Latches/locks/linkages, hood, latchMay 28, 2020
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2018 Nissan Altima vehicles. If the primary hood latch is inadvertently released, there is an increased likelihood that the secondary hood latch may corrode over time.
Corrosion to the secondary latch may cause it to bind and remain in the unlatched position when the hood is closed. If the primary latch is inadvertently released again and the secondary latch is not engaged, the hood could unexpectedly open while driving, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will install a stronger release spring in the hood release lever, a warning label near the secondary hood latch, and an Owners Manual addendum card with instructions on how to lubricate and maintain the secondary hood latch mechanism, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 30, 2021. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Note: Recall 16V-029 remains open for any unremedied 2013-2015 Altimas and this recall applies to all vehicles covered by 16V-029 even if those repairs have already been performed.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Altima vehicles manufactured January 3, 2013, to July 29, 2013, 2015-2016 Rogue vehicles manufactured October 14, 2014, to August 12, 2016, and 2016 Maxima vehicles manufactured June 4, 2015, to August 19, 2015. An incorrect Occupant Classification System (OCS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may have been installed in the front passenger seat. The incorrect ECU and seat combination may misclassify the front passenger seat occupant.
If the front passenger seat occupant is misclassified, the air bag may deploy incorrectly in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ECU and update the OCS software free of charge. The recall began February 13, 2017. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash.
If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury.
Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors. Dealers will reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue, and Sentra vehicles, and replace the OCS ECU in LEAF, NV200, NV200 Taxi, Pathfinder, Infiniti Q50, JX35, and QX60 and Chevrolet City Express vehicles, free of charge.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Altima and Pathfinder vehicles, 2013-2014 Nissan Sentra vehicles, 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles, 2014-2015 Infiniti QX60 vehicles and 2014 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid vehicles. The affected vehicles received an incorrect occupant classification system (OCS) control unit during a repair. These OCS control units may incorrectly classify the front passenger seat as empty, when it is occupied by an adult.
If the OCS does not detect an adult occupant in the passenger seat, the passenger air bag would be deactivated. Failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the passenger.

WHEN ENGAGING THE VEHICLE INTO GEAR THE ENGINE DIES. SERVICE TECH AT LOCAL NISSAN DEALER CONFIRMS TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION. VEHICLE HAS 65,000 MILES. NISSAN HAS HAD ISSUES WITH SIMILAR TRANSMISSIONS IN THE PAST AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 120,000 TO ASSIST OTHER CONSUMERS. DUE TO MY TRANSMISSION BEING A "GENERATION 2" IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. ALTHOUGH, OBVIOUSLY, "GENERATION 2" HAS MALFUNCTIONS AS DID "GENERATION 1".

I AM REPORTING A DANGEROUS CONDITION WITH THE 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED ON MY CAR AT 75,000 MILES WHILE DRIVING 65 - 70 MPH ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE. THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY BASED ON MILES (NOT TIME) AND I WAS DENIED COVERAGE BY NISSAN DUE TO WARRANTY EXPIRATION AND BECAUSE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED. THE TRANSMISSION HAS STUTTERED SINCE PURCHASE BUT IT SEEMED TO BE A QUIRK OF THE CAR; HOWEVER, ON DEC. 5, 2017, IT BRIEFLY WOULD NOT MOVE IN REVERSE AS MY DAUGHTER (THE PRIMARY DRIVER) BEGAN A 4-HOUR DRIVE FROM ORLANDO TO MIAMI. IT ENGAGED AND SHE CONTINUED ON HER TRIP. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE, THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. SHE WAS ABLE TO COAST THROUGH TRAFFIC TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SHE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND IT STARTED AND MOVED AGAIN. IT WAS NIGHTTIME AND NOT SAFE FOR HER TO REMAIN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE TRANSMISSION CONTINUED TO STOP SEVERAL TIMES DURING HER DRIVE AND SHE AGAIN PULLED OVER, STOPPED, THEN RESTARTED THE CAR. SHE MADE IT SAFELY TO MIAMI. THE NEXT MORNING, DEC. 6, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. ON DEC 10 THE CAR WAS TOWED BY AAA TO A NEARBY AUTO MECHANIC. ON DEC. 11 THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED AND I WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALER BECAUSE OF THE NUMEROUS REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS, INCLUDING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MODELS UP TO YEAR 2010. ON DEC. 11 IT WAS TOWED TO NISSAN AND WE ESTABLISHED A CASE WITH NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE. TODAY, DEC. 19 WE WERE INFORMED THAT NISSAN WILL NOT COVER ANY OF THE COST OF REPAIR. THE REPAIR ESTIMATE IS AT LEAST $3,700. THEY WILL REPLACE WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION, SO WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY IN THE FUTURE. WE STILL OWE ~$8,000 ON THE VEHICLE AND FEEL WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE REPAIR.

MY WARRANTY WAS GOOD UNTIL 60,000 MI AND AT 74,000 MILES, MY TRANSMISSION DIED. IT WOULDN'T GO INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE. ACCORDING TO YOUR REPORTS, NHTSA ID #10109246 THE 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA HAD CVT DELAYED ENGAGEMENT WHEN SHIFTING INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE. (THERE WERE ALSO 19 OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE POWERTRAIN.) I FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED BY NISSAN FOR THIS. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY DID NOTHING FOR ME. I SPOKE TO A GIRL NAMED SUMMER WHO IN A MECHANICAL TONE SAID TO ME "YOUR WARRANTY RAN OUT. THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO" NOTHING I SAID MADE ANY DIFFERENCE TO HER. SHE EVEN CONTACTED THE NISSAN DEALER HOWEVER SHE STILL DID NOT BUDGE AFTER HE TOLD HER ABOUT MY CASE. THIS IS A POOR REPRESENTATION OF NISSAN. THEY DON'T STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT. I WAS VERY UPSET. I'M A SINGLE MOTHER AND I HAVE TO BORROW $4000 AGAINST MY RETIREMENT ACCOUNT JUST TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PRODUCT AND PAY FOR THEIR FAULTY TRANSMISSION.

COMPLAINT: MISLEADING SERVICE INTERVAL LETTER PROMISES CVT FLUID INSPECTION - BUT THIS ISN'T DONE AND CAN'T BE DONE ON ALTIMA'S SEALED TRANSMISSION. IN OCTOBER 2017, NISSAN MAILED A GLOSSY LETTER REMINDING ME THAT MY ' 2013 ALTIMA IS DUE FOR ITS 48 MONTHS SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE '. ' INSPECT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION/CVT FLUID ' IS ONE OF 23 ITEMS LISTED IN THE LETTER FOR THE 48 MONTH SERVICE INTERVAL. THE ALTIMA WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN OF RICHMOND FOR ITS 48 MONTHS MAINTENANCE ON NOV 9, 2017. THE NEXT DAY, THE GAS PEDAL STOPPED WORKING, AND THE SHEEHY NISSAN GLEN BURNIE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS TOWED DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED BASED ON DIAGNOSTIC CODES P2813, P0776, AND P0965. THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT NEW WITH ONLY 39,848 MILES AT TIME OF BREAK DOWN. IN A FOLLOW UP PHONE CALL TO NISSAN OF RICHMOND ON NOV 20TH ' I WAS EDUCATED ON WHAT ' INSPECT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION/CVT FLUID ' MEANS: PER THE SERVICE ADVISOR ' CVT FLUID ISN'T ADDED OR CHECKED AT 48 MONTHS. BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION IN THE 2013 ALTIMA IS SEALED, 'INSPECT' SIMPLY MEANS LOOKING UNDER THE CAR TO MAKE SURE CVT FLUID IS NOT LEAKING. NO SERVICE IS DONE ON THE CVT FLUID OTHERWISE ' UNTIL 60,000 MILES. WHICH COINCIDENTALLY ' IS WHEN NISSAN'S POWERTRAIN WARRANTY ENDS FOR 2013 ALTIMAS. PARTICULARLY FRUSTRATING IS THAT PER THE SERVICE ADVISOR ' ANY CVT FLUID LEAK WOULD BE REPORTED ON THE MULTIPOINT INSPECTION REPORT CARD -- BUT THEIR COMPUTER FAILED TO ATTACH IT TO THE REPAIR ORDER IN NISSAN OF RICHMOND'S SYSTEM -- SO NO RECORD OF A REPORT CARD EXISTS IN THEIR SYSTEM. CIRCLING BACK TO THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES ' ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWS CAUSES FOR THE P2813 CODE MAY INCLUDE CONTAMINATED TRANSMISSION FLUID; CAUSES FOR THE P0776 CODE MAY INCLUDE LOW TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL AND/OR DIRTY TRANSMISSION FLUID. CAUSES FOR THE P0965 CODE MAY INCLUDE LOW OR SUBPAR TRANSMISSION FLUID.

MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA IS STALLING WHEN BEING SHIFTED INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE. THE FIRST INSTANCE THAT THIS HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING AND SLOWING DOWN AT AN INTERSECTION. THE RPM'S DROPPED, THE CAR SHOOK A LITTLE AND IT DIED. I HAD TO PUT IT INTO PARK AND RESTART. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT ABOUT 2 MILES AWAY WHEN IT DID IT AGAIN, THIS TIME ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET THANKFULLY. I TRIED ABOUT 5 TIMES AND WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE, EVERY TIME I SHIFTED IT INTO DRIVE, IT STALLED. I HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. THEY DID HOWEVER TELL ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND GAVE ME A PRINT OUT FROM A MECHANICS FORUM SHOWING MANY OTHER VEHICLES LIKE MINE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. I TRIED TO DRIVE IT FROM THE ORIGINAL SHOP TO THE NISSAN DEALER, IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AS I WAS TRYING TO TURN LEFT. I HAD TO RESTART, PUT IT IN NEUTRAL, GIVE IT GAS AND THROW IT INTO DRIVE TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. RIGHT AFTER THAT, AS I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, I CAME TO A STOP AND IT STALLED AGAIN, IT CONTINUED TO DO THIS MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN PUTTING IT INTO DRIVE. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED AGAIN, THIS TIME TO THE DEALER. THE NISSAN DEALER IS NOW TELLING ME THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND WANT ME TO PAY FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE WHEN IT SPUTTERED AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY CITY STREET,. LUCKILY A POLICEMAN WAS RIGHT BEHIND ME AND WAS ABLE TO DIVERT TRAFFIC AWAY FROM MY CAR. I TOWED THE CAR TO A NEARBY MECHANIC SHOP WHO REPLACED THE BATTERY (BECAUSE IT WAS DEAD) AND ADVISED ME THAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I DROVE THE CAR BUT THE RPMS WERE GOING UP AND DOWN AND PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT CAUSE THE CAR TO MOVE ANY FASTER, AND THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE IN A TIMELY MANNER WHEN I PUT THE CAR ON "DRIVE". I SCHEDULED A TIME WITH THE DEALER TO INSPECT THE CAR IN TWO DAYS. THAT DAY IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO GET THE CAR STARTED AND MOVING AND IT BROKE DOWN AS I ENTERED THE DEALER'S SERVICE LOT. THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED CVT TRANSMISSION WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR $3700, SINCE IT CANNOT BE REPAIRED. I TOLD THEM THAT I SEARCHED THE NISSAN WEBSITE THE NIGHT BEFORE AND THERE WAS A RECALL BY NISSAN OF THIS CAR IN DECEMBER 2016 BECAUSE THE CVT CONTROLLER HAD TO BE RE-PROGRAMMED, OTHERWISE IT WILL CAUSE EXCESSIVE WEAR AND DAMAGE TO THE CVT. THEY CLAIMED THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR THE REPROGRAMMING AND BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OVER THE WARRANTY, NOTHING WILL BE DONE FOR FREE. I TOLD THEM THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE I ALMOST GOT HIT BY TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR STALLED, THAT THEIR RECALL MENTIONED THE POSSIBLE DAMAGE, AND THAT I BECAME AWARE OF IT AFTER THE INCIDENT, BUT THAT DID NOT HELP AND ADVISED ME TO CALL NISSAN, BUT HE WOULDT. I BELIEVE THIS DEFECT WITH THE CVT PROGRAM IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FROM MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. THE CAR GAVE NO WARNING SIGNS OR ALARMS OF THE PROBLEM AND IT HAPPENED SUDDENLY. THE CVT FAILURE BEING INDIRECTLY CAUSE BY THE DEFECTIVE PROGRAMING SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY A FEDERALLY MANDATED RECALL. THIS ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. ALSO NISSAN NEVER MADE OWNERS AWARE OF THIS RECALL.

MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA, WHICH WAS PURCHASED NEW HAS HAD ISSUES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED. IN 9/2014 AT 42K MILES THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WAS REPLACED. NOW IN 9/2017 I AM BEING TOLD BY NISSAN THAT THE TRANSMISSION THAT WAS REPLACED BY THEM IN 2014 IS ALSO BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST TO ME OF $4,100.00. WHO CAN AFFORD A $4,100 REPAIR ON A VEHICLE THAT IS STILL BEING PAID FOR MONTHLY, AND WHY IS IT THE CONSUMER'S FAULT THAT NISSAN NA IS MAKING AND SELLING FAULTY, UNSAFE PRODUCTS? NISSAN NA KNOWS OF THE ONGOING ISSUES WITH THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS, BUT CHOSES TO NOTHING TO RECTIFY THE ISSUES. MY VEHICLE WILL NOT PULL AND MAKES A WHINING NOISE WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS IT THE SAME ISSUE THAT OCCURRED IN 2014. WHILE I WAS IN MOTION ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER, SPUDDER AND JERK, AND DROPPED DOWN TO ABOUT 10-15 MPH. IT WAS A HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE TO BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE TRAVELING AT 60 MPH, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN START TO LOSE SPEED. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY. THESE VEHICLES ARE UNSAFE TO BE DRIVEN. I AM IN TOTAL DISBELIEF THAT NONE OF THE AGENCIES CHARGED WITH THE PROTECTION OF CONSUMERS SAFETY AND ETHICAL TREATMENT , WILL OR HAS GOTTEN INVOLVED TO FORCE NISSAN TO STOP ENDANGERING THE WELL BEING OF THOSE OF US WHO DRIVE THESE VEHICLES. I AM A LOYAL NISSAN OWNER, WHO HAS OWNED 2 OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES. IN FACT, I CURRENTLY OWN A 1995 NISSAN MAXIMA THAT HAS NEVER HAD A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. HOW CAN A 22 YEAR OLD CAR STILL DRIVE PERFECTLY AND A 2013 NEED 2 TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENTS. SOMEONE NEEDS TO HOLD NISSAN ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS AND TREATMENT OF CONSUMERS, AS WELL AS THEIR BLATANT DISREGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF THOSE OF US WHO DRIVE AND TRANSPORT PASSENGERS IN THEIR VEHICLES EVERYDAY.

I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 4 YEARS. SINCE I HAVE HAD IT IT HAS HAD SOME SORT OF STUTTERING, HESITATION FROM WHAT SEEMS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION. SPEED, CRUISE, UPHILL DOWNHILL MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT 4-5 TIMES WITH NISSAN'S NOTHINGS EVER FINDING A THING WRONG. NOW, AFTER CONTINUED WORSENING IT FINALLY WENT OUT. WILL RUN IN EVER GEAR AT 10-15 MPH. I GUESS I PROVED MY POINT, BUT LOST THE CAR. NOW I STILL HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK TO THESE KNOW NOTHING SHADE TREE MECHANICS!
