2015 NISSAN Altima

Air bag light is on in car.

My passenger airbag light will not go off even when no one is sitting in the seat

The Headlights on our 2015 Nissan Altima have always been really dim and have gotten worse each year we have owned it. We have tried replacing the bulbs whith one’s that were suppose to be brighter buy they did not help. I understand from our Nissan Dealership that it is a major complaint and is the headlight assembly and it is not covered by our extended warranty. I even contacted Nissan about the issue , however, they do not want to do anything about it. It is extremely dangerous when driving

When driving the 2015 Nissan Altima and stopping at a stop light sometimes it will not accelerate! It just sits there even
tho I am pushing on the gas pedal! very scary to drive this vehicle.

Tpms turning by itself. Lithia nissan of clovis doenst want to check the sensor they said that because of the cold or hot weather the tpms light turn on. I checked air mesesrunent in book and mark 30 but in the door 33. Still the problem continue and they wont help me to turn off the issue everything started since they did the tire rotation

Sputtering when pressing on gas, fails to start, shut off while driving.

Rust through drivers side floor pan. Some estimates are $3000+

The dashboard of my 2008 Nissan Altima is melting thus creating large glare which stretches across the entire length of the windshield and is troublesome when driving during the daytime hours. This defect in the dashboard poses an unreasonable safety risk to anyone in the vehicle as well as traffic in the vicinity of the vehicle while on the road. Nissan North America specialist, Crystal was contacted and stated to me, “Nissan will pay 50% of the cost of the replacement dashboard.” I contacted my local Nissan dealership and was quoted a total cost of $1575.04 for the replacement part and labor. This is a part defect that needs to be recalled and replaced by Nissan due to using defective materials.

Took delivery of this 2015 Altima 2.5 on 12/02/14 from Dealer John Sisson Nissan. Upon arriving home some 25 miles from the Dealer location a strong burning odor was noticed and therefore the vehicle was left parked outside to ‘air out’ and monitor a possible fire. A strong sulfur odor was and is noticed on occasion which in indicative of a faulty Catalytic Converter and/or raw fuel dumping into the cylinders and exhaust. Dealer was notified of these issues and vehicle was taken in for diagnosis. The dealer was also informed that the advertised MPG ratings of 27 city and 38 Highway were not obtainable.

I was told no problem was found and the road test consisted of about a 2 mile test. I was told the vehicle needed to accrue about 1500 miles before I would realize the advertised MPG ratings. I was also reminded that gas is now ‘cheap’ so why be concerned about MPG! I filed a complaint with Nissan USA where I received no assistance and I suggested they buy the car back or provide me a replacement. I was denied. I was also informed that the selling dealer, SISSON MOTORS advised Nissan USA that they would no longer service my new vehicle. I arranged to take the vehicle to another Nissan dealer where it remained for several days and it was determined the car was averaging about 18 MPG!

I was ask to return the car when the weather warmed up and leave it for at least 5 days so a Full tank to Empty tank MPG test would be conducted to evaluate the actual MPG. Despite my providing precise information I received from the EPA explaining how to run the MPG test the Service Manager advised me on day 6 that he had accrued 131 miles on the full tank of gas and directed me to top off the fuel tank and advise him of how many gallon of gas it took to fill it. I did so and the car took 4.0 gallon of gas. The service manager calculated that the car was now getting 32.0 MPG which is still well below the 30 highway advertised rating however this ‘test’ is deceptive and most inaccurate. The EPA outlines that a Full to Empty test be conducted to properly evaluate the true MPG. Nissan USA states the EPA is responsible for the advertised MPG ratings and the EPA denies this as the auto manufacturers test their vehicles and provide the EPA with the results.

I contacted the Nissan executive in charge of customer quality and was contacted by a person by the name of Elizabeth. I was told on 4/27/15 that a district Nissan rep wants to have the vehicle ‘looked at’ and they will drive it between 30 to 60 miles to evaluate the MPG. That is absurd and contrary to the EPA MPG testing method. The test Nissan wishes to conduct is a farce and most inaccurate however they wish to rid of me and my problems with this LEMON. The issue of poor MPG will not disappear and I will make certain of that. I have emailed the CEO of Nissan twice with no response. Instead I am subjected to the incompetence of people who won’t even divulge their last name and they speak to me as if this was the first time I owned a car or for that matter driven a car. How disgusting and shameful that a company such as Nissan chooses to treat me as a Moron. I will be updating this 5 month old farce as necessary. One more item of interest. I called a Nissan dealer in Ohio and explained my MPG problem. The service representative told me I needed to accrue 5000 mile before the MPG would increase. I ask why 5000 miles and was told, (NO KIDDING) that the pistons have to seat themselves in the engine! Yes, the pistons take 5000 miles to seat themselves??? I guess this is how Nissan trains it’s service representatives to answer customer concerns. While the car was in for service the past two occasions the recall for the hood latch was ignored also and the r/s visor won’t stay shut tight. This is my 8th Nissan and LAST NISSAN!

The head lights don’t illuminate properly and the headlight assembly was never changed. you are more than welcome to inspect them please do. i can’t see at all if normal lights are on only if high beam are. i have been pulled over for riding with my high beams on citing it’s a hazard but when i put my normal lights on i was also pulled over because they couldn’t tell my headlights were on. i could potentially crash or cause a crash trying to drive at night. the problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by an independent service center. the vehicle has not been inspected by the police or insurance. there were no warning lamps or messages and the problem first appeared in 2023

Our nissan altima has been experiencing the brake lamp relay switch issue, where the brake light will be on when brakes are not pushed and causes issue with acceleration. there is an existing recall open on this exact issue for the 2013-2015 models, however when i called a nissan service center was advised our vin is not part of the recall and would not be covered. obviously the manufacturing date for our vehicle and others likewise should be included as it is the same exact issue. this puts a huge risk that this faulty product will cause an accident when you are unable to get up to speed because of the faulty parts.

The headlights are very bad and have to basically drive with the high beams on in order to see because on low beam i almost ran someone over i changed the bulbs a few times but it has not improved any and while changing them that it seems as the bulb burnt something. i have been on the nissan forums and theres many complaints saying that nissan knows something is faulty and they refuse to recall and fix it

While driving the 'traction control light' came on and the car felt as though it had a flat. tires looked good. went home. the next morning the drivers side rear looked as though the body of the car was almost resting on the tire. a repair garage is next store to us. brought it to them. they called to say that the rear control arm drivers side rusted and broke and that the right side needed replacing to. nissan is not honoring a known defect and the insurance company said that unless it was in an accident, they would not cover it either. we are stuck paying to replace both rear control arms at our expense. when nissan is aware that it is there issue and it should cover altima's from 2013-2018. ours is a 2015. we live in one of the salt rock states. this is a real safety issue and nissan should have to make the repair free of charge and not let the consumer foot the bill. until fixed we don't have our primary vehicle.

In 2018, while filling up my gas, i accidentally pulled the hood release lever instead of my gas release lever. after pulling away, while driving the hood released and flew up to my window, causing damage along the hood. since this incident, i have been going back and forth with nissan to get it repaired. they initially denied that it was the hood latch problem, as at the time, my vin number wasn't included in the recalls (although what happened to me was exactly what was included in the recall). i was able to get an appoint with nissan corp who inspected my car and claimed that the damage was a result of rusting to the hood latch so there wasn't anything they could do. now that my vin number is included in the recall, i tried again to get the damage repair/cost covered, but they continue to deny my request stating the rust caused it. (this recall states that rust will form and cause the accident) i don't know where to turn to now as nissan is being impossible to get help from. now, even the hood release lever isn't working.

Dim low beam headlights the low beam head lights are very dim and it has happened progressively. replacing the bulb does not resolve the issue and necescetates driving with the high-beam head lights, which is dangerous for other drivers.

Headlights are very dim, changed the bulbs twice, still dim. also, fuel pump went out.

My vehicle has had an open recall since may 2020. however, there is still "no remedy yet available". due to this open recall i am not allowed to rent my vehicle out, causing me to lose money everyday!

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated while driving 25 mph, the steering wheel was wobbly. the contact exited the vehicle and noticed that the rear control arm was rusted. the low-pressure tire warning light was illuminated. the vehcile was towed to an independent mechanic. the contact called bertera nissan (569 oxford st s, auburn, ma 01501, (508) 832-9611) however, the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 68,656. the consumer stated the car was repaired by cranston auto repair.

I was notified by the car sharing platform that i advertise my car on that it had a recall summer of 2020 and that i could not put my car on the platform until the safety issue was repaired. the safety issue is mostly prevalent where there is a lot of salt used for deicing the roadways on the east coast. i am on the west coast so does not apply to me. i have not been able to make any money with my car which is the only reason i purchased it. i checked today and there is still no fix... for a hood latch!! i can not sell the car as an active recall, even a minor one such as this, devalues my car and i would still owe on my loan. nissan dragging their feet on this fix has resulted in me losing thousands of dollars in income.

Low beam headlights are very dim. honestly i can't remember if they were ever good when i bought the car bran new. no matter what light bulb i put in there doesn't make a difference they are dim.

Hello, i drive a 2015 nissan altima. i'm writing because i believe the headlight assembly on this vehicle are defective. they've quickly corroded and do not provide the proper lighting for safe driving at night. the lighting is extremely dim, and hazy at all times. i often have to use my fog lights to drive at night which are brighter than my headlights. if i'm able to without impacting another drivers vision i have to drive with high beams. i am a 22 year old with 20/20 vision so therefore the issue is not my own vision or motor skills. i have replaced both headlights 2 times in the past year with high grade headlights and it has made zero difference. i also see this is a common problem with this generation of nissan altima's. the vehicle has this issue at all times.

The hood of my car keeps jamming but has a weird noise at times while in motion. the dealership is no longer in business i'm guessing because no one neither the cars are there. it's an empty lot.. the last time as i was driving around a curvy street the hood popped opened unexpectedly

The headlights in the car are extremely dim, causing a major issue with visibility at night. this has been an issue since 2016 and i purchased the vehicle brand new in 2015 and have been the sole owner of the vehicle. i complained to the dealer about the lack of visibility at darkness and they replaced the bulbs, which did not change anything. i was instructed by the dealer that it is a common problem with the projector lens, not the bulbs. this issue has been reported in the 2013 - 2015 nissan altima's, yet nissan has not recalled it. i fear this issue will cause a terrible accident.

My vehicle luckily was parked and i accidentally opened the hood, but there was issues with it fully latching. i finally got it to close completely. when will there be a remedy for this hood recall because it is almost a year next month since it's been reported. i need my vehicle as it is my only transportation to get around and i am scared to drive it.

When i turn my car on and the whole time it is running there is a noise under the hood sounding. you can not hear it from inside but when you are outside you can most definitely hear it and tell the car is on due to the noise.i thought it may be a fan noise due to maybe leaving the ac on but even with it off and just turning on the car you can hear it. this car has never been in an accident to my knowledge or any fender benders at that. also sometimes after sitting at a stop light or stop sign and it's my turn to go i put my foot on the gas (not hard) and it goes up to like 3/4 rpms and it takes a few seconds to drop down to regular rpm while driving

My vehicles transmission i was told it has to do with transmission i thought it was a cv joint i not but it turned out to be way more then then that the accelerator peddle would get stuck and then take off fast almost hit someone.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the passenger's side front air bag warning light remained off, indicating that the front passenger's air bag system was not activated. the cause of the failure was not determined. the local dealer torre nissan located at 2069 79125, ca-111, la quinta, ca 92253, and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. the contact indicated that the vehicle was previously repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 15v681000 (air bags) however, the failure persisted. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 20v315000 (latches/locks/linkages) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. the contact stated while driving at 25 mph, the hood unlatched, opened, and dented the hood. the vehicle was not repaired. the dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 53,000.

Uknown. there is a metal piece under the vehicle that has broken and now scrapes the ground making the vehicle undriveable as this is a safety hazard for sparks and fire. the problem is persistent. the vehicle has not been inspected yet. no warning lights or messages appeared. i was driving in my neighborhood all of a sudden heard a terrible metal grinding noise coming from under my vehicle. i got out and looked and could see something metal had broke and is now dragging the pavement.

My 2015 nissan altima would not accelerate after coming to a complete stop. while i am pressing all the way down on the gas pedal ; the car would not move ; then a few second later it will jump out. i was making a left turn and a car was coming; but luckly he notice i was having problems. this has happened serveral times. date happend 5/7/21 - millage - 54,700 during that time.

The headlight assemblies "chrome" reflective material for the low beam bulbs has faded and blackened. this has resulted in very low light being emitted from the low beam light setting. this is a very dangerous problem that nissan needs to address.

The dim headlights are a safety issue. i can't see how to drive at night or in the evening. i have to turn bright lights on, and it is putting other drivers at risk. nissan is aware of this issue and wants to say that if you are out of your basic warranty you may not be able to get the light repair under goodwill. this is not the fault of their customers and they should be responsible for their additional money-making tactics. i have owned many vehicles and have never had this issue. i am not the only person who is experiencing this problem. i do not have the $1250 they are requesting to get my headlights repaired so they stuck two dim headlight bulbs in, and i still can't see. this is a dangerous issue for me and other drives. i want them to repair this issue. i just paid off my car this month $30,000 with no late payments. they should be happy to repair this safety issue. i checked for a recall and i see that there is a current investigation regarding dimming headlights for 2013-2019 nissan altima's. the vehicle was inspected, and they want me to pay. the vehicle was inspected, and they want me to pay. it is not fair that i have paid all that money and can't drive my car at night.

The contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated while driving at night, the headlights were very dim, creating a visibility hazard for the driver. the contact continued driving to his residence. the contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who inspected it. the contact was informed that the reflective material inside the headlight housings had greatly deteriorated and no longer provided adequate luminescence while driving in low light conditions. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximate 95,000.

Hello, i have a 2015 nissan altima. i was driving my son to school on may 28, 2021 when my car began uncontrollably shaking. i had to pull over and stop. i took it to a garage in pleasantville, pa as there is not a nissan certified dealership near me. the closest one is 1 hour away in erie, pa which is where i purchased the vehicle. the garage told me the rear control arm broke. i did some research and the internet is full of information regarding recalls for this same exact issue in the 2013 and 2014 models. especially in areas that are highly salted in the winter time, which northwestern pa is. a quick reviewof the 2013 to 2015 nissan altima model will show you there is not much difference in the models. the difference is mine is a bit newer and the rear control arm should have never broke. i contacted nissan via email and they stated that there is no recall and therefore nothing they can do. i persisted and they said they would have a specialist review the case. i spoke with the specialist on the phone and they stated that they may be able to reimburse me for the part but not the labor since i didn't take it to a nissan garage. i explained to them that the closest garage is an hour a way and so then on top of that, they would have (or i would have) had to pay a tow bill of over $200 as well. there is no reason this should have broke and is a huge safety concern. my son and i were in danger when this broke, which is why the 2013 models have had a recall on this part. the fact this is a 2015 is irrelevant because it's even newer than a 2013 and still broke, so there should be a recall. luckily i was on a highway going pretty slow compared to an interstate. i most definietly would have crashed my car if i would have been on the interstate or going any faster than i was. please consider declaring a recall. thank you for your time.

The lights on the vehicle are too dim which are a safety hazard, making it difficult to see at night.

The contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that the transmission seemed as if it was experiencing a failure since the vehicle would jerk while driving with an abnormal odor of coolant burning. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 7,200.

Just purchased this car used from a dealer. upon driving it at night i’ve found the low beam headlights are significantly dim. this is a serious safety concern.after doing research on this issue i’ve found that the reflector bulbs inside the headlight assy burn off the reflective coating thereby rendering the bulbs ability to broad at light very poor.

Airbag light remains on after being checked

I was in turning lane and when traffic cleared enough to turn i pushed gas, and nothing happened it was just idle, no rpm, no movement let go of gas pushed again barely moved and then didn’t go anywhere. oncoming traffic at that point was approaching then it engaged and was fine! it did it two more times as i was sitting at light and once while just driving

The contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated while driving approximately 15 mph and making a left turn, the vehicle shifted from power steering to manual steering mode making it difficult to steer the vehicle. the contact stated that the vehicle regained power steering functionality momentarily however, the failure recurred. there was no warning light illuminated. the local dealer was made aware of the failure however, the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 19,000.

My concern is the headlights when driving at night. i have been stopped twice because od dim headlights.

Aloha sir/ ma'am, i am very upset that my car has recall and the nissan dealership is not able to resolve the recall issue. i am not being able to use my car for any commercial purpose like turo, uber, lyft due to recall. please assist me to get rid of this problem. i took my car to tony nissan at wapio hawaii. they told me that nothing needs to be fixed but they were not able to remove my car from recall list. they told me to contact to the manufacturer. please help. v/r,

Driver's air bag light came on, staying on. i took it to the dealer on appointment. after having vehicle 2 days, they were unable run diagnostic tests, too busy. i was told to bring it back next week. it seemed that he was hesitant to proceed because of the probability of not easily finding the problem even with diagnostics. i called another dealer and he patiently explained the numerous tests involved in tracing down the problem only to often not identify the exact problem resulting in additional costs to the consumer sometimes at great expense. he did say the air bag will not deploy if the warning light is engaged. i feel this is a safety defect that should be recalled. the manufacturer should ensure that their repairman have the ability to quickly identify the source of the problem. at present this is not a recall item. i am reluctant to proceed with repairs that have so many unknowns yet also afraid to dirve the vehicle in its current state.

I was driving and the vehicle started to accelerate on its own as i proceeded to press the brakes the vehicle got faster

On sat. 8/7/21 i was driving on a bridge overpass on roosevelt ave. in carteret, nj at approx. 8:15pm when the hood of my 2015 nissan ultima suddenly popped wide open, obstructing my view. there was only as tiny gap between the hood and car that i could peak through. i tried not to panic. i slowed down hoping and praying i wouldn't the car in front of me and the cars behind me wouldn't slam into me. the immediate car behind me was able to swerve around me into the other lane and the others were able to stop without hitting me or hitting each other in a domino effect. as cars were whizzing by in the left lane and cars were stuck behind me, i waited for a safe moment and got out to see if i could shut the hood. with effort i managed to shut down the hood, but it wouldn't lock properly. i had no where to pull over so i decided to drive very slowly with emergency lights down the road overpass and then pulled over. i was eventually able to drive slowly and get home without further incident. several months ago i took my car to the dealer after receiving a recall letter from the manufacturer about this problem. there was only a temporary fix at the time and was told i would receive notification when a permanent fix was available. i was assured the car was safe to drive. i did not receive any further communication from the manufacturer or the dealer. i thought it okay to drive and never imagined this would happen. it was a miracle i didn't crash my car; it would have been a terrible outcome for myself and others. i will be calling them and demand a tow to the dealership for the hood latch repair. the car is absolutely not safe to drive! i just found out on your website that there is now a permanent fix. as of yet i have not been notified! why is that? this is very negligent and inexcusable! they need to be held accountable! thank you for your help in this matter.

Air bag light stays on doesn't blink...got diagnostic done it read b0020-13 front seat ..now light still come on

While driving on the highway at a speed around 65 mph, the traffic suddely stopped ahead, so hard braking was performed and the car came to a complete stop, and afterwards the vehicle didn't respond to any gas pedal input for few seconds. i took the vehicle to my local nissan dealership for check up, but they claim the vehicle drives normal. knowing that this generation of nissan altimas has defective transmissions and a class action lawsuit was settled with an extension of transmission warranty for 2 years or 24,000 miles. thank you

The headlights are not bright which causes it to be difficult to see. also headlights keeps going out with constant replacement of bulbs. the headlights ballast are not durable

There was no incident, but the halogen projector beam headlamps have become progressively more dim over time due to a manufacturing defect which caused delamination and degradation of the reflective surfaces within the headlamp assembly. the problem has gotten so severe that it is unsafe to drive the car at night because of reduced visibility due to the dim headlamps. this is not due to hazy or cloudy plastic lenses of the headlamp housing, which is common to all vehicles with plastic lenses. my lenses are still clear and even in vehicles i've driven with very cloudy lenses, the lamps are much brighter than mine. apparently, this is a widespread issue with these nissan altima halogen projector beam headlamps. nissan has refused to acknowledge this problem. this is a life safety issue that should be addressed by a recall. please provide a complaint number or confirmation of this report in the event that an incident related to this issue should arise which may require litigation.

Airbag sensor warning lamp is on. has happened in the past as well but nissan fixed it since there was a recall. now the car is outside the warranty, nissan does not want to fix their defected airbag components/sensors and is asking for $1700 to start with a replacement part on the back of the driver seat and does not even guarantee the fix, they say more diagnosis/repairs might be needed after the first fix. i need help. nissan north america refused to help and told me if i want i can reach out to nhtsa since there is no recall at the moment. the air bags will not work in the event of a crash and my wife drives this car everyday with my 2 little girls. can nhtsa help with this safety issue? i purchased this car brand new from nissan, i am the only owner and this car has never been in an accident.

The headlights were so dim that i basically could not see at night. replacing the bulbs did not help. this is a significant safety issue.

In the dark, low beam headlights are too dim. i have to use high beams all the time, causing other drivers to have limited visibility due to high beams being on.

The passenger air bag light is showing off, cannot get it to reset by the switch or turning the car off.

Purchased vehicle used. test drive prior to purchase was at daytime. the first time vehicle was driven at night the low beam lights were noticeably dim. had to switch to high beams in order to adequately see enough to safely drive. research indicates this is a know issue with this year model.

The contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 20v315000 (latches/locks/linkages) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. the contact stated that the hood latch failed to open after multiple attempts. the contact then used a lubricant to unlatch the hood and was able to open the hood latch as needed. one day as the contact was driving approximately 25 mph, the hood inadvertently opened without warning. the contact was able to pull over and assess the damage to his vehicle. the contact stated that the end of the hood closest to the windshield was bent towards the side which caused damage to both sides of the front quarter panels. despite the damage, the contact was able to close the hood and drive the vehicle slowly back home. the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 36,200.

The contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated while driving at nighttime, he was unable to see the road while using the low-beam headlights. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. a dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 169,000.

Car was misfiring for a while. got spark plugs and coils changed. two days after they were changed car still kept misfiring and jerking and wouldn’t change from the first gear and takes a minute to accelerate after a complete stop. has white smoke coming from the muffler. two days ago it stalled to start and would not drive or reverse. dash board keeps saying system malfunction and ldw (lane departure warning) and bsw (blindspot warning) and check engine light stays on.

Both sun visors have failed. they no longer hold their positions. they just droop at random. i consider this a real safety issue for the driver because the visor can droop at any time and i pair the driver’s vision.

My teenage daughter drives this car daily and last week upon traveling to work on the highway the rpms jumped and her car lost acceleration and she wasn’t able to pick the speed back up. she was losing power. the car was shuddering when she was accelerating and taking off and it was jerking with gear shifting. she was almost slammed into from behind when this happened. dealership is telling us we need a new transmission. we purchased the car in 2016 and jan 2017 we had the transmission computer module reprogrammed at the dealership, per nissan recommendation.

I believe the headlights need to be recalled & re-done due to you cannot see to drive the car very well at all at night. i purchased this car in april 2021 & i have had this issue since i bought this car. i have had it inspected by the dealership auto garage & they did check & said there was no recalls in the headlights so i would like the whole headlight be replaced before i have a major accident due to not being able to see the road ways at night. there are no warning lights on so this is just a poor design in the headlights! please replace!!!!!

The contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated the driver's side low-beam headlight was inoperable. the driver used the hi-beam headlights while driving the vehicle. the local dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 142,348.

The low beam headlights are not bright enough to see clearly at night. replaced both low beam bulbs with hid bulbs and they are still too dim to drive safely at night.

Involved in +$6,000 not at fault front end crash on 9/29/2021 in tampa florida. aggravated previous knee problems. vehicle is currently at caliper collision in saint petersburg, florida. insurance involved. air bag failed to go off. all front end safety sensors failed to work. previously vehicle was taken to dealer to have forward collision/emergency braking fixed after light on dash was on. was told it was fixed.

The headlights on dim only project 5-10 feet, thereby forcing the driver to use bright lights at all times. this problem was first noted in december, 2018 and again the summer of 2019 when another driver used the car. i do not generally drive at night. however, other family members are now greatly concerned as the problem has only deteriorated. headlights were restored this summer at the dealership and bulbs were replaced in september. bulbs were then replaced with high intensity bulbs. neither attempt to fix this problem has helped in any way.

The contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated while driving 72 mph, an unknown warning light illuminated. the contact veered to the side of the road and turned off the vehicle. the contact stated she restarted the vehicle and switched gears to drive but the vehicle failed to respond and would not move. the vehicle was towed to the residence. an independent mechanic arrived at the residence and diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. the dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vin was not included in a recall for the transmission failure. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 180,000.

Twice now when i have gone to pull out my car has died on me with no warning.the first time was in aug,2021 the next was in sep or oct 202. i have also noticed that when i'm driving and not accelerating (like going down a hill) then start accelerating the car will sputter like if it's not getting gas. it is really scary when it has died on me pulling out i've almost got hit by other vehicles.

Moments car will not accelerate after stepping on gas pedal till one completely steps on it all the way down after coming to a stop. car will roll first then jerk to accelerate after pressing gas pedal down fully. notice the issue happens when car gets too hot from frequent stops. had transmission flushed and it solved the issue for a bit but began again recently.

Head lights, very dim/low visibility. marker/daytime running light went out. i’ve been having to use high hi beams at nights because my low beams are very dim which can be a safety concern for other drivers as well as not being able to see more than 10 feet in front of me. the ac e knob also stays on when trying to turn it off and does not start the compressor to make the air cold

The headlights on my 2015 altima are so very dim. it is as if they are not even on. all passengers that ride in my car ask if my headlights are on when they are in the car. i started to notice this dimming about 2018/2019. i took my car to the dealership where i was told (the first time) that i must have put too bright of headlights in the unit. (which is not the case as i know it takes h-11). the next time i took it to the dealership they told me that they are dim because my windshield has tint on it. (which i know was not the cause as i tinted the windows and windshield shortly after purchasing my altima). the next and last time o took it to the dealer they said it was the housing that was cloudy (from the inside of the headlight). i was told my only option was to replace the whole headlight units for about $1,300.00. that was a hard no since i was not responsible for any of these issues. so i decided to get fog lights installed. even looked into getting led headlights. the led headlights made no difference in visibility. the fog lights help very little. but a little is better than nothing. and that only cost around $200.00 at a mom and pop shop. way more affordable than replacing both headlight units. so the shop i took my altima to informed me that the projection piece of the headlights was the actual problem. that my only option was to replace the entire fixture. (of course the mom and pop shop would do it for wayyyy less but still an expensive repair i didn’t want to have to do. i felt eventually enough 2015 nissan altima owners would complain and this would turn into a recall. my car is available for inspection, has been inspected by nissan’s own certified mechanics, and then also by another shop. the visibility is so poor i’m afraid to drive at night. i’m afraid of hitting an animal or even a person! i can’t see pot holes to avoid them. and i can’t just go around driving with my high beams on! this needs fixing asap! unacceptable! 2nd nissan i have purchased

Transmission is out and the car only has 139,000 miles on it. i'm told the cost to replace the transmission is $4,000 on average. i'm told that mechanics are seeing major issues with the cvt transmission. what can be done to help consumers with this issue during these troubling economic times?

This car only had 136,000 miles. the transmission failed. research shows this version of nissan has issues with its cvt transmission. the transmission has to be fully replaced by a new transmission costing upwards of $5,000. based on my research multiple nissan cars with cvt transmissions are having issues and costing owners money.

I was driving on the freeway when the driver side rear control arm broke. car suddenly pulled across my lane and began violently shaking. i was able to regain control and safely slow down and stop. upon investigating, i found the left rear control arm broke at the weld joint near the base. car was unable to drive and needed to be towed. repair costs are pending at this time. had there been a car in the lane next to me at the time, a collision would have occurred.

Headlights are excessively dim and do not effectively light the roadway. replacing the bulbs does not remedy the situation.

I was on the highway and my car would not accelerate at all, during up hill or flat portions of the highway . this was was super scary because i’m on the highway in pennsylvania so there’s semi’s flying by. so i pulled off an exit turned the car off waited, unplugged the battery and after a few mins i plugged the battery in and started the car. this did not work at all, so i took a backroad home, later on the car started working correctly. i made an appointment to get the car looked at (thank goodness for extended warranties) but it happened again while i was getting on the highway, i almost got hit by a semi hauling a reefer, almost peeled myself swerved into the side of the highway. cause a ton of traffic, cuz i could not get home any other way, so i took it in that same day freaking out cuz i almost died. the said it was a bad o2 sensor and that it was covered under the warranty. so they fixed it and everything was fine until last year i got sideswiped by this old lady in a old af hyundai suv. and she literally took my entire front fascia so my insurance covered all the repairs and the rental i needed but once they gave it back i noticed the car was hesitating again i legit took it right back. i think i only had the car for 20mins. so they took it to a nissan dealership so they could run their own test because the o2 seemed fine. turns out the tranny needed an update… didn’t know that transmission could get an update like my iphone. anyway the car has been working perfectly fine since i did have to buy aftermarket head lights since the oem are trash and in pa there’s tons of deer everywhere. i do take very good care of my car it is currently at almost 180,000 and still runs super well. i do keep up with all maintenance since i do it myself. haven’t had any real issues that i can’t fix. with the exception of the ac not working but the car is obviously out of warranty and i haven’t had the time to get under the beauty cover to look at it.

The control arm broke due to rust. this happened while i was driving. i read that nissan recalled 2013 and 2014 altimas due to this exact same problem. my car is 2015 but experienced the same problem and it is very dangerous. the arm might have had a crack in addition to rust. i don’t know when the crack happened since i bought this car used. when i examined the break, the rust and crack have been there for a long time.

The air bags were repaired ( non-accident related ) and now the airbag light has come back on.

Airbag light came on in september 2021.took to dealership on october 5, 2021. they ran a diagnostic test and charged me $160 to tell me that code b0020 aide airbag module left side is open. i purchased extended warranty when car was purchased new. platinum plan $2098. nissan is unwilling to do anything to help with airbag situation even though they have a very long history of airbag issues. they quoted $1900 for the repair. extended warranty company does not cover any repairs on safety equipment!!! how can this be? nissan encouraged me to purchase extended warranty because, and i quote “the sensors and all of the electronics are very expensive to replace if something goes wrong”. so i fell for it. is there anything you can do to help. the car is 7 years old and i really don’t want to spend $1900 on this. right now i can’t drive it, or sell it and it won’t pass inspection. do i have options? thank you for any help or suggestions.

My engine service light is on and i have scanned with diagnostics. the code p0101, c119a, and c1155 with the most likely solution is to reprogram the power train control module(pcm).

I have a 2015 nissan altima that was purchased brand new in 2016. over the past few years the headlights have become very dim. it looks like the lights are not on while driving at night. you can barely see the lights on the road which makes it a safety hazard. it's even worse when it's raining or foggy outside. i've taken my car to the dealer a couple of times for them to check out the lights and replace the bulbs. they told me that replacing the bulbs wouldn't do any good and that the headlamp assembly will need to be replaced. recently i received correspondence in the mail in regards to a class action lawsuit against nissan for the defective headlamps. the same issue i'm having with dim lights caused by delamination of the reflective surface inside the headlamp assembly. i took my car back to nissan and told them about the lawsuit which directs nissan to replace the headlamp assembly. the nissan dealer inspected the headlamps and did some kind of test and told me that my headlamps are fine and didn't meet the criteria that nissan gave them to replace the headlamps. this is still an issue with my vehicle and it is still a hazard to not be able to see the lines on the roads while driving at night. i've also talked to the nissan consumer affairs but they didn't offer me any solutions other than to call the number for the nissan settlement administrator. no one answers the phone and i only get the recorded messages with information about the lawsuit that i already got from the website.

Took car in and asked nissan dealer to inspect rear lower links as there was a creaking noise and had just received extended 10 year warranty from manufacturer on components. said completely fine. 3 weeks later driving down the road heard a thump in back end and car became impossible to control even at less than 20 miles an hour causing it to fishtail from lane to lane. took car back in for repair and passenger side lower link completely rusted and snapped. drivers side was also completely corroded and upon removal was also cracked. this could not have happened in 3 weeks time if inspected and had nothing wrong. dealer told me even though they were completely corroded, which was what the warranty stated, they could not repair until physically broken as per nissan. dealer has stated they have had others with issues similar to mine but manufacturer will not replace until physically broken, which then creates a serious hazard to cars occupants and others on the road. i do not feel the perimeters of this recall are at all safe, as if i had been on a major highway doing 65 with this vehicle a serious accident would have occurred.

The contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the driver’s side sun visor would independently lower, causing a visibility hazard. the contact initially spoke with the dealer who referred him to the manufacturer for assistance. the manufacturer was then notified and referred him to nhtsa to report a safety complaint. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 54,000. the consumer stated the vehicle was serviced and sun visor was replaced on aug. 30, 2022.

The headlights are so dim due to delamination, it's a serious safety hazzard because you cannot see more than four feet in front of you at night. i try to avoid driving at night like the plague. i've read where people have had accidents and have been pulled over by the police because the light output is way too low. i'm also aware of suarez vs nissan lawsuit due to this issue.

Steering - rack and pinion issues - struts leaking possible factory defect per dealership. it is extremely unsafe to drive with a bad rack and pinion because you no longer can control your vehicle and keep it in a straight line. there would be so much free play and your vehicle would just wander on the road. this could be fatal for you and the other drivers. the problem was confirmed by the dealers (alhambra nissan dealership in california). there were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.

The contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that while driving at 40 mph, the headlights were not bright enough to view the road causing her view to be obstructed. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the headlight needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired twice however, the failure persisted. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 17,000. .

I was driving when the hood opened a little bit. i pulled over so i can shut the hood and once i closed it, the airbag light came on. i took my car to get the airbag light diagnosed and i was told i would need to replace the airbag sensor as well as the whole driver airbag. my dealership did not have the eta of the airbag for replacement. they first appeared back in december, i figured the light would go away by itself since nothing really happen other than me closing the hood.

I purchased this car second hand and the headlamps have been very dim since purchasing the vehicle. these are available for inspection. i cannot see without my bright lights on, even on moderately lit roadways. driving with dim headlights is dangerous for me (as well as others) and driving with my brights on is dangerous to others. i received a letter regarding a class action on the headlamps and scheduled an appointment for replacement referencing the letter when i scheduled. when i arrived for my appointment i asked if i pay out of pocket and and am reimbursed? i was told no, they would do a spray test, and if failed, nissan would replace. when i picked up my vehicle i was told the headlamps passed, to my extreme surprise. my invoice states “sprayed headlights with nissan glass cleaner, headlight pattern ok”. no test was mentioned in the class action letter. i was told to contact 1-800-nissan1 if i had a problem. i called and nissan was apathetic. i called the number on the class action letter and was unable to speak to a person. this problem has been evident since purchasing the vehicle. nissan refuses anything is wrong and my vehicle is practically inoperable at night.

Lowbeams on car are dangerous hen driven at night. can hardly see 10 feet in front of car

The headlights are so dim and cause me to be unable to see the road and makes it non driveable at night time.

Head lights are very dim

My transmission has went on my car. i’ve only had my car for 3 years. the car isn’t that old..while driving on the highway my car stopped and would not shift gears.i took my car to nissan they claimed to fix the problem but my car stopped on me once again while driving. the dealership fixed sensors in the engine. after the problem was not fixed the said it was my transmission. this is a safety issue and could have caused a accident. other nissan drivers are having this same issues..this is happening to multiple nissans around the country. there should be a recall opened on the transmissions. why should we the customers hav to pay for faulty transmissions.

The contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed at night, the headlights failed to illuminate as needed. the vehicle previously had the headlights replaced on three separate occasions by an independent mechanic; however, the failure recurred. the vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the dealer could not duplicate the failure and declined to perform manufacturer campaign number: pc861 associated with the vin. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 116,000.

I took my vehicle in for the light delamination recall. in the last year i have had to replace my headlamps with with three different types headlights because you cannot see at night with the lights on. none of them worked. i order to see at night i have to drive with my brights on otherwise nothing is visible. the nissan service department denied the recall stating there wasn’t an issue. but prior to my appointment they stated they were out of parts.

My 2015 nissan altima sv begin losing power and revving up and rpms but would not move. when i exited the interstate to see what was going on because at that time the check engine light had also come on i came to the stop sign and when i proceeded to move forward to find somewhere safe to park the vehicle would not go but the accelerator but the rpms went up. putting my wife's life and myself in danger of uncommon traffic because vehicle barely wanted to move i had the vehicle towed to nissan dealership in the following morning the service manager called me and let me know that they checked out the vehicle and that it was a transmission and also the speed control sensor he said there was no recalls on it but did have three six and 12 month financing so that they can continue to do the repairs. i am currently just paid the vehicle off two weeks ago and i'm frustrated that this has happened. this was the third time this has happened to this vehicle the first two times my wife had to pull over waited close to an hour as vehicle cool down and then proceeded to continue home which was fine but these are happening every two to three months now.

Took my car to nissn dealership for water leak after heavy rain that could effect electrical components. before they looked at they asked if i had a sunroof and advised it gets clogged easily with this vehicle and thats why i had water getting in my car. this is a known issue with nissan but they dont address to consumers and. mt car also had a mildew smell now as well

Cvt transmission is shot. nissan says they have "fulfilled their obligation" due to the warranty being out of date. had a lifetime powertrain warranty with the dealership which was shut down by sos police. now no one is responsible for this transmission which nissan knows is a terrible product. lasted 6 years. there should be a recall on all of these transmissions which seem to affect the altimas the most.

The contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated while driving approximately 25 mph, the vehicle was jerking. the contact was unaware if there were any warning lights illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed with transmission failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was unknown.

For the last few days my car has been hesitant to accelerate. at low speed acceleration it jerks a few times then the rpms go way high and is slow to shift & accelerate. it is automatic. this problem has been gradually increasing over past 2 years. i did take it to a dealership when the hood latch was replaced due to recall this year and they just suggested i drain/replace the transmission fluid in hopes that it fixes the acceleration issues. they already knew when i went into the dealership that it wasn't in warranty anymore and because i couldn't afford to fully fix the problem they just brushed me off. this isn't a safe car anymore to drive. i have 2 children and this is our primary vehicle. i just know whatever this issue with the transmission and power train stuff is not safe and it's only a matter of time until something major brakes down, i just hope it does not clunk out on us to where we wreck. these power train/transmission issues have started affecting the cruise control, air flow of the car, and possibly affecting the sensors which then could be another ordeal with electrical issues. nissan what is wrong with the tranny/power train > extend the warranty or find and fix this issue i bought the car in 2018 with less than 20,000 miles and have done regular maintenance, new tires every year, oils changes, replacing air filters and wipers, replacing brake pads, ive had to replace the brake booster already and flushed the whole brake system because of this acceleration issue i figured the brakes causing the lag but this car is just falling apart these past 2 years, rust on the trunk near the silver trim has caused the trunk to open on its own and the back-up camera feels like its slowly going out, the headlights are too dim to drive at night(even the brights now are dim), the rear passenger window just dropped down one day off the roller and i can't get the window back up and stay on the roller. problem after problem. safety concern after safety concern.

I received a class action lawsuit settlement for the headlights of my nissan ultima when i contacted the dealership they said there is a no contest i don’t know what that means but i know i was supposed to receive replacement headlights due to my headlights being so dim it’s hard to see while driving at night and is really a safety hazard nissan is not honering the settlement

I'm having the same problem with this nissan altima 2015 that i had with my nissan altima 2010 where it was a recall on the cvt. there are times when i'm pressing the gas, and the car will not and i have to pull over, turn the car off, and turn it back on. when i'm at a stoplight, and i press the gas it will not accelerate with my foot all the way down on the gas. the car will then jerk, and take off really fast. there have been several times when i have almost had accidents.

I was in the left turning lane and my light was green. i looked before making the turn and i proceeded to turn into 177st on jamaica. as i made the left turn into the lane the 2009 black honda accord was speeding and hit the back end of my car as i was already in the street that i was turning into and he left the scene. i called 911 and told them that the person had left the scene but within 10 minutes he returned and wanted to argue, people who saw came out in my defense and calmed him down, i then asked for documentation as the police suggested that we switch informations and he was hesitant in giving them to me so he called the police himself. when we did exchange information, his insurance and registration are in someone else’s name and they are both expired as of 2020.

The problem with the c17f1 cvt judder when pressing the gas the car would not go. so you turn car off. then restart car pressing gas all the way down, and the car jumps forward and luckily doesn’t hit car in front of you. nissan is well aware of cvt transmission problems on 2011 and 2015 altima’s in which now it costs me $5400.00 to replace this transmission. nissan should of advertised this car as lemon transmission car because you are almost guaranteed to have the transmission replaced. my car has 102 thousand miles and i’m forced to pay $5400.00 for this defected transmission that nissan was well aware of. i hate this car that i have paid so much money for. on top of list price plus this repair that i will never get my money back costs over 27000 dollars. i’m retired and nissan sold me a lemon.

The headlights are extremely dim at night. after replacing them, it is still extremely hard to see at night which caused me to almost hit a person crossing the street

There was a class action lawsuit for the highlights on my nissan. the first week of april 2022 we had the highlights check by a nissan dealer. we were told that it is included in the lawsuit and that they would replace the highlights. they had to order them and would call when the came in. it has been two months and they keep saying the replacement highlights has not come in. i call the parts department and was told that i could come in and pay for them. then they could have them next day. call the service department and was told again that our car is on a waiting list for the highlights. they don't know when they will well have the replacement highlights. the car can not be driven at night without the high lights on. we were pull over one night for riding with the highlights on oncoming vehicles and told that it is not safe to drive the car until the lights are fixed.

Nissan altima headlights do not work effectively and barely illuminate the roadway. recall was issued for headlight replacements months ago. car was brought to dealership months ago for headlight inspection and approved for headlight replacements. multiple phone calls have been made to find out when the actual headlight replacement will occur but still have not received an answer to if/when headlights will be replaced. have tried replacing headlight bulbs with 3 different brands/types of bulbs and none of them make a difference with the brightness of headlights.

At less than 68,000 miles, the timing chain started to fail. there were oil leaks reported over 6,000 miles before but dealer said it was due to the oil change, but we now know it was the valve cover gasket. losing power due to engine failure would be unsafe given power steering gone etc...

My vehicle is part of the class action suit for nissan altima headlamp assemblies. i have gone through the proper channels with nissan. in the interim i have had a bulb go out. at this point my car is dangerous to drive after dark and i must drive with high beams on. nissan will not do anything to help except to say that i am on the list. i avoid driving after dark as much as possible, but some times it is absolutely necessary. nissan is being negligent in this by not offering any solution and not being willing to help with the replacement bulb or trying to expedite the replacement of my headlamp assemblies. if there is an accident due to the state of the headlamps i will take legal action against nissan.

Driver side head light is defaulted does not reflect there for you are blind at night . i was pulled over by the cops and they told me that the next time i’m driving at night i will get a ticket…

When i pull on handle to open my hood, it does not open.

The contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated while driving approximately 15 mph at night, the visibility of the roadway was difficult to see due to the low-beam headlights not providing adequate illumination. the contact used the hi-beam headlights for better visibility while driving. the contact also stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 115,000.

I understand there was a recall on head lights! i called & was told they would send the information & i never received anything. i can’t see in front of me 4 feet. something needs to be done. vin# [xxx] please someone help me!! thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

My 2015 nissan altima, i've had it (7 years), started stopping without warning. last week, i've had the valve cover replaced, because it was oil coming through one of the chambers of my spark plugs, i got a new battery, & i got the oil changed to make sure that everything was flowing correctly and running clean. then it happened again. i put my car in park, i turned it off, and started again. there were no warning lights or codes that came across the dashboard. it was more frustrating because there's no warning no preparation it just does it so i did a system diagnostic ( hitting the push to start button 5 times then hitting the door button on the inside of the door jam 10 times then hitting the push to start button 3 times and the car will test all of the systems). my car was not running hot, there are no warning lights, you don't know when it's happening it feels like it's pulling or struggling with torque, and then before you know it you've come to a complete stop. it happened in the middle of an intersection. multiple codes are hiding in the system, with no indications on the dash. the code discovered by my local mechanic was p7f1 (transmission code). this is based tech bulletin #ntb15083a. hundreds of owners of nissans have indicated the same issues with no resolve from nissan or their local dealerships this is dangerous

Both driver side and passenger sun visors will no longer stay in the up position. at any time while driving the sun visor falls and blocks the view of the road. the dealer has not confirmed this problem. i know many individuals who own the same make and model that are experiencing the same problems. the only warning was the sun visor was difficult flipping up or down.

Hood latch sensor doesn’t work

Altima headlamps settlement can’t drive at night due to dim headlamps approved for replacement march 2022 by nissan dealership gray daniels in brandon ms by service advisor josiah williams and his supervisor called a month later and told they didn’t know when lamps would be available called last week to josiah’s personal phone ,left a msg and have not gotten a callback

Headlights low beams does not work properly, you can hardly see the road at night, at first i thought it was the bulbs, but i went to buy some led lights to see if it worked better but it did not, i even paid for my headlights to be polished, but did not see any change, i looked for information and there was a law sue against nissan for the headlights, they find out that the chrome inside the light gets deteriorated with time and that causes that the light get blurred,and the only solution is to buy new headlights, which i dont think is fair since is a manufacture problem and not a wear and tear issue, plus is a safety issue since you can not see clearly at night whenyou drive.

I have been in 2 accidents and air bag have never exploded. the air bag does not work and i have been to nissan several times.

Headlamps are very dim took vehicle for headlamps replacement, according to the dealership headlamps are okay. i am driving at night with basically no headlamps which makes it a safety hazard for me and other motor vehicles drivers.

The contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the passenger's side air bag sensor needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vin was not under recall for the failure. the failure mileage was unknown.

Nissan has a recall for headlamps, i am an owner of a make and model and year of said recall, and have attempted to have headlamps corrected; dealership says i won’t receive the remedy. i cannot see with the current headlight and it is a safety issue.

My car battery died as i turned off the engine in a parking lot. i was unable to unlock the electronic locks. i was stuck in my car for 20 minutes at 100 degree heat before help arrived and was able to assist. there is not a manual unlock mechanism in the interior of the car that would have helped me. i even searched online for any way to let me exit the car with no electricity. if i had been farther away, my health would’ve been very compromised- i am just lucky i did not have a child with me. as a person with multiple health issues, this scenario has me absolutely terrified.

The gear stick gets stuck when trying to shift gears it wont move from parking, headlights seem to not give enough lighting when on, i have replaced the transmission after 3years of having the vehicle, i still owe on the loan and the vehicle still shakes when driving over 80mph on the freeway. i dont currently have any warning lights on the vehicle. i have taken the vehicle many times for repairs for the same complaint that the vehicle shakes when driving it and the problem still has not been resolved. i already spent a lot of money on trying to fix the problems.

My rear rear lower control arm are both rusty and about to break

I own a 2015 nissan altima, which i purchased in 2019 from the prior original owner. recently, approximately 2 weeks ago, my airbag indicator turned on on my dashboard and has stayed lit ever since. i took it to a nissan dealership in orlando, florida and was provided with an estimated invoice for $2,500. i happened to learn online that nissan had a recall campaign involving this same issue. i also learned that during the recall campaign, nissan alerted its customers as follows: -this safety defect can kill or seriously injure you or your passengers -all safety recall repairs are free at authorized nissan dealerships -replacement parts are available for all affected nissan vehicles -a free loaner car, towing service or mobile repair in select locations may be available to assist with any inconvenience this repair may cause -contact your local authorized dealer or call 1-888-546-1048 now to schedule your free recall repair i called the aforementioned phone # for nissan and was told that this is a closed campaign. my concern is that despite the closure of the campaign, this serious safety issue has arisen for me. so, my call was escalated to the nissan consumer affairs department at 800-647-4261. i was told that recalls are vin specific and that according to nissan's system, the vin for my vehicle was not part of the recall campaign. i was told that i may contact you, the national highway traffic safety administration to report my safety concern. can you help me with this? i need to have my car repaired and i would like to have nissan pay for this serious safety issue.

The contact's wife owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, she noticed that the transmission was slipping. the contact's wife drove to their residence and informed him. the contact test drove the vehicle at 40 mph and noticed that the transmission was slipping into a lower gear. the contact drove to his residence and used an obd reader to determine the cause of the failure. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the continuously variable transmission (cvt) needed to be replaced. the dealer informed the contact that the warranty would cover half of the repair fee and he would be responsible for the other half. the failure mileage was approximately 86,000.

The contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated while driving at 20 mph and making a right turn, he lost control of the vehicle. there was no further information provided. the contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated prior to the failure. despite the failure, the vehicle was driven to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the rear driver's side control arm was fractured. the dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 100,000. the vin was not available. the consumer stated the company did have a recall and fixed the vehicle.

I bought my car brand new in 2015 from a nissan dealership. few months after that the breaks started making noise. i took my car to the dealership thinking that i needed new breaks and learned that the breakes were fine and the issue was debris accumulations inside the breaks. since then i had the same issue a number of times, roughly every 3-5 months depending mileage. through the years i learned that this was a rather known issue with nissan altima 2015. the issue requires opening the breaks, cleaning, and then putting them back. because this was a known issue, the dealerships fixed my car for free in the past. but last time, i took it to another dealership near my current location and they charged me almost $300 for cleaning the breaks. i'm reporting to see if it would be possible to investigate and find solutions for this recurring issue. i have several recipes dating back to 2015, not sure if they indicate details on the cleaning though.

Altima headlight class action lawsuit, issue did not begin to occur until after the deadline of 4/25/22 and did not receive a notice. headlights are so dim and i have to drive in the dark that this puts myself and others at risk. the nissan dealership will not look at the headlights until my vin has been included in the nhtsa database they refer to.

Low beam headlights on 2015 nissan altima are defective and nissan or dealer are not replacing as needed. this is a safety issue.

The headlights are too dim to pass safety inspection there has been no recall but there has been s sort of class action lawsuits why no recall to get the headlights replaced the entire headlight assembly is bad

Original transmissional failed at 67,000 miles. replaced under a fidelity warranty. 54,000 miles later, the transmission failed again. my safety and the safety of others was at risk due to the car not accelerating properly. car was revving to 4rpm and only going 20mph. no warning lights appeared, i drove straight to the dealer to have it diagnosed. 2 "red codes" came back indicating needs to be replaced again, at my own expense.

Airbag light on permanently all of the sudden on the dashboard. if the airbag system is not working properly it puts me and my passengers at risk of serious injuries if they don't work properly. no one has checked it since it appeared aug 1, 2022. no warnings before it showed. just one morning the light went on.

Dim lights do not provide adequate lighting. even after replacing bulbs, amour of light given off on dim setting does not provide adequate lighting for safe night driving.

Driver side rear door lock malfunction. will not lock or unlock with power button or keyless remote system. manual lock very hard to lock/unlock.

Passenger airbag repeatedly registering a warning light despite multiple attempts by mechanics to fix the issue. the light will usually go off briefly after attempted repairs (long enough for car to pass inspection, for example) but turns back on once the car is driven only a short distance. unclear whether the problem is a sensor issue alone or whether the airbag is actually nonfunctional. problem has existed since july 2022; it is currently the beginning of september.

Both rear doors are not opening from the inside. at first the right side rear door wasn’t opening and i filed a complaint here-few years ago. now the left side rear door has stopped opening from the inside.

Received a recall notice from nissan usa that said headlights could dim below acceptable levels. took the vehicle into colonial nissan in charlottesville va in april 2022. dealership confirmed our car had the problem but said no parts were available. i have checked back every 30 days since then and am always told no parts are available and nissan can’t say when they will be. we have ceased driving the car at night due to dim headlights.

Low beam headlamps very dim causing poor lighting. had headlamps replaced per law suit settlement agreement. still problem unresolved. returned to dealership to complain and was told headlamps pass their testing. still low beam lamps are so dim its creating a safety hazard, so, i drive with high beams on. dealership refused to drive my car at night to verify hazard. dealership told me to buy aftermarket headlamps and they will charge me to install. this issue is not being resolved with the law suit agreement and many consumers are very upset that they are driving around with very low beam lighting.

The contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated upon starting the vehicle, the air bag warning light illuminated. the contact stated that the failure persisted. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the front passenger's side air bag sensors had failed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. the failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

Left rear lower control arm broke while driving due to rust and cracked weld. i was lucky to be going at a slow rate of speed when it happened. the rear left tire turned inward and it was undrivable.

My airbag light stays on with or without people in the seat. vehicle has 120,000 miles.

Have trouble seeing where i'm going in the dark. nissan knows about this problem, but says it could take 9 months to get replacement headlight assembly. how did nissan get away with not getting a safety recall? did they line the right pockets?

Cvt failure and headlights failure

The contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that while driving at night, the headlights were extremely dim. there were no warning lights illuminated. the contact called the local dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed and it was determined that the headlight assembly needed to be replaced. the parts were on backorder and the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted but no assistance was provided. the approximate failure mileage was 140,335.

The front headlights of this car do not work properly. it is almost impossible to drive this car at night without always using the high beams - the front headlights do not provide enough light to see the road, people or animals clearly. this is a mayor safety hazard, not only for the driver but also for other vehicles and pedestrians. this is an issue that has taken place since the car was purchased. therefore we opt not to drive this car at nighttime if we don't have to. i'm reporting it today because we were unable to return to the house before it got dark, and it was very scary to drive without properly lit roads. thank you for your prompt attention to this issue

My husband was driving down a flat, smooth, paved road at 30 mph when both control arms on his vehicle broke. the car started "fish tailing" wildly, making the car extremely difficult to control and nearly causing an accident with my child in the car. no one has inspected it except for the dealer (in jamestown, n.y.). there were no warning lights or sounds on the dashboard prior to the incident and no indications of any failures after the incident either. my husband heard an odd sound at the exact moment the car started "fish tailing" wildly.

Since i bought my 2015 nissan altima, the low-beam headlights have been dangerously dim. i stopped driving at night as i almost hit pedestrians. i'm jeopardizing my safety and others on the road. installing a new headlight did not change visibility and the nissan dealership inspected the problem and recommended an "aftermarket" headlight assembly. there are no warning symptoms or signs of this problem and the vehicle is still equipped with its original headlight housing.

Hello, on october 15th, close to 5 pm, i was driving on a busy highway surrounded by other cars when suddenly, the hood of my 2015 nissan altima slammed into my windshield. there was damage to the hood, a cracked windshield, the left side wheel was pulling to the side, and there was damage done near the sunroof top of my car. the interior light box inside the car was hanging. my insurance was made aware of the incident. i am a 67-year-old woman. i and others on that highway could have lost our lives. please get in touch with me asap about this horrific incident. photos were taken of the damages.

On my 2015 nissan altima, the srs warning light came on and my dealership advised me that there is an obd error code of b0028-13 for the passenger seat ocs. upon researching recalls for my vehicle, i discovered several nhtsa campaign numbers, including 15v681000 and 16v244000, which appear to cover this problem with 2013-2016 nissan altimas. however, when searching my vin for recalls, i get a zero. i'm trying to learn why four model years of altimas are covered for this problem, but mine doesn't seem to be. thanks for any guidance.

The are warning lights coming up for the passenger side airbag system. the dealership in rockville maryland confirmed the problem and said they would charge a lot of money to fix it. i have studied this problem on line and noticed that there are a lot of cars just like mine had a recall for this issue and were covered with no charge since it it a safety issue.

The contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the hood unexpectedly opened, striking the roof, front windshield, and two front fenders. the vehicle veered off the roadway and was swiped by several bushes and trees. no injuries were sustained. an independent mechanic was made aware of the failure; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the mechanic related the failure to nhtsa campaign number: 20v315000 (latches/locks/linkages) which included the vin. the contact had not yet received notification. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer for the recall repair. the failure mileage was approximately 112,000.

For the past year in a half i have had my airbag light on. i took it to nissan they told me i needed a new seat which; the seat moves fine and theres no actual known problem with it. i then took it to a different nissan and they said it was a side airbag module coming from the left side. so from there they checked it then cleared the light and said everything should be all set. few weeks later the light came back on so i returned it to them and they cleared the light again and said it was a petty reason that it kept coming back on. months later it came right back on and i took it back and they still have yet to find a solution other than clearing the light. this is really frustrating and frighting because if they don't know why it keeps coming on i am left to think of the worst things that can happen especially when the airbag is suppose to save me in an accident.

2015 nissan altima. consumer writes in regard to defective dimmed headlights.

I brought my 2015 nissan altima sl additions on local nissan dealership back in march and i was told nothing was wrong with my last driver side headlamp, and i am experiencing delamination where it’s not so bright, i believe my vehicle has been affected by the recall but now it’s past the recall deadline date

The cruise control doesn’t work at all, then i’ve only had the car for always two years and the power steering is giving me issues. also when i roll the window up or dwn the lights will flicker

Purchased a used 2015 nissan altima 2.5s and discovered that low-beam headlights are very dim. we almost hit a deer due to low visibility. internet search reveals this is a known problem. we are too late to benefit from the class action lawsuit. a safety recall should be issued.

The vehicle console indicates an issue with the airbag. airbag error light is continually lit after the vehicle starts. nissan dealer confirms the lighted error and requests replacing the airbag as it is a safety issue.

My headlights are very dim (very dangerous) to the point i can’t see 10 feet when the sun goes down. i never got a recall notice for nissan 2013-2018 dim headlights. i need nissan to remedy my car and have the headlamps replaced asap since i use the car to drive my elderly parents to their appts because i am their caregiver.

Fatally flawed nissan headlight assembly. the dim low-beam headlights of my 2015 nissan altima have been the subject of a class action lawsuit against nissan. they may or may not have been the subject of a proposed or actual recall. my dealer is now telling me that i missed some deadline under an “inspection recall.” apparently to confirm whether my headlights are dim or not. my vehicle was in a nissan service center for other repairs in jan of 2018 and again in june of 2021, they ran my vin number. they should have told me there was some arbitrary deadline to meet to fix their fatally flawed headlight assembly. someone at nissan consumer affairs tells me that my vin number isn’t included in the lawsuit/recall. this is irrelevant. my headlights are certainly unsafely dim. my 17 yr old toyota and 19 yr old dodge both have brighter headlights than my 7 yr old nissan. i expect nissan to do what is right. this is a defective part that will lead to injury. i’m only asking for my vehicle to be safe again. this should be a wide recall with no arbitrary deadlines. i fear for the safety of my wife and my children.

This is one of the absolutely worst kind of problems that fundamentally affects the safety of the car when driven at night. problem: delamination of the headlight reflective material resulting in severely degraded headlights. a multitude of accounts including at least 2 youtube videos with many comments confirming the problem state that there is so little light the car is or is next to undrivable at night. this is a major safety issue which i am currently working around by driving with my high beams on all the time after causing a blowout on the passenger side tire by hitting an object i couldn't see and replacing the halogen with xenon bulbs before i knew what the problem was. i also nearly hit a pedestrian one night. nissan settled a class action lawsuit that required nissan to notify all owners of 2013-2018 nissan altimas and remedy the problem one of 3 ways but only up to sept 2022. the website that describes the lawsuit is at http://www.altimaheadlightsettlement.com/case-documents.aspx the problem for me specifically is that because i purchased this car in sept 2022, i didn't become an owner of the car until the very month the last remedies specified in the class action lawsuit expired. i can say with surety that every 2013-2018 nissan altima not already fixed is a timebomb for potentially fatal accidents of all types hitting any person or object imaginable at night. i question the logic of a time limit for this problem because it will most likely occur depending on how often the car is driven at night. i have just contacted nissan usa and they refuse to voluntarily extend the warranty provided under the terms of the class action settlement, but the problem is so extremely bad that there should have been a recall done from the beginning and i hope this case is addressed by the dot with expedience. imagine all the altimas that haven't been fixed which are on the road today at night. every time it happens, there is a major possibility of death to someone.

Nissan is aware that there is a problem with the headlights. there was a class action suit against them for this defect. they need to be made to issue a recall. it's very dangerous as the lights are incredibly dim making it difficult to see. i tried to get them repaired by nissan but i missed the class action suit deadline by 5 days.

I recently purchased a 2015 nissan altima for my 17 yr old son as a first time vehicle at a local dealership. unfortunately and unbeknownst to me, this vehicle had a class action lawsuit in which the deadline ended prior to me purchasing the vehicle for having "halogen headlamps (“class vehicles”) defect that causes an interior reflecting surface of the headlamp to deteriorate, resulting in dimming of the low beam headlights". this vehicle is still not recalled by the manufacturer, nissan. it puts drivers and passengers in extremely dangerous situations on the road. we have driven this vehicle twice at night and even with the high beams, you can hardly see ahead of you. i am shocked that these vehicles have not been recalled. because i purchased this vehicle a week ago, i had no idea of the recall and when i looked up the vin, the deadline passed. i contacted nissan who said they will not do anything because the deadline of the class action lawsuit passed. i contacted the attorneys for the class action lawsuit who also stated nothing could be done because the deadline passed. so here we are with my son's first vehicle, now having to dish out more money to get this manufacture defect repaired because the manufacturer refuses to accept responsibility and recall these vehicles to repair this issue.

The contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the hood latch inadvertently disengaged. the contact then stated that two days later she received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 20v315000 (latches, locks, linkages). the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the hood latch was replaced; however, the failure recurred. no warning light was illuminated. the contact stated that the latch unlatched, and the hood flew up and cracked the windshield. the dome light was knocked out of position. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer. the vehicle was no repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 93,336.

The contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that while driving at night, the headlights were extremely dim. there was no warning light illuminated. the contact notified the dealer of the failure and confirmed that the failure was a known issue; however, there were no recalls for the failure. the contact was given an estimate for the repair. the manufacturer was also contacted but no assistance was provided. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was unknown.

I am referring to my 2015 nissan altima headlight dimness. the car has been apart of a settlement which i was approved for. the settlements website is listed here: http://www.altimaheadlightsettlement.com/ i have been approved for headlight repair for more than 6months. i purchased the vehicle in december of 2019, without the knowledge of any headlight issues. i work late some times and simply cannot drive this vehicle with its headlights, it is a major safety hazard not only for myself but also for other drivers. nissan dealership that i purchased the vehicle at, had approved me for free headlight repair as listed in the settlement, and i had actually gone to the location, they performed an inspection / test and i had qualified for repair. now it has since been 6+ months with no repair, and no timeline on when headlights will be replaced. i cannot continue to be at risk of driving the vehicle at night with non adequate lighting for myself to see and others to see me. the issue occurred immediately after purchasing the vehicle and has caused me to not be able to drive it at night. the issue as mentioned above, has been confirmed and a settlement has been reached but my problem is, that the settlement has been reached and i've been approved but i keep getting the work around from the dealership putting blame somewhere else and making me wait for new headlights. it is unsafe and wrong.

Headlight assemblies are so dim, even after replacing headlamp bulbs, that the vehicle is unsafe to drive at night. nissan and dealer are unwilling to correct under the class actio suarez vs nissan eventhough vehicle was presented and confirmed needing repair during the time period

My complaint is involving both drivers and passenger side headlights. while driving from the evening on into night time and while having my lights on i can not see the light in front of me they are very,very dim. so i have to resort on putting on my high beams which causes oncoming motorists to be blinded by my high beam lights which can cause them to lose control of thier vehicle and crash into mine. i also can not see if there is any pedestrian in front of my vehicle or a disabled vehicle in front of me untill i am within a few feet from them. i can not for safety concerns drive my vehicle at night.

Acceleration isn’t steady. sometimes at a stop, the car won’t go for a few seconds and when it does, it jolts. when driving, the rpm also seems to go crazy, it doesn’t stay steady like other cars i’ve driven. someone can inspect the car but i don’t have money to pay, and i can’t travel to a dealership for inspection either. when the acceleration decides to mess up, it’s dangerous especially at stop signs or stop lights that there are blind spots in, i’m terrified of getting hit because of the car failing to accelerate. the car hasn’t been inspected by anyone that i know of. it is a salvage rebuilt vehicle so i’m assuming the dealer that i bought it from checked everything before selling it. there was also no warning message whenever these things happen.

The left back lower control arm broke into while i was driving . there is not a recall on it yet. i was traveling over a bridge with light traffic when the traction control light came on and i was hearing a lot of noise coming from the vechile .i turned my emergency flashers on and looked around the vechile but did not see anything . so i drove with the flashers on to my car repairman . when he lifted the vechile up he showed me what had happened it had rusted through. i consider myself very lucky if there had been heavy traffic i would have most likely been in a crash . the part too replace it is very hard too find .

The contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that the headlights were very dim while activated; there was no warning light illuminated. the contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer where she was informed that there was an unknown recall on the headlights; however, the parts for the repair were on backorder. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 57,000. the vin was not available.

The contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that while driving at various speed, the front driver’s and passenger’s side low-beam headlights were extremely dim. the headlights failed to operate as designed. due to the failure, the contact used the high-beam headlights while driving. additionally, the contact stated that he had replaced the front driver’s and passenger’s side light bulbs however, the failure recurred. no warning light was illuminated. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacture was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that he had not filed a warranty extension. the failure mileage was approximately 61,000.

I changed out my sway bar links cause i keep hearing a klunk sound ( metal on metal) and noticed how rusted and brittle the rear control arms. i'm afraid to drive the car.

I am the original owner of this 2015 nissan altima and i am having difficulty seeing when driving at night. the headlights are very dim. i recently (12/9/22) took my car in for service for a separate recall dealing with the hood latch. i mentioned the issue with the dim lights to them at that time and they inspected my headlights. they inspected my lights and agreed that they were dim and they informed me that the headlight assemblies needed to be replaced. they even provided me a copy of a nissan service campaign (ref pc861) dealing with halogen headlights dimming due to quality defect on the vehicle causing the delamination of the headlight assembly. however, they told me that it would not be a covered repair because the campaign had expired about 10 weeks prior to my visit. they recommended i call nissan usa and see if they could help me. i did that and they basically told me no. i spoke to several people in the organization. i feel like this is a safety issue when driving the vehicle at night and since it is a known defect and i am the original owner i believe it should be covered. the cost of the repair is $1,300. i will attach my service department paperwork from 12/9/22 where it states the lights are bad, a copy of the nissan service campaign that the dealership gave me, and a copy of a class action settlement concerning this same issue for your review. i have spoken to nissan usa several times without success so i am hoping you can help me resolve this problem. i even tried to resolve it through the better business bureau but they are being told by nissan that the car is outside the warranty. i believe a safety issue like this should be covered outside the original warranty. thanks in advance for your help.

My car is part of the headlight settlement from a lawsuit against nissan. i followed the settlement guidelines and took my car to the dealer for assessment. the dealer agreed that my headlights were defective and ordered the replacement set. the low beam headlights on my car are useless at night...often i have to drive with the high beams on to see anything. they are a safety hazard and i cannot believe there are not more accidents because of them. the headlights ordered for my car have not come in at this time. it has been 10 months since they were ordered. the parts department states that nissan has been very slow to provide the numerous sets of headlights ordered by their dealership. i could replace the headlights on my own because you can buy new oem nissan headlights online for 600 a pair. if i can buy them new online what is nissan's hold up sending them out? in the meantime, i am reluctant to drive my car at night for safety concerns. nissan admitted no wrong doing in the lawsuit and appear to be in no hurry to make it right.

I bought 2015 nissan altima from cars express on 2/17/2023. he breached verabal agreement and will not fix the safety issues. i paid him for the paint job on front bumper and paid for the paint. witnesses that he would pay then refused pay the paint men so i paid them once vehicle was in my possession front blinkers do not work headlight out. safety sensor is cut. air bag light came on and says air bags not on check engine light came on.. i tried to talk to him about safety concerns and i asked to return the vehicle for full payment including the paint and paint job i already paid him. the car was a salvage rebuilt and the hood of the car needed to be aligned that wasn’t done, safety concern is hood might open while i’m driving. he defrauded/scammed me. i’m stuck with an vehicle that is not safe, he does his own repairs which he told me he takes them a mechanic. he buys wrecks and chop shop fixes them. the car was inspected on 1/14/2023 by [xxx]. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Driving on highway when all of a sudden i started fishtailing in both lanes, i was able to regain control after about 5seconds by slowing down , i was still having control issues until i got to a speed of 20-30 mph. luckily i was only few hundred feet from my exit and got off and stopped at gas station. looked underneath and noticed the lower control arm came off or broke off.

I have a 2015 nissan altima with the headlight delamination recall warranty. the dealership found that my vehicle was affected by faulty headlights. diagnosed in may of 2022 and was told new headlights would be ordered. it is now march of 2023 and i still cannot drive my vehicle at night due to poor illumination on roadway. this concerns me as a sfety issue that they refuse to expedite, also that they admit was their issue to repair. it should not take 10months to get headlight parts into their dealership. as i mentioned the vehicle is not driveable at night safely. i ask that you look into this issue with the dealership and their lack of support to assist me as an owner. i was always told that the headlights have not come in yet and that i just have to wait. i pray they still honor the warranty work as the warranty period has expired in just waiting for the headlights to arrive. they did diagnose issue and order headlights within the warranty period. dealership name and phone# razzari nissan service dept. merced,ca. 95340 209-354-2400

In 3 different occasions in this same particular order my car would start to slowly loose acceleration of only letting me drive to 10mph before lights on dash would come on such as ps,abs,traction control ect. then my radio would shut off followed by my whole dashboard before completely the whole vehicle would completely shutdown on me and i could not start up again. i replaced the battery and put in a new alternator, but continued doing the exact same issue. i took it to a mechanic and he determined that for whatever reason the new alternator was not sending out the power and replaced it again and have to reprogram the entire computer because it was sending all kinds of codes that had nothing to do with my vehicles issue. he also noticed the continues whining sort of whistling noise coming from the powersterring as i have read in the past that people have that same problem on this particular model. as of this moment its been about 1 month and has not yet stalled on me for now, but it is very dangerous when this happens in the middle of the street or highway when your running at a certain speed and cannot control your steering since its powersterring.

Very dim headlights which create issues in less than ideal nighttime conditions.

My car only has 36,400 miles. i went for an oil change at a third party garage and was told my front control arms are cracked and need to be replaced. i went to the dealer who confirmed this and also said there was a recall on the rear control arms. i have talked to numerous mechanics who said that the control arm should not be failing at 36,400 miles. i contacted nissan asking them to help me with the cost of the front control arms since they are failing at such low mileage. they are not willing to do anything. i feel like the front should be replaced by the dealer.

My 2015 nissan altima started having some steering issues over the 2022-2023 winter. it seemed a bit stiff, but i thought it was from the snow tires i had just had placed. when it continued after change over in the spring to regular tires, i took it in and they said i had low power steering fluid. they replaced it for around $100 and it was working fine. they said there was no leak in the steering fluid, however. since they replaced the steering fluid, (over the last month), the steering intermittently will completely go out for a few seconds the car will start pulling to the side, and i will have to crank on the wheel, and then it self resolves. i took it into boucher nissan in waukesha, wisconsin. they went over it for about an hour and they said they couldn’t find any problems. this is happened two times again over the last couple of weeks. it is also starting to sound like the engine is almost going to give out at times. i don’t know what to do because if it’s intermittent, how are they going to fix it? i could take it to another mechanic, but he may not find it either. i’m a bit scared to drive and driving slowly.

A- arm on rear suspension rusted out.

Please see this other report i filled out: 11526603. thus far have paid about $1100 to get new, steering fluid, repair brakes, get a new battery, transmission fluid, and fuel injection service. they said this would fix the problem. the problem was not fixed. i took the car back again and they kept it several hours. their higher level mechanic still couldn’t figure out a problem. now, the car has a new weird noise. when i drove it this morning, it sounded like there was a motorcycle driving nearby, yet i couldn’t see one. then i figured out, it was my own engine, making some extra noise. i’m going to try to get into a different mechanic tomorrow. god help me. so now two problems: steering and engine. i hope the car will make it to the mechanic.

Received recall for dim headlights. 2016. took to dealer for repair as it said. they did not have parts said to check back later. called several times same story. have since been in for service and get same story. regular headlights so dim have to drive with bright lights on in dark. a safety hazard for sure in country.

The gas petal broke while accelerating to get on the highway. my safety was put at risk as i was unable to move out of harms way. i was shocked to find out the gas pedal was plastic. it was the original gas pedal provided by nissan and i am the original owner.

Transmission codes showing check engine light , cvt transmission

Vehicle has a current defected transmission that nissan is aware off and fixed vehicles within a certain warranty period. customers should have received letter making them aware of the defected transmission, i explained to nissan i never received a letter. i am assuming this happened because i purchased the vehicle used, the person i spoke to from nissan said unfortunately this happens. nissan should be required to fix the vehicle as they failed to notify me of the defected transmission.

I was driving along on slightly rough pavement and the car sort of twitched in the rear end and then every few rotations of the rear wheel, the car shuddered-accompanied by a grinding noise. then i noticed, that to continue in a straight line, the steering wheel was about 30 degrees, clockwise, to the right of center! i managed to limp on down the shoulder of the road at 10 mph and made it the mile and a half to my house. i thought a wheel bearing had failed, but when i took off the driver's side rear wheel, i discovered that the lower control arm was rotten with corrosion and rust and had collapsed. i searched online for the broken part but, fortunately, found out that nissan had extended the manufacturer warranty due to pressure from nhtsa. i had the undriveable vehicle towed to the local nissan dealer (matthews) and they fixed the car- same day, no appointment, no charge. and they took care of the hood latch recall at the same time. i still can't believe i have my car back, and functional, in what would be considered-in the car repair business- as the 'blink of an eye'. all's well in vestal, ny. thank you, nhtsa.

My vehicle headlights are very dim when driving. i have replace the bulbs and still it is very dim when driving at night. i did not receive a recall for the headlights for my vehicle and when i called the dealership, they said that i received an extension, but i don’t recall getting one. now that my headlights are very dim when driving at night i’m very concerned for my safety and i had asked them if they would honor the recall and they told me no. because i received an extension. not sure exactly what that means. either way there was a recall and i would like to drive in the evening, knowing that i am safe because my headlights are working properly.

This is my 3rd altima. the first 2 were amazing. this 1 is not. i bought it used from shift.com with 73k miles on it. about 6-8 months later i started feeling something wrong in the steering. the shop i took it too said the lower control arms were in the rear were corroded and the bushing were going bad. tried to get it repaired thru the extended warranty i paid extra for but that was a nightmare and we ended fixing it ourselves. something was still wrong. i put new tires on it, still wrong. changed out the struts on front and shocks on rear, new control arms,, bushings, sway bar links, and tie rods. new brake pads and rotors. then i bought custom wheels and another set of new tires for it. took it and had an alignment done. the shop said everything looked good. not long after it started drifting all over the road and i started hearing a whining noise. the next shop said the electric hydraulic power steering pump was going bad. again the warranty company only allows the shop to call in and handle any repair claims and then they make them sit on hold forever. this is my only transportation and i can't wait for it to break in order for the warranty to repair it. in the meantime trying to figure out what to do the car is getting harder to drive straight down the road. i turned left thru an intersection and ran over the center median blowing out a tire. in 2 other occasions i hit my new wheels on the curb because the steering wheel has excessive play in it. we ended up changing the power steering unit without help from the warranty. after some research i had the lower steering shaft replaced also. the entire suspension has been replaced(front struts 2x) and it only has 115k miles on it. it's had 3 alignments in 2 years and yesterday the man at les schwab said the rack and pinion has some play in it. as well as the upper steering shaft needing to be replaced also. oh and the cvt transmission is now leaking.

My low beam headlights very low ,so low seems like they aren't on,have to drive with high beams on, there was a recall in 2022, that i wasn't made aware of also the control arm front driver and passenger side is cracked and my car has never been wrecked. brought it brand new off the nissan dealership lot. had issues from the start with the interior they call themselves fixing ( but did not).

The left and right rear control arms both snapped. the right one has been repaired and the left one is in the mechanic shop to be worked on next week. the right rear control arm snapped while i was driving two months ago. the left rear control arm snapped while i was driving last night. both times the car was violently shaking and pulling left and right off of the road and into the other lane. the vehicle was only inspected by the mechanics that have worked on it and myself. the warning lamps turned on immediately but not before the arm snapped and the shaking began.

Hood latch will not release. suspect the latch or components under the hood, similar to other nissan altima's that were recalled for same issue, failed similarly and now repairs and or quick access to engine bay in the event of an emergency is impossible without first repairing the latch and components involved. called nissan dealership they said some nissan altima's had been recalled for the same issue, but not mine. no indication of failure until owner attempted to open the hood. hood had opened up till the last service at a nissan dealership. scheduled repair at a nissan dealership at my own expense since it isn't covered under recalls like other nissan altima's.

Driving to work and the car started acting like there was a flat tire and was difficult to steer properly. pulled over to find that the back left wheel is crooked. looked underneath and the arm to the wheel is completely broke. looks to have rusted out and broke completely.

My headlights that came on the vehicle are designed to where you can’t see more than 3ft in front of the car at night. there is a class action lawsuit out over these very headlights. i applied and was approved for headlight replacement but nissan for some reason can’t fix my issue. i am unable to drive my vehicle at night out of fear that i may injury myself, others or even worse while behind the wheel of this specific vehicle. i just wanted this on record so that my insurance company is off the hook if an accident occurs. these headlight are absolutely 100% useless!!!

Headlights displaying unsafe night visibility. my wife almost drove off embankment due to low visibility. the vehicle has not been taken to the dealership for inspection yet. at this time my wife tries not to drive it at night. i found through my own investigation about the headlights that there had been a class action suit concerning these headlights on nissan altimas, but we have not received any recall notice.

I was on the 15 freeway going home and bent down to pick up something i dropped and hit the car that was stopped in front of me. what i remember is my glasses flying off and i hit my chest and head on the steering wheel and also broke my foot. at that time i realized that the air bag did not deploy and the seat belt did not hold me and i hit the steering wheel with full force. i spent three days in the trauma center being treated for bleeding on the brain. there was 10 recalls on this vehicle, a 2015 nissan altima, and 2 former owners did not carry out their responsibilities to get the recalls taken care of. now i am suffering because the owners where too lazy to be responsable.

The contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated while driving 60 mph, the hood and the trunk unintendedly opened. additionally, the rear driver’s side window failed to roll down as needed. there was no warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to a dealer and the contact was informed that the hood latch needed to be replaced. the hood latch was replaced. the window and trunk were not repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 150,000.

Purchased car from third party late september 2022. immediately noticed that night driving was nearly impossible to see with headlamps on dim. going from high beams to low beams is almost like switching to parking lamps. can’t drive with high beams on when there’s other traffic it poses a hazard to oncoming vehicles. took the car into nissan dealership the following week and they told me i missed a deadline on headlight replacement coverage. only owned the car a week at that time. i swapped out bulbs and had outer covers polished. still can’t see to drive safely at night. poses a huge safety risk when night driving is unavoidable. really wish nissan would reopen any claims for the dim lighting for those who didn’t know about it before purchasing.

Rear lower control arm failed while driving. luckily i was able to maintain control. not sure if i would have been so lucky had i been on the highway. car rear end was unstable and hard to control. had vehicle towed to private repair shop then researched warranty campaign. currently having it towed for the second time to a nissan dealership.

The low beam headlamps you cannot see at night when you are driving and i just bought this car and ran the vin for recalls and it says that there is 10 recalls and one of them being problem with the low beam headlights none of these 10 recalls were fixed and i guess the date has passed and now i can't fix them i don't understand how that's fair to me when i just bought the car two three days ago and now i guess there's nothing i can do the headlamps is a severe safety issue i was told by the salesman at the nissan car lot in independence missouri where we bought the car said there was zero recalls on it

Having issues driving vehicle at night time due to headlights being to dim. in order to drive safely i have to turn high beams on. im concern for my family safety when driving with dim lights at night time.

Air bag light on passenger side stays on and unable to drive vehicle at night due to lights being so dim

Airbag didn't deploy. seatbelt didn't hold i hit the steeling wheel injury my chest hit my head blood on the brain broke my foot. vehicle was total no

My car's low beam headlights go dim quickly, if work at all. the bright light beams work as should. at times i must drive with the bright beams on just to see safely. i understand there was a settlement by nissan, however, my issue did not start until after the settlement was over. i am unable to get my headlights fixed due to the deadline. i might note, i purchased my car right before the deadline, so at that time, it was not having the issues. it is very disappointing that nissan is aware of the issue, but due to timing of this issue, they will not replace the faulty part.

The rear control arm on the driver side snapped while my wife was driving. now the rear side sways

The low beams on my headlights are so dim, i have a really horrible time seeing when driving home from work at night ; so bad, that my husband and son tried driving to see for themselves and now worry about me driving at night in my car. i’ve heard numerous complaints about this issue, and i thought there was a recall on this problem .

See attached document for complaint

Out of town and control arms went while turning a corner. my steering wheel was sideways and i was going straight. there was no warning, noises or dashboard lights prior to this happening. my vehicle has 130k but well maintained. prior to this happening i was driving on the thruway at 65mph, this could of broke then causing a potential accident or something worse. why wasn't there any warning lights advising of this potential problem?

Transmission

I have a expired recall that was not completed by previous owner. i called company and they refuse to fix my problem because it was expired.

I have a issue with my vehicle going into limp mode due to a safety issue with the tcm loosing programming with the transmission. this is a big safety as i'm on the hi way. car will go from 75 mph down to 20mph and can cause for severe car accident. i spike to your warranty department and they gave me the run around. i gave them info in reguards to a campaing id# which is a clear issue that these nissan cars are still having. a recall was terminated in late 2016, yet a bulletin was posted online of it being active as of 1/ 2017 still. i was told that it's my problem now and my issue to have nissan charge me for a reprogramming of the tcm when clearly this issue is still present in. vehicles in 2024. many of times i came close to averting a major accident due to car loosing communications with tcm. again this is very unfair as to how a dealership can brush this safety issue under the rug by simply telling a nissan vehicle owner, sorry recall was closed, after less then a year of finding out the issue on a car. nissan must want someone to end up dead in there cars due to a tcm malfunction with transmission so they can bring this to light again. the service bulletin is still out there on there forums and states nothing about warranty, milage of vehicle or any time frame, yet deny that the issue still exist in there vehicles. i hope you all can investigate this further and have nissan correct there wrongs and not allow someone to die on any americam road due to there neglect of a still persistant issue...

While stopped at a light, pressed gas pedal and car wouldn’t go for some time. after it started going car wouldn’t shift out of first. i revved the car a few times to get it to shift then car wouldn’t shift out of second. took into mechanic and had diagnosis around a pulley in the cvt transmission. also was told that the mechanic sees this model many times a year for transmission issues

Since april 2022 we reached out to nissan of vacaville, ca about the head light recall. numerous times they've told us that the headlights were not in stock. now in 2024 they're saying that they are no longer honoring the recall. they report that it has expired. i drive the car mostly at night and the lights do not work properly. it impairs my vision and thereby can cause a wreck that could result in injury or death.

I bought a used 2014 nissan altima. the dim lights do not work properly and is dangerous to myself, my familiy and to other drivers approaching me. visibility is about a cars length, if that. the dealership i bought the car from did not disclose that there had been a lawsuit against nissan for this issue. someone needs to issue a recall on all these models with defective headlights before someone is seriously injured and i would be surprised to find that there hasn't already been. im making payments on a car i cannot drive at night. please someone help!!!!!!

I understand there was a voluntary recall and a lawsuit regarding the headlight system on altimas between 2011-2018. i also understand we were supposed to have received a notification which we never received. we own 3 altimas that fall into this grouping and never received notification on any of them. the 2015 altima's lighting is pretty much non-existent. you cannot see at night and it's dangerous. took it to carson nissan and although they were very nice, we were advised that we were too late and there is nothing they can do. it would be very expensive if we fixed at our expense.

Vehicle has problem accelerating after a stop, this doesn't flash codes and so dealer claims vehicle is okay to drive... upon asking in forums this is a common issue relating to the step motor and has been replicated across various model years with varying mileage. this issue has been happening for approx the last 60k miles and the dealer cannot replicate.

I wasn't aware of the recall on my 2015 nissan altima headlights. the headlights on my vehicle are so dim, i am unable to drive at night. i was told the recall has expired for this function, which i never received any notification of the recall. this is very disturbing to know that a recall expires and i do consider this a safety hazard due to not being able to see while driving at night. can someone please assist me with this recall. i would really appreciate any help due to the fact, it's very expensive to replace a recall item to my vehicle.

Upon entering highway and reaching 75 mph, vehicle pulled hard to right.i made a correction to keep vehicle in center lane of a three lane highway. shortly after i made the first correction, the vehicle again pulled rather aggressively to the right, i again made a correction back to maintain center of lane. after making second correction, i noticed my steering wheel very off center to maintain vehicle tracking straight in the lane. (steering wheel indicating a left turn to maintain a straight track). simultaneously, the vehicle traction control indicator illuminated on the drivers display. i quickly checked my tire pressures to rule out a flat tire. i pulled off to the shoulder of the highway, as the vehicle was getting more difficult to control in a straight line. not noticing any obvious damage and the need to vacate the highway environment, i illuminated my hazards and drove approximately 5-10 mph to the next exit 1/8 mile away. arriving in a safe location, i again exited the vehicle to inspect all four wheels at which time i observed the right rear tire angled inward at a harsh angle. upon further inspection, the right rear lower suspension control arm had broken free at the bushing and angled the coil spring downward at an angle. the vehicle was not able to be driven and subsequently towed via flatbed 45 miles to my auto repair facility.

I have had issues with the very bad low beam lighting at night. its so terrible that its like having no lights on at all and riding with them on constant high beams has resulted in me being pulled over on numerous occasions by police but its also unsafe to all other drivers i pass. the low beams were why i had an accident in nov of 2023. that resulted in me going down an embankment hitting a tree head on. from that accident i also learned the air bags were faulty bc they did not deploy either. i was only injured with a few scrapes, bruises and alot of soreness but it could have been so much worse. i have the photos from that wreck that shows the damage but also how the air bags didnt deploy as well. i plan to look into what other actions i can take against nissan since they know these are issues and have not fixed them. my car was manufactured in october of 2015. i was making a right hand turn when this occured bc i could not see bc of the low beam lights. i was only going maybe 5 mph. 10 mph tops. please contact me with questions.

Air bag light will not go out. looking to see if there is any recall for airbags. no accidents or impact to vehicle. light came on about two weeks ago

The low beam headlights are very dim. i’ve replaced headlight bulbs and tried even clearing headlight lens and still not good visibility

I was using cruise control on the highway. my rpms started going up and down and my speed slowed. i took it off cruise control and the speed was irregular. the car responded slowly to my pressing the accelerator. my car started squealing and i pulled over on the turnpike. i tried to press the accelerator after i stopped but the car would not move. i was unsafe because my car was on the shoulder of a highway and it was 85 degrees. i was also unsafe because my speed was not consistent and there was traffic around me. lastly, i had to wait an hour for a tow truck. two mechanics confirmed that this is a cvt judder problem. there were no warning lamps and no signs of a problem before this occurred.

The low beam lights on the vehicle are almost non-existent. you have to use high beams for visibility which of course comes with the risk of blinding other drivers. i’ve replaced the headlight housing and still the lighting is poor. i don’t understand why these vehicles weren’t part of a recall after the class action lawsuit showed the lighting to be faulty. this is a serious safety hazard.

Head lights dim; can barely see at night.

While driving down the interstate at 70 miles per hour, going up an incline, the car lost all power & then jerked kicking back into gear. once off the interstate attempting to get to a safe place, it completely shut off without warning! no check engine lights or any warning lights. just randomly shuts off. after replacing what was assumed as the mass flow air sensor ($186.00) & the crankshaft sensor ($80) it continues to have issues. the battery (new battery $220) was also replaced & the alternator checked due to randomly shutting off-which checked out to be fine. come to find out it’s the cvt judder. after reading all the complaints, i’m confused as to why there isn’t a recall or extended warranty on the transmission. my car only has 119k miles! we should not be having issues with these transmission.

Over the last 2 years i had both left and right side rear "lower link" suspension elements "rot out" and break while operating the vehicle. both times leaving me stranded roadside. after the the 2nd failure i felt it couldn't be a coincidence and found nissan has issued a voluntary action and admitted using faulty parts in altima's between 2013 to 2018. they voluntarily extended the warranty to 10 years and unlimited mileage. they are now denying repair of my issue because i am 2 weeks beyond their arbitrary 120 month warranty extension. i say arbitrary because how can they put a time limit on parts you know to be faulty and are corroding? i have one of these known faulty parts and simply based on random circumstances mine failed 2 weeks too late. so they dodge responsibility for selling me a poor quality car? at the urging of the dealer, i escalated with customer satisfaction believing they would own up to this and acknowledge responsibility. customer satisfaction mandated i must tow the car to nissan to confirm failure of the part - which i did at my expense. the dealer confirmed the part failure but customer satisfaction parroted the "denied because it was 2 weeks too late" position. i believe nissan 1) minimized to the nstb the safety risk this failure poses (breaking while at moderate to high speeds and stranding people in traffic roadside), 2) is failing to act in good faith to cover a know manufacturers defect and 3) is employing "bait and switch" tactics by telling customer to have vehicles towed to their service centers to only then deny coverage based purely on "calendar date" (in hopes of forcing a customer to pay to use their service center).

My car has been to nissan service 3 times for a faulty airbag light - it thinks the driver seat is unoccupied when it is not - that means the air bag may not activate. the dealer has been able to turn off the light but it eventually comes back on. it meets all the criteria below for the recall but the vin is excluded. i have paid $562.02 in service fees and now they want $2,000 to replace the seat. i would like my vin added to the recall. 2015 nissan altima air bag recall nissan has announced that 919 vehicles have been affected by a air bag recall. nissan north america, inc. (nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 altima and pathfinder vehicles, 2013-2014 nissan sentra vehicles, 2013 infiniti jx35 vehicles, 2014-2015 infiniti qx60 vehicles and 2014 infiniti qx60 hybrid vehicles. the affected vehicles received an incorrect occupant classification system (ocs) control unit during a repair. these ocs control units may incorrectly classify the front passenger seat as empty, when it is occupied by an adult. if the ocs does not detect an adult occupant in the passenger seat, the passenger air bag would be deactivated. failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the passenger.

I take my wife's nissan altima (2015) to dealer (jackie cooper, tulsa) regularly and (in 2020) asked them why the headlights were so dim. told me there was a class action suit ongoing and that we could fix it and wait for the settlement to submit receipts, or we could wait and that they would call when the suit was settled. was never notified by dealership that we could bring it in to get replaced. called again to check status (10/24) i found out that the deadline is now passed and we can not get it repaired unless we pay. no dealer notification and because nissan did not ever inform us, we now need to do it on our own. unsatisfactory (and expensive). it is a known defect and should have been repaired when we brought it in for regular service. this car is unsafe to drive at night, but not due to anything we have done and it should be fixed since we were not notified. 2015 nissan altima with 74478 miles and has always been well cared for. because this is a know problem, mileage and length of time should not have anything to do with fixing it, especially since they neglected to call us. it is a safety problem. my wife (the driver) is [xxx] and needs headlights that work. i never drive the car but i did last night to get gas. the lights are terrible. dim and yellowish. i spent 80.00 on a kit to buff out the clear lens but that did little to nothing. this impacts safety and i want it fixed!!!! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Headlight brightness has diminished to levels below safe operation of vehicle in darkness. changing bulbs, adjusting beam pattern and restoring outer shell of headlight assembly did not increase brightness. internal reflectors, which cannot be cleaned or replaced, have lost their effectiveness over time. driver, pedestrian and all other driver’s safety are at risk. independent observation and multiple video streaming service videos have reported similar issues. the only recourse is assembly replacement at the expense of the consumer.

I am original owner. twice now in the early morning i have found my trunk automatically opened with out reason. i thought maybe i did it by mistake but i clearly did not after 2nd time. never has this happened in my life to any of my cars. after looking online i found other owners also experienced same occurrence with this 2015 altima. i understand it could be anything, bad battery in hand clicker, faulty electrical switch, etc. i located the on/off switch in the glove compartment and turned it off. now, i just have to remember to turn it on/off all the time so i don't find the trunk opened again. i could get my car stolen if i leave my car out side and go out of town. 1) if there is a recall to get this electrical fixed, please let me known. thank you

Myn hood latch is not operating properly. if hood is completely closed it is very hard to reopen with the latch. apparently there was a recall but i did not receive any notice.

Failure of airbags to deploy after a rear end collision by another car. on 01.31.2025. my vehicle - a nissan altima 2015 was hit by an suv while stopped at an intersection behind another vehicle. my altima was thrust forward into the vehicle stopped ahead ome causing significant rear damage to the rear and front bumper, the trunk, and left tail lights. despite the force of the collision and the resulting hit of the front car ahead, none of the altima airbags deployed to protect me from serious injuries which can be potentially fatal. this indicates that the airbags may be faulty and non-operational. the car has been deemed a total loss and insurance has declined my claim and cannot compensate me because of limited collision coverage for the vehicle, and the offending driver fled the scene and cannot be identified. the offender almost ran me over as i tried to exit the vehicle to identify them. there are no warning lamps on the dashboard except - "trunk open" warning after the incident the police inspected the vehicle and details are in the police report attached

My problems started about 2 years ago when i was having some difficulty turning in dark intersections at night. i couldn't see well enough to comfortably navigate the intersection. now it is so bad that i have trouble on dark city streets at night seeing upcoming curves, intersections, or anything out more than about 20' out. turning on bright lights fixes the visibility problem, but of course causes additional issues for oncoming traffic. i thought perhaps i had eye problems and have been to an ophthalmologist twice and they find nothing wrong with my night vision. i have no accident report or police reports to add to my concern yet. guess you will just need to trust that what i'm describing is a safety concern that deserves your attention. thank you in advance for your help with this issue.

My 2015 nissan altima would not accelerate after coming to a complete stop. while i am pressing all the way down on the gas pedal ; the car would not move ; then a few second later it will jump out. i was making a left turn and a car was coming; but luckly he notice i was having problems.

When i drive at night with the lights on low beam they are dangerously dim. it is very hard to see.

My vehicles transmission i was told it has to do with transmission i thought it was a cv joint i not but it turned out to be way more then then that the accelerator peddle would get stuck and then take off fast almost hit someone.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated at start-up the air bag warning light was illuminated. the contact took the vehicle to stone mountain nissan (4275 us-78, lilburn, ga 30047) where they informed her that the air bag in the driver’s side seat needed to be replaced. the contact was provided an estimate for the air bag repair but declined. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 73,024.

Control arm rusted and snapped at the connection point where it meets the knuckle on both sides a couple months apart. the vehicle was in motion both times thankfully on a city street after hitting a small bump for a manhole cover.

When i turn my car on and the whole time it is running there is a noise under the hood sounding. you can not hear it from inside but when you are outside you can most definitely hear it and tell the car is on due to the noise.i thought it may be a fan noise due to maybe leaving the ac on but even with it off and just turning on the car you can hear it. this car has never been in an accident to my knowledge or any fender benders at that. also sometimes after sitting at a stop light or stop sign and it’s my turn to go i put my foot on the gas (not hard) and it goes up to like 3/4 rpms and it takes a few seconds to drop down to regular rpm while driving

My vehicle luckily was parked and i accidentally opened the hood, but there was issues with it fully latching. i finally got it to close completely. when will there be a remedy for this hood recall because it is almost a year next month since it’s been reported. i need my vehicle as it is my only transportation to get around and i am scared to drive it.

Headlights on low beam have become dimmer over time.on nissan forums this is a problem on different cars. this is a safety issue that needs to be addressed.

The head lights barely works at night. it looks as if i don;t have them on. get a lot of complaints from people. after meeting another car you have to stop at night. i have 2006 nissan sentra never had this problem.

Regarding my 2015 nissan altima...the headlamps are a safety hazard. far too dim! i am constantly asked by passengers if i have my lights on. to be safe, i need to use my high beams; which in itself is not safe, however since oncoming drivers rarely flash their high beams back at me, i assume they aren't very bright either. complaints like this for this car are all over the internet and i have a hard time believing it hasn't been brought to your attention. there needs to be a recall on this. this is a major safety issue. this isn't a matter of changing the bulbs. i'm no mechanic, but it seems to be a projector issue causing many owners to replace the headlight assembly. since this isn't a cosmetic issue, but safety, why has this not been recalled? it seems to affect 2013 through 2015 models the most. since there is no date to report, and this form required one for completion, i am putting january 1st 2015 as a date.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel became firm. the vehicle was taken to boch nissan (685 s washington st, north attleborough, ma 02760) where the vehicle was diagnosed with power steering failure. the power steering shaft was replaced on three separate occasions however, the failure recurred. the contact stated that the manufacturer was informed of the failure and covered the repair cost for the third repair. the vehicle was not repaired after the previous failure. the failure mileage was 47,564.

The hood of my car keeps jamming but has a weird noise at times while in motion. the dealership is no longer in business i’m guessing because no one neither the cars are there. it’s an empty lot.. the last time as i was driving around a curvy street the hood popped opened unexpectedly

The headlights in the car are extremely dim, causing a major issue with visibility at night. this has been an issue since 2016 and i purchased the vehicle brand new in 2015 and have been the sole owner of the vehicle. i complained to the dealer about the lack of visibility at darkness and they replaced the bulbs, which did not change anything. i was instructed by the dealer that it is a common problem with the projector lens, not the bulbs. this issue has been reported in the 2013 - 2015 nissan altima's, yet nissan has not recalled it. i fear this issue will cause a terrible accident.

Extremely low visbility. bo matter how many timesbive changed or adjusting my headlights/bulbs there is no improvement at all. i finally changed the entire headlight itself and now i can finally see 2 feet in front of when its dark out. nissan used horrible quality headlights at the cost of driver safety.

Hello, i drive a 2015 nissan altima. i’m writing because i believe the headlight assembly on this vehicle are defective. they’ve quickly corroded and do not provide the proper lighting for safe driving at night. the lighting is extremely dim, and hazy at all times. i often have to use my fog lights to drive at night which are brighter than my headlights. if i’m able to without impacting another drivers vision i have to drive with high beams. i am a 22 year old with 20/20 vision so therefore the issue is not my own vision or motor skills. i have replaced both headlights 2 times in the past year with high grade headlights and it has made zero difference. i also see this is a common problem with this generation of nissan altima’s. the vehicle has this issue at all times.

Light are not bright enough to even see at night driving on dim, have to drive with high beam on which is very dangerous

My 2015 nissan altima's transmission just went out at a mere 95,000 miles. i just had all the tires and brakes repaired ready to go for inspection and the transmission randomly failed while making a delivery for uber eats. the vehicle just started stalling out after stopping and got worse from there. no warning lights or anything it just won't switch gears. i turned on my hazard lights and went home and it wouldn't go above 50, i'm lucky i even made it home. there was a recall for the cvt transmission i had looked at 3 years ago after something similar happened and i saw a class action lawsuit related to this but now i am out the repairs on the brakes and tires and stuck without a vehicle and i rely on uber eats. i think i got sold a lemon. ever car me or everyone i know had went until easily 200-250k miles before the transmission went on older vehicles; now a "newer" vehicle goes out under 100k? that's why there's a class action lawsuit out for this and i really wish i could have gotten in on it because now i'm out the cost of repairs, i can't do my job without a car, and i'm stuck with the bill for a car that doesn't work so i'm just out that money.

I was driving approximately 30 mph when i felt a slight jolt and it felt like i had a flat. i pulled over and when i got out to look at vehicle i noticed driver side rear wheel was out of align. i looked under vehicle and i saw the rear control arm corroded and broken in two.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that whenever the vehicle was at a complete stop, there would be a delay to accelerate with the transmission light illuminated. the contact had to turn off and restart the vehicle to fix the failure. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with diagnostic trouble code: p0776 (pressure control solenoid b performance or stuck off) however, the vehicle was not repaired. the dealer and manufacturer were not informed of the failure. the failure mileage was 116,000.

Wife experienced a loss of vehicle control due to the right rear lower control arm breaking while driving. towed to nissan dealer and contacted corp customer care. i referenced nissan service campaign p9324 as parts for listed 2013/14 altima were same as my wife's 15. first rep declined any assistance in repair, next rep today stated will review. this needs to be covered for all years using this part in areas effected by road salt use. had this been at her usual highway speeds would have been tragic accident with loss of vehicle control and ability to stop.

Low beam headlights are very dim. honestly i can't remember if they were ever good when i bought the car bran new. no matter what light bulb i put in there doesn't make a difference they are dim.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated while driving 25 mph, the steering wheel was wobbly. the contact exited the vehicle and noticed that the rear control arm was rusted. the low-pressure tire warning light was illuminated. the vehcile was towed to an independent mechanic. the contact called bertera nissan (569 oxford st s, auburn, ma 01501, (508) 832-9611) however, the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 68,000.

I was notified by the car sharing platform that i advertise my car on that it had a recall summer of 2020 and that i could not put my car on the platform until the safety issue was repaired. the safety issue is mostly prevalent where there is a lot of salt used for deicing the roadways on the east coast. i am on the west coast so does not apply to me. i have not been able to make any money with my car which is the only reason i purchased it. i checked today and there is still no fix... for a hood latch!! i can not sell the car as an active recall, even a minor one such as this, devalues my car and i would still owe on my loan. nissan dragging their feet on this fix has resulted in me losing thousands of dollars in income.

My vehicle has had an open recall since may 2020. however, there is still "no remedy yet available". due to this open recall i am not allowed to rent my vehicle out, causing me to lose money everyday!

Headlights are very dim, changed the bulbs twice, still dim. also, fuel pump went out.

Passenger air bag warning light is on. passenger air bag is off.

When stationary it has a delayed acceleration

Dim low beam headlights the low beam head lights are very dim and it has happened progressively. replacing the bulb does not resolve the issue and necescetates driving with the high-beam head lights, which is dangerous for other drivers.

In 2018, while filling up my gas, i accidentally pulled the hood release lever instead of my gas release lever. after pulling away, while driving the hood released and flew up to my window, causing damage along the hood. since this incident, i have been going back and forth with nissan to get it repaired. they initially denied that it was the hood latch problem, as at the time, my vin number wasn't included in the recalls (although what happened to me was exactly what was included in the recall). i was able to get an appoint with nissan corp who inspected my car and claimed that the damage was a result of rusting to the hood latch so there wasn't anything they could do. now that my vin number is included in the recall, i tried again to get the damage repair/cost covered, but they continue to deny my request stating the rust caused it. (this recall states that rust will form and cause the accident) i don't know where to turn to now as nissan is being impossible to get help from. now, even the hood release lever isn't working.

While driving the “traction control light” came on and the car felt as though it had a flat. tires looked good. went home. the next morning the drivers side rear looked as though the body of the car was almost resting on the tire. a repair garage is next store to us. brought it to them. they called to say that the rear control arm drivers side rusted and broke and that the right side needed replacing to. nissan is not honoring a known defect and the insurance company said that unless it was in an accident, they would not cover it either. we are stuck paying to replace both rear control arms at our expense. when nissan is aware that it is there issue and it should cover altima’s from 2013-2018. ours is a 2015. we live in one of the salt rock states. this is a real safety issue and nissan should have to make the repair free of charge and not let the consumer foot the bill. until fixed we don’t have our primary vehicle.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. while driving 65 mph, the contact struck a deer. the front driver and passenger air bags failed to deploy. there were no injuries sustained in the crash. the vehicle was previously repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 16v244000 (air bags); however, the failure was experienced in the crash. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 27,277. the vin was not available.

When an adult passenger (my wife) rides in the passenger seat, the airbag off light comes on. she weights 107. 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

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. while driving approximately 30 mph, the power steering suddenly malfunctioned and the steering wheel became very difficult to turn. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the power steering was faulty and needed to be replaced. no further information was available. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 19,000.

Airbag light still on after recall. found airbag control unit code stored abnormal voltage after airbag reprogram was performed. 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 . sometimes it would work other times light telling airbag was off would not work. it's back at dealer and only has 10,000 miles. i'm really concern for the safety of my family.

Recalled due to the air bag light not working properly. went into dealer and was fixed. 3 times since then the same thing has happened. dealer feels it's not a problem!

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. when the vehicle was started and when driving up to 40 mph, the vehicle vibrated intensely. the intensity of the vibrations reduced at higher speeds. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer where the technician reprogrammed the computer to address the vibration failure; however; the failure became more aggressive. 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 affairs claims it is normal and will eventually go away. the issue also causes my front windshield to fog up so bad in the morning you cannot see on coming traffic. the defrost, ac, or having the windows down does not help with the fog issue on the windshield. how can this be normal for a brand new car with 4,500 miles? dealer has had the car for 3 weeks and still cannot find the problem.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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. owner left shop and called about 20 minutes later saying that smoke was coming from under the hood. two technicians went to the scene and front of vehicle was on fire the engine compartment was a total loss and passenger area of the front windshield was also melted away. 2. after researching for this year/ make and model there has been several other cars with mysterious fires. 3. discussed with technician and the only item that was

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. while the vehicle was parked and while driving, there was a strong fuel odor present in the vehicle. the contact stated that the fuel odor was an excessive continuous variable transmission fume. there were no visible leaks present. the local dealer, howell motors, informed the contact that no fumes were present; however, an independent mechanic confirmed that the transmission valve became loose. there were also cracks in the dashboard that were visible for more than one year. the manufacturer advised the contact that if she could provide medical records indicating that the fumes created health issues, they would be able to diagnose and/or duplicate the failure. the contact stated that her injury included coughing up solidified petroleum due to the fumes and there was a strong odor on her clothing. medical attention was required. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 3,000. updated 10/02/17 *bf *js *js

Transmission failure at 63,000 miles. vehicle stationary at stop light and would not move when gas pedal pressed. no warnings or engine lights were lit. the transmission just fails without warning.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that the vehicle independently reversed without an occupant inside. as a result, the vehicle struck a neighbor's home and mailbox. a police report was filed. the vehicle was towed to grey daniel nissan where the failure could not be diagnosed. the vehicle was not deemed destroyed. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the contact suffered minor bruising due to the door knocking him down when the vehicle reversed. medical attention was not required. the failure mileage was approximately 14,098. the vin was not provided. updated 09/22/17*lj the consumer stated the vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. *js

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.

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 other people have similar issues with nissan vehicles and headlight visibility at night. i also included pictures of the headlight and you can see where the heat has cleared a path and distorted the light. thank you taking the time to review my case.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Power steering leaks contiuosly.

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.

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 the transmission independently shifted into a lower gear, which caused the vehicle to slow down quickly. the failure occurred without warning. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the vehicle was performing as designed. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 1,000. updated 10/26/16*lj

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.

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.

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 jerked and stopped quickly regardless of the amount of pressure to the brake pedal. the dealer diagnosed that the brake pads failed and needed to be replaced. 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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the rpm's would suddenly increase to approximately 4000 to 6000 but vehicle would not accelerate properly. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who was able to experience the failure but was unable to determine the cause of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 22,000.

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.

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.

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. please see similar complaints at http://www.carcomplaints.com/nissan/altima/2015/transmission/hesitates_sputters.shtml

Gear shift keeps sliding between reverse and neutral without being touched.

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.

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!!!

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 .

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

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.

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.

The hood safety latch failed causing the hood to fly open. the hood cracked the windshield and damaged two body panels on the car. the incident happened on a 4 lane state route traveling west going approximately 30 mph. i had just turned onto the road and was accelerating.

At night time i noticed my low beam headlights were extremely dim. like almost can’t even see the road dim without sitting right against my steering wheel. so i turn my high beams on to see if they were dim too but those were normal. i replaced them all with led and the problem still was not resolved. i drive at night with my high beams on until i meet an oncoming vehicle and then i usually can’t even see the road unless my brights are on(which is a safety concern for them as well). in the city, my lights do not even appear that they are on at all

Lights are very dim at night and i have to use my brights which is very dangerous.

Headlight output dangerously dim; can hardly see at night. when driving on roads without streetlights need high beams on to avoid colliding with anything

Dim headlights on low, make it impossible to see safely at night. this is a known issue with these headlights

I bought my 2015 nissan altima with 3000 miles. practically brand new in 0ctober that same year. about a year after i noticed my headlights were not as strong as they were before. i figured the bulbs were beginning to burn out. so i upgraded them to an led h11 bulb as that is the bulb the manual says is required. these bulbs were not overly expensive but they weren’t cheap either. i did a lot of research before buying. about another year later. they began to go dim as well. at this point it’s 2018 and i cannot drive at night anymore. replacing the assembly through nissan which they recommend but will not acknowledge this problem would cost me about $1000+their taxes. it is very dangerous to drive with this vehicle on the road. visibility at night is about close to zero. i can’t even pick up my family and go anywhere because it just isn’t safe to do so. i have to make trips during the daylight and before it gets dark to avoid driving dangerously into the night. i wear glasses and contacts and i use others driving near and their headlights to see better than my own car. that is ridiculous. i have called nissan to address this issue and they want to run a diagnostic and possibly replace them for over $1200 which includes the diagnostic. they need to be looked into quickly because my vehicle is almost paid off for but is too dangerous to even drive anymore. it’s a cheaply made vehicle and it should be illegal for them to put something on a market like this. how have there been no recalls yet for this? this is a direct violation of the nhtsa.

I cannot recall the exact date, but late 2018/early 2019, while driving down a residential street i noticed how dim my headlights were. being that my car is a 2015 model, i naively equated it to age and lightbulb dimness; which was not the case. i swapped head light bulbs, to no avail; i opted for the most expensive head light bulb in autozone, but still hella dim. in my most recent visit to sheehy nissan service, a recommended service is to "replace headlight assembly/bad reflections." in addition to the service being recommended, i was informed that it has been a problem voiced to service techs by many other 2015 nissan altima owners.

I keep getting emails from car fax regarding a safety recall: the secondary hood latch may become stuck in the open position due to a potential for corrosion (in regions with excessive road salt use) in the hood latch combined with improper inspection and maintenance. but the recall status is incomplete: remedy not yet available. it's been like that for months and i am wondering if i should be concerned.

Headlights extremely dim hard to see driving at night

Transmission failure not covered under recall because it is over 84,000 miles

My low beams are so low it does not look like they are on at night. this is very unsafe. if i drive the vehicle at night i have to use my high beams which is not safe for other drivers on the road. i live in florida & it rains a lot. i can't see with my low beams and other drivers can not see me. i am afraid i may get in an accident if only using my low beams or receive a ticket for driving with my high beams.

While driving the vehicle the rpm's when very high but the car would not accelerate and had to pull over to get out of busy traffic, and when stopped at a light the car would not go when the accelerator was pushed, transmission problem

The headlights for this vehicle are extremely dim and unsafe when driving at night! they are so dim that other oncoming cars will flash their headlights at me thinking i am using running daylights or have no lights on at all!! i cannot see the road well at night at all and am forced to use the high beams for safety! i originally believed that the issue was the bulbs themselves and i have replaced them twice with no resolution to the issue. i purchased this vehicle literally off the showroom floor with 9 miles on it, in feb 2016. the first bulb replacement was on 2.16.2019, and i have documentation supporting that replacement. the second replacement was on 2.22.2020, which i did myself as the cost of the labor was too high. this also did not resolve the issue. when i reached out to the dealership that sold me the vehicle, they advised that it was a known issue with the projector reflective finish inside the headlight assembly. they stated that nissan was well aware of the issue, however they have no plans on a safety recall and my only solution is to replace the headlight assembly, for a whopping $880! nissan needs to own up to this safety hazard and take care of its consumers. i have been a loyal nissan customer - have purchased four vehicles within 6 years - all new and this is how i am treated? how everyone with the same vehicle and issue is treated? there is a class action investigation happening right now over this issue, anyone who has not shared their experience, needs to do so!

Low beams have degraded to an unsafe situation. i cant safely see at night without high beams. should be recalled. this appears to be a common problem with these cars.

The headlights on dim are not bright enough to even drive at night. i have to use high beams to even see the road.

Vehicle in motion, highway and city street driving. the low-beam headlights are dangerously dim. if driving on a road not otherwise lighted by streetlamps, nearly impossible to see the road ahead. high-beams always have to be used. checked ground wire, replaced bulbs with no improvement. this has been an issues for a well over a year.

Hello, i drive a 2015 nissan altima s with 115,000 miles on it. the other night i was pulled over for not having my headlights on. the thing is, my headlights were on. my headlights are so incredibly dim (as a result of a factory defect in my vehicle) that the police officer behind me couldn't tell that they were on. i was given a warning and told that i need to address this problem. i have tried to address this issue in the past. i've been to the nissan dealership twice about this, both times i was told that this is a well known issue but there is nothing that can be done besides changing the entire headlight assembly. even if i do, i was told, this problem will likely happen again. the plastic that immediately surrounds my headlight is cheap, and as it heats up, it produces a gas that fogs up the entire headlight. the left headlight is completely useless and the right one i have around 3 feet of visibility. this has been happening since my car had 25,000 miles on it and i am fed up with it. it is too dangerous for me to drive at night without my high beams on. i know this is happening to lots of other people too. here are several articles i found after 30 seconds of searching on google: https://www.nissanclub.com/threads/headlights-too-dim-cant-see-solution.508866/ http://www.nissanproblems.com/altima-projector-headlights/ https://www.carcomplaints.com/nissan/altima/2015/lights/headlights_are_too_dim.shtml here is a class action investigation on this issue: https://chimicles.com/nissan-altima-dim-headlights-class-action-investigation/ when i reached out to nissan, a regional manager contacted me. he told me there was nothing nissan was going to do since my car was out of warranty. they will not be covering any costs, and they will not be issuing recalls unless enough people complain to the nhtsa. thank you for your help.

The dim headlights are extremely dim, allowing me not to drive safely at night unless i have my high-beams on. this has been going on for over a year now. i’ve replaced the headlights with no improvement.

I was driving down a busy road when my 2015 nissan altima started swerving i pulled over to find my rear passenger tire facing inwards come to find out the tow truck employee told me had just towed the exact same kind of vehicle with the same lower control arm break the week before. i see there is a service campion from nissan but amy vehicle is not included which makes no sense because i live and have always lived in a winter state

The front headlights are so dim it makes seeing very difficult. this is a known problem with nissan. the 3rd lane turned into a turn lane on a city street that i couldnt see due to the poor lighting and we struck a curb blowing out both right side tires and ruining the wheels.

The secondary hood latch recall has been outstanding without a remedy fix for to long. it came out may of 2020. in 4 months it will be a year. i’m not able to do my second jobs with the outstanding recall. this needs to be fixed asap. nissan needs to provide customer with a loaner until something is done because it’s a safety issue and i don’t want the hood flying up.

My daily commute takes me through rural, relatively unlit areas at night. this has become increasingly unsafe in the last year as my headlights have dimmed to the point where i am unable to see more than 60-70 feet in front of me. this poses a significant hazard throughout the year as deer are abundant in the area i drive through and any amount of inclement weather further hinders safe driving.

My car air bag light came on while i was driving but i didnt think much about it, i drove it like that for a couple months, my husband told me to take it to the dealer to get checked out, first dealer told me the cost was going to be 1600.00 and they quoted me the part was going to cost 1200.00, i refused to pay that much and we were able to get the price lowered to 900.00 but they couldn't fix it because the part was on back order, so they reset the air bag when i left the dealer the airbag light was off, the next day the light came back on, a few days later i took it to another dealer to see what they would say, first day they reset the airbag light i asked if the airbag is activated they said they did not know, i said well its still a safety issue, i asked how can the airbag be deployable then, he said we will need to change out the airbag, so they ordered the airbag and eventually replaced it, i asked what if the light comes on again he said then we will have to see whats next on the list of parts to replace, so in other words it just change out parts by trial and error, i drove off and the following day while i was driving the airbag light came on again and unfortunately i am driving my car with out a activated airbag, i am afraid to take it to the dealer again because of the cost and trial by error them not knowing how to pin point the problem, currently the airbag light stays on and i was told by the dealer that my air bag is not activated while that light is on.

The headlights are extremely dim and difficult to see in nights. i feel extremely unsafe to drive at nights. nissan doesn't have a way to fix. a full replacement will cost several 1000 dollars but not reported to yield results.

My head lights are very dim making it hard to see at night, i almost hit a trooper on a dark road at a school ,lights were very dim and he had on dark clothes.they have been getting dimer every night.i was turning in to a school .

Over a short period of time (aprox. 2 years), the headlight low-beam output has decreased to unsafe levels. at night, it is hard to tell if the headlight are even on, because they do not seem to light up the road at all. i have attempted to change the bulbs, and cleaning the lens, but neither has helped. i looked further into the issue, and it appears the reflector material inside the projector headlight has burnt off from regular use in the 2 years that i owned the car (purchased new), there is almost no reflective material left in the projector headlight. i checked with nissan dealership, and that isn't something that is covered by any of the warranties, there is also no recall for this part which i find completely unacceptable. every single 2014+ altima that i see on the street appears to have the same issue, the road in front of the car isn't lit, and i am sure it is also due to the burned off reflectors in their headlights as well.

5 years old and had to replace complete subframe, nissan would not cover due to living by the ocean , other 2 altima’s from 08 have no issues . repair cost was $3000 . figured out issue when right front bottomed out and a-arm sitting on the ground.

The headlights have been getting dimmer over time (so bad its hard to see!!) replacing the bulbs has not helped! very unsafe!!

Poor low lighting

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

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.

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.

Wheel sensor wiring needs to be fixed. i was advised this is not a common problem.

Driving down the us23/119 interstate near pikeville, ky the vehicle suddenly started decelerating from 60 mph and would no longer allow acceleration. the vehicle speed kept decreasing until it was going less than 20 mph and th driver had to pull off to the side of the road. after a tow to the nissan dealership, the problem was diagnosed to be a faulty transmission. the danger was it occurred so suddenly while driving on the interstate with no warning and vehicles easily could have collided with our vehicle. upon learning of the repair needed i searched for other similar issues with the nissan altima. i found there was a class action lawsuit settlement for 2013-16 vehicles due to faulty transmission. the suit settled with an extension of the warranty by 24 months or 24,000 miles. however, this resolution, in my opinion, is not sufficient to protect the consumers from paying often in excess of $3000 for a repair and the risk of life while driving a known faulty product. nissan should be required to increase the warranty period to be more tied to the life of a transmission and protect consumers of potential injuries due to their known faulty product.

While leaving a parking lot i went down a steep ramp and the right rear control arm broke i pulled over to check and the arm look rusted out.

Car randomly stalls and stutters. check engine light appears. can clear code but the problem always comes back. happens about once a month, sometimes days in a row.

2015 nissan altima - the low beams provide insufficient lighting during night driving and creates a safety hazard. i bought the vehicle used in 2018. i replaced the bulbs but there were no improvements. friends and family notice the problem and are afraid to drive at night in this car. research shows the projector bowls are defective and it is going to cost me nearly $1k to replace both headlight assemblies.

My wife's 2015 altima 2.5 sl has a tremendous water leak on the drivers side filling the cabin with inches of water. this vehicle has been garage kept for the 5yrs, but with the purchase of my new car we know keep the altima in the driveway. after a recent rain i noticed a very strong musty, moldy odor and the sound of water as i backed out of the driveway, as i reached level ground my feet where soaked with water. i have had the drain tubes cleaned and cleared as this was mention to me at the dealership as a common problem. this did not fix the water leak and nissan requires $475 to check the problem further. i did a search online and noticed this is a common problem with nissan vehicles, as this water leak seem to come from faulty structural welding it’s a safety hazard to the electrical system and safety of the vehicle as a whole, we now experience slight electrical glitches with our altima which again i feel is a safety hazard.

The headlights are very dim. very poor visibility causing to not be able to see when driving at night.

My 2015 nissan altima began stalling when i engaged the accelerator pedal. it stalled and eventually sounded as if it were struggling to shift gears began moving forward. while driving 55 mph, i was forced to abruptly engage the brake pedal to avoid crashing into another vehicle; however, when i applied the accelerator pedal the vehicle strained to move forward and accelerate but within a few minutes i was able to drive the normal speed. the vehicle does hesitate every time i drive it.

Arizona emissions testing provided me a recall on secondary hood latch. on 8/31/20 i called thoroughbred nissan to correct and the service advisor said parts will not be ready, if ready by next year.

Low beam headlights are dangerously too dim, posing a very serious safety risk. have to drive with high beams on to safely see the road, and for others to see us.*dt consumer stated headlight assemblies was replaced.*jb

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that the air bag warning light appeared on the instrument panel. the contact initially took the vehicle to coggin nissan at the avenues in jacksonville (10859 philips hwy, jacksonville, fl 32256) where he was informed that the air bags were defective and were inoperable. the contact was informed that the air bag sensor needed to be replaced however, they could not guarantee that the repair would fix the defect. the manufacturer had also been notified of the failure where they informed him that they may cover 60% of the cost of the repair. the manufacturer then referred him to nissan of orange park (7447 blanding blvd, jacksonville, fl 32244) where he made an appointment to have the vehicle repaired. the vehicle had yet to be repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 29,000.

On 8/8/2020 i was going to my niece's birthday party. while the car was in motion on the beltway, my hood popped up 5 times. i had to continuously pull over on the shoulder of the beltway (which is very dangerous) to keep re-closing the hood. i was very scared and concerned the hood would fly up while i was driving which would cause me not to be able to see the road at all. this was not the first time that this has happened. it's been happening on and off for at least 2 weeks. on 8/10/2020 i took my vehicle to the dealership for regular maintenance and to my surprise nissan doesn't have a fix to this problem. i now have to be without my vehicle for how ever long until nissan can come up with a temporary fix and was not offered a loaner vehicle. i am highly disappointed with nissan and i have been a customer for years.

Initially i thought my eyese were going bad, but after researching, there is recurring incidence of of consumers reporting dim headlights. its to the point that i try not to drive at night, and if i do, i have to use my high beams which poses a hazard to other drivers. nisssan is aware of the problem, however is charging over $1000 to replace the headlamp assembly because simply replacing the bulb is not the solution. http://www.nissanproblems.com/altima-projector-headlights/#:~:text=the%20low%2dbeam%20headlights%20in,creating%20a%20less%20effective%20headlamp.

My son was driving my wife's 2015 nissan altima down the driveway(approximately 20 mph) when the rear left suspension broke. he continued to drive it slowly for another mile along the side of the road having, difficulty steering, and hoping to make it to the nearby mechanic. he stopped after a mile and called me. i was able to see the driver side rear suspension arm was broke and the tire was angled.(the passenger side was severly corroded also) the vehicle was towed to the mechanic and he filed warrantee information. the warrantee was denied because it was a corrosion issue. i am grateful this did not happen on the highway!!! if it is hard to steer a vehicle at 20 mph, what would happen at 75 mph. how is this not a safety problem? a main suspension arm rusting out in less than 5 years, and known common problem in northern climates??

I have been receiving recalls for my car regarding the transmission the extended the warranty, the primary hood latch disengaged which could obscure the drivers vision increasing the risk of a crash.

Received recall notice 20v-315, stating the secondary hood latch may not function properly. letter indicates a remedy expected in the mid-2021 timeframe. this is unexceptable as this is not a new issue and has been a known issue since at least 2016.

While driving on a city street the hood of the car flew open damaging both fenders. hood was closed but the latch did not secure causing it to fly open causing damage to the body of the vehicle.

The supplemental air bag warning light came on multiple times and i have taken it to three nissan dealerships and they have not been able to fix the issue. the car has never been in an accident neither the airbags have ever deployed. every time i go to a nissan dealership they claim a connector was loose or that the circuit was open. every time i take the car out of the dealership the light is off, but after a day or so the light comes on again. it seems to me that is unacceptable that such a critical system as the airbag is, would not work properly, and that nissan would not know how to fix it. they keep trying to change different parts on the airbag system to try to get it fixed, but it seems to me that they don't know what to do and are just trying to see what fixes the issue. it also seems that nissan didn't do a good job with the airbag system since there's already been recalls on something similar for this car.

The headlight component is of very poor quality. it doesn't matter what kind of bulbs are placed in the headlights, the light does not project onto the road enough to see well at night. the headlights don't project far enough out and you are only able to see the road that is barely in front of you, not even to the sides. i have tried upgrading the bulbs multiple times and there is no difference.

Driving home the other day on the highway my rpm will go high when pressing the gas pedal but the car would not accelerate and when i asked my mechanic what was the problem i was told me he’s sure it’s the transmission because it’s a known issue with the nissan altima

I was driving home from the gym when my car had a funky smell, so i stopped at a friends house, i opened the hood and it turned out it was something with my tires, but the smell went away, as soon as i got back into my vehicle a d i drove maybe a quarter mile away i was making a left hand turn when my hood suddenly popped open, even though i made sure it was closed, that has never happened to me and ever since then i been afraid of opening the hood to even check on anything.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that while driving 35 mph, the air bag warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken on several occasions to dick smith nissan of columbia located at 9940 two notch rd, columbia, sc 29223, (803) 256-6600, to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the front driver’s side air bag module needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was informed of the failure. the failure mileage was 58,000.

The hood opened while driving. the hood struck and broke the windshield, damaged both fenders at the top and obscured the drivers path.

I have two ongoing issues that seems to be a very common issue with nissan altima. 1st issue is periodically i have no acceleration on gas pedal. this is very sporadic and only seems to happen when the vehicle is warmed up. almost had crash on a couple of occasions while going thru intersection. second problem is periodically the cruise control will not engage. these problems are getting worse. car only has 80k miles on it. 1st appeared around 50k miles on it.

I am also having an issue with the low beam headlights being dangerously ineffective for night driving or inclement weather. it seems that their are more than an adequate amount of complaints filed to warrant some action. my daughter and grand children ride in this vehicle and there better not anything happen to them because of this. nissan nor nhtsa have enough money to settle that lawsuit. lights declined gradually. from online research i see that the issue is the reflectors inside the headlight assemblies. i have also changed to "brighter" bulbs, no help. i've researched aftermarket headlight assemblies and they also seem inferior.

I have a 2015 nissan altima n i bought the car with approximately 69k miles and it barely has 101k miles n my transmission is acting up but since it?s past 89k they said the recall in no good. *tr

Low beams are hard to see at night. have replaced multiple times and still hard to see at night which is dangerous. i don't feel comfortable driving at night or morning due to poor visibility. *tr

I was driving on a highway at the speed of 50 mph and my hood flew open. i had to slam on my brakes in the middle of the highway and try and pullover with no view out my front windshield. there is damage to my hood and surrounding area due to this mishap. i am afraid to ever open my hood in case it does not shut properly again. i had just bought this car in november of 2019. i had my son in the car with me at the time. *tr

Car will frequently delay moving forward from a stop when pressing the gas. it take about 5 seconds for it to respond. also the car does not automatically shift when accelerating. i have to take my foot off the gas for the car to shift to stop the rpms from revving too high. this will occurs when trying to gain speed from a stop. these are both safety issues because my cars reactionary time is delayed or impaired. *tr

I contacted the clay cooley dealership in dallas found at 39690 lyndon b johnson fwy south, dallas, tx 75237 on may 1st, 20202 via chat for an airbag service recall. after over a month contacting the dealership, i have not received one phone call or email from clay cooley nissan. during this time, i spoke with four (4) different representatives over the chat about the need to schedule an airbag service recall. after the second representative in a period of two weeks, all representatives apologized for no one contacting me about the issue and assured a specialist would contacted me soon. today is 5/31 and i’m still waiting on the phone call or email. i'm attaching the copy of all chat with the representatives.

Driving at 45 mph and the trans went out. only 81k miles on the car

When coming to a stop the car will shake a little bit and then when i go to accelerate through a light the transmission will slip and the car will just sit there for a few seconds and then the transmission will kick in and there will be a jerk and off i go. this happens way too often. this happens alot. your entries only have place for 1 date. bedn happening on and off for over a year. *tr

Hit back of car at red light. airbag never deployed. *tr

My backup camera sometimes goes black when in reverse. *tr

Having intermittent issue with accelerator not funcitioning. from time to time you can step on gas and it will not respond. other issue is the cruise control will not funcition intermittently.

Bought used 2015 altima sv 13 days ago. brand new tires were put on before i took delivery. three days ago, it started feeling like i have a flat tire, dragging the rubber, pulling, and swaying from rear when i park. mpg is terrible, turns are wider, vibrates in steering wheel which worsens at higher speeds. checked tires, saw 9 .25 weights on pass front wheel, 2 .25 weights on pass rear wheel, driver front wheel has glue without weights, driver rear wheel, same thing. pass rear tire has 1/2 inch slope inside on top of tread, like it’s separating. feels like loose suspension, wobbly and out of socket. tire guy says bad tire. dealership says i gotta pay for alignment. i just bought the thing less than two weeks ago, with every penny to my name. dealership sent me away, until i have money in my acct to align it. i’m a delivery driver and need to be safe, especially with covid19, i’m an essential driver, making deliveries of food and necessities to stay at home ordered civilians, to stop the spread of coronavirus in dfw, texas, ordered by judge abbot, to provide for our community. i work for several companies, providing hot meals, groceries, medicines, personal care, and cleaning supplies to college students, retirement homes residents, and families, who might not have access to these key survival necessities without the work we do.

Will not accelerate from the start. has a few second delay before acceleration occurs. this occurs when the car is stationary and need to start accelerating at a red light or stop sign. sometimes i have to put the car in park, shut it off and restart it while at a red light.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that the dimmer switch shifted to the off position while attempting to dim the headlights. the contact stated that the vehicle was driven with no headlights on several occasions. the vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. a dealer was not contacted or notified of the failure. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 95,000.

The reflection assembly in both front headlights has been coming apart resulting in a gradual loss of brightness. it is very hard to see when driving at night.

Head light has gone dim. i have replace it 4 times. it only last 2 -3 months. it gets so dim i have to use my bright lights. this us getting very dangerous for me to drive.

Driving on street and hood flew up blocking all visability. luckily no traffic was nearby and i was able to pull on shoulder of road. i was able to put hood down and secured it with duct tape. the top of the panels on both sides are now bent from the hood coming all the way up and they are chipping paint as well.

I am not able to drive my vehicle at night the regular headlights work as in they appear to come on but at night they are not visible to me driving i have to drive with my brights on. i teied to drive at night and almost wrecked due to oncoming traffic not allowinng me to see thhe very low beam my headlight puts off

The vehicle was parked. it rained and the water flooded in through some drain. now the vehicle had 2 inches of water on the passenger side, front and back. i called nissan and they are not accepting responsibility. the vehicle is developing mold and electrical issues. it is not safe to sit on the passenger side and is a major health and safety issue. this is manufacturing issue but the dealership is attempting to make me pay for repairs since the car is out of warranty.

The interior lights don’t work i have a push start and i have to use my key to unlock/lock the doors. the beeper doesn’t work and the battery has been replaced several times. my car also drives as if it’s in neutral and won’t pick up speed. i have to turn the car off and start it back up for it to stop but it will do it constantly. i have took it to the dealership numerous of times and they always tell me they can’t find an issue. this has been going on for a year now.

Transmission stutters while driving. this happens on highways and regular street driving. doesn't matter what speed.

Very dim headlights. can not see in front of you while driving. have to drive with bright lights on to see at night. the bright lights look like regular headlights when turned on, not very bright to be bright lights. it’s a safety concern and very dangerous to drive at night. i changed out the bulbs twice to halogen and led and neither fixed the problem.

The head lights are dim and do not project out or to the side took to dealer three times and nothing keep saying it checks out so i took a video while on the hwy to show them and they say nothing they can do so the safety of my family means nothing to nissan i have a sentra we see fine out of

Low beams are dangerously low and have almost caused me to have accidents. night driving, especially in wet conditions is awful! very scary and dangerous!

Car completely powered off while traveling traveling at 10mph. the engine and battery symbol appeared, car was able to come to a rolling stop. placed in park and was able to restart with no issues. ten minutes later, car is traveling 60mph and car powered off, console turned black, car powered on, powered off and then powered on while maintaining same speed. third time occurred 5min later as i was trying to safely pull over. was traveling under 20mph and car powered off , locking breaks and coming to a complete stop while locking steering wheel.

I never received my recall so i can get my car fixed. while driving with a passenger in the front seat my air bag light says off not recognizing the passenger which can result in injury. also the hood latch has a recall that needs fixing.

Tl* the contact called on behalf of a nephew who owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated while his nephew was driving at approximately 60 mph, his visibility was decreased due to insufficient illuminated from the headlamps on the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to (royal nissan located at 9325 airline hwy, baton rouge, la 70815) to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the reflector in the headlamp housing was defective. the contact was informed that the headlamps needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the defect but provided no assistance. the approximate failure mileage was 58,000.

I have noticed that when pressing down on the the acceleration pedal there is sometimes an extended delay and the car does not move. it does not happen always, but i have read that alot people are having the same issues, and no one seems to know the cause. personally, after putting the car in park, turning off and turning on the car seems to allow it to accelerate again. my specific experience with this happened twice in a two week span. i was stopped at a light with the brake pedal pressed down on a regular two way roadway. as the light turned green, i attempted to accelerate by pressing the gas pedal but the car would not move, and the rpms would just go up. this same experience happened another time as well. please look into it as a possible recall for some programming on this cvt transmission, as this could be a very potentially bad risk, especially driving on the highway where losing the ability to accelerate can result in major accidents/deaths.

It's very difficult to see with only the low beam headlights on. headlights are so dim that i can not see more than a foot in front of me especially if there are no street lights. it's pretty much like driving with no headlights on. even people that have ridden in my car can tell the headlights are nonexistent. i suffered some front end damage to my car after hitting a garbage can that i did not see when i was driving home at night. this is truly a very dangerous situation. i have tried to get a bright built (60% more vision); however, it does not help.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that the light projected from the headlamps were extremely dim and insufficient for safe vehicle operation. the vehicle was taken to ricart nissan dealer, (4255 s hamilton rd, # 190, groveport, oh 43125, (614) 836-6506) where the contact was informed that the vehicle was not part of a recall. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. no additional assistance was provided. the failure mileage was approximately 95,400.

The headlights on my 2015 nissan altima have continued to get dim. i can barely see at night, while parked or driving. it looks like my lights are not on at all from the driver's seat. my brights work fine. i changed both bulbs to led and there is no change. this is extremely dangerous. i am going to buy new headlight assemblies for both the driver and passenger side.

Low beam headlights are too dim. i can't see well at night as a result. dealer told me the bulbs are fine and that the problem resides with the headlight assembly. film has developed on the lense/projector. nissan wants to charge me $1,300 to fix this which is unacceptable. my car is well kept (garaged)...

Whining loud sound coming from the transmission compartment when idle and louder when driving.

My headlight dim not bright never was perfect even beginning time by time getting worse may getting more worse last years . i replaced light bulb but didn't changed same dim l afraid to drive evening not safe to drive if rainy day i don't drive at all because u cant see nothink these head light that bad . .l bought my car beginning to 2016 only 4 years old car.

I have a 2015 nissan altima s and the airbag light has been on for about 6 months. i took it to the dealership and the first time they said it was the module and fix for $1000 - second time they said it was the seat. - i didn't even get a quote for that. i contacted nissan and they said since my car is not on recall for the airbags i would have to pay for it myself. if i remember correctly, i believe i contacted them twice and got the same response. it passes inspection so i will just live (or die) with the light on. i just hope the airbags deploy if i have an accident.

When your turn signal lights are brighter than your low beam headlights you know you have a nissan altima. low beam headlights are extremely dim. have replaced bulbs with maximum brightness twice. poly-carbonate housing is still relatively clear, no change in condition. driving at night is harrowing. on highway, when cars are behind, their headlights create a shadow that the altima beams cannot overcome. on city streets or county roads if there are no street lights the low beams project about 20 feet. high beams ok until encounter on-coming traffic and must switch to low beams. at that point you are totally in the black due to the altima weak beams and the on-coming headlights. the best you can do is hope that a white line is painted on the edge of the roadway and try to stay in the lane. fog conditions at night are horrible with weak low beam lights. visibility is about 3 feet. turning high beams on makes it equally bad. i can try to take some comparison pictures if nhtsa thinks it will help clarify this well documented issue with the nissan altima. research indicates that reflector used in lighting housing goes bad and very little light is actually projected, no matter what bulb is installed. my vehicle is almost unusable at night and definitely in rain or fog. absolutely will not let my teen drive the altima at night. this is a dangerous safety issue that needs usg support. nissan refuses to take any responsibility - refuting claims by owners and stating over $1000 to fix the issue. nissan will not recall without usg intervention and we need nhtsa's help!

I was driving on the freeway and all of a sudden my hood flew up onto my windshield. it was very frightening... i don’t understand how this can happen when the hood is latched shut.

After about 20 minutes or so of the car running it starts to do this thing where is does not accelerate for a couple seconds while pressing the gas pedal. it then starts to accelerate with a delay. when in stop and go traffic it is extremely scary.

I have spent over 500 on lights bulbs and lighting on this altima 2015 …..the headlights or the bulbs are trash there r very very very dim few months after purchase,i was told to change,replace,restoration its like im getting the run around and not fix the problem and its ridiculous to produce poor lighting on a car and something needs to be done immediately now!! i drive in the day now when i have to drive at night cause no lights have to use bright lights to see whom ever it may concern this need to be recall noooowww before somebodies die because of a simple fix that nissan seems like they don't want to address until someone dies in a crash …..now!!!!!

The headlights on this vehicle have been replaced twice. i have had the nissan dealer check these headlights and they say there is nothing wrong with them. the headlights are a severe safety hazard for night driving. i have to use my brights to be able to see at night. my granddaughter borrowed my car and she thought the headlights were off. these headlights need a safety recall before someone gets killed.

Low beam lights are extremely faint when driving at night or bad weather it’s extremely difficult to see everyone always asks if i have my lights on. i don’t even drive at night or bad weather anymore due to the lack of lighting being projected from my 2015 nissan altima it’s too unsafe for myself and others in my car and i have 20/20 vision so it’s not my eyes!

The headlights of my nissan altima 2015 is really week and is becoming weaker day by day to the point it's hazardous to drive at night especially in rain, snow or fog. i have noticed that there is accummulation of water vapor inside the headlight assembly. they don't go away.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the low beam head lights failed to illuminate adequately. the head light bulbs were replaced but the failure recurred. the cause of the failure was not determined. the local dealer mcguire nissan located at 716 west genesee st, syracuse ny 13204, (315) 802-4432 was contacted and notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 68,000.

Driver and passenger head lights dim, not projecting enough light to provide clear path of visibility while driving at night. both inner bulbs have hazed over to a cloudy white, no longer clear, and not allowing light through. brought vehicle to my local nissan dealer, was told both headlights needed to be replaced, and the $1100.00 repair would not be covered by extended warranty.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that, over time, the front headlamps dimmed significantly, which affected his visibility while driving at night. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the bulbs were replaced; however, the failure continued. the vehicle was not repaired. an attempt was made to contact the manufacturer, but was unsuccessful. the dealer was not contacted. the approximate failure mileage was 75,000. the vin was unknown.

Headlights are very dim. bulbs were changed and don't help. after reading online this is a common issue. the entire assembly needs to be replaced for both headlights. we can only drive at night with the high beams on! this is very dangerous. this occurs all the time and has gotten progressively worse.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that while driving at undisclosed speeds and attempting to turn right or left, there was an abnormal noise at the front of the vehicle. the contact stated on one occasion while turning into the driveway of the residence, the control arm detached from the suspension. the contact stated that failure was due to corrosion of the sub frame. the vehicle was towed to mike erdman nissan located at 4560 highway 520, cocoa fl 32926, (321)453-2050, to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the front and rear sub frame and control arms needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure, case number: 38348110. the failure mileage was 64,387.

Low beam headlights are very dim. (high beam is fine.) low beams are so dim you have to also use the fog/driving lights to see at night, my car has them, some models don,t. changing the bulbs did not help at all, outside lens is clear. using high beams at night irritates and is dangerous to on coming drivers. i don't like driving like that at all. low beams should be bright enough to be see, they are not.

My dim headlights are extremely low. driving at night is a safety hazard due to the dim headlights. i have not reported this to my dealership after viewing other complaints with the same safety issue and the feedback from dealerships less than helpful. i know that headlights (bulbs) should be replaced from time to time. however, after replacing bulbs the problem still exists. the performance of the headlights, especially at night, is below industry standards. as of now this problem has been reported to nhtsa as a major safety concern. i have not discovered any real information from nhtsa, pro or con, on this issue which is concerning to me. i would hope that due diligence and follow up to consumers from nhtsa, about this complaint, is forthcoming or at the least directives are given as to resolutions to this safety issue. also, purchasing brighter bulbs don't seem to fix the problem. i have tried that. your feedback would be greatly appreciated concerning this headlight safety issue on my 2015 nissan altima.

Lens in the headlight assembly has burnt off and the car is unsafe to drive at night. numerous issues with this problem.

Lens in the headlight housing is burnt off to the point it is unsafe to drive at night. big safety issue. very dangerous.

My headlights are getting dimmer and dimmer. i replaced the bulbs twice. but they are still dimming. now having to use high beams all the time.

When i 1st bought the car i upgraded the headlights to led low beams. this produced a nice light and the lighting increased significantly with a very sharp cutoff line. this was about 18 months ago. now the low beams barely produce a blob of lighr and there is no cutoff line for the lights visible. my fog lights actually light up the road better than the low beams. this is very dangerous driving at night with very visible light actually hitting the road. i will need to replace these headlights very soon as i do allot of nighttime driving going to and from work in the winter months. if the roads are wet or damp the lighting does not even light up the lane marker lines this makes it very hard to drive esspecially on curvy roads.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that the hood would not open due to a defective latch. the contact stated that the it system error warning indicator was illuminated. the contact associated the failure with nhtsa campaign number: 16v029000 (latches/locks/linkages). the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the dealer and manufacturer were not notified. the failure mileage was unknown.

When i had brought my car less than one month later the headlights was not working only the high beam works.

My passenger side rear door does not lock. i’m able to open the door when the car is parked and locked. the initial issue happened while the car was parked and locked and alarm was engaged. i was able to open the door and the alarm went off. it also opens when can is on and locked.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that both headlights were dim, which made it difficult to see the road while driving. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the contact replaced the front driver's side bulb, but the failure continued. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. the failure mileage was unknown.

P17f1 cvt judder code...there are recalls on v6 nissan altimas from 2015, but it does not apply to the 4 cylinder models, yet the cars are having the same issues. most likely the transmission will need replaced. very costly for a 4 year old vehicle ($3500 from non-dealer, $4000 - $5000 dealer estimate). dealer charges $140 just to diagnose the issue. the vehicle hesitates when accelerating to get on the highway. transmission company i spoke with said this was the 4th altima he had seen this week with the same issue....typically happens between 100,000 - 120,000 miles. my vehicle has 111,000 miles.

Showing code p0841

The lights are becoming dimmer and dimmer, changing the bulbs does not help. the issue seems to be in the reflector. the whole lighting unit needs to be replaced and nissan won't replace it even though it is a defect in the lights. i do not feel safe driving at night. i have to use my high beams to even see.

Headlights are very dim, even after replacing with aftermarket lights, at night, making it very dangerous to drive

I was driving my daughter home from pre-k and had been in the car for 10 miles without a problem. i was stopped at a stop light at a very busy four -way intersection. the light turned green and the car would not move. i pushed the accelerator and the car didn't move. i was shocked. it was perfectly fine one minute and did not move the next minute. the car acted as if it were in neutral and it wouldn't go. after pressing a few times, the car started to go very slowly. i took some back roads stopping at different parking lots hoping to make it home. i had my car towed to the mechanic. the mechanic said that at 59,700 miles, my 2015 nissan altima's cvt transmission is non-functional & the diagnostic code is starting to show upl. i owe money on the loan and now i have to pay thousands of dollars to replace the transmission or start from scratch. no recalls. no help. what a disappointment.

My passenger air bag light keeps coming on. had harry green in clarksburg wv look at it 1125/2019. found nothing. said they hooked it up to a computer and no errors were reported. does it in motion. the of road doesn't seem to trigger it

The power steering seems like it is obviously mildly stiff while driving.

While driving on a city street and on a highway it appears that my transmission is jerking and slipping.

Have owned car for 2.5 years. initially headlights appeared fine. the headlights brightness of the headlights has degraded so much that i believe night driving puts the driver at great risk. visibility with low beams seem more like parking lights. no useful lighting for more than a few feet. the high beam now serve as my low beam and they appear to be declining. this is extremely unsafe and unsettling! i asked the dealership initially thinking it was the bulb. they said it wasn’t the bulb, but the reflectors. they acknowledge that this has been a reported problem. a recall has not been made! this is clearly an accident waiting to happen. i’m totally fearful if it should rain as it further reduces the limited visibility. amazing that this problem and concern that seems to have been around for at least a few years continues to go unaddressed.

On november 8th my daughter was driving my 2015 nissan altima and the rpm starting going up and as she was pressing the gas the car wouldn't move and the check engine light came on. i took the car to the nissan dealership and they told me the transmission is going bad in my car and that it would cost me $4500.00 to get fixed. after talking to several people i was informed that there is a recall on the 2015 nissan altima with a 4 cylinder engine. if there is a recall then why is my local dealership trying to get me to pay. i wen to the nhtsa.gov website and typed in my vin number and it showed that my vehicle is recalled. do i take my vehicle to another nissan dealership and file a complaint with the bbb on that dealership? i don't have $4500.00 to fix my transmission especially when there is a recall on it.

Headlight low beams are dangerously dim. can barely see the road. when there is a car behind, lights are so dim that a shadow is cast in fromt of the car. attempted new halogen and led bulbs with no success.

When vehicle was purchase from dealer, the headlights worked great. now the headlights are so dim while driving at night it is almost impossible to see the white and yellow lines on the road ahead of you. when contacting the dealership their answer was “we’re aware of the problem” and recommended buying new headlights at 800$ a pop. after further investigation and research i find this is in fact a manufacturing defect and several thousand complaints have been made. when can i expect a recall on this potentially deadly issue? i along with many others have been taken by a car manufacturer that puts profits before safety. without the nhtsa standing up for the public this will continue to become and remain a issue for innocent and needless fatalities.

Lights are very dim on low beam. the headlight assembly has a manufacture defect that makes it dangerous to drive at night. replacement for both headlight assembly's cost around $800. i am scared to drive at night because i can't see.

Low beam lights very dim. cannot see well at night at all, it’s like i have no lights. changing them did not help. i’m only 40 and have no vision problems. the seatbelt light comes on and off while driving and my seatbelt is on. nissian cannot pull a code on why.

My headlights are very dim at night and i have to use my bright lights. it’s been doing this for awhile now. on dark roads, i can’t see anything. auto store says lights don’t need to be replaced, that it’s a factory default.

While driving back from vacation on the highway the icon for supplemental air bag warning light came on and did not go off as expected. the manual says that when this happens i should go to the nearest nissan dealer for assistance. i looked up my car and found that you did a very abbreviated recall for my type car . does that mean you are not repairing 2015 altimas for air bag defects? i can text a picture of the icon that does not go away when the car is started as it should. am i in danger of an air bag malfunction? i can text you the icon that is bright red all the time when the car is started.

Low beam headlights are so dim my teenage daughter with perfect vision can barely see to drive at night on highways and backroads unless she has the high beams on. i’ve learned this is a common problem with this model car. i feel like this is a major safety concern that should be recalled.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. while driving various speeds, the headlights failed to provide adequate lighting. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was 92,000.

My low beam headlights are so dim that i have to run the high beams to see at night, i googled this and there is web page after web pages of forums with altima owners with the same problem, not the bulb, but the reflective coating inside the light assembly and nissan is charging 1000 bucks to change out the assembly. you cant see the road if there is an oncoming vehicle, someone is going to get hurt badly i noticed the lawers in californa and texas getting a lawsuit against nissan for this issue, there should be a recall to fix this. i have had a few recalls for both my altima s, a seat belt and back door, but there will not be a seat belt or door if you run off the road or a head-on collision because you can't see in front of your car. it is impossible to drive a night if it is raining, just don't do it, please help us nissan altima owners

In an accident going 60mph got hit on drivers side and front and airbags did not deploy when they should have. had a mechanic look at it and said the airbags must be hung up because they should have deployed and should deploy anytime you are hit going over 25mph

The driver's side sun visor randomly drops into the down position blocking the driver's visibility. the visor falls without warning and can be startling. it is sometimes difficult to return to the up position. upon inspection it appears that the body of the visor has come apart at the seams inside of the cloth covering. the problem has occurred several times without warning, while in motion during a variety of driving conditions.

My car is under warranty and air bag light keeps showing up. one tech said the module needs to be replaced and another tech said the seat needs to be replaced. no one is helping with fixing this issue.

Low-beam headlights became increasingly dim over several months to the point where there is no forward street illumination. i now must always drive with bright hi-beam lights on. on-coming drivers often flash for me to dim/lower the brights causing a safety hazard for both me and the approaching driver. dealer technician confirms that bulbs are fully functional with normal dim brightness and do not need replacing. the only remedy suggested is for both left and right headlamp assemblies be replaced costing over $1000 each. this on a four year old car suggests to me that this is a manufacturer's responsibility. a 30 second on-line search instantly shows that other 2013-2015 nissan altima owners have the same problem with their cars.

The ac compressor is failing and causing the 2015 nissan altima air conditioner to not cool properly.

When an adult is sitting in the passenger seat the airbag is turned off. when we stop the car the passenger gets out and then back in the airbag is turned on but then turns it self off again.

Intermittent problem the dealer could not duplicate since 25k miles. the car revs and loses speed. sometimes i press the gas pedal and it will not go for 2-5 secomds. recently going up a hill the car rolled backwards while i was pressing the gas pedal. turning the car off can "cure" the symptom until it randomly has the same problem. it is difficult driving in traffic, or deciding to make left turns because i can not depend on acceleration

Takata recall the vehicle was stationary in a parking lot. someone backed into my front bumper & drove away. my insurance company has the pictures state farm. i had the bumper repaired, the collision company told me to take my car to a nissan dealer to see why the airbag light was still on. serra nissan told me i need a new airbag

While waiting to turn left at an intersection for a break in oncoming traffic, the car will sometimes pause for 2-3 seconds when the accelerator is pressed, as if it were in neutral. this leaves me vulnerable to an accident when it finally kicks in and starts moving. when having to judge and make crucial decisions while driving is complicated by a car that doesn't move when it's supposed to i truly feel it's literally 'an accident waiting to happen.' i also don't know when it will happen because it's not every time, so i have no way to incorporate that into my decision making while driving. neither i want to be in an accident, nor do i want to put someone else at risk.

Air bag light comes on and off randomly. hood release latch does not work, it pulls but the hood does not pop.

I believe my airbags may have spontaneously deployed while driving on a straight at around 45 - 50 mph, shocking and blinding me, causing me to veer off the side of the road and crashing into a ditch, totaling my car. all i remember was one second, i was driving and the next, i couldn't see anything and was braking & screaming, on a wild, bumpy ride, not knowing where to steer because i couldn't see past the airbags and dust/chemicals/smoke.

Every once in a while no matter how far put my foot down on the pedal it will not accelerate. this is extreamly dangerous as it has happened when crossing intersection in very busy traffic situations. i would say i probably would have been hit at least 5 times in this situation, but the drivers coming the other way saw i was having. a problem and slowed down so they would not hit me.

Air bags: occupant classification system - ocs (front passenger) - was told my car is not included in this recall based on vin, however, passenger airbag light goes off and on even with someone in passenger seat, dash light is also on. this happens consistently, whether driving or parked.

Stock headlights are very dim! polarized lens not very effective

Around 92,000 pressed on gas and car would not move, had to press pedal all the way to floor until it caught then it drove. drove home, shut off, restarted in the morning with no issues. drove a few more days and it happened again; took to certified nissan dealership and was told it was my transmission checked out great and it was my "brake sensor" which was replaced, drove another two weeks and it happened again. took back in and was told i needed a transmission replacement; notes read transmission fluid smelled "burnt" and there were tiny metal particles throughout.

My nissan altima 2015 will not accelerate on a highway. it only has 30k on it. i took it to nissan 2 times for this problem and they told me that nothing was wrong. july 21, 2019, it was towed again while i was on the long trip. overall, it happened 10 times. car falls on its face. you are not able to accelerate. i hads to tow it 2 times already. the other times i had to wait 30 min or so. when on highway you go 65, it drops to 40, then 20; it sputters and then you have to stop. my nissan altima was moving when the acceleration gave up no matter how strong you push the pedal. the engine light comes on too. i was in logandale nevada. turned the car off. then waited. after 15 min, i was able to start the car and drive it barely at 20 min per hour on highway 15 coming from las vegas to moapa paiute travel plaza gas station. this is so dangerous because other card=s do not kjnow that you have acceleration failure and they drive behind you at 60-70 miles per hour and it can be very scary because you have to come to a complete stop as the acceleration does not work and car goers eventually to 0 miles per hour no matter how hard you push the acceleration pedal. car is still under warranty and nissan needs to address the issue.

I have a 2015 nissan altima with only 38,500 miles on it. i bought it at 31,000 miles. me and my girlfriend recently taken a trip to virginia.we were leaving the last day and we came up to the first light away from the place we were staying at. as i came up to the light my car had jerked really hard slowing down and the rpms went way up. i didn’t really think that was weird as it has done that before on multiple times. when the light turned green i pressed the gas and nothing had happened for a solid 10 seconds it would only rev up to 2 and wouldn’t go past 10 miles per hour. as this light was fast and it was turning yellow as soon as we were going through it the people were honking behind me as my car would not accelerate at all. i pulled over and cut my car off and waited about 5 minutes. i started out again and it had a hard time accelerating and i pulled over again. at this point no lights came on or anything. i thought my car just left us stranded in virginia. i turned it back on again and started out and it was driving normal. i find this unsafe because cars at the light could have started to come through my my car is just teetering along through the fast light

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan alitma. while driving various speeds, the vehicle hesitated and failed to accelerate without warning. the contact called all star nissan (27700 juban rd, building 3, denham springs, la 70726, (225) 272-9330) and informed them of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 85,031. *tr

Vehicle back up monitor will go blank when car is in reverse and backing up. this is an intermittent problem at first but is starting to become a more frequent problem.

Low beam headlight very dim, even after replacing bulb. research shows low beam reflector housing is faulty, not reflecting light, creating unsafe night driving condition. further research show only way to remedy is to replace complete headlight housing.

Purchased the car in 2016 with 22,000 miles. at the 2nd oil change, nissan dealership said it needed the cvt reprogrammed. from that point until now, i have complained about juddering, shuddering, delayed acceleration, and just not going when the gas pedal was pressed. the last time it happened before being completely disabled, it left me stranded on an interstate ramp merging into highway traffic, the car just would no go. it acted like it was starting off in 3rd gear, which is very dangerous! when i took it to the local dealership, i was told that if something was wrong with the transmission, the check engine light would come on, but it would cost me $200 for a diagnosis since it was out of warranty. now, my car has 140k miles and is out of warranty, the transmission needs to be replaced and they still won’t do anything about it. i have asked several times about the multiple tsb’s associated with the 2015 nissan altima 4-cylinder cvt, which my car is, and they’ve told me that none of them apply to my car. something needs to be done about this issue affecting millions of customers!

The airbag like have been on for about 3 weeks..the nissan dealer inform me that the airbag component entire system is faulty..my car is a 2015, with only 30k miles on it, never been in an accident, i dont drive it that much, just got it inspected in july, now in september it has a faulty air bag system. this is not normal in a just about brand new car..price to repair is 1600+. when starting the car, the light just dont go off, like it should

The vehicle can be sitting still and when you press the gas pedal, nothing happens. the engine does not even rev up. it is as the engine is not even on. this also happens when vehicle is is motion and you press the gas pedal, nothing happens. this happens when vehicle is still, low speed or high speed. and diagnostics system check does not show the problem and the engine light does not come on or get any kind of reading. it happens frequently. have to extreme caution when getting on the freeway and/or changing lanes in traffic.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that the air conditioner failed to function and hot air blew out of the vents. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. a dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer was notified. the failure mileage was 129,776.

Bought my altima used with 60k miles. at 80k it started exhibiting a delayed acceleration from total stop after some warmup period. with 106k miles, after warmup, it now always has delayed acceleration from any complete stop. the accelerator pedal has no effect until 80% depressed then it starts like its in 3rd gear. scary if turning across traffic. dealer says its a faulty solenoid in the transmission. on line complaints across several models are prevalent.

The car fails to accelerate when i step on the gas pedal. sometimes it will have delayed acceleration or none at all. the engine will rev but no motion. i also took the car for a smog check in attempt to change ownership and it didn’t pass smog a code p0776 came up. took it to an auto repair shop and they stated it was a transmission problem. now i’m stuck with this dangerous death trap. this is very dangerous while turning and while on the freeway. it happens periodically with no warning.

The headlights are dim and there is no way ti fix them. it;s becoming very dangerous to drive at night cause you cannot see nothing ahead of the car

One day my hood latch came open while driving and now it won't even open up at all

My key fob is acting up...incorrect key id,,keeps popping up..i dont understand why this is doing this,,i feel that this is a safety issue because i really am nnot safe when i am stranded because my car will not start

When driving in hot weather or a long distance (60+miles) on streets and/or highway, the vehicle will not accelerate after coming to a complete stop. stopping in bumper to bumper traffic, stop sign, stop light or even after having to do an emergency brake. the vehicle will not accelerate until 5-10 seconds have passed with the acceleration pedal pressed. this issue has caused numerous close rear end accidents just to myself. a normal day of driving turns into a guessing game if i will be rear ended due to this transmission issue. many 2013+ nissan owners have this issue and nissan of america refuses to recall their transmissions. after the vehicle finally starts accelerating, rather hard due to having to hold the acceleration pedal to max for it to move, it loses power when it shifts to the next gear. rpm falls under the optimal rpm for the given speed and feels like you go from 1st gear to 4th gear.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that the air bag warning indicator was illuminated. the vehicle was taken to modern nissan of winston-salem (located at 5795 university pkwy, winston-salem, nc 27105, 877-607-8584) and the air bag system was reprogrammed. the failure recurred and the vehicle was not taken back to the dealer. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 66,767.

Low-beam headlights are dangerously dim. nissan replaced them voluntarily (no charge) april 9, 2018, because of this problem. now the replaced (new) low-beam headlights are again dangerously dim. i very often have to use my high beams to see properly (street signs, curbs, etc.) which is dangerous to oncoming traffic.

This happens when the vehicle is stationary and / or in motion. and no engine or anything con=mes to tell you what is wrong. mechanics can notfix it, because nothing shows on the diagnostic machine. sometime when press the gas pedal, the engine does nothing. as if the engine is not even on. after repeatedly pressing the gas pedal the engine will finally respond as it should. it happens frequently.

My car starts to shudder and sound like it's in neutral. i was turning into a store and it stalled, but it then kicked into drive so i could move out of the way of oncoming traffic. i have had it checked by a reputable transmission person and was told to take it back to nissan because there have been some recalls or extended warranty. i called and long story short, i was told it has no warranty due to being over the mileage and there aren't recalls. i have checked and see some complaints filed back october of 2018. mine is doing the exact same thing. i see it was some of the models; however, if all of these cars are having the same transmission problem, the warranty should be extended so they can be repaired.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. while the contact's wife was driving 45 mph, she was unable to see more than ten feet in front of the vehicle due to poor illumination from both low beam headlights. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the contact called payne's auto mart & leasing (located at 1524 1st ave se, moultrie, ga 31768, (229) 985-0989) and informed them of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 87,000.

I was driving on the highway this morning and stopped at the light to make the left turn (about 5 minutes into my drive). once the light turned green, i stepped on the gas but the car would not move. i had to turn the car off and turn it back on. pushing on the gas, the car would not accelerate to the more than 40 mph. i turned the car around to go home (about 1 mile away) as i didn't feel it was safe to drive and had to stop at a red light to make the right turn. once stopped, the car would not move. it was still on and no warning lights were illuminated on the dashboard. i turned the car off and back on and was able to slowly accelerate, again no more than 40 mph. this was scary and dangerous. this could have caused a serious accident.

Have shuddering of the car when driving up to 40 mph. took to the dealership (where it has always been serviced) and diagnostics determined a "bad" transmission with identified "judder" code. however, the extended warranty issued by nissan to address to this issue does not currently extend to 6 cylinders, of which mine is. i have an issue with this, as my car is experiencing the same issues as stated in bulletin ntb16-085 and ntb15-015g.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Low beam headlights are too dim, i have to use high beam headlights in the dark all the time.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Takata recall, doesn’t accelerate when petal is pressed but instead delays for 3-5 seconds. then it jerks and accelerates quickly

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Low beam headlights are very dim. low beam bulbs were replaced, and lights are still very dim. unable to see the road - especially with oncoming traffic, in the rain, and in areas with some street lighting. must use high beams at all times to be able to see the road at night and in the rain. this is an ongoing problem.

Extremely dim low beam headlights. i can barely see more than a few car lengths ahead of me and it feels very unsafe at night. i need this to be fixed.

The low beam headlights are very dim and the driver is unable to see more than 10-15 feet in front making it nearly impossible to navigate the vehicle at night time. a written complaint was sent directly to nissan with no response for this issue. i spoke with the service department and was told this is the nature of projector lights. the car was purchased new and has been an issue for quite some time. it is time that i speak up because this is a major safety concern and i fear for my family's well being when they drive at night. i noticed there are many complaints on this site as well as the internet for the same issue. the manufacturer should consider a recall/ repair of this issue before someone gets hurt or worse due to lack of adequate lighting at night.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. while driving 35-65 mph, an abnormal noise was heard under the hood. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed to call the manufacturer. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided a case number. the manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not included in manufacturer technical service bulletin: 15-102. the failure mileage was 65,000.

Low beam headlights are extremely dim, like to the point of not being able to see more than one foot in front of the car. i have tried new bulbs and different bulbs, to no avail. they are horrible. this is ongoing for more than a year.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. while driving at night, the headlights did not project or illuminate brightly enough to view the road. the vehicle was taken to carmax (located at 130 mason mcknight jr pkwy, augusta, ga 30907, (706) 650-1248) and the headlight bulbs were replaced. the contact stated that the bulb replacement did not correct the failure. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 35,000.

On 12/30/2018 i had just left the parking lot of the local walmart and was at a complete stop for a stoplight on the corner of county hwy z and state road 13, waiting to turn left. on the green, i turned and drove approximately 500 feet and my hood flew open to the point of slamming into the roof of the car damaging the vehicle. i pulled over and closed the hood and slowly drove home. when home i checked to see if possible recall on hood. there have been some, i contacted the local dealership after the holidays and was told my vin was not part of the recall, therefore they couldn't fix any damages and i was to contact consumer affairs.

Dim headlight problem

Headlights do not project on low beam. it looks like you only have parking lights on it is so dim. it isn't safe to drive after dark.

As i was driving on a back road, the hood flew up and rested on the windshield.

When i step on gas pedal the car has no power, seems like it is stuck in low gear, sometimes when driving on highway and i attempt to accelerate the car stalls. very dangerous, only works correctly after the car is stopped and engine turned off. approx 77,000 miles...

I took my car to be serviced at discount tire shop in hollywood, california. i paid $195.00 to have my brakes replaced, because the brakes were squeaking. i re-quested having my brakes replaced. not once did the tech ask if i wanted my old brakes confiscated. the tech told me that there did not seem to be anything with the brakes. he asked me if i wanted to have the brakes repaired; i told him yes, if it means the squeaking will stop. they repaired the brakes and the squeaking became even worse than before. i demanded my money back from the dealer manager, and he refuses to give me my money back. he drove my car after the repair and my family member and i both heard the car squeaking; however, the manager told us he did not hear any squeaking. to date the brake is still squeak-ing. the manager told me that both he and his children all have altimas, so i assume that he took my brakes to use on one of their cars. he took my brakes and it appears that he did absolutely to my old brakes; because it was on that date squeaking and to date, squeaking even worse than before. i am again requesting that this manager, reimburse me $189.00 for a brake job that was simply no done, or that was incorrectly repaired. (more details will be provided upon request). he stated that ht would reimburse me my $189.00; yet to date, he has not done so. it should be noted: i purchased this car in 2017; my dealer provided me with no type of safety recalls whatsoever, i just learned today that there were recalls. thank you.

The headlights are dimmed over the time since i bought car, driving in night very unsafe.

The headlights on low beam are becoming less effective at lighting up the road at night. this began in 2017, but has gotten worse. the high beams work just fine, but the low beams are terribly dim on roads that have no street lights. on roads with street lights, i feel like i'm driving with the lights turned off. the car is becoming dangerous to drive at night.

Lights just got dim and kept getting dim. rook it to a repair shop and they said it was a shortage somewhere.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. while driving at unknown speeds, the headlights failed to produce adequate lighting. the contact had to use the high beam headlights to see the road. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to windsor nissan (590 us-130, east windsor, nj 08520, (609) 448-1411) where it was determined that the vehicle was operating as designed. the manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 33864131 and referred the contact to nhtsa. the failure mileage was 85,000.

Low beam lights are so dim that it is dangerous at night *dsy

While driving at approximately 50 mph on a state highway, when i encounter a hill or attempt to accelerate to maintain speed the vehicle does not respond but instead hesitates and starts to slow. only with a second or third application of pressure to the gas pedal does the vehicle start to accelerate. this has occurred several times within the last month. also, while attempting to enter the interstate from a shopping center that i frequent i have to cross two lanes of high speed traffic to enter the third lane highway entrance. from a standing full stop i apply pressure to the gas pedal, the vehicle advances two or three feet and then comes to a complete stop. additional pressure to the gas pedal produces no forward movement. the engine is running, the gearshift lever is in drive but the car does not move. approaching high speed traffic is now swerving to avoid my stopped vehicle. this life threatening situation has occurred twice in the last month. on both occasions i have brought the vehicle to a nissan dealership for resolution of this problem. on the last occasion the vehicle was left for four days and i gave permission to the technician to operate the car at will to determine the problem. no problem could be detected. the vehicle has 34,000 on it. i believe operating this car in the present condition puts me at great risk. it is apparent to me that the transmission is defective and should be replaced or repaired while it still under warrenty.

The headlights are too dim (low beams). you can't not see 3 feet up front and there is no solution. night driving is a serius safety issue and as the car gets older the problem increases.

Nissan north america, inc. (nissan) is recalling certain model year 2015 altima and 2016 maxima vehicles manufactured october 6, 2015, to october 7, 2015. the affected vehicles have front brake calipers whose mounting bolts may not be properly tightened. i crash my car on aug/16 and dec/17. both for the same reason. i lease this car on march/2016. i’m not sure that the dealer fix the problem before leased.

Driving at night is an accident waiting to happen. the headlights are on yet you can barely see ahead of you. at times you are forced to turn on the high beams which endangers other drivers. i had even received a citation for flashing my lights because i was unable to clearly see the street signs. this situation is particularly dangerous when turning. the problem is you cannot see the road clearly and ends up sometimes in the wrong lane. i was making a left one night and ended up too far down the road that i was on. as i was trying to turn, other cars were turning on my right on a one lane road. i just could not see well enough to follow the curve. when riding with other passengers at night, they never fail to alert me to the fact that my headlights are off. i usually have a hard time convincing them that they are wrong.

I bought my 2015 nissan altima new on october 1, 2014. because i usually drive in urban areas with good street lighting, i did not notice my weak low beam headlights until july 2, 2017. i went to one dealership which told me my lights were ok. i subsequently got “warnings” from 2 police officers who told me my lights were too dim. i then took the car to another nissan dealership where no problem was found. i took it back to the first dealership which again found no problem. i then got pulled over a third time. took my car to an independent mechanic who changed the headlights (charged me about $150) which did not help. i then called and wrote to nissan: phone customer service refused to talk to me and my letter to a company officer went unanswered. i then went to another mechanic specializing in headlights, showed them my original and the replacement headlights (both sets were good), so he suggested that i get hid headlights. those cost about $250, and did not help. when i took my car to a nissan dealership in alexandria, va, that dealership diagnosed moisture in my headlights and said that since i’d always gotten maintenance and repairs at a dealership, they would have gotten nissan to split the cost of repairs. but since i’d hadhid headlights installed, i’d have to pay the entire $1,600 cost of repairs myself. i’ve had to drive at night with my high beams on. my headlights are not strong enough to reach the bumper of the car in front of mine while stopped at a traffic light. early next month, i’m going to pay another $500 for a new headlight assembly + installation of fog lights, because the mechanic at the specialized shop (who has a 2014 nissan altima with the same problem) says that this is a faulty design. all in all, i’ll have spent almost $1,000 on a problem nissan knows about and won’t address. i have videos that clearly show this problem.

2015 altima has incurred two separate water leak issues within two months. first, diagnosed as clogged ac drain. this required complete replacement of carpet. this was repaired under warranty. second, diagnosed as faulty firewall grommet on steering assembly. this allowed excessive amounts of rainwater to flood driver side carpet and under dash electrical while driving. nissan claims is not a warranty-able failure due to "nature" being source of water which flooded through firewall. dealer states this has been a common occurrence on 2013-2017 altimas nissan also does not see how failure of firewall grommet (s) could lead to vehicles sinking faster in the event of a water crash.

Dim headlights, florida highway patrol gave me a warning ticket he was concerned with my safety as the lights are so dim. john lee nissan wants $4000 to fix them. i need help. i commute 112 miles to work and i am in fear for my safety and others.

My low beam headlights are very dim making it very hard to drive at night and in dark situations. it is the only vehicle i have and i am a nurse that has to take call and drive at night. my son and i drove at night for a ballgame and i could barely see. i went to auto zone and o’reilly’s and both places told me replacing bulbs wouldn’t help. this is very dangerous.

I was told that my lights seemed very dimmed. being that i live in the city full lights so it's hard to tell but i've noticed the last couple of times i've gone out of town and had to take darker roads, the lighting on the vehicle is terrible. you can barely see 5ft in front of you and that's very dangerous while driving....someone needs to look into this and correct the problem.

Ocs seat system same problem over and over passenger seat occupied indicator light still on

The front passenger side airbag indicator light came on indicating that the front passenger airbag was off. my wife was sitting in the front passenger side seat at the time. she had her seat belt on. i was driving down the road at 70 mph on a highway at the time. i have this on video that shows that this lasted for approximately 12 minutes before the light went off and the airbag system indicated that the airbag would deploy in the event of an emergency. this is 12 minutes where my wife was not protected by an airbag system. the video that i have is from and iphone and is not in a supported file format for uploading. i would be happy to send it to you another way. i contacted the nhtsa about 8 months ago about this issue and have not heard anything. i contacted nisan at the same time and they indicated that without any error codes, there is no proof that this is an issue or is really happening. i have documented video evidence that this in fact did occur. this is a safety issue in which no one seams to care about. you would think that with all of the recent troubles with airbags, someone would take some interest in looking into the root cause of the issue. i am asking the nhtsa to please assist me in getting this safety issue resolved. i contacted nisan again and they have not returned my call.

I own 2015 nissan altima, i want nhtsa to be aware of serious problem with cvt transmission issue. i was on 95 south in washington dc when my vehicle hesitated for several seconds as i pushed my gas pedal all the way to the floor my car would slightly move forward. when i was trying to move to the far right shoulder, i was almost hit by mack truck. my car was barely moves. the almost caused serious accident and possible my life. this happened again today 8/23/2018 on my way to work. i was at stop light i push the accelerator and my vehicle barely moved. i was told by the nissan dealer that it cvt transmission. the dealer said they are getting a dozen 2015 nissan a week with this same issue. this is ridiculous my car is only 3 years old. this is too expensive for me to fix.

The car started vibrating as if it’s going to shift down, the engine light cam on. took the car to advance auto , was told that the sensor needed to be repaired laced. took the car to a nissan dealer had the sensor replaced, drove the car for two days. driving to work the next day had the same experience this time the car just stopped. took it back to the nissan dealer was told that the other sensor needed to be replaced. i’m afraid that i might be driving on a highway and may encounter the same problem i hope to god not, but at this point i’m a bit worried. had the car for 4 months now. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. while driving 20 mph, the hood flew up and struck the windshield without warning. the vehicle was taken to causeway nissan (435 nj-72, manahawkin, nj 08050, (609) 597-5052), but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 75,000.

I was driving around a little while and when i came to a stop at a stop light i pushed my gas pedal to accelerate forward and my car did not move, as i pushed my gas pedal all the way to the floor my car would very lightly move. finally after moving barely forward my car would go , i had cars almost hit me and people getting enraged i am not moving, this is an ongoing problem now, it happens often and sometimes causing a very serious and dangerous situation. after doing my research many of owners of this year make and model are having the same issue but yet nothing to come out from nissan for recall. i read if you turn your car off and back on it will reset and then the car goes just fine till the next time and that does work but that is dangerous as well. i bought this car as i thought it would be a safe car for my children and myself. this has been a dangerous issue . when we drive it in the heat it happens worst and then will be on the freeway and it will rev the engine really high and not switch down. please nissan tell me you are going to do something for your loyal customers this is the third nissan i have owned. and i have the airbag issue . it wont pick up my son sitting there and he is 160 lbs

Rollaway accident in parking lot on small incline. $ 4500 in damage. no injuries. thank god . at softball game. exited car and did not hear any warning. walked beside and then behind car and did not notice any movement. about 20 seconds later it crashed into a highboy trailer.

Issues with the hood latch not wanting to properly latch and setting off alarm and signal inside the car dash also this vehicle keeps saying that there is no one in the passenger seat when they're indeed is someone in the passenger seat and the airbag will not deploy if in a car crash i don't know why my car wasn't included in this recall that was for both of these issues but it has both of these issues coming through a carmax dealership

Low beam headlights are extremely dim. even after installing new bulbs and even hid and led, the factory halogen bulbs are extemely dim. they are the same brightness as the orange side marker lights. i can not drive my car at night and its a shame nissan wont recall this being their are thousands and thousands of complaints for this body style 2013-2015. i find it very bad that i have to pay $1,000 for the dealership to take my bumper off to install new headlight assemblies which will do the same thing in 2-3 years.

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.

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.

I was driving on the interstate and the hood latch failed and hood flew up causing extensive damage to the car.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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?

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. while driving 15 mph, the plastic clasp that held the steering wheel became loose. the clasp fractured the floorboard and water leaked into the driver's side of the vehicle due to the rain. the contact's legs and feet became soaked. the contact dried off the inside of the vehicle at a nearby fuel station and drove home. the dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was 55,000.

I just called nissan. on june 8 18 i took my car to chandler nissan for pre purchase inspection. they said it had a recall for the transmission, checked it and said everything looked fine. i received a quote on the extended warranty while there. i later called and emailed to extend my warranty but kept getting the run around. fast forward to this weekend, getting on the freeway no acceleration at all. rpm just through the roof. its done that a few times now, since the day i bought it (after inspection) it would lag to accelerate just not totally like it did now. i'm a girl and thought that was normal it just didn't pick up and go and whined a little. todays miles = 61850. called nissan, they will look into it and get back to me... the car had 57468 miles at the time of inspection and was under warranty. the other issue was about a month ago, before i hit 60k the side airbag alert went off. after restarting the car it disappeared. took it to midway nissan and they said could be a faulty sensor or could be a defect in the airbag but its not covered under warranty. they quoted $1400 to fix that. i forgot to tell the nissan rep that when i called but i will do so when they call me back. hoping they will be helpful. i will update as i get more info.

Started the cruise control when trying to apply the brakes the brakes didn’t work. pump brakes continuously and the car wouldn’t stop.oat control of the car and plunged into a ditch.

After driving in stop and go traffic for about 30 minutes. sometimes the gas pedal doesn’t respond properly it stalls and goes slow building up speed doesn’t respond likes it should. takes a few seconds to reach proper response

I just purchased a 2015 nissan altima 3.5 sl sedan. while taking for a test drive after receiving the vehicle, my 12-year-old rolled down the window part way and her door popped open! i had to pull over to close the door. it happened again yesterday while parked in my driveway. i rolled down the window and the door immediately popped open. i could not close the door until i rolled the window back up. i learned of the recall for the window hitting the door release and reported it to my local nissan service center where i took it as well as to nissan na. i was given a case number and a representative contacted me today to let me know that my vin is not included in the recall and that nissan will not do anything for me, even though this is dangerous! something needs to be done to make manufacturers fix safety issues that come up even if they are not included in a pool of vins targeted in recall campaigns. nissan knows there is a problem and needs to fix them all, not just choice ones. especially if there is proof of the malfunction happening. *dt the consumer stated her husband rerouted the cables in the door and fixed the problem. *tr

Own a 2015 altima where the headlights are dim and yellow due to internal corrosion and the projector lens is opaque, which diffuses the light output. very poor lighting

The driver'side low beam head light does not provide any side light all or front light greater than 10 feet. the light bulbs for both low beams were replaced with led bulbs 02/03/2019, which made no difference in the driver's side power. the lack of light power makes driving at night extremely difficult especially left turns which has almost caused me to have had an accident due to the inability to see during a left turn. this problem began in june 2017, the car was purchased new in march 2015.

My door latch on the driver side door stopped latching to close the door when letting the window down now door stays open when driving.its not latched the lock isn't catching and door handle to open the door is loose. i was tryi g to close the door and the handle is not latching when i was coming home from the grocery store with mr children they have a recall for the back doors on this type of car but this is the front door doing the same thing as the back door in the recall it's just the front driver side door.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. while driving 65 mph, the vehicle would not accelerate past 25 mph without warning. the vehicle was taken to sansone nissan (90-100 us-1, avenel, nj 07001, (888) 437-1763) where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and offered to pay 90% of the repair cost. the failure recurred. the failure mileage was 71,000.

I’ve now replaced my headlights a second time in less than a month and no change. when i drive on streets, highways, or when i turn at dark i have no visibility from my headlights.the lights aren’t proejecting enough light so that i can see three feet ahead of me. other vehicles pull up behind me and their headlights show a shadow in front of me. nissan wants to charge me $200 to look at them to tell me i what’s wrong. i’m concerned for my safety and the safety of others.

As i was driving down i-95 south going 70 mph my car suddenly dropped down to 60 and then 50 mph and no matter how much a pressed the gas, the car continued to lose power. i barely made it to the next exit and had to drive with my hazard lights on so other drivers knew that i couldn’t drive any faster. i pulled into a gas station and let the car sit for approximately 30-45 mins. before attempting to drive the rest of the way home. during the remainder of my drive, the rpm would all of a sudden jump which caused my car to jerk and accelerate forward without warning. had someone been in front of me, i would’ve hit them. as i was taking my car to nissan the next day, my car would stall at red lights and no matter how much i pressed the gas it would take forever to begin moving. this is very dangerous and very scary and i dont feel safe.

Transmission revving out, slipping and shuddering. vehicle is only 67000 miles.

Rear brakes worn down to metal with only 35,000 miles on odometer while front brakes indicate far less wear and did not require replacement. this condition is indicative of malfunctioning or mis-adjusted proportioning valve. it also indicates potential stability and handling issues due to higher braking force being applied to rear brakes while stopping. dealer (surf city nissan, hunting beach ca), when questioned, gave various reasons as to why this was happening: 1. "your car has rear disc brakes and that's why they wear out faster" 2. "it depends on who's driving the car" 3. "older cars apply more force to the font than the back brakes, not the new ones" all of these statements are contradicted by sae publication, "vehicle dynamics, stability and control", 2017. dealers would not acknowledge that this condition is a potential safety issue and therefore would not investigate it further. dealer, service rep and service techs are not familiar with basic principles of vehicle operation, safe operation and function. contacted nissan north america, tn (ian) and they would give no technical information or opinion on the apparent unsafe condition of the car and deferred to the "expertise" of the dealer. as indicated above, the dealer displays little or no expertise with regard to this condition.

Cpsc: i was driving in the rain yesterday when my driver's side windshield wiper fell off of my car into the road. i had to turn my wiper blades off and turn my hazard lights on in order to safely pull into a parking lot. when i got out of the vehicle and checked, i saw that the plastic piece that attaches to the car was still firmly in place, but the rest of the blade appeared to have snapped off. *dt *js

Air bag indicator on dashboard came on suddenly one morning at mileage of 86,500 and would not go off even after re-starting. we took the vehicle to our local dealership were we purchased the vehicle, to be diagnosed. the dealership determined it was a faulty ocs for the occupant side airbag and that it would not be cover even though we had a gold 120,000 extended warranty with no-deductibles. this is one of he excluded parts not covered under the extended warranty. i reached out to nissan consumer affairs on 11-30-18 after discussing with the dealership and spoke with a helen employee #7319348 and was assigned case# 33678608 and was told someone would get back to me by the end of the day 12-3-18. on 12-3-18 brandan fro nissan consumer affairs called back, but i missed his call. i returned his call and left messages for him to call me back on 2 more occasions but did not hear back from him. on the morning of 12-5-18 i called him again and was able to speak with him. brandan employee # 33678608 told me that they would not be covering the part or labor involved (approx cost according to dealership of $450 for parts and labor). i explained to him that this particular vehicle had a total of 8 recalls documented under the nhtsa of which 3 of dealt with the occupant side airbag and ocs (#16v911000, #16v24400 and #15v681000) and that it was a safty issue and was no fault of ours and based upon all this information the correct thing to do would be to cover this issue. he apologized over-and-over but would not commit to cover this. it is of my opinion and the opinion of the dealership that this issue is most likely related to any one of those 3 recalls and i am therefore calling upon the nhtsa to assist with this by adding this as another recall and allowing us to get reimbursed for the issue as well as to protect other owners that may encounter the same issue.

The plastic hanging rod of driver side sun visor was broken and dropped while driving, blocking the view of driver. i was surprised to find out the hanging rod is made of plastic, since the visor needs to be inserted back to position with force and is used on daily basis. after online search, i have realized this problem is common for nissan brand. the dealership asks more than $200 plus tax for this part. i have a prefered gold extended warranty, which does not cover this defective part. my car is 2015 model. how can a manufacturer use a plastic for a hanging rod , because it is hidden underneath the fabric of the visor? it is a fraudulent design using a plastic, which can not sustain the force and destined for failure. it is a safety issue, since it failed while i was driving and dropped in front of me, blocking my view of road.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. while driving 45 mph, the hood unintentionally unlatched and blocked the contact's view while driving. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to vision nissan of webster (785 ridge rd, webster, ny 14580, (585) 787-2000) where the contact was informed that the hood latch needed to be replaced. the vehicle was currently being repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 85,000.

I have nissan altima 2015 for 4 years. i have a real problem with headlights that limited my driving during night or dark situation. the first year of my car, the headlights were fine and work, but in the second year, headlight becomes more dimer. on the second year, i took it for va inspection, and the inspector told me to take care of your headlights. after a while i noticed, it becomes more dimer. i cannot see 10 feet in front of my car. i almost hate two person and many times i hated the island or midden. i am ok and the car did not have big damage or problem. today, i took it for yearly inspection, and the inspector did not pass the inspection in the same kind of condition. i promise her that i fix my car and show it to her in two weeks. otherwise, she never passed my inspection in next year.

When a passenger sit in front passengers seat the air bag light stays off and it will go from on to off once in a while even if the is someone sit in the front

I have experienced an increase in loss of roadway visibility due to the malfunctioning and dimming of my 2015 nissan altima headlights. i have made several documented complaints to nissan motor corp and my local nissan dealer in bradenton and brandon, who advised it would require me to pay a costly repair out of pocket. the problem has worsen. i am unable to drive my vehicle at night, limiting my schedule to an almost halt when leaving from work. my commute is long and dangerous.there has been near miss car accidents on several occasions while in motion on highways and roadways. the dim lighting is posing a risk to me as a driver, i am visually impaired as well, please help soon.

The drivers side sun visor flops down when driving. the part is defective that holds it up. creates a safety issue because it blocks visibility. the part broke and nissan is refusing to cover. in addition the extended warranty that was purchased is also refusing to cover the part. this is dangerous since the drivers side visor blocks sun from blinding me when driving but having it blocking my view completely can cause an accident. this is an ongoing issue with the visor. it is also in the murano and the pathfinder yet they are claiming this is a wear issue that somehow i am at fault for. this needs to be addressed. nissan continues to knowingly install defective parts in their cars which can cause an accident.

My headlights started dimming over a year ago, and i can't even see the ground in front of my car at night. i've complained to orr nissan, bossier city, la and they act as though they don't know what i'm talking about. i need this fixed by them immediately before a tragedy occurs.

A few weeks ago my nissan altima 2015 would not accelerate when i came to a stop and pressed on the gas. i had to almost floor it for it to even go and then it would accelerate slowly. i got it looked at and it drove fine after i turned the car off and it was fine for a few weeks. then a few days ago it did the exact same thing again, every stop i made it would not accelerate until i pressed on the gas hard then it slowly started moving, only this time the rpm went crazy and it started shutting down and wouldn't go at all, it completely stalled. i thought my car was not able to drive it so called the tow truck. once the tow truck got it to the dealership it started and worked fine again. they ran a diagnostic test and said it may be internal transmission which will cost 1500$ if that is all it is if they go in and it doesn't correct the problem then i will need a whole new transmission. they said my warranty should cover it but may not cover all of it. my car is only 3 years old it should not need a new transmission. i hope this does not happen again. when i felt the car doing the same thing i took the back roads instead of the freeway. imagine if my car stalled in middle of freeway or if someone was behind me and hit me because it just stopped working. no engine light and no warning of any kind came on.

Vehicle was stationary. dash panel displayed key not detected. car wouldn't start. replace battery in key fob with a brand new energizer battery. worked fine two times and did the same thing. had car battery checked and was told it was good. car wouldn't start on me again in an unlit parking lot. very dangerous situation. have read on blogs that this is common with this car. why won't they fix it?

While parallel parking on the street next to my home, my car experienced a sudden acceleration. i had pulled into the space between the two vehicles in the photo provided. while my foot was on the brake, and the car stationary, i placed the gear selector into reverse in order to back away from the car in front. as i started to release the brake, my car unexpectedly accelerated. i pressed against the brake. with the wheels skidding along the asphalt and having the front wheels turned slightly, the car hit the curb and the car behind me. all cars pictured are family members cars. i have contacted the nissan complaint hot line. they informed me that there is a update for the control unit, but that what i had experienced is not a condition for the update.

Took my nissan to jeff wyler kings nissan in cincinnati, ohio on october 16th after i was made aware of a service bulletin to reprogram cvt transmission. picked up car that afternoon drove it rest of day and the next day my check engine light came on. took it back to the dealer and they ran a diagnostic test and said i needed a new transmission at a cost of $4200. my car is almost 4 yrs old with 84,000 miles on it. the tech said the reason for the reprogramming was to pick up on the issues in the transmission and tech told me that this problem could have been there for months and even a year or so and the computer not throw the engine code because of either faulty transmission or transmission program. i just feel its extremely fishy that after they reprogrammed the transmission the very next day engine light comes on and need a new transmission. i have called nissan and have a case # or ca # of 33093284 and am asking nissan to cover the transmission under warranty.

The dunlop tires which came with the new 2015 nissan altima i bought in january of 2015 were manufactured in 2013. since i bought the car, i was loosing air in all four (4) tires. i complained to the dealer twice and they could not find any problem. so i went and i bought an air pump which i used almost every week to fill in the air i was losing. recently, while i was driving with my grandchildren, one of the tires lost 15 points pressure within one mile on the road. it was a zipline fracture according to the mechanic who replaced the tires for me. i contacted both dunlop and nissan and both kept on throwing the problem on each other. dunlop offered to give me a replacement credit to be used for dunlop/goodyear tires which i do not trust. nissan refused to hear my complaint because they do not warrant tires even though i bought the dunlop tires with the new vehicles. i do not trust either of the two companies because they do not stand behind their product. thank god that we did not sustain any injury or death but the 2013 tires were really defective since i bought the car.

Car will suddenly lose ability to accelerate during hot or cold weather. when this happens, the car will hesitate to move for about 5 seconds then will suddenly begin to accelerate at a very low speed. if i pull over and turn the car off for a few minutes, it behaves normally again. i have almost been involved in several accidents this winter and summer when this has happened in heavy traffic. please help.

I was driving down the highway when my rpm gauge raced overv7000 then dropped to 0 and i lost all ability to control the transmission. engine light came on afterwards. called nissan and had it checked out and was told it was the cvt transmission and that it is common for this to happen with no warning.?nice hazard as i was almost rear ended on the highway when it happened and nissan said since it had 115k miles nothing they would do about it

I can not see at all with my regular headlights on (low beams)..it is a terrible safety hazard and i drive around with my 3 year old everyday andnight...it’s sooo bad and i was shocked to hear that nissan is taking zero responsibility for this...there are so many complaints about this....they should friken do something cause it’s very unfair that now i have to pay for friken new headlights and shell out over $600 for friken defected headlights....never ever buying a damn nissan ever again...if they don’t eventually (sometime soon) take care of this....& do the right thing by their customers....

The first time i noticed this problem was on a girls trip to rockport, tx on sept 1, 2018. one of the ladies asked if my headlights were on. i said yes. she asked me to pull over so she can confirm. she confirmed the lights were on. on september 23, 2018 i was coming back home on a dark highway with my sister when we found could not see three feet in front of the vehicle. it appeared as though i had no headlights on. i pulled over to check and the headlights were on. i got back in the car and drove to the first open auto parts place i could find on a sunday night around 8pm. the man suggested bulb replacement. i replaced the bulbs. however, on october 20, 2018 i was again driving and on a dark road with a lot of people walking on the side and i nearly hit a person because i didn't see them because of the poor lighting come from the headlight. i went back to the auto parts store and the man suggest a more expensive bulbs and as of today october 25, 2018 i still have the same problem. i am in fear of my life and the people in my vehicle. i am about to drive to arkansas in two weeks. this is a safety hazard to drive this way. all cars driving next to me have much more significant lighting for the road. nissan needs to recall and replace these defective, dangerous, headlights that are failing so no one become a casualty.

Headlights have become extremely dim on low beam. cannot see even a few feet ahead, cannot see anything on the sides like curbs. makes it treacherous to drive after dark. i almost hit a pedestrian twice in the last month because i could not see them without the brights on. barely bright enough to pick up on the reflective buttons that mark lanes. can't see enough of the street to make turns, without running the risk of missing the lane and hitting the curb or another vehicle. the problem just arose in the last 2-3 months. prior to that the headlights seemed fine, and i do a lot of night driving. some with city streetlights, and some on roads with minimal lighting. lights may have dimmed gradually, but i first noticed it in late august, early september 2018. at that point it was a very noticeable change. 2 passengers have pointed out that they didn't think i even had the headlights turned on. on high beam, the lights work wonderfully. unfortunately, that is not safe to use when facing oncoming vehicles or with vehicles in front of you. this is not an oxidation issue of the lens cover. the lens is crystal clear still, and the car is just now about 4 years old. has 55000 miles on it. it seems there are quite a few complaints about the low beam headlights for nissan altimas. i'm afraid someone will get killed in an accident before anything is done to correct the issue. please investigate the problem and help prevent such a tragedy.

I keep reading the same exact story as mine, yet no recalls or help for this problem on so many nissan altimas. sitting still at a redlight, light turns green, your foot is on accelerator but nothing happens for five to ten seconds. finally the engine begins to rev. extremely scary when turning in front of traffic. can also happen when going down the road and all of a sudden the tachometer races, engine races, and wont come down until you pull over and turn the car off and immediately turn it back on. this resets something and everything is okay then. turning it back on resets the problem so it's obviously a simple issue but it is a very dangerous problem. my whole family has come close on several occasions of being in a serious wreck due to this persistent problem. i'm shocked that nissan hasn't had a recall on this. i read on the internet that there is a recommendation that the valve body be replaced, but this is not in effect for my particular vin number. you asked below when this happened. it has happened ever since i had the vehicle for the past two years. sporadically, maybe once every two to three weeks.

The airbag light is on the car and wont come off

We purchased the car new in 2014 and always took it to the dealership to have oil changes and tire rotation. we noticed the low tire signal coming on from time to time. i got a small nail in the front tire and took it to a garage to get it removed. the car just turned over 40,000 miles. we told the attendant we were going on vacation the next week and he checked all 4 tires. that is when we found out that the 2 rear tires belts were breaking on the inside and the inside tire treads had unusual wear.no one should have to buy new tires with only 40,000 miles.

My nissan altima cvt transmission is going up again. this is the third time and nissan had my car for almost three weeks and i had to call and see a status and if i didn't i still wouldn't of got a call about it. they told me they did a software update on the control module of the transmission and there is a note in my account that i can bring it up as many times as i need to with no charge to me. are you kidding me red flag, and lets not forget this is the third time they had my vehicle on the same problem and this is a red flag for not knowing how many more times this will happen in the future but it will happen. the cvt transmission is a vehicle with no reliability with it, costs you an arm and leg, and the car is crap. they all need to be recalled. the vehicle makes a whiney nose going down or up hills, the rpm's get stuck in 2nd gear and don't let you go above 20mph unless you take your foot off and then stomp it to the floor to kick it out of gear, and the car tries to overdue your driving to do its own. the transmission is crap and needs to be recalled after all the reviews out there saying the same thing from 2008 to at least 2015 or 2016.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that the rear driver's side child safety lock failed to release. the contact also stated that the rear driver's side window failed to go completely down. the vehicle was taken to a local dealer (avondale nissan, 10305 w papago fwy, avondale, az 85323, 877-921-9601), but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failures and opened case number: 32216717. no further assistance was provided. the failure mileage was 109,000.

Car shudders at low rpm acceleration and sometimes stalls when turning on to a busy street. told by dealer transmission needs to be replaced. car has 46000 miles and a branded title. car restored to perfect condition after minor accident. nissan refuses to acknowledge any further warranty due to the branded title. the reason for complaint is that there is a high percentage of these vehicles with this same transmission issue. under normal circumstances the warranty would cover the powertrain for up to 60,000 miles regardless of the extended powertrain warranty that nissan has granted to other altima owners with this problem.

Nissan seems to have defective ac components in their 2015 altima vehicles. the below link shows additional individuals that have experienced the exact same issue with their 2015 altima. the compressor does not always engage, which causes the vehicle to blow out hot air. however, in some cases the compressor clutch will engage and blow out cool air, but it is very inconsistent. http://m.carcomplaints.com/nissan/altima/2015/ac_heater/ac_is_not_working.shtml

Headlights are extremely dim. i got pulled over twice because my headlights were to din or appear to be off. i have replaced the bulbs but it remained the same. this needs to be recalled immediately because it a safety issue when driving in the rain and at night. i drive a lot at night and i have to use my high beam and that makes it dangerous for other drivers because it distracts them. why won't nissan recall this issue?

When i parked my car my fuel light was not on i had 111 miles on my dash when i started my car in the morning my low fuel light was on saying low gas and as i drove the mileage went down below 60. i’ve also noticed lately that my gas just runs out a lot faster than normal.

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.

When temperatures are 15 degrees, or lower the engine makes a loud rumbling and knocking noise when started up. the colder it is the louder and longer it last. generally it takes 5-10+ minutes before it quiets down. second issue is; regardless of temperature, when accelerating on a grade it also makes a rumbling noise. the car has 57,000 on it and is very good condition otherwise

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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 admit fault. the reprogramming of the tcm is a clear indication nissan is aware of the issue and is attempting to remedy it by eliminating certain shift points; however, it is inadequate and the damage has already been done. the lives of people are at stake with this transmission! is it just of matter of time before the loss of life will occur because of this faulty cvt transmission! thank you!

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.

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.
