2014 Nissan Altima Complaint Log

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA MY WIFE HAD PULLED INTO OUR DRIVEWAY AND "PUSHED" THE STOP ENGINE BUTTON WHILE THE SHIFT LEVER WAS IN DRIVE AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS OUT INTO THE STREET INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WE WERE LUCKY IT DIDN'T CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT! THIS CARS GEAR SHIFT "DOES NOT" HAVE TO BE IN PARK IN ORDER TO "PUSH" THE BUTTON THAT STOPS THE ENGINE IT CAN BE IN DRIVE AND THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF AND THE CAR WILL START ROLLING IF IT IS ON A HILL!. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE WITH-OUT THE ENGINE RUNNING YOU LOSE ALL YOUR POWER STEERING AND BRAKES! IF THIS HAPPENED ON A HILL OR STEEP MOUNTAIN GRADE THE CAR COULD ROLL OVER A CLIFF OR OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC! I CALLED NISSAN ABOUT THIS MALFUNCTION MANY TIMES AND EACH TIME I WAS TOLD "THE CAR IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED" PLEASE HAVE THEM CORRECT THIS PROBLEM ASAP BEFORE IT CAUSES AN ACCIDENT AND SOMEONE IS KILLED!

"PASSENGER AIR BAGS OFF" LIGHT IS "ON" WHILE DRIVING, AT ANY SPEED, WITH AN ADULT IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS LESS THAT A WEEK OLD. IT CONTINUES TO OCCUR ABOUT ONCE A MONTH. I HAVE HAD THE CAR AT THE DEALER MANY TIMES. THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE DUPLICATED AT THE DEALER, THEREFORE NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. ON JUNE 15, 2016 THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER IN RESPONSE TO RECALL #16V244000. NO HELP! THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED TWICE SINCE THEN. THE PROBLEM: ALWAYS OCCURS DURING AN ENGINE START. NEVER WHILE DRIVING. IT SEEMS TO BE PART OF THE INITIALIZATION PROCESS. MAY CORRECT ITSELF AT ANY TIME. IT MAY LAST FOR A HALF A MILE OR 50 MILES. CANNOT BE CORRECTED BY THE PASSENGER STANDING OR BOUNCING CAN ALWAYS BE CORRECTED BY PULLING OFF THE ROAD AND STOPPING THEN RESTARTING THE ENGINE. I HAVE A LOTS OF CELL PHONE PHOTOS SHOWING VEHICLE SPEED, "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" INDICATION AND AN ADULT PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THESE PHOTOS ARE DATED.

THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME SUDDENLY STOPPED AND WHEN I APPLIED HARD PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES THEY DID NOT REACT QUICKLY, CAUSING THE CAR TO CONTINUE ROLLING AND HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED - THE FIRST TIME BEING IN EARLY SEPTEMBER. BOTH TIMES THE CAR WAS EITHER STATIONARY OR BARELY MOVING AND A HARD BRAKE DIDN'T RESPOND LIKE IT SHOULD. THIS IS THIRD NISSAN I HAVE HAD (07 SENTRA, 99 ALTIMA), AND I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM AND AM FAMILIAR WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. *TR

EXAMPLE 1. WHILE DRIVING IN MY TOWN HOME COMMUNITY AND SLIGHTLY TURNING RIGHT WHILE GOING UP A SLIGHTLY INCLINED ROAD THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND IT SEEMS THE TRANSMISSION IS LOCKING UP. GOES AWAY EITHER BY REMOVING ALL PRESSURE ON ACCELERATOR OR IF EXCESSIVE ACCELERATOR PRESSURE IS APPLIED. THE TYPE OF ACCELERATOR PRESSURE NEEDED TO STOP THE EXCESSIVE SHAKING WOULD BRING THE VEHICLE TO A SPEED THAT IS UNSAFE RELATIVE TO OBSERVED SPEEDS LIMITS IN COMMUNITY. EXAMPLE 2. THESE EXHIBITED SYMPTOMS HAVE ALSO OCCURRED WITH AN INCREASING FREQUENCY WHILE DRIVING ON CITY ROADS IN LIGHT TO MODERATE TRAFFIC: WHEN YOU ARE COASTING UP TO SLOWER MOVING TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF YOU AND THEN NEED TO ACCELERATE AS THAT TRAFFIC INCREASES SPEED, THE CAR WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THIS OCCURS MOSTLY AT SPEEDS UNDER 30 -35 MPH BUT HAS BEEN FELT AT SPEEDS AS HIGH AS 55 MPH. IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE ENTIRE DRIVE TRAIN OF THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO FALL OUT OF THE CAR. VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 1200 MILES ON ODOMETER AND SYMPTOMS HAVE BEEN INCREASINGLY NOTICEABLE AND FREQUENT SINCE 605 MILES ON ODOMETER. SEPARATE ISSUE: NAVIGATION / AUDIO SYSTEM HAS FROZEN SCREEN UPON START UP AND BECOMES UN RESPONSIVE. NO ABILITY TO CHANGE PREVIOUS VOLUME LEVEL OF RADIO WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN LEFT AT HIGH VOLUME LEVEL DURING PREVIOUS DRIVE. INPUT IS NOT ACCEPTED ON HEAD UNIT OR STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS. NAVIGATION WILL NOT INITIATE. CAR MUST BE RESTARTED FOR SYSTEM TO REBOOT AND THIS MAY REMEDY THE PROBLEM FOR ONE DRIVE CYCLE OR MORE. HAS OCCURRED 5 OR MORE TIMES IN FIRST MONTH OF OWNERSHIP. SHOULD A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE IN THE DRIVE TRAIN OCCUR, I FEEL THAT I AM AT RISK OF SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. ADDITIONALLY I AM CONCERNED THAT RESALE VALUE OF VEHICLE WILL BE DIMINISHED DUE TO DAMAGE CAUSED BY INHERENT DESIGN FLAW IN POWER TRAIN AND IN-CAR ELECTRONICS. *TR

VEHICLE SOLD AND WARRANTED TO FIRST LESSEE BY AUTHORIZED DEALER NOT SUBJECT TO RECALL. UPON INSPECTION, POSSIBLE PASSENGER WARNING LIGHT DEFECTS OBSERVED. LESSEE DEMANDED CANCELLATION OF TRANSACTION. *JS

PURCHASED NEW 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA SL 3.5L AT APPROXIMATELY 2200 MILES WHEN ACCELRATING AT A STOP LIGHT THE VEHICLE JERKED (AS IF IT COULD NOT CHANGE GEARS), HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY AT FIRST. TOOK VEHICLE TO REPAIR SHOP AT 2 DEALERS IN 2 STATES WHO COULD NOT CAPTURE INFORMATION AT THAT TIME. BY 12000 MILES WHILE RETURNING FROM VACATION (1/4/2015) THE VEHICLE WAS UNDRIVEABLE. TOOK TO LOCAL DEALER AND NEEDED A COMPLETEE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. AT THIS TIME, VEHICLE WAS JERKING, MISSING GEARS, CHANGING GEARS INDEPENDENTLY, TRYING TO GO IN TO A LOWER GEAR WHILE BREAKED AT A STOP LIGHT AND ENGINE WOULD REV TO ACCELRATE, VEHICLE SHOOK, AND WAS LITERALLY DETERIORATING EACH MILE. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, AT APPROXIMATELY 14500 MILES, THE SAME VEHICLE SYMPTOMS HAVE BEGUN. TOOK TO DEALER WHILE TRAVELING, THEY WERE ABLE TO CAPTURE MINIMAL DATA BECAUSE AS THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK AND SHAKE, THEIR BATTERY DIED IN THE LAP TOP. HOWEVER, SOME DATA WAS RECORDED. ADVISED TO DRIVE HOME AND FILE COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN MOTORS NORTH AMERICA (WHICH I HAVE DONE,) VEHICLE WILL BE TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALER FOR CONTINUAL STUDY AND NEW TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. WAS ADVISED BY REPAIR MANAGER, THAT TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOW BEING KNOWN TO SEIZE WHILE BEING DROVE. I HAVE REQUESTED NISSAN PURCHASE MY VEHICLE BACK, PAY OFF MY LOAN AND REFUND ANY TRADE IN VALUES AND PAYMENTS MADE ON NMAC LOAN BECAUSE I REFUSE TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION EVERY 2000 MILES. AT THIS TIME VEHICLE IS SHIFTING SPURATICALLY AT ANY MILEAGE. MORE AT LOWER SPEEDS BUT ALSO AT 70MPH ON HIGHWAYS.

START BUT WHEN SET TO REVERSE OR DRIVE ENGINE DIE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN NEW YORK, I SUDDENLY HEARD A POP, AND REALIZED THAT THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. THE CRACK IS ABOUT 10 INCHES LONG, AND STARTS AT THE VERY EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD, GOING TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OF IT. THERE WAS NO IMPACT, NO GRAVEL, NO ROCKS HIT THE WINDSHIELD. THERE ARE NO CHIPS, AND NO PLACE OF IMPACT, THE CRACK APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE. CALLED THE DEALER, THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR THE WINDSHIELD UNDER WARRANTY, AND ADVISED ME TO CALL THE INSURANCE COMPANY. *TR

RADIO/NAVIGATION REBOOTS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WHOLE SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN--NO RADIO. SOMETIMES WHEN I START THE CAR, THE RADIO BUTTONS ARE DIM/GRAYED OUT AND THE RADIO DOESN'T PLAY.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT IF YOU APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, IT DOES NOT CUT OUT THE CRUISE CONTROL. I HAVE NOTICED THIS ON TRIPS UP AND DOWN I-95 IN A CAR WITH A HAND EMERGENCY BRAKE. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS KNEE OPERATIONS AND ON LONG TRIPS I TRIED TO JUST PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON WHILE HOLDING THE BUTTON IN. I DID THIS BECAUSE OF TROUBLE WITH MY KNEES. I NOTICED THAT ALTHOUGH THE CAR DID SLOW ENOUGH FOR WHAT I NEEDED THE CRUISE WAS STILL ON WHEN I TOOK THE BRAKE OFF. I REALIZED THAT IF SOMEONE TRIED THIS IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION THAT THE ENGINE WOULD TRY TO ACCEL AND ALL SORTS OF BAD THINGS WOULD HAPPEN. I TRIED THIS IN EVERY MAKE CAR THAT MY FRIENDS AND I HAVE. NO ONE CUTS OUT THE CRUISE CONTROL UNDER THIS SITUATION. I KNOW THE CARS SYSTEMS KNOW THE BRAKE IS BEING APPLIED BECAUSE THE LIKE COMES UP ON THE DASH. IT WOULD BE 1 SIMPLE PROGRAM CHANGE TO INCLUDE THE CUT OUT. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN IMPORTANT ISSUE. PLEASE TAKE STEPS TO REMEDY THIS. I HAVE EMAILED THIS TO NUMEROUS AUTO MAKERS. THANK YOU, I HAVE A CONFIRMATION (ODI)#10585659 NHTSA AND CASE#[XXX] NHTSA WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO GET THIS LOOKED AT? I REGISTERED A COMPLAINT ON 4-1-2014 AND SENT A LETTER TO THEM. I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VEHICLE WANDERS AND DOES NOT KEEP IN A STRAIGHT LINE. IT IS NOT STABLE . THERE IS LOT OF WIND NOISE COMING INSIDE AND THERE IS ALWAYS A SLOSHING SOUND AND BELIEVE IT IS THE FUEL. NOT SAFE AS THE FUEL ALWAYS BANGS AROUND THE WALLS. *TR

I WAS AT AN INTERSECTION PREPARING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. WHEN THERE WAS AN OPENING IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL TO PROCEED FORWARD AND AS I ENTERED THE INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DROPPED THE RPM'S AND ACTED AS IF IN "LIMP MODE". I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR TO TRY TO GET OUT OF THE INTERSECTION BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND AND ONLY "CRAWLED" THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE INTERSECTION DUE TO THIS ISSUE ONCOMING TRAFFIC HAD TO SLAM ON BRAKES AND ALMOST HIT ME. ONCE I EXITED THE INTERSECTION I LOOKED FOR A PLACE TO PULL OVER AND STOPPED ABOUT A 500 YARDS FROM THE INTERSECTION. I THEN NOTICED THE VDC LIGHT WAS ON. I PRESSED THE VDC BUTTON AND IT LITE UP ANOTHER INDICATOR ON THE DASH SHOWING OFF. I PRESSED IT AGAIN AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT HOWEVER THE OTHER VDC LIGHT ON THE DASH STAYED ILLUMINATED. I THEN TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND WAITED A COUPLE MINUTES AND WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE THE OTHER VDC LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE VEHICLE THEN DROVE NORMAL. I HAVE SINCE NOTICED A SOUND LIKE THE TRANSMISSION SPINNING WHENI PRESS THE ACCELERATOR. I WAS SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SO I WENT HOME. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND HAD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BUT WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO "FAULT CODES" AND THEY DID NOT KNOW WHY MY NEW CAR WHEN INTO "LIMP MODE" AND THE VDC LIGHT CAME ON. THIS CAR IS NEW AND NOW I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT! THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE SAID IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN BRING IT BACK. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS PROBLEMS ON OTHER INTERNET CAR FORUMS REGARDING OTHER NISSAN ALTIMA'S WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. THERE IS EVEN ANOTHER ONE ON THIS SITE! THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED ASAP. I COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR NO MATTER WHAT I DID. *TR

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT ON DRIVER'S SIDE IS VIRTUALLY NONEXISTENT. VERY HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT.

THIS CAR MAKES A LOT OF NOISES WHEN STOPPING AT MOST SPEEDS! YOU CAN HEAR GAS MOVING AROUND INSIDE OF THE CAR LIKE YOUR AT THE BEACH SOUNDS LIKE WAVES HITTING UP AGAINST A BOAT DOCKED! HAS BEEN TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS AND NO ONE WILL OWN UP TO IT INCLUDING NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICES! I'M WORRIED FOR MY SAFETY AND OTHERS! *TR

RANDOMLY THIS OCCURS, WHEN SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THE AIR BAG SIGN FOR THAT SEAT WILL SAY OFF. ON OUR LAST TRIP WE LEFT A STOP AND ENTERED THE HIGHWAY BUT THE LIGHT STAYED ON INDICATING THE AIR BAG WAS NOT ACTIVATED. WE HAD TO DRIVE LIKE THAT UNTIL WE COULD SAFELY STOP. WE THEN TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN, AND THIS TIME THE AIR BAG OFF LIGHT DID NOT STAY LIT. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER 6 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR IS THERE THE ONLY THING THEY SAY THEY CAN DO IS A ZERO POINT RESET ON OCS SYSTEM. THAT HAS NOT STOPPED THIS ISSUE FROM REOCCURRING. WE HAVE PHONED BERGSTROM OF OSHKOSH 5 DAYS THIS WEEK, THEY DO NOT RETURN OUR CALL. THE LAST DIAGNOSIS STATES ELECTRICAL, HOWEVER, TONY THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD US THE LAST TIME WE WERE THEIR THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO THROW MONEY AT THE CAR IT COULD BE A SENSOR, ELECTRICAL, THE AIR BAG SYSTEM OR THE SEAT. BECAUSE THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHEN WE ARE THERE THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO FIX, SO CHOOSE TO DO NOTHING. THE RECALL ON THE CAR WAS DONE 5/26/16. HOWEVER WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE SERVICE ADVISOR HAS REPEATEDLY SAID IT IS BECAUSE THE PASSENGER IS NOT SITTING ON THE SEAT CORRECTLY, HOWEVER THE LAST TIME IT OCCURRED THE PASSENGER WAS SITTING IN THE SAME POSITION WHEN THE AIR BAG WAS OFF AS SHE WAS WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. OUR WARRANTY WILL RUN OUT SOON. WE PHONED NISSAN AND THEY WILL ONLY GO BY WHAT THERE AUTO TECH AT BERGSTROM TELLS THEM, SO NO HELP THERE EITHER. I HAVE COPIES OF INVOICES FROM WHEN THE CAR WAS TAKEN IN FOR THIS PROBLEM.

WE WERE ONE OF THE 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA'S THAT WAS EXPERIENCING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG ISSUE: EVEN THOUGH A FULL-SIZED ADULT WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT, THE "AIR-BAG OFF" WOULD BE ILLUMINATED. IT WAS BROUGHT IN UNDER THE RECALL IN ROUGHLY OCTOBER OF 2014. AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK, WE IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT WAS STILL COMING ON WHEN A PASSENGER WAS PRESENT. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT COULD BE DUE TO HUMIDITY, AS WE LIVE IN FLORIDA. BUT EVEN DURING THE WINTER MONTHS IT STILL READ THAT THE AIR BAG WAS OFF. THIS IS CONCERNING IF IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSAN IS NOT PROPERLY FIXING THE ISSUE. I HEARD RECENTLY ON THE NEWS THAT MORE COMPLAINTS ARE COMING FORWARD AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE MY VOICE WAS HEARD. THANK YOU. *TR

2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED INDICATING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS DEACTIVATED, DESPITE HIS 100 POUND WIFE WAS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM. HOWEVER, FOUR MONTHS LATER, THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE OCS AGAIN. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR A THIRD TIME, IN DECEMBER 2014. THE DEALER CLAIMED THEY TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH A PASSENGER AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *JB

TL- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALITMA. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN HER GAS TANK IS FILLED OR HALF WAY FULL, THE FUEL IN THE TANK MAKES LOUD SLUCHING NOISES. THE CONTACT TOOK HER VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE DEALER RECOMMENDED THE CONTACT TO FILE A CLAIM WITH THE MANUFACTURER BECAUSE THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THIS WAS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE AND NOT A DEFECT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8. AZ

POWER STEERING PUMP BEGAN MAKING VERY LOUD HIGH PITCH WHINING NOISE AFTER ONLY OWNING THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE MANAGER LOOKED AT IT AND CLAIMED THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMPS ARE ELECTRONIC NOW AND THEY DO MAKE A LITTLE NOISE BUT NOTHING LIKE THE NOISE MY CAR WAS MAKING. HE CONTACTED NISSAN THE VERY NEXT MORNING AND HAD A REP OUT TO LOOK AT IT. CURRENTLY MY BRAND NEW CAR IS SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP NOT DRIVABLE BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS ON BACK ORDER. APPARENTLY NISSAN HAS 13 OF THESE PUMPS ON BACK ORDER SO MY CAR IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. NISSAN NEEDS TO LOOK INTO A FIX AND RECALL THESE PUMPS BEFORE IT DOES BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

PROBLEM IS, MY GIRLFRIEND WEIGHT 110LB. LOT OF TIME WHEN SHE SITS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, THE AIRBAG INDICATOR TELLS US THE AIRBAG IS OFF. THIS PROBLEMS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN I PICKED UP MY CAR ON THE STREET NEXT TO CURBS. DESIGN OF ROADS IS, THE CENTER IS HIGHER THAN THE SIDES. BECAUSE OF THAT, WHEN I PARK ON THE RIGHT OF THE STREETS NEXT TO THE CURBS, THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR IS HIGHER THAN THE RIGHT SIDE. SO WHEN MY GIRLFRIEND SITS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, HER WEIGHT DOESNT GOES TO THE CENTER OF THE SEAT. BUT IF THE CAR IS ON SURFACE LEVEL SUCH AS IN A GARAGE, AND SHE GET IN THE CAR, WE HAVE NO AIRBAG ISSUE. *TR

CAN'T SEE WITH HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAM. I HAVE REPLACED BULBS MULTIPLE TIMES BUT DOESN'T HELP. WILL BE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX CORRECTLY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I CAN BARELY SEE IN FRONT OF ME ON ANY ROAD AT NIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED WHILE IDLING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000. *TT VEHICLE PURCHASE DATE SHOULD BE ON OR BEFORE INCIDENT DATE *JB

I HAVE VERY DIM HEADLIGHTS. I'VE TRIED LED'S AND THE BEST HALOGENS. I'VE CLEANED INSIDE OF THE PROJECTORS, BUT IN A DAY OR TWO, THE PROJECTORS CLOUDS UP AGAIN. CALLED NISSAN, AND THE WOULD MAYBE GIVE 300 BUCKS AGAINST 1500 TO 1800. OR I COULD DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BRIGHTS ON.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING THE CAR, WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF LIGHT CAME ON. I DROVE FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND GOT UP TO 60MPH BEFORE IT FINALLY SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE, THE ABOVE DATE IS THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED THOUGH. *TR

THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SEVERAL DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS FOR A STEERING WHEEL FINALLY ON DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO HELP BUT THEY WANT TO CHANGE THE STEERING WHEEL! I'M AT AWE! NERVOUS THAT THIS LEMON IS BECOMING A FRANKENSTEIN CAR !! NISSAN QUOTES-THE FIRST TIME YOU TRY HEATED SEATS ON A COLD MORNING, YOU'LL WONDER HOW YOU EVER DID WITHOUT! THEY QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY WARM THINGS UP FOR YOU AND YOUR PASSENGER, AND YOUR HANDS GET THE SAME LUXURIOUS TREATMENT FROM THE HEATED STEERING WHEEL. MY WIFE AND I HAD OTHER CARS WITH HEATED SEATS AND STEERING WHEEL! NISSAN HEATING STEERING WHEEL ONLY GETS COOL TO LUKE WARM! PROBLEM STILL NOT FIXED AS OF TODAY. *TR

THE WHOLE EXHAUST SYSTEM FROM THE ENGINE ALONG TO THE REAR OF THIS CARS EXHAUST TIPS IS RUSTING AWAY ALREADY! SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS SAY ITS NORMAL! *TR

AFTER SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS WOULD NOT ADDRESS A HEATED STEERING WHEEL THAT DOES NOT HEAT UP IT GETS LUKE COOL TO WARM ONLY IN SPOTS AROUND THE STEERING WHEEL! AS PER FINALLY ONE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER THE SERVICE MGR A VERY DECENT PERSON TESTED IT WITH A WIRELESS THERMOMETER TRIED VERY HARD TO GET THIS SUPPOSEDLY HEATED STEERING WHEEL TO WORK PROPERLY REPLACED IT WITH A NEW ONE BUT STILL DOES THE SAME THING! DOES NOT WORK LIKE NISSAN STATES IN BROCHURE! THIS IS UNFAIR THAT I HAVE OVER 20 PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND NISSAN WILL NOT DO THE RIGHT THING! I FEEL MY HEALTH DECLINING OVER A CAR THAT NEEDS A BABYSITTER! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NSSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD VEER TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT EVEN WHILE THE CONTACT WAS HOLDING ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STAY IN ITS LANE. A POLICE OFFICER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE CAUSE OF FAILURE WAS TORQUE STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

AIRBAG LIGHT SHOWING THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS ARE OFF INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON WHILE AN ADULT PASSENGER IS SEATED IN THE CAR AND VEHICLE IS MOVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHILE THE PASSENGER WAS IN THE FRONT SEAT AND SOMETIME THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG WAS TURNED OFF. THE DEALER REPLACED THE AIR BAG SENSOR MODULE AND THE COMPUTER WAS ALSO REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 300 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 62,096.

ON THE THIRD DAY OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE, I TOOK IT ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS VEHICLE HAS THE WORST HANDLING OF ANY CAR I HAVE EVER DRIVEN. IT DRIFTS ALL OVER THE ROAD WITH LITTLE CONTROL. IF YOU ARE IN A CROSSWIND OR BEHIND A TRUCK, THE VEHICLE DRIFTS HORRIBLY TOO. YOU MUST HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP CORRECTING TO STAY IN YOUR LANE! THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE. I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY AT HIGH SPEEDS UNLESS IT IS A BREEZY DAY, THEN IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME EVEN AT SLOWER SPEEDS. YOU CAN BE DRIVING STRAIGHT FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR DRIFTS HARD TO ONE SIDE. YOU HAVE TO CORRECT QUICKLY IN ORDER TO NOT GO INTO THE NEXT LANE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. I HAVE HAD THIS INTO MY DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THE FIRST TIME THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG. I JUST NEEDED TO GET USED TO THE WAY IT DRIVES. THE SECOND TIME, THEY ADJUSTED THE REAR ALIGNMENT AND CHANGED OUT TIRES TO MICHELIN TIRES. THIS HELPED A LITTLE BIT BUT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. NOW THE REAR END VIBRATES AND DRIFTS. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 3 MONTHS AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ON THIS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED IF SOMETHING IS NOT CORRECTED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR SURE! *TR

NO UNUSUAL SOUNDS OR CHECK ENGINE NOTICED WITH THE FOLLOWING: 1) WHILE SITTING IN CRAMPED TRAFFIC, I LET OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL TO INCH FORWARD A FEW FEET WHILE RIDING THE BRAKE. RMS DROPPED TO 500 FOR EVERY INSTANCE AND CAR BEGAN TO SHUTTER. *TR 2) COMING TO STOP LIGHTS/SIGNS. AFTER TRAVELING A DISTANCE OF ABOUT 1/8-1/4 MILE @30-40 MPH, THE DECELERATION CAUSED THE RPM TO DROP TO 500 AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUTTER AS I REACHED THE STOPPING POINT. I NOTICED THIS EVERY NOW AND THEN. I CANNOT REPLICATE, HOWEVER I WAS ABLE TO RECORD THE RPM DROP ON TWO OCCASIONS WITHIN 5 MIN OF EACH OTHER. 3) SHUTTERING THAT OCCURS AT LOW SPEEDS IS FELT AT HIGHER SPEEDS (50+).FEEL THE SHUTTERING AS IF TRANSMISSION WAS TRYING TO GET TO NEXT GEAR, BUT IT HOLDS STEADY AND VIBRATES. NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE. VERY UNCOMFORTABLE RIDE. 4) AT RANDOM PERIODS OF JUST WAITING IN THE CAR WITH IT RUNNING, WILL FEEL SURGE AS RPMS DROP FOR AN INSTANCE. TOOK VEHICLE IN BASED ON COMPLAINTS. SERVICE CENTER INITIATED THE CAR TO "RE-LEARN" IDLE. ISSUE 1, NO LONGER A PROBLEM THUS FAR. ISSUE 2, STILL AN ISSUE. ISSUE 3 STILL AN ISSUE. ISSUE 4, STILL AN ISSUE. TAKING IT BACK TO SAME DEALER AGAIN, AND ANOTHER DEALER FOR A 2ND SERVICE TEAM DIAGNOSTICS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE NAVIGATION SCREEN FAILED TO RESPOND WHILE NAVIGATING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEAD UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100. UPDATED 4/21/15*CN UPDATED 9/22/2017*CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V138000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THERE WAS A SLIGHT JERKING, AND PULLING WHEN GOING 0-20 MPH, I WOULD INFORM THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I WOULD GO IN FOR OIL CHANGES AND SERVICES, DUE TO THIS BEING INTERMITTENT THEY WOULD NOT TROUBLESHOOT, NOW AT 25000 MILES IT IS PERSISTENTLY JERKING AND PULLING.

EVERY SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IT HAS HAD LOW VISIBILITY AT NIGHT I COMPLAINED ABOUT IT TO THEM IT IS GOING TO END UP COSTING OVER 1500 TO FIX IT BUT THEY WAIT TO THE WARRANTY IS OUT TO TELL ME THIS NISSAN SHOULD HAVE DONE PUT OUT A RECALL ON THEM BUT WON'T DUE TO THE COST I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE MY CAR AT NIGHT ANY MORE MAY LET IT GO BACK THE CARS CAME OUT WITH BAD PARTS IN THEM WHEN YOU TELL THEM BOUT THINGS WRONG THEY PUSH IT OFF TILL WARRANTY RUNS OUT THAT TELLS YOU THEY ALREADY KNEW BOUT IT

FROM A STOP, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE WHEN I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR.THEN A SURGE WHEN IT DID RESPOND. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE.THE DELAY SEEMS TO BE GETTING LONGER, SOMETIMES OCCURRING. WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. *TR

HAD RANDOM PASSENGER AIRBAG REMAIN ON WHEN PASSENGER WAS SITTING IN SEAT - MET ALL WEIGHT REQUIREMENTS. THIS NEVER HAPPENED CONTINUALLY BUT WAS PROBLEMATIC ENOUGH TO BRING IN TO DEALER. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. BROUGHT IN SEVERAL TIMES, STILL NO FIX. NISSAN RECALLED THIS PROBLEM IN APRIL 2015, HAD FIX DONE TO VEHICLE. WITHIN A WEEK AIRBAG LIGHT STAYED ON WITH PASSENGER IN SEAT. THIS ISSUE CONTINUES YET TALKING WITH NISSAN THEY BELIEVE THAT SINCE THE DEALER CAN'T FIND ANY ERROR CODES SHOWING WHAT THE PROBLEM IS THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. NISSAN WILL NOT PUT THIS UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V681000 AS IT DOES NOT FIT THEIR CRITERIA. I BELIEVE ANY PASSENGER SITTING IN THAT SEAT IS NOT SAFE. VEHICLE IS RUNNING PASSENGER COMES IN AND SITS IN SEAT, PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON. PASSENGER IS 160#. IF I TURN VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART THE AIRBAG LIGHT USUALLY DOES STAY OFF. BUT NOT SURE OF THE SAFETY AT THAT POINT - IS AIRBAG REALLY ON? THIS IS CONTINUAL SINCE BUYING THE VEHICLE IN 2013, FIX IN SPRING OF 2015 DID NOT FIX OCS FOR MY VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASH INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A SEPARATED HIP. THE TWO REAR PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE BACK, SPINE AND WHIPLASH INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND SENT AN ENGINEER TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 400.

THE SUNLIGHT REFLECTS OFF OF THE BEIGE AND GLOSSY BLACK INTERIOR FINISHES AND CAUSES A MIRROR IMAGE OF THE INTERIOR SURFACES/GLARE ONTO THE FRONT AND REAR WINDSHIELDS. THE GLARE ON THE GLASS IS VERY BRIGHT AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND TRAFFIC SIGNS AS WELL AS ANY OTHER OBJECT IN THE GLARE ZONE. THE GLARE ZONE RANGES BETWEEN 20 TO 50% OF THE WINDSHIELD AREA. THIS DESIGN FAULT WAS CORRECTED IN OTHER NISSAN CARS BUT NOT IN THE ALTIMA. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND WAS ADVISED "NO CORRECTION CAN BE MADE AT THIS TIME". *TR

CAR WILL NOT STAY IN LANE AT HIGHWAY SPEED IT WANDERS BACK AND FORTH YOU HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT TO STAY IN YOUR LANE . ALMOST WENT UNDER SEMI TRUCK TRAILER .AIR BAG LIGHT ALSO COMES ON SAYING NO ONE IS IN PASSENGER SEAT WHEN MY WIFE IS SETTING THERE .BEEN TO DEALER ON RECALL 2 TIMES ON THIS ALREADY

HELLO, I HAVE TAKEN MY BRAND NEW NISSAN ALTIMA 2014 4 TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE PROBLEM NISSAN HAS BEEN HAVING. WHEN THERE IS SOMEONE OVER THE WEIGHT LIMIT SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SIDE THE AIR BAG LIGHT THAT INDICATES IF ITS ON OR OFF DOES NOT COME OFF. STATING THAT THE AIRBAG IS OFF EVEN THOUGH SOMEONE IS SITTING IN HE PASSENGER SIDE WITH THE WEIGHT REQUIREMENT. IT ALL STARTED ON 11/10/14 AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG, TOOK IT AGAIN ON 1/14/15 AND THEY SAID THEY FOUND A CODE ( B00A0-00) INDICATING THE AIRBAG WOULD TURN OFF. THEY TOLD ME THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE SENSOR AND CONTROL UNIT AND PERFORMED ZERO POINT RESET. THE PROBLEM CAME BACK AGAIN ON 2/3/15 AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND THAT IF IT HAPPENS JUST PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR UNTIL THE LIGHTS TURN OFF AND DOES NOT COME BACK ON. TOOK IT AGAIN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM IN MARCH AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT DO NOTHING EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW IT WAS NOT WORKING AS INTENDED. *TR

THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO SHAKE AND I FEEL MY GAS PEDAL VIBRATE WHEN DRIVING APPROX. 30-40 MPH AND UP. NISSAN TECHNICAL SERVICES MECHANIC SAID THAT IS NORMAL FOR NISSAN ALTIMA 2013/2014. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO REPLACED THE SEAT SENSOR AND ON ANOTHER OCCASION THE SOFTWARE WAS RESET HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000. ...UPDATED 01/07/15 *BF THE CONSUMER HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE WITH A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. UPDATED 9/28/2015*JS

REAR TAILLIGHT HOUSINGS FOG UP BADLY, SOME DEALERSHIPS DIDN'T RECOGNIZE PROBLEM THEN ONE DID WHEN I DID NOT GO BACK TO DEALERSHIP RIGHT AWAY THEY SENT THE PARTS BACK! FINALLY ANOTHER DEALERSHIP RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM BUT WHEN THEY CHANGED THEM ONE HAD A MARK INSIDE OF THE FIXTURE, PART MISSING INSIDE TRUCK AND A NEW SCRATCH MARK ON THE CAR, ALSO PUT IN INCORRECTLY! THIS CAR IS TURNING INTO A FRANKENSTEIN CAR AND EXACTLY WHAT AND HOW EVERYTHING BEING DONE TO IT TO DEVALUE THIS CAR IS HAPPENING! FACTORY SEALS ARE BEING BROKEN AND NOT BEING FIXED AT ALL IS THE OUTCOME! THE TAIL LIGHTS FOG UP MORE THAN THE LAST ONES! THIS CAR IS A LEMON! *TR

WHEN IM IN TRAFFIC AND TRY TO SPEED UP THE CAR DOESN'T CHANGE GEARS. IVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES AND THEY DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. IT HAS HAPPENED TWO TIMES WITHIN THE LAST THREE DAYS, WHICH IS MORE FREQUENTLY THAN BEFORE. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. WHEN I STOP THE CAR COMPLETELY, LETS SAY AT A RED LIGHT, THEN PRESS THE GAS IT TAKES A FEW SECONDS FOR THE CAR TO EVEN START MOVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

2014 NISSAN ALTIMA SL 2.5 MAKES ALLOT OF NOISE AND VIBRATION WHEN YOU ACCELERATE TO GET UP TO A HIGHWAY SPEED WHETHER IT IS FROM THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION IT IS VERY LOUD INSIDE THE CAR! THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS TO HAVE A LOT OF PLAY IN IT AT A DEAD STOP WITH ENGINE RUNNING BY TURNING THE WHEEL RIGHT TO LEFT! YOU ALSO HEAR CLUNKING NOISES TURNING IT RIGHT TO LEFT! THE FUEL IN THE TANK MAKES LOUD SWISHING NOISES SORT AS IF I HAVE A SMALL OCEAN IN MY FUEL TANK!

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON INDICATING A NO ACTIVATION. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AFTER RECALL REPAIR. NISSAN MOTORS VERY AWARE OF PROBLEM BUT WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. *TR
