THIS NISSAN ALTIMA WAS PURCHASED NEW IN SEPT 2011. SINCE THE PURCHASE, WE HAVE NOTICED AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF ROCK CHIPS IN THE PAINT. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY DRIVEN IN TOWN AND VERY RARELY ON THE HIGHWAYS. NOW THE CLEAR COAT IS PEELING ON THE ROOF WHERE THERE ARE NO CHIPS. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO RESOLVE THIS WITH NISSAN AND THEY BLAME IT ON NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THERE ARE EVEN CHIPS ON THE SIDES OF THE CAR WHERE IT'S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR A ROCK TO IMPACT. *TR

COMPUTER DOES NOT DETECT FRONT SIDE PASSENGER (ADULT) WHO WEIGH LESS THAN 125 POUNDS AND HENCE AIRBAGS ARE NOT ACTIVATED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, BEFORE THE COMPUTER FINALLY DETECTS AN OCCUPANT. NISSAN CLAIMS THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE AND THE WEIGHT IS SET BY FEDERAL REGULATIONS AND THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WITH THE NUMBER OF ADULT US POPULATION LESS THAN 125 POUNDS BEING HIGH, THIS PRESENTS A GRAVE SAFETY RISK ESPECIALLY IN THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING. *TR

MY VEHICLE DID NOT RECOGNIZE THE IKEY, AND WOULD NOT START LEAVING ME STRANDED. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS (ALL DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS) AND IS GETTING WORSE. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY REPLACED THE KEY BATTERIES THINKING THAT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM IT IS NOT. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT I MIGHT BE IN THE PARKING LOT AFTER WORK LATE AT NIGHT AND NOT BE ABLE TO STAR/DRIVE MY VEHICLE. BEING A YOUNG ADULT FEMALE THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN OF MINE. *TR

Power train, Jan 31, 2012, crash
MY 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S ACCELERATES SLOWLY WHEN TURNING FROM A STOP. I MADE A LEFT TURN AGAINST ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE ONCOMING CAR WAS ABOUT 200 FT AWAY. I PRESSED THE ACELLERATOR HARD. THE CVT TRANSMISSION FELT LIKE IT DISENGAGED.THE ENGINE REV'ED BUT THE TIRES DIDN'T SPIN. THE ONCOMING CAR MUST HAVE LOCKED HIS BRAKES AS I WAS HIT IN THE REAR QUARTER PANEL. THEIR WERE NO INJURIES. I HAD ONLY HAD THIS CAR THREE MONTHS AT THE TIME. I FEEL THE CVT TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE RECALLED AS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE TO POST PROBLEM WITH THE CVT. *TT
Electrical system, Jan 27, 2012
BOUGHT VEHICLE NEW 14 MONTHS AGO AND THE BATTERY ALREADY HAD TO BE REPLACED. AT MY EXPENSE. DEALER SERVICE INFORMED ME MAY HAVE TROUBLE IF NOT REPLACED. I WROTE NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THE FOLLOWING: "NISSAN IS NOT IN THE POSITION TO PROVIDE VEHICLE SERVICE CONTRACT COVERAGE OR WARRANTY COVERAGE. NISSAN DEPENDS ON ITS NISSAN DEALERS TO PROVIDE ANY AND ALL WARRANTY COVERAGE CONCERNS AS THEY ARE IN THE BEST POSITION TO ASSESS THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINE WHETHER A PART IS WARRANTY OR NOT. WE RECOMMEND YOU CONTINUE TO COORDINATE WITH YOUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALER??S SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITH ANY WARRANTY INQUIRIES. " SINCE NISSAN ITSELF WILL NOT PROPERLY LOOK INTO THE SITUATION I WILL NO LONGER PURCHASE A NISSAN AND THEY HAVE LOST A LOYAL CUSTOMER SINCE 1972. *TR

I OWN A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE 2.5 AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION. WHEN I COME TO A STOP, I PUSH THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TOTHE FLOOR AND EXPERIENCE VERY LITTLE SPEED THEN IT ACCELERATES THEREAFTER. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WHERE THERE ARE VEHICLES BEHIND ME AT A STOP THEN WHEN ITS TIME TO ACCELARATE MY VEHICLE TAKES TIME TO ACCELARATE ALMOST CAUSING REAR END ACCIDENTS. *TT
Power train, Jan 20, 2012
WHEN AT A STOP AND STARTING TO ACCELERATE, IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE POWER TRAIN SHIFTS IMMEDIATELY FROM LOW OR 1ST GEAR TO HI AND THEN VEHICLE STARTS TO LUNGE AND BUCK. ALSO, HAS LITTLE ACCELERATION CAPACITY WHEN THIS HAPPENS. *TT
Power train, Jan 17, 2012
WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN PRESSED THE GAS. THE CAR MOVED VERY SLOW THEN SPED UP VERY FAST THEN SLOWED DOWN AGAIN. I FEEL THIS CAR IS VERY UNSAFE. I HAVE READ COUNTLESS SAME ISSUES WITH OTHER PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET. IF NISSAN DOES NOT RECALL THIS CAR IT WILL KILL THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OVER THE COMING YEARS. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP SAVE THEM. *TR

AFTER DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR SEVERAL HOURS , THEN EXITING AND COMING TO A FULL STOP, THE AUTO WILL BARELY MOVE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE WHEN GIVEN GAS. THIS HAS CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ME WHEN CARS COME UP BEHIND AND EXPECT ME TO PULL OUT. I CAN ONLY GO AT 2-5 MPH UNTIL THE CVT TRANSMISSION FINALLY ALLOWS THE CAR TO GO AT NORMAL SPEED LEVELS. NISSAN SERVICE ADVISOR IN FLORIDA, MY DESTINATION, TOLD ME IT WAS A " COMPUTER GLITCH" WHERE THE COMPUTER WAS FOOLED INTO BELIEVING THE CAR WAS STILL IN HIGHWAY SPEED GEAR AND WHICH HAD NO FIX. *KB
Power train, Nov 27, 2011
AFTER A HARD APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES (ABS ACTIVATES) AND STOP, THE VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE AT A NORMAL RATE OF SPEED. PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR DOES NOT INCREASE THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A DELAY BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE NORMALLY. NISSAN REPORTS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION OR THE BRAKES. THE PROCESS OCCURS EVERYTIME AFTER THE ABS IS ACTIVATED AND RAPID ACCELERATION IS ATTEMPTED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING NORMAL SPEED LIMIT 60 MPH ON THE FWY WHEN WE HEARD A NOISE LIKE A BIG POP SOUND. RIGHT AWAY WHEN I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN TO GET OVER ( WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE) THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN SHAKING SO BAD THAT I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE WHEEL. IT FELT AS IF THE BRAKES WEREN'T WORKING. THE CAR SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND CRASHED IN THE CARPOOL DIVIDER. THIS WAS A BRAND NEW NISSAN ALTIMA 2010 COUPE WITH 60K MILES ON THE CAR. WE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AT THE TIME OR EVEN BEFORE THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED, ALL PARTS ON THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW. I REMEMBERED THAT THE MORE THAT I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES THE STEERING WHEEL SHOCK HARDER AND HARDER TO WHERE I WAS UNABLE TO EVEN CONTROL IT. *TR

MY 2010 ALTIMA 2.5S HAS POOR ACCELERATION AFTER COMING TO A STOP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING LEFT HANDED TURNS IN FRONT OF ON-COMING TRAFFIC. I WOULD PRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE QUICKLY, IT'S ALMOST LIKE A HESITATION OR BOGG. THIS ISSUE IS WORSE WHEN THE A/C IS ON. NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL, BUT THEY REALLY NEED TO, BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY OTHER NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. I ALSO OWN A 95 ALTIMA AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE LIKE THIS, QUITE FRANKLY I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND CONCERNED WITH MY 2010 ALTIMA PURCHASE BECAUSE OF THIS POOR ACCELERATION ISSUE. *TR

ON JUNE 26TH,WE LEFT THE HOUSTON AREA ON AN OUT OF TOWN TRIP. AT THE HALFWAY POINT WE EXITED 1-10 AT SCHULENBERG TEXAS AFTER DRIVING FOR APPROX.100 MILES. AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AT A NORMAL RATE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RESPONDING AND DIDN'T HAVE SUFFICIENT POWER TO SAFELY MOVE THRU THE INTERSECTION. I FURTHER DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND COULD HEAR THE ENGINE REVVING BUT FELT LITTLE MOVEMENT FROM THE VEHICLE. IT FELT AS IF THE CAR WAS STUCK IN HIGH GEAR. WE SLOWLY GAINED SPEED AND EVENTUALLY MOVED TO A PARKING LOT WHERE THE CAR CAME TO A STOP;NOT WILLING TO MOVE BEYOND THAT PARKING SPACE. AFTER ALLOWING TO VEHICLE TO COOL FOR AN HOUR, IT ACCELERATED 1-TIME AT IT'S NORMAL RATE BUT SOON RETURNED TO IT'S EARLIER CONDITION. WE ALLOWED IT TO SIT FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS AND DECIDED TO GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY. THE CAR MOVED OFF IN A NORMAL WAY, WE DECIDED SINCE IT WAS UNDERWAY AND BECAUSE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE, WE DECIDED TO RETURN HOME VIA ALL FREEWAY,TRYING NOT TO STOP ANYWHERE. ON JUNE 28,2011 WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN ANGLETON TX. THE SERVICE DEPT. CLAIMED THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAD TOO MUCH OIL (HALF QUART) IN IT FROM THE FACTORY WHICH CAUSES THEM TO OVERHEAT WHICH CAUSES THE CONDITION WE EXPERIENCED. THE DEALER STATED THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS (CVT TRANSMISSION). THE DEALER STATED THERE IS NO RECALL. THE PROBLEM GIVES NO WARNING WHICH LEFT US PULLING SLOWLY UNABLE TO ACCELERATE WITH FAST MOVING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED US OF THIS PROBLEM AND DONE A SELF IMPOSED RECALL. I AM NOT CONVINCED OF NISSAN'S CLAIM OF "TOO MUCH OIL" AS THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR DID THIS BRIEFLY ONCE BEFORE WHILE MOVING VERY SLOWLY IN A PARKING LOT BUT NEVER DID IT AGAIN UNTIL JUNE 26 TH 2011. *TR

I OWN A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA SL AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION FOLLOWING LONG HIGHWAY TRIPS. WHEN I EXIT THE FREEWAY AND COME TO A STOP, I CAN PUSH THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND EXPERIENCE VERY LITTLE SPEED. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND BOTH TIMES THEY STATE THAT THEY CAN'T "RECREATE THE PROBLEM". THE PROBLEM IS THAT THEY WON'T DRIVE IT LONG ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NO ISSUES WITH DRIVING SHORT OR MODERATE DISTANCES, ONLY LONG HIGHWAY TRIPS. I HAVE ONCE AGAIN RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I REFUSE TO PICK IT UP UNTIL THEY RECREATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY FACTOR BECAUSE WE WERE ALMOST INVOLVED IN A COLLISION LAST WEEK WHILE ON VACATION. *TR

DANGEROUS PERFORMANCE ON 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. AFTER DRIVING OVER 2 HOURS AT HIGHWAY SPEED, I HAD TO STOP FOR TRAFFIC. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE FOLLOWING THE STOP AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND THEN IT MOVED GRADUALLY AND THEN QUICKLY PICKED UP SPEED. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON THE TRIP AFTER EXTENDED DRIVING TIME. *TR
