2016 Nissan Altima Complaint Log

WHEN THE PUSH TO START IS PUSHED THE CAR COMES ON BUT IT DOESNT START IS LOSES POWER. THE CAR IS IN PARK WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

VEHICLE HESITATES TO MOVE FORWARD WHEN STEPPING ON GAS. SEEMS LIKE IT SLIPS AT HIGHWAY SPEED

STOPPED AND WHEN PULLING OUT LOST POWER AND WHILE DRIVING LOST POWER AND RPM WENT REALLY HIGH IT WAS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T SHIFT TURNED VEHICLE OFF THEN WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN A WEEK

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AROUND SAME TIME CAR BEGAN TO EXHIBIT ACCELERATION ISSUES, LIKE STALLING, SLIPPING INTO 2ND GEAR, AND ENGINE CUT OUT WHEN ACCELERATING DURING BOTH NORMAL CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. SENSORS READ BY CERTIFIED MECHANIC, AND DEALERSHIP INDICATED OXYGEN SENSOR FAILURE AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND THE O2 SENSOR. AFTER REPAIRS AND PART REPLACEMENTS, 2 WEEKS LATER ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS BEGAN TO REOCCUR. SEVERAL MECHANIC RECOMMENDED GETTING RID OF THE CAR AS THEY CAN NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUES AND DON'T WANT TO WASTE MY TIME OR MONEY. CONTACT ART'S AUTOMOTIVE IN BERKELEY CALIFORNIA

THE LOW BEAM IS ALMOST USELESS DUE TO NOT PROVIDING ENOUGH LIGHT TO DRIVE WITH THEM ON. I NEED TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS JUST TO MAKE IT SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. NOT SAFE FOR ME OR OTHER DRIVES ON THE ROAD. MUST BE A PROBLEM FOR ALL 2016 NISSAN ALTIMAS. THINKING ABOUT TRADING BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TWICE WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF USING THIS CAR. AND IT WAS ONE OF THE SEVERE TYPES OF ILLNESS THE CAR HAS, IF NOT FIXED I COULD'VE BEEN STUCK ON A REMOTE AREA WITH NO PHONE RECEPTION, WHICH WHERE I LIVE BY THE WAY. THE CAR HAD A SLOW ACCELERATION, WHEN I STOPPED ON A STOP LIGHT/SIGN. HAD THAT FIXED ON DECEMBER RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS WEEK, BUT ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AFTER 2 WEEKS OF DRIVING IT, CAR WON'T SHIFT GEARS AGAIN, SLOW ACCELERATION, PROBABLY HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH ITS TRANSMISSION ETC.

I HAVE A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH 85,000 MILES THAT IS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING SOME ISSUES. I'VE FOUND MULTIPLE PEOPLE ONLINE THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE AT TIMES WHEN PUSHING DOWN THE ACCELERATOR WILL NOT RESPOND THEN SUDDENLY TAKE OFF LIKE IT'S IN 3RD GEAR. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TOO GET STUCK IN INTERSECTIONS WITH NO POWER AND NEARLY CAUSING ACCIDENTS. NISSAN IS SAYING THERE IS NO ISSUE. HOW CAN THIS NOT BE A SAFETY RECALL?

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ABOUT 07:30AM CT. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND HEAR A VERY LOUD BANG AND HEAR GLASS. I THOUGHT SOMEONE HIT ME BUT DIDN'T FEEL ANYTHING. LOOKED IN MY MIRRORS, CARS GOING BY ME AND REALIZED I WAS NOT HIT. THEN I THOUGHT SOMEONE SHOT MY CAR. I CONTINUED TO HEAR GLASS BUT DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. VERY SHAKEN UP NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I PULLED OFF ON THE NEXT EXIT AND FOUND MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. THE GLASS FLYING OUT (HWY SPEED) CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE PAINT ON THE ROOF AND TRUNK OF MY CAR. I CALLED NISSAN DEALER WHO SUGGESTED I CALL CORPORATE. CORPORATE SAID TO BRING CAR TO DEALER. DEALER CHECKED VENTS SAID THEY WERE CLEAR. SERVICE MANAGER AS WELL AS A COUPLE SERVICE PEOPLE CAME OUT TO TALK TO ME AND TOLD ME THIS IS DEFINATELY A NISSAN DEFECT AND THE SUNROOF AND PAINT WOULD BE COVERED. AFTER A FEW DAYS WITH NO WORD I WENT TO THE DEALER (THEY DID GIVE ME A COURTESY VEHICLE). WHEN I WENT TO CHECK ON MY CAR THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE SUNROOF WAS IN. I AGAIN TOLD HIM I NEED TO KNOW IF ALL INCLUDING PAINT IS COVERED. I HAD OPENED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE BEFORE I CALLED NISSAN AND I DID NOT CLOSE THAT CLAIM UNTIL I KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. NISSAN WENT AHEAD AND PUT IN THE SUNROOF. TOLD ME AGAIN PAINT WOULD BE COVERED. TWICE THEY SAID IT WAS DONE. TWICE REFUSED BECAUSE PAINT WAS NOT TOUCHED. NISSAN DEALER THEN SAID THAT NISSAN WILL PAY $1000 TOWARDS THE $1230 SUNROOF AND WILL NOT COVER PAINT. CALLED CORPORATE BACK WHO SENT TO REGIONAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS WHO DENIED ANY CLAIM WITH MY CAR. I HAD TO PAY THE $230 AND BRING TO AUTOBODY SHOP FOR PAINT REPAIR. WITH ANOTHER DEDUCTIBLE. NO CAR NOW FOR 3 WEEKS.

2016 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS DELAYED ACCELERATION. ALSO, CAN HEAR A SIZZLE NOISE WHEN DRIVING MAKING A TURN, AS IF WIRE IS SHORTING BUT NO SMELL OF BURNING WIRES; AT THIS TIME. THIS IS WHILE DRIVING, IDLING, STREET DRIVING, AND ON HIGHWAY; WE ARE VERY CONCERNED.

HAD A WRECK AND THE AIR BAGS CAME OUT AND I GOT CUT BY IT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V315000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) AND 18V915000 (STRUCTURE, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

CAR HAS THE SAME JUDDER CODE IN THE TRANSMISSION BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD THE VIN NUMBER WAS NOT SPECIFIED AS AFFECTED. CAR JUDDERS IN SLOW AND STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND IN PARKING LOTS. THIS SEEMS TO HAVE BECOME A PROBLEM WITH THE SOFTWARE PACKAGE FOR THESE TRANSMISSIONS AND HAS AFFECTED MORE CARS THAN THE VIN NUMBERS THAT THE RECALL IS OUT FOR.

ACCELERATING ONTO THE HIGHWAY ON YESTERDAY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CANE ON AS WELL AND MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WHICH CAUSED MY CAR TO LOSE POWER. I WAS ABLE TO GET RIGHT BACK OFF THE FREEWAY AND TURN INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT STARTED WITH THE SAME LIGHTS ON. I HAD MY TRANSMISSION REBUILT AT 73,000 MILES WITH A 12,000 MILE WARRANTY ALREADY BUT I DON'T THINK THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS THE ISSUE THIS TIME. I HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO THE NISSAN OF GRAPEVINE DEALERSHIP AGAIN BECAUSE I REFUSE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH MY 3 MONTH OLD AND SIXTEEN YEAR OLD IN THE CAR

ON NOVEMBER 16 2019 I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK, WHEN I FELT MY CAR JERK WHILE I WAS DRIVING 70MPH . IT CONTINUED TO JERK ON AND OFF. I TOLD MY HUSBAND AND WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE TEST RESULTS READ CVT, WHICH IS TRANSMISSION FOR ALTIMA. AFTER RECEIVING THAT INFORMATION I WENT TO THE NISSAN WEBSITE TO CHECK FOR RECALLS. I PUT IN MY VIN NUMBER AND TWO RECALLS CAME BACK. WE THEN TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND INFORMED THEM OF THE RECALLS, AND ASKED WHY WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE RECALLS. IN A SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE RECALL IT STATES IF THE RECALL ON THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS NOT FIXED, CONTINUING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION CAN LEAD TO ACCELERATED WEAR AND DAMAGE TO THE CVT TRANSMISSION. THIS RECALL WAS POSTED DECEMBER 2016. I PURCHASED THE CAR AUGUST 2017 AND I HAVE DROVE MY CAR EVERYDAY UNTIL NOVEMBER 25, 2019. WITH NO NOTIFICATION OF A RECALL. I AM GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN NISSAN'S DEALERSHIP AND CORPORATE TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT NO CHARGE BUT THEY ARE SAYING THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE I DIDN'T PURCHASE THE VEHICLE FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP.

TL* THE CONTACT LEASES A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HOOD LATCH FAILED TO KEEP THE HOOD CLOSED. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE HOOD CONTINUED TO OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 31,930. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

PURCHASED VEHICLE LESS THAN A MONTH AGO AND I HATE IT! I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT SCARY ENCOUNTERS WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT ALIGNED AND THE CAR WOULD DRIFT TO OTHER LANES. GOD FORBID THE RAIN OR SNOW MAKES A VISIT, THE CAR SLIDES UNCONTROLLABLY. THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS STIFF AS WELL. I HAD A WHEEL ALIGNMENT DONE AND THE NOTICE IT'S A LITTLE BETTER BUT THE ISSUE IS STILL THERE LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES. CLUNKING NOISE FROM REAR WHILE DRIVING. TOOK CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES UNTIL THEY FINALLY DECIDED TO LOOK FURTHER. THEY REPLACED LEFT REAR SHOCK; HOWEVER, THE NOISE IS STILL THERE. IT SEEMS AS THE TIRES AND STEERING WHEEL ARE OFF. ALSO, WHEN TURNING RIGHT I CAN HEAR A CLUNKING NOISE. I PUT CAR IN 'PARK' TURNED STEERING WHEEL LEFT AND THERE WAS NO NOISE. TURNED TO RIGHT AND THE NOISE PRESENT.

STARTED VEHICLE THIS MORNING AND PUT IN REVERSE AND PRESSED THE PEDAL TO BACK OUT AND HAD A DELAYED REACTION AND THE RPM'S JUST INCREASED. THE CAR DID NOT MOVE FOR APPROXIMATELY FOUR TO FIVE SECONDS AND FINALLY BACKED OUT. PLACED THE CAR IN DRIVE AND DROVE TOWARD A STOP SIGN APPROXIMATELY 100 YARDS AWAY AND IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS LOSING POWER AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND AGAIN THE RPM'S INCREASED BUT SEEMED LIKE IT WOULD NOT MOVE. DROVE VEHICLE BACK HOME AND WITH SAME ISSUES AND PARKED FOR ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES. TRIED TO DUPLICATE BUT DROVE JUST FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE WHILE AT A RED LIGHT ABOUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. TRIED ACCELERATING AND WOULD BARELY ACCELERATE LIKE IT HAD NO POWER. PLACED IN PARK, CUT THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I HIT THE ACCELERATOR AND IT DARTED OFF. LUCKILY, THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENTS BUT HAVE CONCERNS IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE ON A HIGHWAY. THIS ALTIMA ON HAS OVER 53K MILES AND HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS IS HAPPENING BECAUSE I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT HAVE READ SEVERAL STATEMENTS ON THE INTERNET FROM OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. NOT SURE WHY NISSAN HAS NOT PLACED A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT IS VERY UNSAFE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE CAR WILL CONTINUOUSLY SHAKE, SURGE, VIBRATE, AND FAIL WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED WITH MY KIDS IN THE VEHICLE, IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I LOST COMPLETE POWER INCLUDING HEADLIGHTS, POWER STEERING, AND MOBILITY OF THE CAR. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED, THE ISSUE CONTINUES, HOWEVER I AM JUST OUTSIDE OF 60,100 MILES. YES 60K MILE WARRANTY AND KNOWN CVT ISSUES. MY REAR DOOR ALSO OPENS WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD IF THE WINDOW SWITCH IS TOUCHED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REVERSE THE VEHICLE, THE BACKUP CAMERA FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PICTURE WAS SOMETIMES FUZZY OR DID NOT DISPLAY AT ALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FRED ANDERSON NISSAN OF RALEIGH (9225 GLENWOOD AVE, RALEIGH, NC 27617, (919) 324-3443) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED TO BE DIAGNOSED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS AN USED VEHICLE. THE CARFAX REPORT SHOWED A MINOR INCIDENT ON THE FRONT, BUT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE IS AN AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD WHICH CONTINUES TO GLOW WHEN I RUN THE VEHICLE. I ASKED MY SERVICE ADVISOR IN "NISSAN OF OMAHA" TO LOOK INTO THE ISSUE. HE REPLIED THE AIRBAG MODULE HAS TO BE REPLACED COMPLETELY AND IT WOULD COST ME $2300. I DOUBT IF THIS IS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THE SERVICE DEALER IS TRYING TO CHARGE ME FOR THE DEFECTIVE PART.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AFTER PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR. IN ADDITION TO THIS NOW THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT UP SHIFT FOR ROAD SPEED. VEHICLE, WHEN PLACED IN PARK OR NEUTRAL, WILL REV UP WHEN ACCELERATOR IS PUSHED BUT NOT WHILE TRANSMISSION IS ENGAGED IN DRIVE. AGAIN THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST 4-6 MONTHS. THE SHIFTING EPISODE OCCURRED IN ADDITION TO THE AFORE MENTIONED PROBLEM TODAY 20 OCT 2019.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROBBINS NISSAN (281-446-3181, LOCATED AT 18711 HIGHWAY 59 N, HUMBLE, TX 77338) WHERE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS UPDATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 81,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

MY CAR AFTER IT HAS WARMED UP FROM A STOP IT WILL NOT MOVE WHEN ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED , EVEN ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, THEN WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN TAKE OFF EVEN PEEL OUT AND IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT WILL START REVVING THE RPMS BUT BARELY MOVE. ONE TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT SHOWED THE SOLENOID #2 NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ONCE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF IT RESETS SOMEHOW AND WORKS FINE FOR A WHILE THEN DOES IT AGAIN. SO I WILL STOP AND RESTART THE CAR BEFORE I GET TO AN INTERSECTION SO I WON?T GET HIT BECAUSE MY CAR WON?T GO. IT WILL ALSO SHUDDER ON HILLS REGARDLESS OF BEING COLD OR HOT. DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD AND MY DAUGHTER WANTS MY CAR SO BRINGING IT IN TO GET THE SOLENOIDS REPLACED AND TRANSMISSION FLUSHED TO SEE IF THIS FIXES THE ISSUE. REAR PASSENGER WINDOW HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GO DOWN MUCH FROM DAY I BOUGHT IT, SO MAY BE RELATED TO DOOR OPENING RECALL , GUESS WE'LL SEE. *TR

WHEN DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WITH A LOT OF STOPPING AND STARTING, THE CAR HESITATES FOR A FEW SECONDS WHEN I PUSH ON THE GAS AFTER A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. IT HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY YET BUT IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME. I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE!

THE CAR STARTED SHACKING ONCE IT WOULD GO ABOUT 25-30 MPH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AFTER AND IT WAS READ BY A MECHANIC AS A CODE P0841-TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR/SWITCH. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY DRIVING.

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR STARTED JERKING LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO AND I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE IT WAS UNSAFE..MADE IT TO A STOP LIGHT AND THE CAR DIDN'T WANT TO GO..BUT IT WENT AFTER A COUPLE OF TRIES..I WENT SHOPPING AND GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY TO HEAD HOME AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND WENT TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND THEY TELL ME A LOT OF THE NISSAN ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND IT'S THE TRANSMISSION WHICH COST A LOT OF MONEY..I HAVE AROUND 75,000 MILES ON MY NISSAN ALTIMA

I WAS STOPPED AT A CORNER, AND WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKES TO ACCELERATE IT DIED. I ROLLDED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, STOPPED AGAIN AND IT STARTED?

I PURCHASED THIS CAR FOR MY WIFE TO DRIVE HER AND OUR THREE CHILDREN. SOMETHING WAS GOING ON MAKING THE CAR STALL WHEN PRESSING THE GAS AND SOMETIMES ACCELERATE. THE RPM WOULD GO ALL THE WAY UP EVEN WHEN TAKING FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN NEWARK DELAWARE AND THEY KEPT IT FOR A WEEK. I BELIEVE THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REPAIR SOMETHING ON THE TRANSMISSION. WHATEVER WAS WRONG THEY COVERED IT UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER A WEEK WE GOT THE CAR BACK AND MY WIFE DROVE TO NEW JERSEY TO VISIT FAMILY WITH THE KIDS ABOUT 45 MINUTES AWAY. WHILE COMING BACK ON THE DELAWARE MEMORIAL BRIDGE THE CAR RPM ROSE ALL THE WAY UP MAKING THE CAR ACCELERATE BEHIND ANOTHER CAR ALMOST RAMMING THE BACK OF ANOTHER CAR. SHAKEN FROM WHAT JUST HAPPENED SHE DROVE SLOW AND CAREFUL THE REST OF THE WAY HOME ABOUT 10 MINUTE DRIVE FROM THE BRIDGE. I TRIED TO CHECK IT OUT MYSELF BECAUSE WE JUST GOT IT BACK AFTER A WEEK SO IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ANYMORE TROUBLE BUT THE CAR THEN WOULD NOT START. THE BATTERY DIED FROM TRYING TO START IT. AFTER ALL THAT WE DID A VOLUNTARY SURRENDER DUE TO THE CAR NOT BEING SAFE. SHE FELT IF SHE AND THE KIDS GOT BACK IN IT SHE WOULD JUST BE ASKING FOR SOMETHING BAD TO HAPPEN. IT ONLY HAD ABOUT 39000 MILES SO SHOULD NOT BE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT.

I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN A CRASH, YET DISCOVERED THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON UPON FURTHER INSPECTION (AFTER PURCHASE). I KNOW SIMILAR MODEL YEARS HAD AIRBAG RECALLS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IF I WERE TO CRASH THE SRS SYSTEM AND THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY. HOW CAN A DEALER SELL YOU A VEHICLE THAT ISN'T SAFE TO OPERATE? I JUST WANT TO ENSURE THERE ISN'T A KNOWN PROBLEM BEFORE I SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS JUST TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF OPERATING MY VEHICLE; EVEN THOUGH IT SHOULD HAVE CAME THAT WAY. ALSO, INTERMITTENTLY THE SEATBELT LIGHT WILL COME ON EVEN WHEN I AM BUCKLED UP.

TL* THE CONTACT WAS AN ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE CHILD DEATH REVIEW FOR LA COUNTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OWNER OF A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA, EXITED THE VEHICLE WITH THE HEATER ACTIVATED AND LEFT HER 2-YEAR-OLD CHILD IN A CAR SEAT LOCATED IN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE FOR OVER 3 HOURS UNATTENDED. THE CAR SEAT INFORMATION WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CHILD WAS PRONOUNCED DECEASED DUE TO A HEAT STROKE. THE TEMPERATURE IN THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED 117 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT AND THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT TO MAKE THE DRIVER AWARE THAT THE VEHICLE COULD REACH FATAL HEATER TEMPERATURES OR THAT THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE WAS REACHING HIGH LEVELS OF HEAT TEMPERATURES. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THERE WAS NO SAFETY MECHANISM TO AVOID THE VEHICLE REACHING INTERIOR HIGH-TEMPERATURE LEVELS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE INCIDENT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.*DT

WE WERE TRAVELING FROM CHICAGO TO SPRINGFIELD, MO AND WERE ABOUT 110 MILES FROM HOME TRAVELING 75 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED TO BUCK, THEN WE HEARD A BRIEF SCREECHING NOISE TWICE. THE CAR WOULD REV UP SUDDENLY TO 3-4 THOUSAND RPMS RANDOMLY. THE CAR BEGAN TO LOSE POWER UPHILL WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. NONE OF OUR WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AT ALL.

THE CAR HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION THAT IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS, ACCLERATES ON ITS OWN, OR TURNS OFF COMPLETELY WHEN IT WARMS, IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY OR DRIVE IN WARM WEATHER DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHEN IT HEATS UP. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, IT CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MANY OF NISSANS CVT TRANSMISSIONS THAT THEY ARE NOT FIXING.

CALL STALLS AND RPM REVS OUT OF CONTROL. STOPPED AT RED LIGHT, LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND CAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL STATE AND BEGAN ROLLING BACKWARDS. PRESSED GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, ONLY FOR CAR TO BARELY MOVE THROUGH MAJOR INTERSECTION AND TRAFFIC. WHEN FINALLY ABLE TO MOVE CAR MADE A JERKING MOTION AND STALLED BEFORE IT MOVED AT REGULAR SPEED. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSTIC RAN AND THEY SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED

16 NISSAN ALTIMA SOMETIMES HAS ABOUT A 5 SECOND DELAY IN ACCELERATION AS CAR JUST IDLES AND SLOWLY ROLLS AHEAD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE TAKING OFF AND CROSSING ON COMING TRAFFIC. TOOK IT TO NISSAN DEALER THEY SAID NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE IT DOESNT SHOW AN ERROR CODE. SAME WITH NISSAN USA CORPERATION. SAYS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTILL SHOWS A CODE OR FAILS COMPLETELY. SO BASICALL THEY ARE SAYING THAT THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE? NEW TRANSMISSION ABOUT 4500 DOLLARS. MY WARRANTY RUNS OUT AT 90,000 MILES, WICH IS AN AFTERMARKET WARRANTY THAT I PAID 2500 $ FOR. IM SURE THAT THEY HOPE THE WARRANTY EXPIRES SO I GET THE BILL. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS, AND FOOTPEDAL POSITION SENSORS AND DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT. HOW CAN THEY BE IN BUISNESS? HOW VAN THEY TELL ME IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE LIKE THIS. I THINK IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE.

TRANSMISSION SENSOR

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT 30 MILES AN HOUR, WHEN I APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION TO TAKE A TIGHT HAND TURN I WAS YIELDING FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC COMPLETELY STOPPED . WHEN I WENT TO SLIGHTLY MOVE FORWARD TO SEE IF I HAD THE RIGHT AWAY MY CAR JOLTED FORWARD. JUST SPED UP AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO DE ACCELERATION. I ALMOST CRASHED INTO CHILDREN CROSSING A SIDE WALK. THE ACCELERATION WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF MY CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OTHER TIMES JUST NOT AS SIGNIFICANT. I DID NOTICE IT'S HAPPENING WHOLE MY AC IS ON.

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON ITS THE SUBMENTAL AIRBAG LIGHT.

I HAD STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, WHEN IT TURNED GREEN MY CAR STALLED AND WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. ONCE IT DID, IT WOULDN'T PICK UP SPEED. CAR WILL GO UP TO 4RPM AND WILL ONLY GO 10-15 MILES P/HR. NO SERVICE LIGHT HAS APPEARED. THIS HAPPENED IN CITY STREETS. THIS FIRST HAPPENED TWO WEEKS AGO AND BEEN HAPPENING EVERY TIME I'VE DRIVEN THE CAR, WHICH HAS BEEN THREE MORE TIMES, HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT SINCE.

MY CAR STALLS ACELLARATION RPM HIGH. ANS SLOWS DOWNS ON ITS OWN WITHOUT USING THE BRAKE CITY DRIVING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND HIGHWAY AT TIMES I HAVE A SCANNER I GOT COED E8 AND E9 WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR IT NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR I HAVE IT TOWED BECAUSE IT KEPT STALLING. THEY HAD MY CAR FOR 3 WEEKS WITH NO FINDINGS IT HAPPEN IN 9-19 AND AGAIN 10_11-19 WHILE ON A RODE TRIP WITH MY FAMILY

CAR STARTED TO LURCH AND WHINE WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. TWO WEEKS LATER IT GOT WORSE AND STARTED TO LOSE POWER OR FAIL TO ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING. NOW VEHICLE WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR MOST TIMES. WHEN IT DOES IT FAILS TO MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD, WHILE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND NEEDS TO BE REBUILT OR REPLACED.

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR JUST ACCELERATES ALL ON ITS OWN. WHEN I STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. I TRY TO DRIVE OFF AND THE CAR DOES NOT GO. IT MOVES VERY SLOWLY AND TAKES A COUPLE SECONDS TO GO. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I REALLY WISH THIS WOULD GET INVESTIGATED.

IN MARCH 2019 MY VEHICLE HAD 54,000 MILES. I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT & WHEN I HIT THE GAS AND THE CAR JERKED FORWARD AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, LEAVING ME SIT IN TRAFFIC. IT EVENTUALLY MOVED. I TOOK IT TO JONES JUNCTION NISSAN AND THEY "COULD NOT HAVE AN ERROR CODE" FOR THE PROBLEM, MADE ME BUY A CARB KIT TO FIX IT. TWO MONTHS LATER, IN MAY 2019, WITH 58,000 MILES ON MY CAR, I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. IT WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN I HIT THE GAS AND I HAD TO DRIFT FOR 2 MILES TO AN ADVANCE AUTO PARTS. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON, IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN, BUT WOULD HESITATE ON OCCASION, PARTICULARLY WHEN STOPPED. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEY COULD NOT FIND AN "ERROR CODE" SO REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH WHEN THE MECHANIC DROVE IT, HE ALSO FELT THE HESITATION. NISSAN HAD THE DEALERSHIP "RE-PROGRAM" THE TRANSMISSION AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. NISSAN REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. ONE MONTH LATER I WENT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND LET THE MECHANIC KNOW IF WAS STILL HESITATING A LITTLE BIT WHEN I WOULD BEING TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. YESTERDAY, AUGUST 26, WITH 62,000 MILES ON MY CAR, IT STARTED HESITATING AND JERKING ON THE HIGHWAY AS I WAS DRIVING AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AGAIN. I HAD TO PULL OVER, STOP THE CAR, RESTART IT, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. IT DID THE SAME THING ON THE RIDE HOME, JERKING EVERY TIME I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS, AND NOT ACCELERATING AT STOP LIGHTS AND IN TRAFFIC. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE IN TO JONES JUNCTION NISSAN 4 TIMES NOW FOR THE SAME ISSUE. TO DATE, THEY HAVE NOT REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION - WHICH IS A CVT TRANSMISSION - AND AFTER LOOKING ONLINE I SEE THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS AND ISSUES WITH THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION. IT HAS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS FIXING! IT IS GETTING RIDICULOUS THAT I HAVE TO TAKE IT IN THERE SO OFTEN FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND NISSAN WILL NOT RESOLVE IT.

I have been having transmission issues, started in 2019 i have taken it to multiple dealership they can never find the issues, after my vehicle warranty expired they miraculously found the issue with my cvt transmission, when calling nissan customer care they would only cover 2500.. after i havr been taking it over 2 years to 4 different dealerships

WITHIN I MONTH PRIOR TO MY ACCIDENT I HAD TIRE PROBLEMS. I REPLACED THE 4 TIRES.APPROX. 3 PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT I HAD FUEL AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE PARTS WERE REPLACED. APPROX. 1 WEEK PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT I HAD FRONT BRAKES REPLACED .ESURANCE HAS MY VEHICLE POLICY # [XXX]CLAIM#[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

The car has been experiencing transmission problems since about 95,000 miles. I contacted Nissan of North America about the issue and they told me they knew of the issue, extended warranty to 88,000 miles. I bought car used with 87,000 and no issue until 95,000. Issue is, the car stalls in stop and go traffic, it revs and jumps when starting, makes a humming noise while gas pedal is engaged. Took it in for recalls and Nissan of Lagrange even said the CVT transmissions are junk. Nissan needs to recall every car that has this transmission and fix the issue.

I JUST PURCHASED A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA FROM HERTZ CAR SALES IN APRIL 2019. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO CHANGE THE BATTERY, AND NOW I HAVE A NEW HEADACHE. ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 2019 OF LAST WEEK WHEN I STOPPED AT A CROSSWALK, ON A CITY STREET, TO ALLOW A PEDESTRIAN TO CROSS, WITHOUT ANY FOREWARNING THE CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. I HAD TO RESTART IT AND IT DID SO WITH NO PROBLEM, BUT THEN I NOTICED THAT THE CAR FELT VERY HESITANT TO DRIVE. AS I WAS DRIVING IT FELT AS THOUGH THE CAR WAS GOING TO STOP AT ANY MINUTE. ESPECIALLY WHEN I WOULD BRAKE, SLOW DOWN, OR COMPLETELY STOP.I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR A FEW TIMES DURING MY COMMUTE. ALSO, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A FEW DAYS NOW SO I HAD 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS LOOK AT MY CAR. THE FIRST ONE SAID THAT IT MAY BE THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR, BUT HE WAS NOT 100% CERTAIN. THE SECOND SHOP I WENT TO SAID IT WAS THE VTC SOLENOID,AND THE THIRD PLACE THAT I CHECKED GAVE ME AN ACTUAL ERROR # OF P0011 INTAKE VALVE TIMING, VALVE CONTROL.

MY 2016 ALTIMA BEGAN TO STUDDER AND JERK WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND LOOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS AN EXTREME SAFETY CONCERN. TOOK THE CAR TO 2 DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION SHOPS ONE STATED I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION $4500 AND THE OTHER WANTS TO CHARGE $987 IN ORDER TO TAKE APART THE TRANS TO FIND THE EXACT PART AND REPAIR THAT, CONTACTED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IS FOR YEARS 2003-2010 WHICH IS DISGUSTING SINCE MY CAR IS ONLY 3YRS OLD GETTING THE P0841 TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR SWITCH A/B CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE. NISSAN STATED I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE AND THEY WILL TRY AND NEGOTIATE SOMETHING TO LOWER THE COST OF REPAIR DEALERSHIPS WANT TO CHARGER ANYWHERE FOR $99-$150 JUST TO LOOK AT IT. I AM ALREADY OUT OF MONEY BECAUSE I DRIVE FULL-TIME FOR A LIVING AND ONLY HAVE ONE CAR. I WILL NEVER EVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT NISSAN WOULD EXTEND A WARRANTY ON AN OLDER CAR BUT NOT ONE 3 YRS OLD FOR A PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE FULL WELL AWARE OF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE JERKED, SHUDDERED, AND THE SPEED DECREASED FROM 70 TO 20 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE PULLED OVER TO THE ROAD SHOULDER. THE CONTACT SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND SAT FOR TEN MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DON DAVIS NISSAN (1320 I-20 FRONTAGE RD, ARLINGTON, TX 76018, (877) 415-3218) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND ACTIVE SHUDDER ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRED AND OPENED A CASE FOR THE CONTACT. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED TO HELP PAY 60% OF THE REPAIR COSTS FOR THE TRANSMISSION ONLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE CONTACT WAS ASSIGNED A LOANER VEHICLE AT NO CHARGE. THE CONTACT STILL HAD TO PAY OVER $2,000 TO COVER THE ACTIVE SHUDDER ASSEMBLY AND WAS STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR $1,500 TOWARDS THE REMAINING TRANSMISSION COSTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

MY VEHICLE HASN'T BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS AND THE AIRBAG LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND GO SOLID AND STAY ON THEN SOMETIMES GO OFF AND THEN COME BACK ON??? I'VE BEEN READING THAT THE OCS SYSTEM COULD BE FAULTY!! THE PASSENGER ONE WILL SOMETIMES STAY ON WHEN PEOPLE ARE SITTING IN THE SEATS OR IT WILL GO OFF WHEN NO ONE IS THERE??

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE FROM A STOPPED POSITION, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUTHERLIN NISSAN VERO BEACH LOCATED AT 946 US-1, VERO BEACH, FL 32962. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE CVT VALVE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.
