2012 Nissan Altima Complaint Log

WORK/REPAIR ORDERS, AVAILABLE ON REQUEST. IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH NISSAN ALTIMA'S FEATURING THE CTV TRANSMISSION. 1) PURCHASED THE CAR FROM HERTZ, 12/13. 2) ACCELERATION PROBLEM NOTED WHEN FIRST EXTENDED TRIP WAS TAKEN TO BAKERSFIELD IN 5/14. 3) PROBLEM: WHEN THE ENGINE WAS WARM THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR FAILS AND CAR CAN NOT ACCELERATE. CAR FAILED GOING OVER THE "GRAPEVINE" IN GORMAN, CA. 4) UNDER NISSAN 60M WARRANTY, TOOK THE CAR TO GET CHECKED. CAR HAD 59M MILES ON IT. EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. THEY CLAIMED IT WAS A THROTTLE SENSOR. FIXED IT UNDER WARRANTY. 5) NEXT TRIP TO LAS VEGAS, GOING UP THE I-15 THROUGH VICTORVILLE, AUG/2014. THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. ACCELERATION FAILED WHEN ENGINE WAS WARM AND CLIMBING A GRADUAL INCLINE. 6) TOOK THE CAR BACK TO BP NISSAN. NOW THEY CLAIM TO KNOW FOR SURE THE PROBLEM WAS NOT WITH THE THROTTLE SENSOR BUT WITH THE CTV TRANSMISSION. UNFORTUNATELY THEY NOW CLAIM MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND REQUIRES A $4,000.00 NEW TRANSMISSION. 7) AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM IT APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE NEW ALTIMA CTV TRANSMISSION. THEY NEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT THE CAR IN WITH 59M MILES ON IT. THEY "KICKED THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD" HOPING I WOULDN'T COME BACK UNTIL AFTER THE 60M MILE WARRANTY EXPIRED. DANGEROUS SITUATION HAVING TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. ESPECIALLY WITH KIDS IN THE CAR. THEY REFUSE TO GIVE ME A "DECLINE OF SERVICE" LETTER. PLEASE ADVISE.

ALTIMA WAS SERVICED AT A DEALERSHIP LESS THAN A WEEK AGO FOR OIL AND FILTER CHANGE. I WAS DRIVING THE 2012 ALTIMA FROM WORK ON 4/10/14. IT LOOKED THE CAR WAS STALLING ON THE HIGHWAY MULTIPLE TIMES. I SLOWED DOWN AND MANAGED TO GET HOME, ALL ALONG IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STOP ANY TIME, LUCKILY IT DID NOT HAPPEN. BUT THIS MORNING (4/11/14) IT STOPPED ON THE DRIVEWAY STALLED AFTER MOVING 15 FEET. TOWED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT REPAIRED. *JS

2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HE STARTED NOTICING LITTLE GLITCHES, IN OTHERWISE SMOOTH RIDES. THEN HE STARTED EXPERIENCING A 2-3 SECOND DELAY BETWEEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY MOVING. ON WEDNESDAY APRIL 9, 2014, HE WAS BARELY ABLE TO DRIVE TO WORK, AND HAD TO COAST WITH HIS HAZARD LIGHTS ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, WHERE THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED IT WOULD COST $ 3911 TO FIX THE CVT TRANSMISSION.

PUSHED BRAKE TO START STOPPING, BRAKES SHUTTERED. LET UP ON BRAKE, THEN REAPPLIED AND IT SHUTTERED AGAIN. THIS CONTINUED. CHECKED BRAKE FLUID, IT WAS DOWN SLIGHTLY, PUT IN TO FILL. PROBLEM BETTER BUT STILL EXISTS, NOW AIR COMPRESSOR GONE.. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT IN OCT 2012 WHAT A LEMON. THANK GOODNESS IT IS A LEASE. NOISE UNDER CAR SINCE DAY BOUGHT. AT 30 MPH IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING HITS SOMETHING UNDER THERE. DEALER SAYS, JUST NATURE OF CAR. I DO NOT BUY THAT EXPLANATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE IN PARK, THE CONTACT NOTICED WATER INSIDE THE DOOR PANELS OF THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD TO SHAKE THE DOORS IN ORDER TO GET THE WATER OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEALS TO THE DOOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE PART NOT BEING AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE DOORS FAILED TO LOCK AND UNLOCK ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS. THE FAILURE BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER THE YEARS.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 7/16/15*CN

DRIVING LONG DISTANCES MY CAR OVERHEATS, LOOSES POWER GOING FROM 70 MPH DOWN TO 40 MPH IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. I AM FORCED TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND LET IT RESET ITSELF. IT HAS ALWAYS MADE A WHINING NOISE DURING ACCELERATION, AND THE BRAKES HAVE SQUEAKED FROM DAY ONE. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO NISSAN SEVERAL TIMES AND AM ALWAYS BEEN GIVEN LAME EXCUSES. NOW THAT MY WARRANTY IS UP THEY HAVE A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEMS. NEW TRANSMISSION OR OVERHEAT CONVERTER TO THE TUNE OF $1600. HOW CONVENIENT THEY HAVE A SOLUTION NOT THAT MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY!! THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME OR FIX MY CAR UNLESS I FORK OVER THE MONEY. MY CAR HAS HAD PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED IT AND THERE WAS NEVER ANY RESOLVE. I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AS I DO A LOT OF DRIVING. MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY 2,000 MILES WHEN THEY MIRACULOUSLY FOUND A CAUSE AND SOLUTION FOR MY PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, ONE OF THE TIRES FLATTENED. THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR WAS NOT ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO PROPERLY ACCELERATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSMISSION AXLE ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION FLUID PAN WAS CRACKED. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,150.

DASH IS MELTING AND SHINY CREATING A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WHEN DRIVING. THIS STARTED YEARS AGO AND ONLY GETS WORSE. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED SEVERAL TIMES TO DEALER. I HAVE TO DRIVE BUT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I CANNOT BELIEVE NISSAN IS TAKING THE CHANCE AND NOT FIXING THIS PROBLEM.

THE LIGHTS ON DIM ARE SO DIM YOU CAN'T SEE THE ROAD. YOU HAVE TO PUT ON BIGHTS TO SEE THE ROAD.

THE 'AIRBAG OFF' LIGHT FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT TURNS ON RANDOMLY, REGARDLESS OF WHO IS IN THE SEAT (140+ POUNDS). THE CAR WAS PURCHASED OFF LEASE LAST YEAR FROM EAST COAST AUTO MALL, 340 SYLVAN AVE, ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ 07632. WE CALLED THEM AND ASKED ABOUT IF THE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY IF THE LIGHT WAS ON, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS AN ADULT IN THE SEAT, THIS WAS THEIR RESPONSE: "WELL NO.. BUT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE WEARING A SEAT BELT." LAST NISSAN I'LL BUY, AFTER OWNING 4 CONSECUTIVELY. *TR

BOUGHT THIS CAR NOV 30 2013 FROM THE DEALER THAT ORIGINALLY OWNED IT, IT WAS A LOANER CAR FOR THEIR SERVICE DEPT. FROM DAY ONE THAT I HAVE OWNED IT, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON AN OFF AT WILL. WITH NOTHING IN THE SEAT, IT COMES ON AND OFF, WITH A PERSON IN THE SEAT IT ALSO COMES ON AND OFF. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE! I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT DIDN'T DO IT WHILE THEY WERE LOOKING AT IT. BRING IT BACK WHEN IT GETS WORSE.... THERE ARE ALOT OF THESE CARS OUT THERE WITH THIS PROBLEM! THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THE SENSOR/SEAT/ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RELATED TO THIS. I AM SURE THERE IS A SHORT IN THE SYSTEM. MY GRANDMOTHER'S 2012 ALTIMA ALSO DOES THIS SAME THING. ALSO SOMETHING IS LEAKING ONTO THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD BY THE CONSOLE. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A BODY PANEL AND "FIXED" IT, BUT IT IS STILL LEAKING IN THE SAME SPOT, I HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER YET FOR THE LEAK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE PROBLEM RECURRED ABOUT FOUR TIMES AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE MECHANIC COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ALSO COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT N REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000. UPDATED 08/27/14*LJ UPDATED 09/18/2014 *JS

MY ISSUE CONCERNS THE EXTREMELY BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS (ESPECIALLY AFTERMARKET HALOGEN) THAT ARE ALLOWED TO BE INSTALLED ON CARS AND WORSE ON SUV'S AND PICK-UP TRUCKS. THESE LIGHTS ARE BLINDING IN NORMAL HIGHWAY NIGHT TRAVEL, ESPECIALLY WHEN OPPOSING DRIVERS USE THEM AT THE HIGH BEAM LEVEL. IT IS WORSE WHEN A CAR DRIVER IS OPPOSED BY A SUV OR A PICK-UP TRUCK WHOSE LIGHTS ARE MOUNTED ABOUT ONE FOOT HIGHER THAN THE ONES MOUNTED ON A TYPICAL CAR. MY WIFE'S ACCIDENT WHEN SHE ENTERED THE LEFT TURN LANE OF A HIGHWAY WITH A SINGLE LANE IN EACH DIRECTION WITH A DEDICATED LEFT TURN LANE AT THE INTERSECTION. AS MY WIFE'S CAR SAT IN THE LEFT TURN LANE, IT WAS DIRECTLY OPPOSITE A SUV OR PICK-UP TRUCK WITH EXTREMELY BRIGHT LIGHTS THAT BLINDS YOU FROM SEEING ANYTHING BEYOND THE PLANE OF THE HEADLIGHTS. WHEN THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL TURNED GREEN, THE OPPOSING VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. MY WIFE EVENTUALLY DECIDED TO EASE SLOWLY OUT. STILL UNABLE TO SEE, SE WAS EVENTUALLY INTO THE INTERSECTION WHERE SHE WAS HIT BY A CAR IN THE THROUGH LANE. THESE HALOGEN LIGHTS ARE NOT NECESSARY FOR MOST DRIVING. THE HEIGHT DIFFERENTIAL OF HEADLIGHTS BETWEEN CARS AND SUV'S IS ABOUT ONE FOOT AND IS DANGEROUS. IT ALSO VERY BAD ON COUNTRY ROADS WITH NO CENTERLINES OR NO EDGE LINES. IF YOU ENCOUNTER A VEHICLE ON THIS TYPE OF A COUNTRY ROAD AND THE ROAD AHEAD CURVES - LOOK OUT - YOU HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF RUNNING OFF THE ROAD. ANOTHER THING THAT MAKES THIS ISSUE WORSE IS OLDER DRIVERS WHO HAVE HAD CATARACT SURGERY. THIS INCREASES THE INTENSITY OF THE LIGHTS. IN THE INTEREST OF TRAFFIC SAFETY, ALL VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS ON PASSENGER CARS, SUV'S AND PICK-UP TRUCKS SHOULD HAVE THE SAME HEIGHT. AND THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE LIGHTS SHOULD HAVE A MAXIMUM VALUE. I KNOW THAT THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY WILL PREVENT THIS ISSUE FROM BECOMING REALITY. BUT IT IS A NEEDED CHANGE. THANKS FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE. *TR

SINCE WHEN MY CAR HAD 31,000 MILES IT'S BEEN WINGING AND LOSING POWER RAPIDLY, NO ACCELERATION, IT'S A CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUE. IT'S A REALLY DANGEROUS CAR. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING SO MANY TIMES . NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION ARE VERY DANGER. IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IN THE FREEWAY BECAUSE IT CAN GO FROM 65 MPH DOWN TO 5 MPH RAPIDLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND PROTECT THE LIFE OF PEOPLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR TIRES BECAME WORN. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL TIRE DEALER TO HAVE THE TIRES REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE TIRES COULD NOT BE ALIGNED CORRECTLY DUE TO FAULTY CALIPERS. THE CONTACTED STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE ABNORMALLY WHEN DRIVING AT LEAST 55 MPH DUE TO NOT HAVING THE WHEEL PROPERLY ALIGNED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,509. UPDATED 12/23/13*LJ

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED AND CONSTRICTED THE CHILD BEING RESTRAINED IN THE SEAT. THE CHILD SUSTAINED MINOR BRUISING AS A RESULT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE SEAT BELT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,340.

THE PAINT ON THE HOOD CAME OFF IN A CHUNK, DURING A CAR WASH. IT AS REPORTED TO THE DEALER AND NISSAN DIRECTLY. AFTER THEY GAVE ME THE RUNAROUND FOR 6+ MONTHS, NISSAN SAID IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM, THAT IT WAS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. I HAVE SINCE HAD THE CAR REPAIRED. THE HOOD NEEDED TO BE TAKEN DOWN TO BARE METAL, AND REPAINTED. THE COST WAS OVER $500.00. NOW THE ROOF IS DOING THE SAME AS THE HOOD.I AM NOT A HAPPY NISSAN OWNER. *TR

WHEN I TRY TO START THE CAR, THE POWER COMES ON(RADIO COMES ON, DASHBOARD LIGHTS), BUT THE IGNITION DOESN'T START. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 15K MILES ON IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE NO KEY MESSAGE SUDDENLY DISPLAYED AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WITH TWO DIFFERENT KEYS. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

I HAD PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AT A LOCAL GYM, AS I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STAY IN DRIVE AND SURGED FORWARD INTO THE BUILDING. ONCE THE VEHICLE HIT THE BUILDING, I ONCE AGAIN TRIED TO PLACE THE CAR IN PARK, AND IT ONCE AGAIN SURGED FORWARD AND HIT THE BUILDING. THE ONLY WAY I COULD STOP THE CAR WAS TO HIT THE POWER BUTTON TO TURN THE CAR OFF. ONCE THE OFFICER ARRIVED ON SCENE, HE ASKED ME TO PLACE THE CAR IN NEUTRAL SO THAT HE COULD MOVE THE CAR OFF THE CURB, HOWEVER, THE CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD. AS A RESULT THE CAR WAS ONCE AGAIN POWERED DOWN TO AVOID ANY FURTHER INCIDENT. *TR

POWER LOCKS/WINDOWS WERE SLOW. CONTACTED NISSAN AND SPOKE TO [XXX] THAT TOLD ME WE NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, BUT IT WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE. I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE MILEAGE HAD TO DO WITH THE WINDOWS AND LOCKS. NISSAN TOOK CARE OF THE ISSUE. IN JANUARY 2013 THEY ALL WENT OUT AND CONTACTED [XXX] AGAIN. THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE WORK UNTIL WE PAID OUT OF POCKET AND THEY REIMBURSED US MINUS THE LABOR. WELL IT IS ALMOST A YEAR LATER AND THE WINDOWS ARE ACTING UP AGAIN. I CAN'T AFFORD THE 900.00 TO FIX ALL THE ISSUES AGAIN. TURNED OUT TO BE A LEMON INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).? *TR

CVT TRANSMISSION AND (UN)"SAFE MODE" THIS HAS OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE TRIPS ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS 60-80 MPH THAT ARE USUALLY IN EXCESS OF 70 MILES. THE VEHICLES TRANSMISSION WILL GO INTO "SAFE MODE". THE VEHICLES TRANSMISSION WILL NO LONGER REV ABOVE 2900 RPM WHICH INHIBITS THE VEHICLES ABILITY TO MAINTAIN SAFE HIGHWAY SPEEDS ESPECIALLY IF ANY SORT OF INCLINE IS INTRODUCED (IT IS HARD TO MAINTAIN A SPEED OF 45MPH AND THERE IS MINIMAL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE). THE ONLY REMEDY I HAVE DISCOVERED IS TO LET THE VEHICLE COOL DOWN. AFTER THE FIRST OCCURRENCE AT ~ 40,000 MILES THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO STATED THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE (CODES OR OBVIOUS DEFECTS). AFTER THE SECOND OCCURRENCE THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE, HOWEVER NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY OUT TO 100,000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION WILL STILL GO INTO SAFE MODE FROM TIME TO TIME AND HAS ADDITIONALLY BEGAN MAKING A QUITE OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD WHINING NOISE (AT ~ 60,000 MILES, SIMILAR TO WHEN A POWER STEERING PUMP IS A ABOUT TO FAIL).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND LOST POWER AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PO744, CVT A AND B TEMP WERE FOUND OUT OF SPECIFICATION AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID NEEDED REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

TL - THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL TIRES, LINE: CONTI PRO CONTACT, SIZE: 215/45/17.

ON 5/16/2013 AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF HIGHWAY DRIVING MY 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE IN ORDER NOT TO GET HIT FROM TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. AFTER AWHILE I WAS ABLE TO LIMP INTO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. NISSAN SERVICE SAID IT WAS A ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM). NISSAN REPLACE AND REPROGRAMMED THE ECM UNDER WARRANTY. ON 7/11/2013 THE SAME ISSUE RETURNED LEAVING ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH NO POWER ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS! AGAIN I LIMPED BACK TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND THIS TIME THEY DIAGNOSED THAT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND THEY GRACEFULLY COVERED IT EVEN THOUGH I NOW HAD 41K MILES. NOW LESS THAN 2 YEARS LATER 5/13/2015 MY CAR LOST POWER JUST AS IT HAD BEFORE ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, NARROWLY GETTING CREAMED BEFORE PULLING OVER! BACK TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND AT FIRST THEY REPORTED NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. I TOLD THEM IT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS HOT, THEY REPLIED THAT THEY COULDN'T DRIVE IT THAT LONG! FINALLY AFTER SEVERAL CALLS THE DEALER FOUND A TSB (NTB-13-079) IDENTIFYING THE SENSOR ON THE TRANSMISSION FORCED IT TO GO INTO LIMP MODE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION GETS HOT. NISSAN'S FIX IS TO SELL ME A $640. TRANSMISSION COOLER. THERE IS A SERIOUS DEFECT WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS PUTTING DRIVERS AT RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY AND NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT IT!

FILLING THE FUEL TANK THE GAS PUMP SHUT OFF THINKING THE TANK WAS FULL WHEN IF FACT THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED IT WASN'T FULL, I PROCEEDED TO FILL THE TANK AGAIN AND IT TOOK AN ADDITIONAL 2 GAL. BEFORE IT REGISTERED FULL, I DID THIS TWO OTHER TIMES AND THE SAME THING OCCURRED, IN ADDITION I WOULD DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 60MILES AND THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD SHOW THAT I USED APPROXIMATELY 4-5GAL OF GAS? THIS IS A 4 CLY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM, THEY REPLACED THE FUEL FILLER VALVE AND THAT DIDN'T HELP, THEN THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, THAT DIDN'T HELP, I'M SCHEDULED TO GO TO THE DEALER AGAIN. SOMETHING IS NOT CALIBRATED TO THE FUEL GAUGE, I DON'T GET A REASONABLE READING OF HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE AND I WANT TO TOP OFF ONCE. I PURCHASED THE 2012 IN FEB. 2013 AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWN.

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG OFF WARNING LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY TURNS ON WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS INDICATES THAT IF THERE WERE AN ACCIDENT WHILE THIS WARNING LIGHT IS ON; THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WOULD NOT GO OFF; WHICH CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND THEY TELL ME THAT THERE ARE NO "CODES" TO BE READ AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THIS. THE DEALER EXPRESSED CONCERN THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE THE OCCUPANCY CLASSIFICATION SENSOR CAN'T BE INDIVIDUALLY REPLACED. APPARENTLY THIS SEAT IS QUITE EXPENSIVE; OVER $2000 AND THE DEALER CLAIMS THAT THEY CAN'T JUST REPLACE IT WITHOUT SOME AUTHORIZATION FROM NISSAN. I HAVE EVEN TAKEN A VIDEO OF MY WIFE IN THE CAR SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE AIRBAG OFF WARNING LIGHT IS TURNED ON (YOUTU.BE/UWOQJQWRAEI) AND HAVE PROVIDED A LINK TO THE DEALER. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS HOPING THEY WOULD HAVE MY CAR FIXED. THEY REPLY THEY GAVE WAS THAT SINCE THE DEALER COULDN'T REPRODUCE IT; THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. MY WIFE IS AFRAID OF DRIVING IN THE CAR WITH ME FOR FEAR THAT SHE COULD BE INJURED.

OUR 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA'S PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WILL SHOWS THE AIRBAG BEING INACTIVE WHILE A PERSON IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. ALL PEOPLE WHO HAVE SAT IN THIS SEAT THIS ISSUE OCCURRED ARE OVER 120 POUNDS. TWICE WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE PLANET NISSAN IN LAS VEGAS WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR. THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID SINCE THE ISSUE CAN BE REPLICATED THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST A 100 HUNDREDS TIMES IN THE PAST TWO YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. EVERY TIME WE CALL A DEALERSHIP WE HEAR THE SAME ANSWER UNLESS WE CAN SEE THE PROBLEM AND DUPLICATE IT WE CANNOT HELP YOU. THE ISSUE IS THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAN BE LIT (SHOWING AIRBAG TO ACTIVE) AND ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP THE LIGHT GOES OUT AND WE ARE BACK TO SQUARE ONE. AFTER TWO YEARS OF GETTING NOWHERE WITH THIS WE TOOK VIDEO OF THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED. WE BROUGHT THIS TO AUTONATION NISSAN IN LAS VEGAS AND THEY CHECK THE WIRING HARNESS SAID IT IS NOT LOOSE THERE IS NOTHING ELSE WE CAN DO UNLESS WE CAN DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. WE LOGGED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN USA HQ AND RECEIVED THE SAME RESPONSE, SORRY WE CANNOT HELP YOU NAY FURTHER. WITH ALL THE RECENT AND PAST NISSAN AIRBAG RECALLS I AM SHOCKED AT THEIR LACK OF WANTING TO DO SOMETHING EXTRA TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED MANY CAR FORUMS AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN, THEY PUSH THE CONSUMER AWAY WITH THE TYPICAL CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM THEREFORE IT ISN'T ONE. AT THIS POINT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE ANYONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS SAFE IN A HEAD ON CRASH. IS IT GOING TO TAKE A PERSON'S DEATH FOR NISSAN TO STEP UP AND MAKE THIS RIGHT? THIS EERILY REMINISCENT OF GM NOT ACTING ON THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCHES IN A TIMELY MANNER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE. THE BRAKE PEDAL DROPPED DOWN TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,400.

THE "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" LIGHT ON EVEN WHEN AN ADULT PASSENGER IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT GOES OFF AFTER LIKE 10-15 MINUTES. THIS HAPPENS VERY FREQUENTLY AND I BELIEVE THOSE 10-15 MINUTES WITHOUT PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF IS TOO DANGEROUS TO LIVE WITH IN CASE IF SOME ACCIDENT HAPPENS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA (N/A). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADREST CAUSED THE CONTACT BACK PAIN, HEAD ACHES AND NUMBNESS IN THE ARM. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER TURNED THE HEAD REST AROUND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE HEAD REST WAS TURNED, THERE WAS NO MORE PAIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

MAYBE A WEEK AFTER PURCHASING A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA ON JULY 25, 2012, I HEARD SQUEAKING SOUNDS WHEN BRAKING. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS GIVEN A LETTER FROM THE MECHANIC STATING THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THE BRAKES TO SQUEAK OCCASIONALLY BECAUSE THE BRAKES A NOT MADE WITH THE SAME MATERIALS USED IN THE PAST. ON OCT 29, 2012, I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE NOISE INCREASED WHEN STOPPING AND I STARTED TO HEAR SCRUBBING WHEN STOPPING. THE MECHANIC CHECKED MY CAR FOR THE 2ND TIME AND ONLY REPLACED BRAKE PADDING IN THE FRONT AND SHAVED ONE ROTOR. NOW ON NOV.14, 2012, THE NOISE IS CONTINUING AND THE SCRUBBING SOUND IS STILL THERE. I THINK THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD PAY TO REPLACE MY BRAKES AND ROTORS BECAUSE THE WAS CAR NEW WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT SOUNDS DANGEROUS AND EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR I AM AFRAID IT MY NOT STOP WHEN I BRAKE TO STOP. *TR

THE PEDALS ARE POSITIONED TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. MY HUSBAND COMPLAINED OF THIS A FEW WEEKS AGO WHEN HE DROVE MY CAR BECAUSE HIS SHOE GOT CAUGHT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HE WAS LIFTING HIS FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL. THEN, YESTERDAY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME. I NEARLY DROVE MY CAR THROUGH THE FRONT OF THE DAYCARE WHERE I WAS DROPPING OFF MY SON. I AM NOW AWARE OF HOW EXTRA-CAUTIOUS I HAVE TO BE WHEN DRIVING MY CAR SO THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME WITH ANY OTHER CAR. I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR 25 YEARS! *TR

TRANSMISSION LEAK IN BELL HOUSING. TRANSMISSION LEAK 1/10/13. TRANSMISSION LEAK 9/11/13. TRANSMISSION LEAK, INTERNAL FAILURE 9/30/13. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER SHE STARTED THE VEHICLE, SHE WOULD SMELL MOLD FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER VENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD CLEAN THE AIR CONDITIONER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,793.
