On Sunday December 12th just north of Birmingham on I-65 there was a foreign object in the lane (appeared to be a fairly large piece on concrete). It was between 8-9p thus dark. Due to the amount of traffic driver could not swerve to avoid the object. The object bent the front driver wheel which resulted in needing to replace the driver front wheel and tire (OEM Nissan Wheel and cover, third party recycled tire). The object in the road could have caused far worse damage and bodily injury. We do not have a receipt for the $60.00 used tire.

The transmission seems to be going. Car will not accelerate accordingly and randomly slows down in traffic. Holding the accelerator to the floor on a small incline I could only reach 44mph. I live in an area that has no shoulders and this could be a very dangerous situation.

The car delays to accelerate from a stopped position. While sitting at traffic lights you can press the gas all the way to the floor and the car will not accelerate for a few seconds and then slingshot you forward. After this happens the car will not change gears and revs to 5000 RPMs while in the middle of traffic. If you can safely pull off to the side of the road and turn the car off for a few seconds and restart it, the car resumes to function normally. This is extremely dangerous, especially when making left hand turns with children in the car. In my research, this a known problem to Nissan and there has been no recall.

The system failure is the airbag I'm not sure if it is a malfunction or what. It started as staying on when I start car then would go away. Then I notice it just come up and would stay on. I made appointment for dealership to take a assessment and they would not look unless I pay ahead to have it seen. I don't feel safe to drive my vehicle that this could be a serious matter. It has been a while now about 3 months now.

Hello I’m not sure how to actually go about this. Just looking for a little clarification or guidance, I purchased my 2017 Nissan Altima from a dealership March 2020. Two weeks ago the airbag popped on that it’s no longer working and I’m not understanding why I haven’t been in any accidents or anything. It doesn’t make any sense to me that I took the car to Nissan and it cost 1700 just for the part that’s not including labor. Is this happening to all Nissans and where do I go from here? That’s a lot of money just for parts.

I am driving for about 40min my nissan stop accelerating. I can floor the gas pedal. It will not increase speed. My speed starts to decline . I can't go faster. I have to put my hazard lights on and coast to get of freeway. No check engine lights no warning. I have taken it to nissan to get updated soft ware. Still no warnings no codes.

The transmission without any advance issue or problem began to shimmy and shake the entire car . The car slowed down to less than 10 mph while jerking forcefully . The car is and was serviced regularly at Nissan in Murfreesboro Tennessee. There was no warning. Nissan was called and they picked up car on roll back. They said transmission failed. This was at mileage less than 100,000 actual mileage was 93,404. The invoice number is 6088347/1 dated 5/16/20. This happened in traffic and is a definite safety issue. Nissan should not be permitted to continue building and selling these faulty c v t transmissions, continuing to put our life’s in jeopardy and financially devastating us. Your form will not allow us to put the date of incident 5/15/2020 the form will not change from sept 2021 you might want to fix this.

My airbag light came on 2 weeks ago. I took it to Nissan and was told I had no error codes, but if the airbag light came back on to bring it back. The light came on again yesterday. I returned to Nissan to be informed that the airbag has to be replaced. Meaning the entire passenger seat has to be replaced because that is where the airbag is located. Nearly $2,000 to repair it. All of the 17 Nissan models have the airbag recall except for the 17 Altima which is what I have.

ONLY GETS UP TO ABOUT 20 MPH THOUGH. THEN IT WILL FINALLY GO. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND NO CODES. IF I TURN THE CAR OFF, IT'S LIKE IT RESETS AND HAS MORE POWER AFTERWARDS.

Had to replace rear brake pads at 21,100 miles…very odd to have to replace at such a low mileage. Also, the major issue I’m having is with water leaking into my car…the dealership first said they thought it was due to clogged sunroof drains….they were wrong…took it back after issue still happening, and now they are saying that the sunroof drains are deformed…the water is coming in from under the dash onto the passenger side of the floor and going to the back. Also, leaking from the top edge onto the passenger seat. There also is some water on the driver seat, and the driver’s seatbelt feels damp. Under both the passenger & driver’s seat there is rust….this car was brand new when I got it. The car has heated/power seats. I’m concerned that this water damage may cause other issues down the road..including safety issues. Rust and mold are not good. There also is a bad odor.

I HAVE A 2017 NISSAN ALTIMA SV, 4CYL, 2.5L... I AM HAVING WORSENING PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PULL OFF FROM A RED LIGHT FOR EXAMPLE, IT WILL HESITATE FOR ABOUT 4,5 SECONDS, RPMS INCREASE THEN A SURGE OF ACCELERATION. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING IT WILL LOSE SPEED WITH MY FOOT ON THE GAS, EVEN WITH THE RPMS UP AS IF IT WERE MOVING FASTER.. THANKFULLY THE DRIVERS BEHIND ME WERE ATTENTIVE OR IT COULD HAVE CAUSED ME AND OTHERS A GREAT DEAL OF DAMAGE, LIKE WHEN I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A CROSS STREET TURN LANE. IT WAS SPORADIC AT FIRST; I WENT TO VALVOLINE AND GOT REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION FLUID, AND THE GUY TURNED OFF THE ENGINE LIGHT. IT STARTED UP AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER, AND I GOT A NEW AIR FILTER AND WENT BACK FOR A FUEL SYSTEM CLEANING. ANOTHER GUY RESET THE ENGINE LIGHT AGAIN, AND NOW(ABOUT 3 WEEKS LATER)IT'S BACK WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. SOMETIMES, I'D PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR AND IT HELPED A BIT. NOW(YESTERDAY) THAT ISN'T HELPING AND THE SLOW ACCELERATION AND SPEED HAPPENS EVERY TIME. I USED THE DIAGNOSING TOOL AT AUTO ZONE WHICH READ, "P0776-PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID B PERFORMANCE OR STUCK OFF". I AM SEEING THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE EXACT SAME THING, AND EVEN A RECALL ON THE MODELS UP TO 2016 REGARDING THIS, BUT 2017 AND AFTER SEEM TO BE GETTING IGNORED.

VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 16,000 MILES AND DEALER STATED THAT BOTH REAR SHOCKS NEED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER RESEARCHING MULTIPLE NISSAN FORUMS HAVE DISCOVERED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM NOT ONLY WITH ALTIMA MODELS BUT WITH MAXIMA AS WELL. DEALER STATED DUE TO YEAR IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND RECEIVED REPAIR ESTIMATE FOR OVER $800. DEALER CHARGED $50 FOR DIAGNOSTIC EVEN THOUGH I TOLD THEM WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. HAD SHOCK MOUNT KIT REPLACED ON PASSENGER SIDE AT ANOTHER REPAIR FACILITY FOR LESS THAN $200. LOUD RATTLE IS NOW GONE BUT SHOCK WAS NOT REPLACED AND IS STILL MAKING SOME NOISE OVER BUMPY CONDITIONS. DRIVER SIDE IS CURRENTLY NOT MAKING ANY NOISE BUT PROBABLY WILL FAIL EVENTUALLY. CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY WOULD NOT CREDIT ME FOR REPAIR COST I INCURRED AND WOULD ONLY COVER HALF OF THE COST IF I TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER TO HAVE BOTH SHOCKS REPLACED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED BY NISSAN DUE TO HIGH FAILURE RATE ON PARTS WITH MINIMUM MILEAGE. THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR 100% OF COSTS.

MY 2017 ALTIMA HAD BEEN JERKING, ALMOST FELT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. THIS WOULD OCCUR AT RANDOM ACCELERATION CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL FOR BRIEF SECONDS BEFORE IT WOULD ACTUALLY ACCELERATE. ON TOP OF THAT VEHICLE HAS NOW STARTED A LOUD WINING SOUND THAT GETS LOUDER WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AND THEN GRADUALLY IT WILL BEGIN TO TAKE OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY STOP OR SLOW DOWN MADE. MY CRUISE CONTROL NO LONGER WORKS EITHER. SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST I HAD ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE NOT WANTING TO SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. SINCE THEN THIS IS WHAT HAS OCCURED. AT THIS POINT I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO NO ACCELERATION AND IM AFRAID THAT I MIGHT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO EXTREMELY SLOW IF NOT ANY TAKE OFF FROM ANY STOP. I AM VERY UPSET OVER THIS ISSUE CONSIDERING EVERYTHING I HAVE READ UP ON ALL LEADS BACK TO THE CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FROM SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS, AND THE FACT THAT SEVERAL RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE DUE TO THIS, BUT FOR SOME REASON NOT THE 2017 ALTIMA?

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
