2019 Nissan Altima Complaint Log

AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB) FUNCTION FAILED AT A RED LIGHT. AEB HAD BEEN SET IN A 3-VEHICLE DISTANCE. HOWEVER, UPON ARRIVING AT THE RED LIGHT, ON A CITY STREET, WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US, NISSAN ALTIMA 2019 DIDN'T ACTUALLY RESPOND TO THE CONDITION AND KICK OFF ITS AEB SYSTEM TO 1) SLOW DOWN 2) STOP THE MOVING VEHICLE. THIS IS A DRIVING EXPERIENCE DATED ON JUNE 01 2019.

WHEN USING THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID IT BARELY SHOOTS OUT. IT ONLY COVER 1/4 OF THE WHOLE WINDSHIELD. THIS BECAME VERY DANGEROUS WHEN I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME IN THE HIGHWAY WHEN LOVEBUGS COVERED MY WINDSHIELD.

THE GAS TANK NOTIFICATION SAYS THAT I HAVE NO GAS WHEN I HAVE GAS IN THE CAR IT ALSO GIVES ME A BURNT SMELL AND LOUD STATIC NOISE EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS OFF, THE STEREO STOPPED WORKING AND I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 5/5/19

CAR ENGINE RUNNING PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. I WAS IN THE HOUSE. SON WAS ON PORCH. YELLED THAT CAR WAS MOVING. WHEN IT SAW THAT IT WAS BACKING UP I RAN TO TRY TO STOP IT. THE CAR BACKED DOWN MY DRIVEWAY, WHICH WAS FLAT WITH NO INCLINE, TO THE STREET, ACROSS THE STREET AND INTO THE NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE. THE STREET IS QUIET A BIT HIGHER THAN DRIVEWAY BUT IT SEEMED TO PICK UP SPEED WHEN IT WENT OVER IT. I REACHED IT RIGHT AS IT HIT THE NEIGHBORS HOUSE. I CALLED POLICE DEPT. VEHICLE WAS IN PARK THE ENTIRE TIME. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED IT TO DO THAT. IF MY HANDICAP SON HAD BEEN GETTING IN VEHICLE WHEN THIS OCCURRED IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED HIM SERIOUS INJURY AND COULD HAVE CAUSED ANYONE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN PASSING ON THE STREET OR IN THE NEIGHBORS YARD TO BE INJURED. NEIGHBOR IS AN OLDER MAN AND HE WAS QUITE SHAKEN UP. THE IMPACT SHOOK HIS HOUSE QUITE A BIT. I HAVE BEEN AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. WILL SUPPLY POLICE REPORT WHEN IT IS AVAILABLE FROM THE POLICE DEPT.

TL* THE CONTACT LEASED A 2019 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING UNDER 30 MPH, A RED LIGHT FLASHED FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STOPPED. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SEATS TO JERK FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME AND PARKED DUE TO THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED TO PROPERLY ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE. THE CONTACT HAD TO CHECK THE COMPONENT TO ENSURE WHETHER IT WAS ON OR OFF. ALSO, THE EMERGENCY WARNING INDICATED FLASHED INTERMITTENTLY MORE THAN ONCE AND A CLUNKING NOISE WAS HEARD WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NISSAN 112 (730 MEDFORD AVE, PATCHOGUE, NY 11772, (631) 651-1987), BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THERE WAS NO DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. A SECOND DEALER (NISSAN OF HUNTINGTON, 850 E JERICHO TURNPIKE, HUNTINGTON STATION, NY 11746, (631) 533-4888) WAS NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE MADE ABNORMAL BANGING NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER SIDES. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 800.

WHILE DRIVING ALONG A HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE LANE, MY FIANC HEARD A LOUD NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A LOUD BANG. HE THOUGHT SOMETHING HAD FALLEN ON TOP OF THE SUNROOF BUT FOUND IT STRANGE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO TREES AROUND FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. WHEN HE STOPPED AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR, HE FOUND THAT THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD HAD SHATTERED INTO LITTLE PIECES. LUCKILY HE WAS NOT INJURED AND NO GLASS CAME THROUGH THE CAR BECAUSE THE SHIELD WAS CLOSED. THERE WERE NO DENT OR IMPACT MARKS ON THE SUNROOF OR ANY PART OF THE CAR. WHEN WE HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT, HE TOLD US THAT THE BREAK BAND FROM THE INSIDE AND WAS ALMOST 'PUSHED UP' IN A WAY. NISSAN HAD DENIED OUR CLAIM, AND PAYING THE DEDUCTIBLE AND GETTING IT FIXED, I STILL HEAR A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM ABOVE.

I BECAME AWARE OF THE AUTOMATIC WINDSHIELD WASHER PROBLEM WHEN I TRIED TO CLEAR OFF DUST AND GRIME FROM OUR NEW 2019 NISSAN ALTIMA WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I ACTIVATED THE WASHERS TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD, THE WASHER FLUID BARELY SPLASHED ONTO THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD. I HAD TO REPEATEDLY ACTIVATE THE SYSTEM TO EVEN GET THE WINDSHIELD PARTLY CLEAN. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. TO MY CHAGRIN, I WAS TOLD NO ONE ELSE HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THAT THE WASHERS OPERATE AS THEY WERE DESIGNED TO DO. BUT I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE PLACEMENT OF THE WINDSHIELD WASHER NOZZLES UNDER THE HOOD RESULTS IN THE FLUID STREAM HITTING THE UNDERSIDE OF THE HOOD FIRST AND THEN IT ONLY PARTLY HITS THE WINDSHIELD ABOUT 1/3 OF THE WAY UP ON THE WINDSHIELD. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND AN INEPT DESIGN FLAW BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CANNOT ADJUST THE FLUID STREAM TO SHOOT UP ON THE WINDSHIELD THE WAY EVERY OTHER CAR IN THE WORLD DOES. I HAVE TO LIVE WITH A BARELY CLEANABLE WINDSHIELD BECAUSE SOME DESIGNER NEVER TRIED OUT THE WASHERS IN THE REAL WORLD. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45-50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB) WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

THE SENSOR POSITION WAS ADJUSTED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE AEB SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF FAILURE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,800. *LN*JB

WINDSHIELD GLARE IS DISTRACTING WHEN DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN SPRAYING WATER ON THE WINDSHIELD FROM THE WINDSHIELD WASHER SPRAYERS, IT ONLY SPRAYS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD AND DOES NOT COVER THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD. YOU HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY SPRAY WATER SO THE WIPERS CAN SPREAD THE WATER ON THE WINDSHIELD. BUT DOING THIS DOES NOT ALWAYS MAKE THE WINDSHIELD CLEAN. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. THE WATER SPRAYS ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE HOOD AND THEN ONTO THE WINDSHIELD. THE DEALER HAS NOT YET BEEN ADVISED OF THIS ISSUE. THE WAY THE WASHER SPRAYERS ARE MOUNTED, I DOUBT THAT THE PROBLEM CAN BE EASILY FIXED.

THE HEAD RESTS IN THIS CAR PUSH MY HEAD FORWARD AND I CAN'T SIT IN THE CAR WITH MY BACK AGAINST THE SEAT. VERY HARD ON MY BACK. I HAVE ADJUSTED THE HEAD REST TO ALL POSITIONS WITH NO LUCK. THE ONLY THING THAT WORKS IS REMOVING IT AND PUTTING IT IN BACKWARDS. THERE SHOULD BE SOME WAY TO ADJUST THIS! NO WAY TO MAKE A LONG DRIVE WITH THIS HEAD REST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT VENT CONTROL FUNCTION FOR THE HEAT AND AIR CONDITIONER FAILED TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT PREVIOUSLY TRADED IN A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA FOR WHICH AUTONATION NISSAN PEMBROKE PINES (8890 PINES BLVD, PEMBROKE PINES, FL 33024, (954) 949-0421) REPLACED THE AIR COMPRESSOR. CURRENTLY, THE 2019 ALTIMA WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR COMPRESSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PART WAS TO BE REPLACED BY THE DEALER; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE OEM PART MAY BE FAULTY AND WOULD NOT PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT WANTED TO THE VEHICLE TO BE BOUGHT BACK IF THERE WAS NO REMEDY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DEFECTIVE REARVIEW 'ANTI-GLARE' MIRROR HARDLY REDUCES ANY LIGHT AT NIGHT FROM VEHICLES BEHIND THE CAR. ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE WITHOUT DISTRACTION OR BLINDING LIGHT. THIS IS A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING AND SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH A DESIGN THAT REDUCES LIGHT AT NIGHT. AS IS, THIS IS A DANGEROUS DESIGN, WHICH CAN CAUSE A COLLISION DUE TO THE BLINDING LIGHT THAT IS NEARLY UNCONTROLLABLE. YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOS THE MIRROR IS FUNCTIONING BUT IT'S ABSOLUTELY A TERRIBLE DESIGN THAT ALMOST DOESN'T REDUCE LIGHT AT ALL.
