2014 Nissan Altima Complaint Log

MY CAR SHUT OFF ABRUPTLY WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY AND I ALMOST GOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. LUCKILY, IT WAS RUSH HOUR AND WE WERE ONLY GOING ABOUT 30MPH. I PUT THE CAR BACK IN PARK AND RESTARTED. ONCE RESTARTED, I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND WAS AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND I WAS THE FIRST CAR AT THE RED LIGHT. MY CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION DURING RUSH HOUR. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER AND IT'S A COMPLETE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE. STILL WAITING TO SEE IF NISSAN WILL COVER THE REPLACEMENT. THE CAR HAS 37K MILES AND IS STILL UNDER THE $60K POWER TRAIN WARRANTY.

IN AUGUST OF 2017 I WAS ABOUT TO PARK MY ALTIMA WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. EVENTUALLY, AFTER MANY ISSUES WITH A NISSAN SECURITY PLUS WARRANTY BAIT AND SWITCH ISSUE I GOT THE CVT TRANSMISSION REPLACED. I HAVE NOTICED EVEN ON THIS NEW TRANSMISSION IT STILL SHUDDERS AROUND 25 MPH FREQUENTLY.

BOTH OF MY HEADLAMPS ARE DEFECTIVE AND NISSAN HAS RECOGNIZED THIS AS A MANUFACTURE'S DEFECT BUT HAS REFUSED TO ISSUE A RECALL. THEY ARE ONLY COVERING THE PARTS AND NOT LABOR. BY ACCEPTING TO PAY PART IS AN ADMISSION OF GUILT ON NISSAN'S PART. THE NISSAN DEALER'S MECHANIC (CORAL SPRINGS NISSAN 954-753-1700)HAS ADMITTED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN THESE TYPE OF VEHICLES. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHTS WITH THE HEADLAMPS AND CAN CAUSE A VEHICULAR ACCIDENT. AN INTERNET SEARCH WILL ALSO CONFIRM THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE.

TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AFTER 52K MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE'S RPMS SURGED WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NALLEY NISSAN OF ATLANTA (2551 THE NALLEY WAY, ATLANTA, GA 30360, (678) 825-6749) WHERE THE FAILURES WERE LINKED TO SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: NTV15-102 AND RELATED TO THE CVT; HOWEVER, THE DEALER HAD YET TO DETERMINE IF THE DEFECTS WERE RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION OR THE ENGINE VALVE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. * BF*JB

CAR PURCHASED IN AUGUST 2014 JUST BARELY 3 YEARS OLD THE AC COMPRESSOR WENT OUT IN THE CAR AT THE END OF JULY 2017. DRIVING ON THE THE HIGHWAY NO NOISE THE AC STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR. TURNED THE AIR OFF AND REACHED MY DESTINATION PARKED THE CAR AND TURNED THE AIR BACK ON STARTED OUT COOL THEN RIGHT BACK TO HOT AIR TURNED THE THERMOMETER DOWN TO 60 NO CHANGE. HAD TO DRIVE BACK HOME WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN BUT NEVER HEARD ANY STRANGE NOISES WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN PARKED. TOOK THE CAR TO MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND BASED ON MY DESCRIPTION ALONE THE TECH SAID IT WAS THE AC COMPRESSOR AND SAID THAT THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS WITH THE AC IN THIS MODEL CAR AND QUOTED ME A PRICE OF $1300. HAD ANOTHER REPAIR TECH CHECK AND ALSO CONFIRMED THE COMPRESSOR WAS NOT WORKING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED, THIS TECH OUTSIDE OF NISSAN SAID THE SAME THING THE NISSAN TECH SAID ABOUT THIS MODEL VEHICLE HAVING AC COMPRESSOR PROBLEMS. THE CAR IS PRIMARILY DRIVEN TO WORK AND HOME WITH A FEW TRIPS WITHIN 600 MILES ROUND TRIP.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 75 THE VEHICLE LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE.. IN HEAVY TRAFFIC,I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD,AFTER SITTING FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES I DECIDED TO TRY AGAIN AND IT STARTED UP AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE OFF THE EXIT HAD IT CHECK AND WAS TOLD THEY WAS NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY A PROBLEM.. TOLD NISSAN SAID AT 30,000 MILES WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVER TIME WITHOUT WARNING

I HAVE A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA THAT IS NEARING THE END OF THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY; I TOOK MY CAR IN LAST WEEK FOR VEHICLE RECALLS AND EXPLAINED TO THEM THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING WITH WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I EXPLAINED HOW THE CAR WILL SHUDDER BETWEEN 10-25 MPH SPONTANEOUSLY AND THAT THERE WAS NO SUREFIRE WAY TO KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSING IT OR WHEN IT WOULD HAPPEN; I EXPLAINED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A HANDFUL OF OCCASIONS WHERE I AM AT A STOP AND PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL TO DRIVE AND THE CAR BARELY MOVES WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON AT LEAST TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS - ANOTHER INCIDENT THAT HAPPENS SPONTANEOUSLY; AND LASTLY, I EXPLAINED HOW THE RPM'S WILL REV AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD STICK. THE FIRST DAY THAT NISSAN HAD MY CAR, THEY SAID IT ACTED UP, BUT THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO DO IT AGAIN AND NO CODES CAME BACK TO REVEAL THE PROBLEM. AFTER DAY 2, THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO REGARDING THE ISSUES I COMPLAINED ABOUT. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP MY CAR, THE SERVICE MANAGER JEFF THIBODEAUX SAID HE BELIEVES IT IS MY TRANSMISSION AND WANTED TO REPLACE IT,BUT HE COULDN'T BECAUSE THERE IS NO CODE COMING BACK TO SHOW THE PROBLEM AND THEY COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO ACT UP AGAIN. I EXPLAINED MY CONCERNS ABOUT DRIVING THIS CAR, THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN AND HOW THE WARRANTY WAS ABOUT TO EXPIRE IN LESS THAN 500 MILES; HE SAID THEY HAVE IT DOCUMENTED IN THE SYSTEM AND IF SOMETHING HAPPENS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES, THEY WOULD "GO TO BAT" FOR ME. I WENT A STEP FURTHER AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT AT NISSAN (LAST FRIDAY). TODAY, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM AMANDA, THE CASE MANAGER FOR OUR REGION (CASE NUMBER 27815853). SHE WASN'T HELPFUL; INDICATED THAT UNLESS THE PART FAILS, THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN OR WILL DO. SHE TERMINATED THE CALL WHEN I TOLD HER I WAS RECORDING HER.

Components that failed: -2019 & 2023 Entire headlight assembly 2x - with continuous wiring in headlight that must be adjusted before every drive. -2021 Internal lighting to illuminate the gear shift, which no longer works. -2021 Heater constantly squeals like a pig and blows every fuse, once the several fuse boxes were located. -2017 Engine revs up to 3k-4k rpm's while driving a steady 40 mph. Car went to shop after purchase for this, which is now starting again 6 yrs later. -2022 Window tint is impossible to see through and crispy to the touch. -2017 Engine sputters and car shakes signaling that the 3k miles are almost up and it's time for an oil change. -Years ago- There was a recall for passenger airbags, which hasn't been fixed, but also isn't showing up here. -Mechanics, State Inspections etc have been done as normal.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT IT TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. A DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL CHARLESTON NISSAN DEALER LOCATED AT 1714 SAVANNAH HWY, CHARLESTON, SC 29407 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 42,000.

WHEN I DRIVE DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND I GET NEAR A 18 WHEELERS MY CAR SHAKES REALLY HAD LIKE IF THE WIND IS GOING TO PICK UP MY CAR AND FLIP IT. IT WILL ALSO DO THE SAME THING IF IT IS WINDY OUTSIDE AND I FEEL LIKE IT PUSHES MY CAR ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY AND I FEEL LIKE I'M ABOUT TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY CAR

PASSENGERS AIRBAG SENSOR NOT PICKING UP WHEN THERE IS A PERSON IN THE SEAT NOT ALL THE TIME BUT PERIODICALLY.

TAKATA RECALL

HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA ARE DIM AND I HAVE HAD A PLETHORA OF NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES BECAUSE OTHER CARS FLASH THEIR BRIGHT LIGHTS AT ME THINKING MY LIGHTS WERE NOT ON. I WAS EVEN FOLLOWED AND TOLD THAT MY LIGHTS WERE NOT ON AND HAD TO SHOW THE DRIVER THAT MY LIGHTS WERE ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AFTER MAKING A TURN, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COGGIN NISSAN ON ATLANTIC IN JACKSONVILLE (10600 ATLANTIC BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32225, TEL: 904-302-8231) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THERE WAS A TSB/MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATION NUMBER: NTB15-086D (POWER TRAIN) FOR THE REPROGRAMMING OF THE TCM. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 27315253. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,801.

MY VEHICLE WAS IMPACTED IN LEFT SIDE, AIRBAGS ONLY APPEARS IN RIGHT SIDE. PEOPLE ON LEFT SIDE GET INJURED, VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IMPACTED BY A CAR WITHOUT BREAKS. (ACCIDENT OCCURRED IN SLP, MXICO).

THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDS RECALLED ASAP! I NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS APPEARED MUCH DIMMER SO I REPLACED THE BULBS TWICE BUT IT ISN'T A PROBLEM WITH THE BULB. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU GET BETTER BULBS, THE HEADLIGHT PROJECTOR WILL NOT PROJECT LIGHT FORCING YOU TO DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON. IT IS DANGEROUS! MY SON WAS PULLED OVER DRIVING MY CAR ONE NIGHT BECAUSE THE OFFICER SAID IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE HE HAD HEADLIGHTS AND ADVISED HIM TO DRIVE WITH THE BRIGHT HIGH BEAM LIGHTS ON. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS THAT LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT NISSAN IS DOING NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM! I'VE ALWAYS BOUGHT NISSANS BUT ALL THE ISSUES I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE! THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT I HAVE DEALT WITH NOW FOR TWO YEARS AND SINCE NISSAN WON'T ISSUE A RECALL, I'M FORCED TO PURCHASE NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY'S FOR THE CAR.

TRANSMISSION FAILED AFTER THE CAR HAD 55000 MILES. THE PROBLEM COMMENCED WITH A NOTICEABLE SHUDDER AND JERK WHEN ACCELERATING AND BRAKING. THE CAR EVENTUALLY STOPPED ACCELERATING ALL TOGETHER. TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THIS ALTIMA MODEL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT HAD DIFFICULTY KEEPING THE VEHICLE IN THE CORRECT LANE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAVE SMITH NISSAN (6901 E SPRAGUE AVE, SPOKANE, WA 99212, (509) 924-6242) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000.

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE CAR HAS LOST EXCELLERATION POWER. AFTER COMING TO A STOP, IT WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED WHILE HOLDING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT PICKED UP SPEED. MAKING A SOUND, LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS OUT OF GEAR. EACH TIME IT HAS DONE THIS, I HAVE PULLED OVER TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES. AFTER RESTARTING IT SEEMS TO DRIVE FINE, UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS.

I just bought auction, Door was crash, I had it fix Wheel sight now are good. My name is [XXX] [XXX] . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

WHILE DRIVING APPROX 65 MPH, WAS STARTLED BY LARGE BOOMING CRASH FROM ROOF OF MY CAR. UPON PULLING OVER AND EXAMINING IT WAS APPARENT THAT THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF A ROCK OR OTHER OBJECT HITTING THE SUNROOF, AND NO OTHER AUTOMOBILE HAD BEEN IN CLOSE ENOUGH PROXIMITY TO FLIP UP A ROCK OR OTHER OBJECT. DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THEY HAVE HAD A HANDFUL OF OTHER PEOPLE COME IN WITH UNEXPLAINED SHATTERING OF SUNROOFS.

ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY CAR STARTED ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN, THEN SLOWING DOWN A LOT. AT ONE POINT I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY BC THE CAR JUST WOULDN'T ACCELERATE EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. WE STAYED THERE FOR A BIT WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK. THE CAR DECIDED TO WORK AGAIN TO WE SPED OUT OF THERE AND MADE IT HOME. THE NEXT DAY I CONTACTED NISSAN AND TOLD THEM THE SITUATION AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION AND TO TAKE IT I. TO A DEALERSHIP TO THE CAN SO A THING THEY CALL CVT REPROGRAMMING. SO I DID THE NEXT DAY. THE TOW TRUCK CAME AND PICKED IT UP, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SUPPOSEDLY THEY FIXED IT. SO I WENT TO GO PICK UP THE CAR, AND AT FIRST IT WAS FINE, IT WAS JERKING JUST A LITTLE BUT I FIGURED IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE REPROGRAMMING, THE CAR WAS STILL ADJUSTING. THEN I GOT TO MY FIRST STOP LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE THEN IS STARTED GOI G REALLY REALLY SLOW AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT ACCELERATED SO FAST IT WAS SCARY. I MADE IT ABOUT 10 MINS OUT WHEN I DECIDED IT NEEDED TO GO BACK BC IT WAS DEFINITELY NOT FIXED. ON THE WAY BACK I ALMOST GOT IN A TERRIFYING ACCIDENT AND ALMOST DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT. I WAS AT A STOP SIGN WAITING TO GO ONTO A 2 WAY STREET WITH NO OTHER STOP SIGHS. THE CAR WAS DOING JUST FINE SO I WENT FOR IT AND IN THE MIDDLE OF BOTH STREETS THE CAR SLOWED DOWN QUITE AGGRESSIVELY & THERE WERE 2 CARS HEADED TAPED ME ON FULL SPEED FROM OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. TERRIFYING. EVENTUALLY I MADE T BACK AND THE GUY HELPING ME WAS SO HELPFUL. GAVE ME A RENTAL AND EVERYTHING. THE NEXT DAY HE CALL AND SAYS I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND IT WAS GOING TO BE $3600. SO I CONTACTED CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO BC IT'S NOT FAIR THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKE. AND NOW THEY WON'T CONTACT ME BACK AND I HAVE NO ODE WHATS GOING ON WITH MY CAR.

MY ENGINE IS MAKING A RADDLING NOISE EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE THEN GOES INTO AN EVEN WORSE NOISE LIKE THERE'S SOME SORT OF CRACK IN THE CASING OR A LOOSE BOLT INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE BREAKS SQUEAK EVERY TIME I GO INTO A STOP MOTION. I'VE MADE A APPOINTMENT BEFORE WITH CARMAX BEFORE AND THEY'VE SPENT 5 HOURS IN WHICH NONE OF THE INITIAL ISSUES THAT I DROVE TO AUSTIN FOR. AND SINCE THAT APPOINTMENT NO ONE HAS ANSWERED MY CALLS TO SET UP ANOTHER AND THE TWO MAJOR ISSUES ARE JUST GETTING WORSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS BECAME VERY DIM OVER TIME, WHICH MADE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GILES NISSAN LAFAYETTE (6137 JOHNSTON ST, LAFAYETTE, LA 70503) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PROJECTOR LENS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000. *TT *TR

I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE 2YRS OLD AND AFTER 1YR OF OWNING IT, I NOTICED THE LIGHTS WERE STARTING TO GET LOWER, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. EVENTUALLY I HAD TO START PERMANENTLY DRIVING WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO SEE SOME PART OF THE ROAD AT NIGHT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TRYING TO DRIVE AND MAKING TURNS IN THE DARK WHERE THERE IS LITTLE TO NO STREET LIGHTING.AVAILABLE. THIS ISSUE HAS ALSO CAUSED A DETERIORATION IN MY EYESIGHT FROM CONTINUOUSLY STRAINING MY EYES AT NIGHT.

WHILE DRIVING HOME LAST NIGHT APPROX 35 MPH MY HOOD FLEW OPEN AND UNLATCHED AND IMPAIRED MY WINDSHIELD SIGNIFICANTLY AND VISIBILITY DRIVING WAS EXTREMELY IMPACTED. AS IT WAS LATE IN THE EVENING THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC DIRECTLY IN FRONT OR BEHIND ME. I WAS STARTLED TO SAY THE LEAST. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY NEGOTIATE TO SHOULDER OF ROAD AND ENGAGE HAZARD LIGHTS AND RESECURE THE HOOD. I WAS ON A CITY STREET AND MOVING STRAIGHT AND NOT TURNING THE VEHICLE. I WOULD HATE TO THINK A FAR WORSE OUTCOME IN HEAVY INTERSTATE TRAFFIC AT A HIGHER SPEED.

MY CAR SHUT DOWN MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING IT TO WORK. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO NISSAN AND FIND A WAY TO WORK. NISSAN SAID THEY REPROGRAMMED THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND DIDNT BOTHER TO TELL ME THERE WAS A RECALL. WHEN I GOT IT BACK IT WAS WORSE THAN WHEN I TOOK IT IN THE FIRST TIME. IT IS UNPROFESSIONAL AND DANGEROUS FOR THEM NOT TO TELL ME ABOUT THE RECALL.

LOW BEAM PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM AND REPLACING LIGHT BULBS HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE. SOMETHING IS WRONG IN THE PROJECTOR LENS

PURCHASED 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA SL 11/5/2016 69,500 MILES FROM NISSAN DEALER BOURNE MA. CAR IN FOR D/S FRONT HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT AND TRANSMISSION REVVING RPM COMPLAINT ISSUE ON 11/10/2016 WHILE STILL UNDER 60-DAY/2500MI WARRANTY. PICKED UP VENICLE AND TOLD BY NISSAN SERVICE DEPT THAT "COULDNT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND THAT IS JUST HOW THE CVT WORKS". ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A REPROGRAMMING SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED BY NISSAN ON DEC 6 2016 REGARDING CVT TRANSMISSION. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. ON MAY 12, 2017 77,800 TRANSMISSION FAILS COMPLETELY WHILE IN MOTION ON A RURAL STATE ROAD AT 40MPH, SAME SYMPTOMS AS 11/10/2016 COMPLAINT WITH NO CEL OR WARNING LIGHTS ON INTERIOR DASH 165 MILES FROM HOME. CALL DEALER AND ASK THEM WHAT THEY PLAN TO DO AND TOLD "THAT IS ON YOUR DIME SINCE YOU DID NOT PURCHASE EXTENDED WARRANTY." CALL CLOSEST NISSAN DEALER SERVICE DEPT AND TOLD THEY CANNOT EVEN DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM FOR 10 BUSINESS DAYS SO CAR IS TOWED TO GARAGE OF CONTRACTOR ASSIGNED BY NISSAN SECURITY PLUS PROTECTION PLAN J&J AUTO. J&J AUTO DIAGNOSES VEHICLE AS HAVING TOTAL VALVE BODY FAILURE USING COMPUTER CODES FROM VEHICLE AND REAFFIRMING DIAGNOSIS WITH NISSAN. I AUTHORIZE A NEW NISSAN TRANSMISSION TO BE ORDERED FOR VEHICLE. CONTACT NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TOLD THEY WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR COSTS OF TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AND "YOU NEED TO JUST LEAVE THE CAR AT A NISSAN SERVICE DEPT AND WE WILL LOOK INTO IT." REFUSE TO INTERVENE WITH SELLING DEALERSHIP OR MAKE A REFERRAL AND APPOINTMENT AT A DEALER SERVICE LOCATION TO HAVE CAR REPAIRED IN A TIMELY FASHION. THIS IS MONDAY MAY 14. TRANSMISSION IS REMOVED AND REPLACED AT J&J AUTO. PICK CAR UP ON MAY 26, 2016 FOLLOWING REPROGRAMMING AND FLASHING OF NEW TRANSMISSION AT NISSAN DEALER IN KEENE, NH.

AFTER TAKING IN MY ALTIMA 2014 SV FOR A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG SENSORS, THE ISSUE DID NOT GO AWAY. THE ISSUE IS THAT THERE IS THAT ABOUT HALF THE TIMES A PASSENGER SITS NEXT TO THE DRIVER SEAT, THE AIRBAG SYSTEM DOES NOT DETECT THEM. I AM HAVING TO RESTART THE CAR FOR SECURITY PURPOSES IN CASE SOMETHING ENDS UP HAPPENING. I AM ALSO HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY AC SYSTEM. I REPLACED THE COMPRESSOR A YEAR AGO AND IT SEEMS TO BE FAILING AGAIN. AS A SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER I CAN SAFELY SAY THAT THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE WITH THEIR SOFTWARE. I HOPE THEY CAN FIX THIS SOON. THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).?*JB

PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR FAILS TO GO OFF WHEN A PASSENGER IS SITTING. NISSAN REFUSES TO ACCEPT THIS AS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL. THERE IS NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED YET BUT IT SHOULD BE REPORTED TO HENCE THIS COMPLAINT.

VEHICLE IS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA 4 CYLINDER MOTOR. IT RECENTLY HAD THE TRANSMISSION RECALL, DISGUISED AS A "CAMPAIGN" PERFORMED. IT WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE. SINCE THEN, THE CAR UPSHIFTS WHILE DECELERATING, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STUMBLE & ALMOST STALL. IT IS SIMILAR TO THE TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKING UP & AFFECTING THE DRIVETRAIN. IF THE ENGINE STALLED, DRIVER WOULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE & MIGHT CRASH THE CAR. THE CAR IS IN MOTION WHEN IT HAPPENS ON A ROAD WHERE SPEEDS ARE ABOUT 50 MPH, WHICH IS ABOUT THE SPEED WE WERE DRIVING WHEN IT HAPPENED. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT OR IN MILD TURNS.

MY CVT TRANSMISSION IS HAVING MAJOR ISSUES AT THIS TIME. MY VEHICLE IS AT 84,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING HOME THROUGH TRAFFIC, ONCE I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T GO, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT TOOK OFF FAST. AFTER CONTINUING TO DRIVE IT STARTED REVVING VERY LOUD UNTIL I STOPPED AND CUT IT OFF.

THE HOOD FLEW OPEN WHILE TRAVELING ON A STATE NUMBERED ROUTE APPROXIMATELY 35-40 MPH. WE WERE BLESSED THAT IT DIDN'T CAUSE A WRECK WITH INJURIES. THIS IS COMMON FROM WHAT I HAVE DISCOVERED, YET NO REMEDY. I HATE THIS FACT BECAUSE IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE MANUFACTURER IS SIMPLY WAITING FOR ALL WHO OWN THIS VEHICLE TO PHASE OUT, SELL, AND MOVE ON. WE WILL DO THIS, TRADE TOWARDS ANOTHER MAKE FOREVER. NO NISSANS NO MORE NEVER. THANKS FOR NOTHING NISSAN.

TAKATA RECALL WHILE STOPPED ON A BUSY STREET WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN, I WAS REAR-ENDED BY A LARGE SUV. MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND I SUFFERED SEVERE PAIN TO MY HEAD, NECK, SHOULDERS AND BACK. MY ALTIMA WAS LATER DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS AS A RESULT OF THE ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE WITH A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER, THE AIR BAG SENSOR ILLUMINATED INDICATING THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WAS DEACTIVATED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,533.

MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA'S HEADLIGHTS HAVE BECOME VERY DIM THE PAST COUPLE YEARS. I AM AWARE THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR NISSAN HEADLIGHTS AS WELL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. I CAN BARELY SEE UNLESS MY HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. THIS PROBLEM HAS ALSO BEEN DANGEROUS IN THE RAIN AND I'VE ALMOST GOTTEN IN ACCIDENTS. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THE HEADLIGHTS. I KNOW OTHER PEOPLE WITH AN ALTIMA BETWEEN 2013-2015 WHO HAVE GOTTEN IN ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE VERY DIM HEADLIGHTS. MY HUSBAND HAS A JEEP AND HIS HEADLIGHTS ARE NOTICEABLY BETTER. NISSAN CANNOT DAY THEIR VEHICLE IS SAFE IF THIS IS HAPPENING. IT'S SIMPLY NOT TRUE.

MY CAR HAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHERE IT JUDDERS, SHAKES, VIBRATES, AND AT TIMES CUTS OFF. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH MULTIPLE VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGNS. NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO HONOR THE FREE SERVICE CAMPAIGNS AND JUST WANTS ME TO PAY $4000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS NEW OF A CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE THESE ISSUES. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS DANGEROUS, IT HAS TURNED OFF WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE

2014 NISSAN ALTIMA S, 74,000 MILES. I SHIFTED THE CAR FROM PARK TO REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF PARKING SPACE, THE CAR SHUDDERED AND DIED. I AM VERY FORTUNATE THAT I WASN'T HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC AS THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD MY DAUGHTER STEER THE CAR WHILE I PUSHED IT OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. I TRIED SEVERAL MORE TIMES TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR, IT WOULD RUN FOR A FEW SECONDS AND DIE. THERE WERE NO PREVIOUS PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS AND NO ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER. IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH "TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE/ NEED TO REPLACE CVT UNIT/ FOUND NO DTC'S STORED/FOUND NOT TRANNY LEAKS/ PRINTED OFF TRANNY "A" AND "B" COUNTS JUST IN CASE" I HAVE READ OTHER REPORTS OF THESE ALTIMA'S COMPLETELY FAILING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF NISSAN'S DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. MY FAMILY WAS LUCKY. THE SITUATION COULD HAVE ENDED VERY BADLY IF THIS DEFECTIVE CAR HAD DIED IN TRAFFIC, CAUSING ME OR AN INNOCENT SERIOUS HARM. NOW, MY FAMILY IS FACING AN ALMOST $5000 DOLLAR REPAIR ON A THREE YEAR OLD CAR THAT I DON'T TRUST ANYMORE.

NISSAN HAS A RECALL ON THE CVT ON THE 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA, THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR SOME, BUT NOT ALL. I'VE EXPERIENCED MY VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND VERY STRONG JERKING, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TISCHER NISSAN IN LAUREL AND THE JERKING AND SHUTTING STOPPED AFTER THEY RESET THE CVT PER THE RECALL. HOWEVER, IT HAS STARTED AGAIN AND THEY'RE NOW STATING I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHARGES. THEY KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS PART, YET THEY WON'T BE ACCOUNTABLE. IT IS DANGEROUS AND VERY EXPENSIVE AND IT SHOULD BE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK AGGRESSIVELY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT SHE HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL SPARKLED AND THE OIL WAS CHANGED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INSIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION WAS GRINDING AND WOULD BREAK AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE IN GOOD FAITH HOWEVER, THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WOULD NEED TO PAY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS TOWARDS THE BUY BACK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

ON 14 MARCH 2017, MY TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 50 MILES ON THE FREEWAY. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015 WITH ABOUT 30, 000 MILES ON IT. FROM DAY ONE, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AT VARIOUS TIMES BUT THE MECHANICS STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG AND NO WARMING WAS EVER ABLE TO BE FOUND. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE HALT THROWING ME FORWARD. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT TO SAFETY AND GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALER MATT BOWERS NISSAN LOCATED AT 13050 INTERSTATE 10 SERVICE RD. NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA 70128. THE CONTACT NUMBER IS (504)245-5900. PRIOR TO ARRIVING, I LEARNED THE VEHICLE HAD A RECALL DEALING WITH THE TRANSMISSION BUT NOT SPECIFICALLY WITH IT STALLING AND GOING OUT. ACCORDING TO ONLINE AND THE DEALER, NISSAN RECALLED WHATS CALLED A CVT WHICH RESETS THE TRANSMISSION. EVERY LAST ONE OF THE SERVICE MEN AUTOMATICALLY KNEW THE ISSUE WHEN I TOLD THEM IT STOOPED ON THE FREEWAY. ONE GENTLEMAN EVEN STATED HE WOULDN'T EVEN PURCHASE ONE FOR HIS DAUGHTER OR HIS WIFE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ASSUMING NISSAN NAME WAS STILL GOOD. THERE ARE REPORTS OF TRANSMISSION GOING OUT WITH 10, AND 30 THOUSAND MILES. MY HOOD ALSO POOPED OPEN WHILE ON THE FREE AND CRACKED MY WINDSHIED A FEW WEEKS AGO. I LEARNED TODAY THERE IS A RECALL ON THE HOOD. THE BACK DOOR CAME OPEN WHILE MY GRANDKIDS WERE IN THE BACK. IT TOOK ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO GET THE REAR DOOR TO CLOSE. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN TOYOTA BY KEEPING THIS INFORMATION FROM THE PUBLIC. MY VEHICLE HAS 127512 MILES AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I PUT ALMOST 400 K ON MY IMPALA AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL GOOD. PLEASE MAKE NISSAN PAY AND RECALL THIS TRANSMISSION. OFTEN TIMES CONSUMERS FAIL TO REPORT ISSUES WHICH CAUSE GREAT HARM TO OTHERS. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS IS IN YOUR DATA REGARDING THIS? PLEASE HELP ME. SINGLE MOTHER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE TRUNK OF THE VEHICLE OPENED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRUNK LOCKED ON ITS OWN ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, AND COULD NOT BE OPENED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MASSAPEQUA NISSAN IN AMITYVILLE, NEW YORK, BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 248-072-49. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 28,000. UPDATED 11/06/17*LJ UPDATED 7/16/18*JB

FIRST TIME THIS HAPPEN I WAS AT A LIGHT AND THE CAR JUST CUT OFF. STARTED BACK UP PUT IN DRIVE STALLS OUT WHEN IN DRIVE. TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THE NEXT DAY IT'S THE TRANSMISSION IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AT THIS TIME THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR TWO WEEKS TELLING ME THEY WAITING ON A APPROVAL FROM NISSAN TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. FINALLY I GET A CALL WITHIN THAT LAST WEEK THE CAR IS READY WHEN I GET UP TO NISSAN THEY TELL ME THAT THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED AND THAT THEY DROVE THE CAR TO MAKE SURE THAT IT DIDN'T STALL OUT AGAIN AT THIS TIME THE CAR HAD AT THIS TIME MY CAR HAS 53,000 MILES WHEN ALL THIS HAPPENED NOW MY 60000 MILE WARRANTY IS UP I HAVE 63,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT STALLED OUT AT ME AT WORK. THE CAR STARTS UP FINE BUT AS SOON AS YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE IT MAKES A WHINING NOISE AND RUMBLING NOISE AND FINALLY GET A CUT OFF ALSO THE CAR WHEN IT DON'T STALL IT DON'T GO IN REVERSE OR DON'T DRIVE FORWARD.

WE PURCHASED A NISSAN ALTIMA SV, THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN SO DIM THAT AT NIGHT, IN RAIN, SNOW ETC. THEY PROVIDE NO ADEQUATE LIGHT TO LIGHT THE ROADWAY IN FRONT OF THE CAR. WE HAVE TO RESORT TO TURNING ON OUR HIGH BEAM ALMOST CONTINUOUSLY TO SEE THE ROAD AND OBSTACLES. WHAT WE HAVE FOUND OUT IS THAT IT IS A DEFECT IN MATERIALS AND IT WILL COST ME APPROXIMATELY $1000 TO FIX, WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD. AT THIS TIME NISSAN IS SILENT ON THE ISSUE. I FEEL LIKE THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY AND OTHERS ON THE ROADS ARE ENDANGERED BY THESE DEFECTIVE LIGHTS THAT NISSAN REFUSES TO ADDRESS. I HAVE HAD THE BULBS CHANGED AND IT DOES NOT IMPROVE THE HEAD LIGHT QUALITY.

AT SLOW SPEEDS, THERE IS A WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE CAR. DEALER SAID IT IS NORMAL AS IT IS A NEW ELECTRIC STEERING PUMP AND NOT THE OLD BELT SYSTEM. THE PROBLEM IS CONTINUOUS AND HAS NOT STOPPED.

TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED ON VEHICLE AT 63000 MILES. THE CAR BEGAN JERKING AND STUTTERING WHEN IN MOTION AND ALSO WOULD NOT RESPOND TO GEAR CHANGE WHEN MOV8NG OUT OF PARK. IT WOULD JUST SIT FOR MINUTES BEFORE MOVING SLOWLY OR JUMPING VIOLENTLY WHEN SWITCHING GEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND STALLED SEVERAL MORE TIMES AS THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.
