 80-85 DEGREES OUTSIDE, CLEAR, CAR WAS AT A SLIGHT INCLINE GOING UP A HILL.

DIRECTION OF CAR "WONDERS" SLIGHTLY FROM SIDE-TO-SIDE WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. NEED CONTINUOUS SMALL STEERING WHEEL CORRECTION IN ORDER TO KEEP CAR IN STRAIGHT LINE. VERY ANNOYING AND STRESSFUL TO OPERATE CAR.

BOUGHT 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA BRAND NEW. FROM DAY ONE HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE. GOING ABOVE 60 VEHICLE WANTS TO DRIFT OUT OF LANE. BEEN IN CONTACT WITH NISSAN CORPORATION, AND THEY ARE NO HELP. SAY THAT IS HOW THE VEHICLE IS. THIS CAR IS VERY UNSAFE. NISSAN SENT OUT A SPECIALIST FOR ALITMAS, AND HE SAID IT WAS NORMAL. HE SAID HE DID SOMETHING TO HELP THE DRIVING, BUT IT DID NOT HELP AT ALL. HORRIBLE CAR. REALLY WISH I COULD GET OUT OF THIS CAR, BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER NISSAN EVER AGAIN!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000. UPDATED 10/18/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED, THE LIGHTED ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE CONSUMER WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER, WHERE THE RESET THE LIGHT. UPDATED 10/25/16.*JB

WHILE DRIVING BACK HOME LAST MONTH (JULY 2016), SUDDENLY IT STARTED LOOSING POWER AND TACHOMETER STARTED SHOWING FLUCTUATION AT ALL RPM RANGE (0-4000+). IT WAS VERY SCARY MOMENT AS IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH MEDIUM TO HIGH TRAFFIC FLOW (AFTER WORK HOURS 5 PM -7 PM) 65 MPH ZONE.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 2015 ALTIMA FOR THE OCS MODULE. THIS SHUTS OFF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG IF THE PERSON SITTING IN THE SEAT ISN'T HEAVY ENOUGH TO BE AN ADULT. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY REPROGRAMMED IT ACCORDING TO THE RECALL DIRECTIONS. TWO DAYS LATER I WAS RIDING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND NOTICED THE LIGHT WAS ON THAT TELLS YOU THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT MIGHT NOT HAVE TAKEN THE WHOLE PROGRAM AND THEY WOULD DO IT AGAIN. WHEN I TOOK IT IN THE SERVICE PERSON WOULDN'T EVEN LOOK AT IT OTHER THAN TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND TELL ME IT WAS FINE BECAUSE THE LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON. IN THE YEAR I OWNED IT THE LIGHT ONLY CAME ON TWICE WITH AN ADULT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT BEFORE THE RECALL. THE SERVICE PERSON EVEN TRIED TO TELL ME THE AIR BAGS WILL WORK WITH THE LIGHT ON SAYING THEY ARE OFF. THAT'S NOT WHAT THE PAPERWORK SAYS THAT THE SAME DEALERSHIP GAVE ME WHEN THEY DID THE RECALL WORK. SO NOW I'M LEFT WITH A CAR THAT SOMEONE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT COULD GET INJURED OR KILLED IF THERE'S AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAG IS OFF BECAUSE THE OCS MODULE ISN'T READING THEIR WEIGHT RIGHT. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND THEY TOLD ME AFTER CONFERRING WITH THE DEALER THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP ME. WHAT!!!

CAR WAS REPROGRAMMED FOR THE "OCS" FIX. HAVE SAME PROBLEM STILL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE DRIFTED LEFT OR RIGHT WITHOUT WARNING, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE BECAME MORE SEVERE IN WINDY CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE DEALER STATED THAT IN ORDER TO STEER THE VEHICLE, THEIR HANDS NEEDED TO BE LOCATED ON THE BOTTOM OF THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER TO BETTER STEER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,500....UPDATED 09/14/16 *BF *CN

THIS IS THE SECOND NISSAN ALTIMA THAT I'VE HAD. A VEHICLE IFO ME WILL THROW A ROCK AND CAUSE MY WINDSHIELD TO CRACK; NOT CHIP. NISSAN DOESN'T MAKE GOOD WINDSHIELDS. BOTH OF MY VEHICLES ALONG WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE THAT I KNOW HAVE HAD THE SAME CRACK ON THEIR ALTIMA. PLEASE CONSIDER THE MATERIAL THEY USE OR THE ACTUAL WINDSHIELD TO BE DEFECTIVE.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSATE HIGHWAY I77 IN JULY 2016 WITH AN OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE OF ~100F THE SUNROOF EXPLODED / SHATTERED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE INSIDE SLIDING PANEL WAS CLOSED SO NO PASSENGERS WERE AFFECTED BY FLYING GLASS.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS).

THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE DEALER'S REPAIR CAUSED A FAILURE. PRIOR TO THE REPAIR, THERE HAD BEEN NO FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

AFTER THE CAR HAD ITS FIRMWARE UPDATED DUE TO A RECALL, WE NOTICED THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SIGN LIT EVEN THOUGH THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED BY A 250 POUND MALE. THE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE WE WERE DRIVING, STAYED ON FOR A FEW MINUTES, AND THEN WENT OUT. IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED THIS ONE TIME.

ON OR AROUND 6/20/16 I RECEIVED A NHTSA ANS NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) IN MY VEHICLE. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR 6/28/16 WITH NISSAN OF UNION CITY, WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE WAS SERVICED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED DATE, AND I WAS INFORMED BY NISSAN OF UNION CITY THAT THE RECALL MALFUNCTION WAS CORRECTED. HOWEVER, THAT IS NOT THE TRUTH. THE OCS HAS APPARENTLY BEEN TURNED OFF COMPLETELY, THEREBY CAUSING A SAFETY RISK TO MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS. WITH THIS FUNCTION TURNED OFF, THE VEHICLE RESTRAINT SYSTEM MAY NOT WORK. I NEED THE SYSTEM TO BE TESTED BECAUSE I HAVE NOT BEEN ASSURED OF THE SAFETY OF THE SYSTEM BY NISSAN OF UNION CITY AFTER THE ISSUE WAS ALLEGEDLY CORRECTED BY THEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE MY COMPLAINT.

I AGREE WITH OTHERS ABOUT NISSAN NEEDING TO REPURCHASE/COMPENSATE FOR ALL THE ISSUES.THIS VEHICLE FEELS VERY UNSAFE AND THEY JUST PUSH IT ALL OFF. THE POWER STEERING MAKES VARYING LOUD,ANNOYING,DISTRACTING, WHINING NOISES THE ENTIRE TIME YOU DRIVE IT. THE CAR HESITATES AND JERKS WHILE DRIVING OR TRYING TO DRIVE FROM A STOP WHICH FEELS VERY UNSAFE AND MAKES ME WORRY ABOUT BEING HIT. THERE ARE SO MANY PROBLEMS THAT ARE UNSAFE WITH THE 2015 ALTIMA AND NISSAN REFUSES TO ADMIT THEM AND CONSTANTLY SAYS "EVERYTHING IS NORMAL" OR 'ITS THE WAY THAT TRANSMISSION WORKS". A HUGE WASTE OF TIME AND ENERGY TRYING TO DEAL WITH NISSAN. THEY ALSO KEPT INSISTING TO ME THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON WHILE A GROWN ADULT WAS SEATED WAS "NORMAL" AS WELL UNTIL ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A RECALL...JUST TO SHOW HOW THEY LIE AND COVER EVERYTHING UP .I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN DECEMBER 2015 AND HAVE HAD THESE ISSUES SINCE. HAVE BEEN TO DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES FOR THE ISSUES AS WELL AS HAVING A NISSAN TECH COME TO ASSESS BUT OF COURSE EVERYONE STICKS TOGETHER AND STATES IT "ALL NORMAL".THERE ARE ALSO PROBLEMS THAT ARE NOT SAFETY ISSUES BUT VALUE ISSUES SUCH AS THE XM SERVICE THAT IS HORRIBLE BUT YOU PAY FOR AND THE CHEAP BUILD OF THE VEHICLE/PAINT.

I PURCHASED MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER. IN SEPT 2015 AT 25,000 MILES, WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY, THE CAR SLOW DOWN AS IF I WAS DRIVING IN A LOW GEAR. THE RPM WENT UP, BUT THE CAR IS MOVING VERY SLOW. I STOP THE CAR AND CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY TOLD ME TO STOP AND PARK THE CAR THEN RESTARTED THE CAR AFTER GIVING IT SERVAL MINS OF COOLING DOWN. I TOOK THE CAR THE SERVICE THE NEXT DAY, THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR ANOTHER SIX OR SO MONTHS THEN THE SAME HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND AGAIN. COUPLE MONTHS LATER, THE CAR STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I TOOK THE CAR IN, STILL NO PROBLEM WS FOUND. THEY SAID THEY CAN'T MIMIC THE PROBLEM AND ASKED THAT I CONTIUE TO DRIVE AND STOP AND PARK IF THE PROBLEM ARISE. I TOLD THE SUPERVISOR/MANAGER AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY FAMILY AROUND IN A CAR THAT STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BUT CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE CAR, BUT IT HAS TO DO WITH TRANSIMITION BECAUSE OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I FELT THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS PROLONGING THE REAL PROBLEM BECAUSE THE CAR IS STILL UNDER THE WARRANITY, AND I FELT THAT THE PROBLEM WILL BE DISCOVER ONCE IT'S OUT OF THE WARRNITY COVERAGE. I HAVE TWO MAJOR CONCERNS: 1. I AM WORRY FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY WHEN I AM DRIVING THEM AROUND THE CAR THAT CAN STOP ANYTIME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD

IN MY DRIVEWAY I PUT CAR IN PARK AND GOT OUT CLOSING DOOR. I THEN REALIZED THAT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING, SO I OPENED THE DOOR AND REACHED IN TO PUSH THE OFF BUTTON. THE CAR STARTED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY IN REVERSE WITH ME CAUGHT BETWEEN THE DOOR AND BODY OF CAR. I WAS ALMOST RUN OVER. IT STOPPED BY HITTING INTO AN ISLAND OF TREES AND SHRUBS.

FIRST I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED, I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND IT WENT. I DROVE ABOUT 3 MILES AND IT WAS LIKE I COULDN'T STEER THE CAR AND AS I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKES THE CAR WAS LIKE ACCELERATING. I HAD TO REPEATEDLY PUSH ON BRAKES FOR THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP. I HAVEN'T HAD THIS CAR BUT 6 MONTHS AND IT'S A NEW VEHICLE

CAR WAS BROUGHT BRAND NEW. DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL ONE DAY MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE CAR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE DONE AT 3000MILES. WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL WENT STIFF AND HARD TO CONTROL. HE MANAGED TO DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP WITHOUT HURTING HIMSELF AND GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE ELECTRIC STEERING PUMP WAS THE PROBLEM AND CAR HAS TO STAY FOR 4 DAYS AND THEY CHANGED THE STEERING PUMP. A FEW DAYS AFTER, I WAS DRIVING THE CAR TO WORK WHICH IS ABOUT 2 MILES OR LESS AWAY FROM HOME, THE STEERING WHEEL WENT STIFF ON ME WHILE I WAS MAKING A TURN TO THE PARKING LOT. I HAD TO STEP ON THE BREAK TO AVOID HITTING THE ELECTRIC POLE. WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPAIR THE WIRING HARNESS AND SOMETHING ABOUT A RUST Y NUT THAT THEY NEEDED TO POLISH SO IT WOULD NOT LOSE CONTACT WITH THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM??? IM NOT SURE ABOUT THAT PART THOUGH. IT WAS MY HUSBAND AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR WHO HAD THAT TALK. MY CONCERN NOW IS THAT WE FEEL THAT WE HAVE A LEMON CAR. TRIED CONTACTING NISSAN CORP BUT THEY SAID THAT ALL REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE AND IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN THAT THEY WILL REVIEW THE CASE. MY POINT IS, THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL GIVE OUT ON YOU WHILE DRIVING AND MIGHT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE ADVISE US ON WHAT TO DO WITH THIS. I ALMOST HAD ONE IN THIS CAR, I DON'T FEEL SAFE HAULING MY TWO KIDS IN THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE BUT NISSAN WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT- WELL I GUESS NOT

THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN THE 2015 FRONTIER IS PROBABLY GOING TO FAIL AFTER 50,000 MILES. MOST OF THE TIME IT WORKS, BUT ON OCCASION IT STUTTERS ON ACCELERATION FROM A STANDSTILL, OR VIBRATES EXCESSIVELY IN GENERAL. WHEN, NOT IF, THE TRANSMISSION FAILS IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH BECAUSE THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE WHEN IT WAS EXPECTED TO.

BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR THE TRUNK RECALL IN APRIL. THE TRUNK OPENED AND WHAT SHUT EITHER THE RECALL WASN'T DONE AT ALL OR THE RECALL FIX DOES NOT WORK. ROYAL PALM BEACH NISSAN. ROYAL PALM BEACH, FLORIDA. VEHICLE WAS STOPPED HAD TO DRIVE HOME ALMOST 200 MILES WITH IT TIED AND CONSTANTLY TIGHTENING IT.

BRAKE ISSUE, ABS, TRACTION, WHILE DRIVING MY CAR AT 15 MPH MY BRAKES LOCKED UP AND STOPPED MY CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD (WITH TRAFFIC) FAIRLY FORCEFUL STOP I MIGHT ADD. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN A GRINDING NOISE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AT RANDOM TIME. 1 WEEK PRIOR TO THE ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES MY DRIVING ASSIST SENSORS MALFUNCTIONED. AFTER OBTAINING A RENTAL CAR THE SATURDAY THAT MY BRAKES FAILED I WAS TOLD THAT MONDAY MORNING THAT MY CAR WAS FINE AND THAT MY BRAKES FAILED WHEN MY DRIVER ASSIST SENSORS MALFUNCTIONED A WEEK PRIOR. TALK ABOUT SCARY AND MY FAMILY NO LONGER FEELS SAFE IN MY CAR. NISSAN TOLD ME THIS WAS A NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE CAR AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. THERE IS ALSO ACCORDING TO NISSAN REP AN UNKNOWN CLANKING NOISE COMING FROM THE SUSPENSION AND OR STEERING. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT WITH ALL OF THESE ISSUES GOING ON THERE IS A HUGE RISK OF MY FAMILY BEING IN HARMS WAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT BELT WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS A FRACTURE BETWEEN THE FIREWALL AND THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH ALLOWED WATER TO ENTER THE VEHICLE WHEN IT RAINED. THE CARPET WAS REPLACED, BUT AN ABNORMAL ODOR WAS STILL PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

THE PASSENGER "AIR BAG LIGHT" DOES NOT GO OUT WHEN I HAVE AN ADULT PASSENGER IN THE CAR. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEM INDICATED WHEN TESTED. NISSAN REGIONAL OFFICE SAYS THEY ARE CHECKING INTO IT AT THIS TIME AND WILL NOT AUTHORIZE ANY REPAIRS, AND IF I CONTINUE TO HAVE A PROBLEM, GO TO THE DEALERSHIP MEANWHILE THE "PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT" REMAINS ON WHEN I HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. I CAN NOT GET ANY PROPER RESPONSE FROM NISSAN.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE BLIND SPOT WARNING LIGHT CONSTANTLY GOES ON & OFF. IT HAS ALWAYS DONE THIS & DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS DONE IT IN THE PAST BUT I HAVEN'T NOTICED IT LATELY. IT IS VERY ANNOYING & NOW I TURN THE SYSTEM OFF MOST OF THE TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS WERE DIM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADJUSTED THE LIGHTS HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED.

I RECENTLY SWITCHED FROM AN AUDI A6, WHICH USES HID BULBS TO A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 L. THIS MODEL USES HALOGEN BULBS, AS I HAVE DISCOVERED. I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF OWNING THE NISSAN AND HAD POOR VISIBILITY OF THE ROAD. I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY TOWARD A STOPLIGHT AND COULD NOT SEE THE SMALL STRIP OF MEDIAN TO MY LEFT AS I WAS COMING TO THE STOPLIGHT. I HIT IT, AND THE SIDEWALL IN THE PASSENGER-SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. I LATER LOOKED UP THE VEHICLE SAFETY REPORT ON THIS MODEL AND I SEE THAT IT RECEIVED A "POOR" UNDER THE "HEADLIGHTS" SECTION OF THE IIHS WEBSITE. SEE: HTTP://WWW.IIHS.ORG/IIHS/RATINGS/VEHICLE/V/NISSAN/ALTIMA-4-DOOR-SEDAN/2015 I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN THIS CAR. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY SUCH COLLISION WITH A MEDIAN OR OTHERWISE IN OVER TEN YEARS. I JUST CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT WITH THIS NEW CAR.

MY CAR WHICH WAS PURCHASED LESS THAN A MONTH AGO, IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE THIRD TIME. THE CAR CONTINUES TO HAVE MANY ISSUES. THERE IS A SHIMMY/VIBRATION IN THE STEERING COLUMN AS WELL AS VIBRATION IN THE DOOR, ACCELERATOR AND FLOOR BOARDS. IT OFTEN SEEMS THAT THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE SUSPENSION AS WELL AS THE BRAKES. THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE IS THAT THE CAR CONTINUES TO DRIVE OFF THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT AND YOU HAVE TO FORCE IT OUT OF A RIGHT-HAND TURN. ALTHOUGH THIS PROBLEM ALSO SEEMS TO OCCUR TO THE LEFT AS WELL, IT IS NOT AS APPARENT. WHAT IS APPARENT, IS WHEN YOU TRY TO COMPENSATE FOR THE DRIFTING, IT OVER-COMPENSATES TO THE OTHER SIDE AND IT NEVER FEELS AS THOUGH THE TIRES ARE HOLDING THE ROAD AT ALL TIMES. IT IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO MANAGE THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS ISSUE IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS NOT ONLY PUTTING THE LIVES OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER BUT THE LIVES OF THE OTHERS ON THE ROAD AS WELL. I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CONFIDENCE THAT THIS CAR CAN BE REPAIRED TO ANY LEVEL OF SAFETY.

VEHICLE GETS 28 MPH ON HIGHWAY FOR LONG DISTANCE TRAVEL. VEHICLE IS ADVERTISE TO GET 36 ON HIGHWAY. TWO TRIPS OF 9 TO 10 HOURS ON HIGHWAY (NON-MOUNTAIN)SHOWS 28 MPH. THIRD TRIP 4.5 HOURS SHOWS 28 MPH ON HIGHWAY. VEHICLE GETS THE SAME 28 MPH CITY. EXTREMELY POOR MILEAGE ON HIGHWAY. I HAVE CONTINUOUSLY REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP,AND WAS TOLD BY SERVICE MANAGER THE COMPUTER HAD TO CATCH UP WITH THE CAR.

WHILE DRIVING 3-5 MPH IN A ROUNDABOUT, THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE ENGAGED ON ITS OWN, LOCKING THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO SHAKE AND THE RIGHT WHEEL SCREECHED TO A HALT WHILE THE LEFT WHEEL COULD STILL MOVE. I IMMEDIATELY PRESSED THE BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR. I HAD TO PRESS AND RELEASE THE BRAKE AT LEAST TWICE BEFORE THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BRAKE UNLOCKED. I DROVE TO MY HOME LESS THAN 1/3 MILE AWAY AND EXAMINED THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL. I COULD SMELL BURNING RUBBER AND THE WHEEL WAS VERY HOT. DURING THE 16 MONTHS I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR, THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE IT SEEMED THE FRONT BRAKES WERE ENGAGING FOR NO REASON. THESE INCIDENTS OCCUR WHEN I AM MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY OR ROUNDING A CURVE AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 45 MPH. IT FEELS LIKE ONE OR BOTH FRONT BRAKES ARE ENGAGING BRIEFLY AND IMMEDIATELY RELEASING, EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WILL SHAKE AND IT FEELS LIKE THE FRONT WHEELS ARE WOBBLING AS IF THEY ARE LOOSE. I CHECKED BOTH WHEELS AFTER THESE INCIDENTS AND COULD NOT VISUALLY IDENTIFY ANY PROBLEMS. NEITHER WHEEL WAS LOOSE OR WORN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, IT INADVERTENTLY ROLLED AWAY AND CRASHED INTO A FENCE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000. ...UPDATED 06/30/16 *BF

BRAKES ON MY CAR ARE SQUEAKING VERY LOUDLY. JUST HAD THEM FIXED A WEEK AGO AND THEY ARE WORSE NOW THEN THEY WERE BEFORE. APPLYING THE BRAKE WITH A LITTLE PRESSURE THERE IS NO NOISE ANYTHING MORE THAN THAT THERE IS A LOT OF NOISE THAT I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V029000 (LATCHES, LOCKS, LINKAGES). 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 APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN WOULD STEP ON GAS TO CONTINUE DRIVING WHEN THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE; IT HESITATES TO GO FOR A SECOND OR TWO THEN THE VEHICLE WELL ACCELERATE. FOR EXAMPLE IF THE VEHICLE SUPPOSE TAKES 2 SEC TO REACH 35 MPH THE VEHICLE WOULD TAKE 5 SEC TO REACH 35 MPH. THIS HAS ACCORD ON THE STREETS AFTER MAKING A COMPLETE STOP. THE HAZARD THAT I AM CONCERN IS WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A TURN THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE SLOW REACTION OF MAKING MY TURN.I HAVE TALKED TO THE MAINTENANCE AT NISSAN AND TOLD THEM THE ISSUE BUT WAS TOLD THAT IF NONE OF THE SENSOR ARE GOING OFF THEN THE CAR IS FINE. HOWEVER, IT IS STILL DOING IT . I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER TWO TIMES AND THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEIR MACHINES ARE NOT DETECTING ANYTHING. I NOTICED THAT THIS IS MORE OF AN ISSUE AFTER DRIVING FOR AN HOUR. I AM WORRIED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS.

BOUGHT THIS CAR LESS THAN THREE MONTHS AGO... ON FRIDAY FEBRUARY 12TH 2016, I PARKED MY CAR IN THE GARAGE WHEN I GOT HOME FROM WORK... THEN ON SATURDAY THE 13TH, I WENT IN THE GARAGE AND THERE WAS A MASSIVE CRACK STARTING JUST A FEW INCHES ABOVE THE BOTTOM RIGHT (PASSENGER SIDE) AND EXTENDING OVER 12 INCHES TOWARD THE CENTER. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR THIS TO OCCUR! I AM SO UPSET! I HAVE GONE OUT OF MY WAY TO TAKE EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA GREAT CARE OF MY NEW CAR AND THEN THIS CRACK CAME OUT OF NOWHERE! I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERS A FEW DAYS AGO AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T COVER IT... I'VE RESEARCHED THIS A TON AND WILL BE FILING COMPLAINTS EVERYWHERE UNTIL I GET THIS RESOLVED. THIS WAS LITERALLY THE MOST RANDOM/HEART BREAKING THIS EVER ! THERE IS NO REASON WHY THIS SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED. I AM SO UPSET WITH NISSAN AND FULLY REGRET DECIDING TO PURCHASE AN ALTIMA! THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED ALREADY!!!

MY ALTIMA IS ONLY 2 MONTHS OLD AND DID NOT START 4X ALREADY. IT SEEMS TO DO THIS FIRST THING IN THE MORNING WHEN THE CAR IS COLD. MY STEERING WHEEL IS VIBRATING CONSTANTLY AND I CAN FEEL A VIBRATION WITH MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. THERE IS A LOUD NOISE LIKE A CONSTANT DENTIST DRILL UNDER MY HOOD THAT IS LOUDER EVERY TIME I TURN. THE DEALERSHIP JUST REPLACED MY POWER STEERING PUMP AND THERE IS NO CHANGE! MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE CAR. IT WILL GO OFF DURING DRIVE TIME. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I HAVE MY PURSE, A BAG, HEAVY BOOKS OR A PERSON-IT SPORADICALLY GOES OFF AND ON WHILE I AM DRIVING. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE KNOWING THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH! LITHIA NISSAN HAS CHECKED THE SENSOR, BUT IT IS STILL DOING IT. I OWNED A 2008 ALTIMA AND 2011 ALTIMA THAT NEVER REQUIRED SERVICE OTHER THAN OIL CHANGES AND AIR IN MY TIRES. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS 2015 PIECE OF JUNK! I CAN HEAR WIND NOISE NO MATTER WHAT SPEED I AM DRIVING. I FEEL LIKE I AM IN A CRASH TEST EVERY TIME I SLOW DOWN. NISSAN TECH SAID IT IS THE NEW CVT TRANSMISSION. HONDA, LEXUS, TOYOTA, MERCEDES AND AUDI HAVE CVT AND IT IS A SMOOTH RIDE! WHY DOES NISSAN CVT JERK YOU AROUND? THE CAR IS SO CHEAPLY MADE THE SPEAKERS ARE POPPED UP AND PAINT IS CHIPPING. I HAVE REPORTED MY ISSUES TO NISSAN CORP. AND BBB. THE NEWEST ISSUE IS THE RPM REV UP AS I SIT AT RED LIGHTS. I WANT NISSAN TO REBUY THIS CAR BACK!

PASS AIR BAG OFF WITH 115 POUND PASSENGER IN SEAT. FIFTH TIME. MUST STOP CAR PASS GETS OUT THEN BACK IN AND LIGHT GOES OUT. DEALER FINDS NO ERROR MESSAGE AND CAN NOT FIND PROBLEM. CAR DEMONSTRATES THIS PROBLEM WHEN FIRST ENTERING CAR. BECAUSE THE LIGHT GOES THROUGH A TEST MODE YOU MAY NOT NOTICE PROBLEM UNTIL UNDERWAY. DEALER UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR PASSENGER SAFTY WE LIVE IN CT, USA PROBLEM STARTED AT <5,000 MILES. NOW OVER 10,000 MILES WITH SAME PROBLE. NOT TEMPERATURE RELATED.
