2020 Nissan Altima Complaint Log

235/40R1992V

All 4 door actuators have gone out. I cannot lock or unlock my car with the key fob or manually with the key from the outside. The driver side door is unable to be manually locked/unlocked causing me to get locked in and out of my car randomly. Within the last month, it has gotten more frequent with the driver said. The rear doors went bad months ago. The passenger door started approximately 2 months ago and the driver door within the last month. This was confirmed by Modern Nissan in Winston Salem, NC on 06/10/2023 and I got a second opinion on 06/16/2023 who also confirmed all 4 door actuators needed to be replaced. There were no warning lights or messages.

I have been noticing electrical issues with the vehicle that have been going unresolved. This is the third time I'm taking it to a dealership. On 15 Nov 2022 the vehicle gave a frontal collision warning with no other vehicles around it felt like the emergency braking system engaged because the brakes became solid as a rock. I had to put the car into park and restart the vehicle to begin driving again. Then on 16 Nov 2022 the car battery was dead around 4:48 pm and I had to get the taco shop's help, they gave me jumper cables and my wife's co-worker got the car started. Now, 18 Nov 2022 the vehicle is in another dealership waiting to see what they say and the car is staying the weekend to be evaluated.

MY BATTERY COUGHT FIRE AS I WAS DRIVING ALL OF A SUDDEN

The contact owns a 2020 Nissan Altima. The contact stated while his wife was driving at 40-45 MPH with his daughter sitting in the front passenger seat, the vehicle crashed into another vehicle that failed to yield at the stop sign. The air bags failed to deploy and the seat belts failed to engage. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact's wife and daughter sustained back pain and headaches but did not seek medical assistance. A police report was filed. The contact met his wife at the scene and assisted her with driving the vehicle to his residence which was approximately 300-400 ft. away. The contact, a certified autobody technician, determined that the air bags and the restraint system failed to operate as needed. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that he would need to tow the vehicle at his own expense for diagnostic tests. The contact declined and the manufacturer informed the contact that they could not assist unless he complied with their request. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000.

Crash Malfunction is randomly coming on while driving. It comes on even when there is NO vehicle in front of you. It comes on at random speeds from 2 to 40 MPH. I feel that if there was a warning, it may not come on. Problem has been going Vehicle is being inspected by Nissan today however the technician cannot duplicate the issue since it is random. It has come on 12 times in the past 15 days.

I bought a used (7,000 miles) 2020 Nissan Altima 2.5 SV. Bought the car on January (18-19th) 2022 with a clean Car Fax. Then, on August 12, 2022 at 17,500 approximate miles the transmission failed. I was driving and suddenly the engine light came on and the car was being strange. Slight shaking, vibration, and delayed acceleration plus a few other details I cannot recall. I immediately went to the dealership since I was nearby and I did not feel that the car was safe to drive. Then I left it there for over a month (all with no loaner vehicle because they had none) and they said they needed to get me a new transmission. Needing a new transmission so soon, is not normal. The dealership even said this, but also said it is unfortunately an issue they see with their CVT transmissions. I had no prior symptoms, and this was very sudden. I had even called them to let them know I was on the way, and they said if I was not close-by that I should tow the car in because it might not be safe. It could have caused an accident if I had driven for longer, so I consider myeslf lucky and hope that other people do not have the same expierence.

When first purchased car headlights on passenger side did t work. They had to change the computer system. Had car whole week to complete. Then had to straighten the hood because it was off track. Now they states I have to get axle gears dropped and greased. Only had car 3 months and warranty doesn’t covers anything. States I need fuel induction and injection serviced

The contact owns a 2020 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while attempting to park the vehicle, the vehicle independently accelerated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. There was no cause for the failure found. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 40,000.

Driving on the freeway car started losing power, pulled over and then caught fire in matter of minutes the whole car was engulfed in flames. Fire department said it was an electrical fire near the battery and the fire wall on the driver side.

Driving car on the freeway and car lost power. Turned the car off and checked all the fluids to make sure they were at proper levels and found no issue. Started car back up and then started smoking, open the hood and an electric fire had started, tried putting out with a fire extinguisher and it did nothing 2 min later the whole car was in flames.

The contact owns a 2020 Nissan Altima. The contact stated while the vehicle was at a standstill in a parking lot and using the seat heater for approximately 30 minutes, the front driverside seat heater caught fire. The contact extinguished the fire with bottles of water he had available. The contact sustained superficial burns on his lower back and continues to have trouble breathing but hasn't sought medical attention. The contact drove to the nearest fire department but was under construction and was unable to file any fire report. The contact also stated later on that day he drove to a police department and filed a police report. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000. The VIN was not available.

Its not unknown. I arrived at work on Thursday the 12th of May, AT 8:00 A.M. I work in an Industrial Park where there is no traffic. My car was looking great, I put my sunshade cover up and proceeded to go into work. After working all day I came out to my car and my windshield was crack starting from the top of the car and flowering down. Nothing hit my car on my way into work, and actually there is nothing that shows it was hit a all. This is a factory defect and there are bubbles when the glue or whatever they use is a mess.

First, the chip has started to malfunction around 13k miles. Secondly, there is a lurch when the car first starts and an aggressive RPM jump and then drop, it begins to run fine upon warming up alittle. Now, at 20k miles the car is having issues with the wipers not spraying the windows well and the rear passenger door has to be locked manually from the interior.

All four door lock actuators have failed when the car was only 2 years old. We have lived with it but this seems to happen and could be a safety issue.

The contact owns a 2020 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the grille shutter needed to be replaced. The contact stated that she replaced the grille shutter herself. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000. The VIN was unavailable.

Car continually goes into malfunction mode. It goes away when the car is turned off and re started. It throws a code for mass air flow sensor. Have replaced mass air flow sensor three times. No dealership or mechanic can find an issue. Sometimes, the collision warning goes off for no reason causing panic. This has been going on for a year. Began March 2022.

While I was parking the car suddenly accelerated rapidly, causing me to hit the parked vehicle in front of me. I have not yet had the car inspected.

The contact owns a 2020 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that after parking the vehicle and turning off the engine white smoke was suddenly present inside the cabin of the vehicle. After exiting the vehicle flames and smoke could be seen coming from under the steering wheel. The fire department was called to the scene and extinguished the flames. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. A fire report was taken at the scene. The failure mileage was 17,930.

The contact owns a 2020 Nissan Altima. The contact stated while she had the vehicle serviced for oil maintenance at the local dealer, she had heard an abnormal noise but the dealer stated it was normal. The contact stated the next day while her nephew was driving 15 MPH and making a right turn, the tie rod detached from the vehicle. The contact stated he was not aware of any warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not drivable. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V138000 (Steering) however, the VIN was not included. The contact towed the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the tie rod to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 21,039.

I bought a used (7,000 miles) 2020 Nissan Altima 2.5 SV. Bought the car January (18-19th) 2022. The same week I bought it I noticed a noise coming from the right side of the car. I would later come to find out it was a wheel bearing, which when not fixed can lead to some serious safety concerns. The wheel can potentially come off during driving! At high speeds in particular, that is dangerous. I am glad it did not happen to me, but it could have caused fatal accidents. Anytime I made turned my wheel to the right I heard a low droning/humming/vibrating noise from the opposite side. It was more pronounced with speed and depth of turn. These turns do not have to be very deep; most highways have curves in them, and this is when I would hear the noise. It usually began at speeds of 50-60mph, but as the issue became more pronounced over time (this took a whole year to resolve) this changed, and I was able to hear it from 30-40mph. Nissan did not want to warranty this at first, at multiple dealership locations. More time passed and I noticed the wheel bearing noise getting more and more pronounced. I brought it to another dealership that was not a Nissan dealership, and they said it’s clearly the wheel bearing. That’s the first time I had been told what this could possibly be. I brought it to the local Nissan dealership after this, so I could get this done under warranty. Remember, this has been happening since I bought the car, and I am at less than 17k mileage. I told them I was concerned about the wheel bearing and that I thought this was the issue, and it was more pronounced now than in the past. They said, "the car is fine" and that the noise it’s “normal.” I asked how a loud noise happening only conditionally and to only one side of the car was “normal”, and he had no reply for that. Months later the noise is became incredibly disturbing, and I spoke with the manager, and they finally fixed the wheel bearing under warranty.

1. The volume knob for the radio is VERY touchy. Turns all the way up when trying to turn it down. 2. When I have cruise control on and am trying to avoid getting hit by a car that has gone too far out of their lane, the lane keeping assistant will fight me for control. 3. If labe assistance is fighting me for control then that means it's not detecting that a car is too close to me. 4. Back up camera image became garbled like it was getting bad TV reception. 5. Car hesitates at times or gets a sudden burst of speed. I am in the beginning stages of making this list to take to the dealership; so they have not checked the car yet.

When braking there is a popping noise coming from the front of the car. And the Foward Braking light comes on for 5-10 mins of driving time then goes off

The back up camera froze and it kept glitching. This has been happening since May. Everything else seems to be fine while it’s happening but now it’s stuck like that when I try to back up. This is extremely dangerous as cars are now made with backup cameras as a safety feature. If that feature is broken it’s going to be very bad. Most drivers now a day most every driver relies on this feature. This has happened 5 times now, but this time it seems permanent.

My windshield cracked on the front passenger side out of nowhere...meaning not any reason for it to do so. First it was on the passenger's side which I originally assumed that something/somebody must have hit it while parked at my child's school. I took it to AAA Glass to get an estimate and was told that that usually a windshield does not do that unless it is 3 years old. My car is a 2020!!! Then my car was parked in my driveway all weekend and when I got in it, I noticed that the driver's windshield area was cracked. Finding this VERY usual, I did a google check to discover that several drivers have had the SAME problem with the SAME year, SAME model and SAME make of the car. A YouTube video of their car even showed it is the SAME area that I experience the crack. I called the dealership and was told there wasn't a recall and they offered no assistance. I called Nissan and am waiting on them to return my car. With so many people having this issue, it is worrisome. This is a safety issue and a recall should be done immediately to avoid any accidents or injury/harm to those that sit in the front seat. I am not getting anywhere and hope that this complaint and others are taken seriously. Thank you!

All of a sudden, heard a very loud bang and the back window shattered and was pushed outward. We were driving slow and in an open space; nothing hit the window. It did not have any prior cracks or chips in it. This issue has been reported with other Nissan Altimas, however my specific VIN did not fall under this recall.

I brought this car last year of 2020 and I had my car for a year and a half and all of a sudden my drive train is making noise, to a point people on the street thinks it’s gum shots. My car already passed inspection way before this started. I took it back to the place I got it from they had no loaners I have to wait a week to come in I have to drive the car to work and I’m scared it’s gonna lock or break down on me my car should not be having these problems I have receipts of me taking car of my car to ensure nothing happens. Then all of a sudden my airbag lights come so if someone did hit me my airbags would not deploy.

The washer fluid motor or spray nozzles design is defective. I’ve been to my dealership multiple times they have replaced the pumps and gone through the whole set up and said there’s nothing that can be done. When dirt and dust are on the windshield and you want to spray it off is when the problem arises. The fluid is only sprayed on the lower portion of the windshield and does not spray the part that needs sprayed the middle and top where you look out off. This is not only a hindrance but could be a safety issue when your visual path is compromised. The dealer said they were putting in complaints and hopefully the engineers or design team looks at it as a problem. I hope this grabs the attention of the people that can make safety issues known and hopefully something is put in the motion to fix this. Thanks

2020 NISSAN ALTIMA. CONSUMER WRITES IS REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE INTELLIGENT FORWARD COLLISION WARNING FEATURE. THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM WOULD BEEP THEN SLAM ON THE BRAKES, WITHOUT THE PRESENCE OF AN OBSTRUCTION. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE.

2020 NISSAN ALTIMA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD LUNGE FORWARD. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE.

I was driving home and my steering wheel locked up on me while my car was in motion. I eased on down the road thinking that it locked because of a safety warning, but it never unlocked. I eased my car onside the road and put it in park. While in park, the power steering light appeared on the dashboard. Once I turned my car off, the steering wheel was still locked. This risked my safety because I was not able to control my vehicle.

PARKED THE CAR FOR ROUGHLY 10 MINUTES. CAME BACK AND STARTED CAR WITH ALL LIGHTS ON DASH ILLUMINATED. HARD TO DRIVE, HARD TO STEER AND COULD NOT TELL HOW FAST VEHICLE WAS MOVING AS SPEEDOMETER DIDN'T WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE, HAD IT TAKEN TO NISSAN DEALER. ADVISED THAT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE LIGHTS ISSUES AFTER IT SAT FOR 3 DAYS BEFORE "RESETTING" ITSELF.

I LEASED A 2020 NISSAN ALTIMA SL IN JANUARY. 2020. I'VE BEEN IN ISOLATION FOR 13 MONTHS BECAUSE OF A HIGH RISK OF CONTRACTING COVID19. I TURNED ON MY CAR PERIODICALLY AND SAW AN ALERT ON THE DASHBOARD.I CALLED THE MANAGER OF CONTINENTAL NISSAN WHERE I LEASED THE CAR. HE TOLD ME IT HAD TO DO WITH THE REAR SENSORS AND ADVISED ME TO WIPE THEM, WHICH I DID. HOWEVER, WHEN I BACKED UP MY CAR TODAY THE REAR SENSORS DID NOT GO OFF WHEN I GOT VERY CLOSE TO MY NEIGHBOR'S GARAGE DOOR. I HAVE A CASE #43362334. THE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY REPAIRS TO THE REAR SENSORS, WHICH IS PREPOSTEROUS. I DID NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR OVER A YEAR.MOREOVER, THERE ARE RECALLS ON 2020/2021 ALTIMAS. NISSAN IS PUTTING ME AT DANGER OF A REAR END COLLISION/DAMAGE.

SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE I'VE HAD TWO INSTANCES THAT I FEEL ARE DEFECT RELATED. THE TIRE INDICATOR LIGHTS CONTINUED TO READ LOW AIR. THE TIRE WAS LEAKING SOME TYPE OF BLACK FILM AND A HUGE KNOT APPEARED ON THE SIDE OF THE TIRE. ANOTHER INCIDENT INVOLVED THE TIRE COMPLETELY BLOWING. THE TIRE DEFECTS WERE REPORTED BACK TO THE COMPANY AND WERE INDICATED AS NO FAULT TO MANUFACTURE. SINCE I'VE COMPLAINED OF A RECALL THAT HAS BEEN IN THE MODEL VEHICLE BUT A DIFFERENT YEAR. MY VISIBILITY IS OBSTRUCTED DUE TO ALL WINDOWS RETAINING DEW AND MOISTURE CAUSING FOG TO APPEAR IN ALL WINDOWS. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING EARLY MORNING & AT DAWN DURING TEMPERATURE CHANGES. THE DEFROST DOESN'T CLEAR THE WINDOWS. DURING RAINY WEATHER THE CAR IS COMPLETELY DISABLED DUE THE OBSTRUCTION IN VISION FROM THE THICKLY FOGGED WINDOWS. I HAD IT CHECKED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD IT WAS LIKE THAT BECAUSE THE WINDOW WAS DIRTY. I DON'T FEEL LIKE SERVICE HAS THOROUGHLY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. I'M CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY CHILD AND HAVE STRESSED THIS TO THEM NUMEROUS TIMES. DURING EACH DEFECT, THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. PLEASE HELP

CAR SLAMMING ON BRAKES WHEN NO OTHER VEHICLE IS AROUND GAS GUAGE START TO READ WRONG

DURING COLD TEMPERATURES THE CAR ACCELERATES POORLY, ENGINE RPM IS UNUSUAL. AT LEAST ONE INSTANCE OF THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES WITH A "SERVICE NOW" MESSAGE DISPLAYED. IN ALL CASES THE VEHICLE ENGINE WAS RUNNING, IN (SLOW) MOTION, AND ON A CITY STREET AND ONE INCIDENT ON A HIGHWAY GOING STRAIGHT AHEAD. A SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF A NISSAN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY STATED THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THIS NATURE ABOUT THIS CALL YEAR AND MODEL.

MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED FOR NO REASON . NO SIGNS THAT IT WAS CRACKED BY IMPACT . THE CRACK KEEPS GETTING BIGGER. GIVING ME POOR VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING . VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE .

The contact owns a 2020 Nissan Altima. The contact stated while driving from a complete stop, the vehicle would hesitate and shudder. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that no issues were found; however, the failure reoccurred. Additionally, the contact stated while the vehicle was parked, she shifted into drive(D) and depressed the accelerator pedal however, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact was unable to drive the vehicle after several attempts. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission had failed. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle would be repaired at her own expense. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the vehicle could not be repaired under the power train warranty due to the mileage. The failure mileage was approximately 59,000. The VIN was not available.

MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED FOR NO REASON WITH ONLY 460 MILES ON THE CAR. UPON LOOKING THROUGH A SOCIAL MEDIA GROUP AND READING FORUMS IT WAS VERY EVIDENT THAT THIS IS A SUPER COMMON ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW IF IT CRACKED WHEN I WAS DRIVING OR OVER NIGHT BUT I NOTICED IT ABOUT A MILE INTO MY MORNING DRIVE TO WORK WITH NO OTHER CARS AROUND AND ONLY DOING 30MPH. THE WINDSHIELD IN THIS CAR IS NOT ONLY VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE BUT IT ALSO POSSES A SAFETY ISSUE AND IN MANY STATES YOU CAN BE TICKETED FOR IT BEING CRACKED. THIS FORM WON'T ALLOW ME TO UPLOAD A PICTURE, JUST A PDF BUT I DO HAVE PICTURES OF THE CRACK. I PERSONALLY KNOW 1 AND HAVE FOUND AT LEAST 20 OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE WITHOUT LOOKING HARD

MY BACKUP CAMERA SEEMS TO BE DISPLAYING THE SAME ISSUES THAT ENDED UP IN THE 2019 NISSAN ALTIMA BEING RECALLED. IT WAS WORKING CORRECTLY. NOW, WHENEVER I SHIFT INTO REVERSE, IT SHOWS A BLANK SCREEN ONLY FOR THE BACKUP CAMERA. ALL MY OTHER CAMERAS ARE OPERATING FINE. THE REAR SONAR STILL WORKS, BUT THE BACKUP CAMERA WILL NOT DISPLAY ANY IMAGES. I HAVE CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CAMERA IS STILL WHERE IT SHOULD BE, AND IT IS. I'VE TRIED SHUTTING DOWN MY VEHICLE, EXITING AND LOCKING PROPERLY AND THEN RE-ENTERING AND STARTING UP THE VEHICLE BEFORE TESTING THE BACKUP CAMERA. STILL NO IMAGE.

MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED IN OCTOBER 2020. BOUGHT IT IN AUGUST 2020 AND MY SISTER AND MOTHER BOTH OWN NISSANS(SENTRA AND ROUGE). BOTH WINDSHIELDS ARE CRACKED.

DURING A SNOW STORM A COUPLE WEEKS AGO IN COLORADO MY 2020 NISSAN ALTIMA'S FORWARD COLLISION ADAS KICKED IN LOCKING UP MY BREAKS CAUSING ME TO SLIDE INTO A CURB AND NEARLY REAR END ANOTHER VEHICLE ALSO CAUSING ALIGNMENT ISSUE'S AND PROBLEMS WITH THE TRACTION SYSTEM. DUE TO LOCKING THE BRAKES THIS ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED. IT WAS ON A CITY STREET WHILE I WAS IN MOTION HOWEVER THE FORWARD COLLISION KICKED IN WAY EARLY AND SLAMMED THE BRAKES WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN COLD AND WET ROAD CONDITIONS. THERE IS A STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY ISSUE NEAR THE CARS SUSPENSION WHERE A ROD IS ROUNDED AT THE ENDS, BUT FLAT IN THE CENTER AND WHEN THE COLLISION WITH CURB HAPPENED IT BENT THAT BAR AT THE FLAT PART CAUSING THE ALIGNMENT ISSUE. THIS ACCIDENT ALSO CAUSED MY CAR TO LIFT OFF THE GROUND ABOUT 6 INCHES AND TO DRIVE STRAIGHT REQUIRED ME TO TAKE ONE WHOLE LANE OF TRAFFIC AND TURN MY STEERING WHEEL 90 DEGREES TO STAY STRAIGHT AND ON THE ROAD. THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR THIS SYSTEM TO REACT AS IS DID AS IF IT DID NOT REACT I HAD PLENTY OF TIME AND SPACE AND WOULDN'T HAVE WRECKED. THE SPEED LIMIT IN THE AREA IS 15MPH AND I WAS GOING NO MORE THAN 10MPH DUE TO THE SNOW AND FROZEN ROADS. THIS HAS GIVEN ME MIGRAINES AND I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY WRISTS, NECK, BACK AND RIBS DUE TO THE WHIPLASH CAUSED AS THE CAR ENDED UP SPEEDING UP HEADING INTO THE CRASH DUE TO THE ABRUPT HARD SLAM OF THE BRAKES CAUSED BY THE FORWARD COLLISION ON ICY ROADS. THE IMAGES ATTACHED ARE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WHEEL.

CONTINENTAL PRO CONTACT TIRE: NON-ROAD HAZARD TIRE SIDEWALL FAILURE ON BARELY WORN TIRE, POTENTIALLY LEADING TO LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND/OR VEHICLE ROLLOVER. TIRE CONCERN WAS INITIALLY INDICATED WITH A MILD (~26 PSI) LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING. AFTER STOPPING TO INSPECT, NO DEBRIS OR OTHER INDICATION OF PUNCTURE WAS NOTED, SO PRESSURE WAS ADDED TO RETURN TO FACTORY SETTINGS. HOWEVER, HOURS LATER AND AT HIGHWAY SPEED, LOW TIRE PRESSURE INDICATION RETURNED (TO A SIMILAR LOW VALUE IN THE MID-20'S, FOLLOWED WITHIN MINUTES BY SUDDEN PRESSURE DROP AND TIRE DISINTEGRATION. VEHICLE CONTROL WAS COMPROMISED DUE TO SUDDEN TIRE FAILURE. UPON TIRE REMOVAL AT SIDE OF FREEWAY, I NOTED THAT THE INTERIOR TIRE SIDEWALL WAS MISSING SUBSTANTIAL CHUNKS OF RUBBER, A CLASSIC "BLOW OUT." THE NEXT DAY A VERY CAREFUL INSPECTION BY LOCAL DISCOUNT TIRE STORE REVEALED ABSOLUTELY ZERO INDICATION OF PRE-FAILURE PRESSURE LOSS: NO NAIL OR OTHER DEBRIS PUNCTURES IN ANY PART OF THE REMAINING TIRE, AND ZERO/NO INDICATION OF PRIOR LOW-PRESSURE OPERATION (WHICH COULD LEAD TO TIRE OVERHEATING AND SUBSEQUENT FAILURE). STRONGLY SUSPECT EITHER A MAJOR CONSTRUCTION OR MATERIAL DEFECT WAS LIKELY CAUSE OF THIS HAZARDOUS AND NEARLY SPONTANEOUS TIRE FAILURE, ON A TIRE MOUNTED ON A NEW CAR UNDER A YEAR OLD, AND WITH MINIMAL TIRE WEAR. UPON SUBMISSION OF THIS COMPLAINT I WILL CONTACT DISCOUNT TIRE AND REQUEST TIRE BE RETAINED FOR SUBMISSION/INSPECTION, IF DESIRED; PLEASE ADVISE PROMPTLY IF YOU'D LIKE TO INSPECT THE TIRE.

I WAS IN A NISSAN ALTIMA WITH THREE PASSENGERS, TWO IN THE BACK SEATS AND ONE IN THE FRONT SEAT. WHEN IN THE PROCESS OF TURNING LEFT SOMEONE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE. BOTH THE FRONT SEATS BROKE AT THE HINGE PUSHING THE SEATS BACK INTO THE BACKSEAT PASSENGERS. THIS RESULTED IN MINOR INJURIES TO THEM; SCRAPS ON LEG AND HEAD, BLOODY NOSE AND BRUISED TEETH. IF THE SEATS HAD NOT FAILED, THESE MINOR INJURIES WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURED. IT IS ALSO UNCLEAR HOW NECK ISSUES ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS WERE EXACERBATED. MY VEHICLE WAS MOVING SLOW AND WAS NOT YET AT A FULL STOP. IT WAS ON A RURAL TWO LANE ROAD. THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 50 MPH.*DT

POPPING NOISE HEARD FROM LUMBAR AREA OF PASSENGER SEAT BACK. DEALERSHIP SAID THE SOUND IS INSIDE THE SEATBACK AND IS FROM THE SHIFTING OF THE SPRINGS. THEY SAID THEY TESTED THREE OTHER 2020 NISSAN ALTIMA SEATS AND THEY ALL HAD THE SOUND WHEN PRESSED AGAINST OR WHILE SITTING IN AND MOVING FORWARD AND BACK AGAINST THE LUMBAR PART OF THE SEAT. THEY SAID IT'S NORMAL. IT'S AN ANNOYANCE. NO REASON WHY A 2020 BRAND NEW CAR SHOULD HAVE A POPPING SOUND FROM SPRINGS EVERYTIME SOMEONE SITS IN IT, MOVES THERE BACK AGAINST THE SEAT OR SIMPLY TOUCHES THE BACK REST WITH THEIR HAND.

JUST PURCHASED MY CAR 2 MONTHS AGO, AND I'M STARTING TO SEE CHIPS/CRACK ON THE TOP OF THE WINSHIELD. I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING OR ANY DEBRI. I BELEIVE THIS IS A DEFECT. I AM GOING TO SEE THE DEALERSHIP, AND SEE WHAT THEY TELL ME.

AS A TRUE AND FAITHFUL CUSTOMER OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS, I'M FINALLY THROWING IN THE TOWEL IN REGARDS TO MY RECENT 2020 NISSAN ALTIMA SR. WITH ONLY 7500 PRECIOUS MILES, THIS CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER FIVE TIMES NOW, WITHIN A SIX MONTH PERIOD. CONSTANT AND REOCCURRING ISSUE'S PERTAINING TO THE VEHICLES STEERING WHEEL SHAKING, WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND TIRE BALANCING NEVER COMPTED BY NISSAN OF BAYSHORE. I'VE BEEN SUFFERING PHYSICAL AND MENTAL INSTABILITY FROM WORK RELATED DUTIES, AND THIS WAS THE LAST THING I NEEDED. A VEHICLE THATS UNRELIABLE AND POTENTIALLY POORLY MANUFACTURED. I'M GOING ON MY SECOND WINDSHIELD WITHIN THREE MONTHS NOW, AND THIS TIME THEY WON'T WARRANT ANY REPAIR. SO I'M STUCK FOOTING THE BILL, EITHER WAY I'M PAYING. WHETHER IT'S MY INSURANCE RATES GOING UP, OR HAVING TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. THAT'S INSANE NOW, COME ON! SEE IT FOR WHAT IT REALLY IS, THE VEHICLE IS UN-OPERABLE, AND UN-RELIABLE. AND DUE TO MY INJURIES, THIS DOESN'T PROVIDE RESONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR MY DISABILITIES. I'LL HAVE TO CONFER WITH MY LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE, IN REGARDS TO THIS MATTER. UNLESS YOU CAN MAKE THINGS RIGHT BY ME, AND WE CAN CONTINUE TO DO BUSINESS TOGETHER LEGITIMATELY. NOT LIKE THE CHARADES, THAT GOES ON AT NISSAN OF BAYSHORE. BY FAR THE WORST EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD WITH THE LEASE OF A NEW VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY DURING THESE DIFFICULT TIMES. I'M SURE ANY OTHER CAR MANUFACTURER WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MY BUSINESS, AND ACCEPT MY MONEY WITH NO PROBLEMS. YOU PEOPLE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES FOR PUTTING ME THROUGH THIS CONTROVERSY. YOUR OWN REPRESENTATIVES, CAN'T HANDLE THE SITUATION, JUST KEEP TAKING IT IN, AND WE'LL FIX IT! INSTEAD OF PROCRASTINATING, JUST REPLACE THE VEHICLE ALREADY, SO I CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH MY LIFE. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND COOPERATION AT THIS TIME.

CAR RATTLES WHEN GOIN OVER POT HOLES COULD BE A RECALL FROM A 2013 NISSAN CAUSE THAT CAR RATTLED

FIRST MY WINDSHIELD SHATTERED FROM A SMALL PEBBLE, NO BIGGIE, WELL TODAY MY SUNROOF BLEW AND HUGE WHOLE AND FLEW OFF
