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.

Air bags, sensor, occupant classificationDec 19, 2016
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.

Air bags, sensor, occupant classificationApr 26, 2016
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF, Sentra, and Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60, QX60 Hybrid, and Q50 Hybrid, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue and Infiniti Q50, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Murano Hybrid, and Chevrolet City Express, 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid, and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. 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. Interim notices were sent to owners on May 31, 2016. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available.

Latches/locks/linkages, hood, latchJan 22, 2016
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Nissan Altima vehicles manufactured March 6, 2012, to December 31, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the secondary hood latch may bind and remain in the unlatched position when the hood is closed.
If the primary latch is inadvertently released and the secondary latch is not engaged, the hood could unexpectedly open while driving, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
These vehicles were previously included in recalls 14V-565 and 15V-116, however the previous remedy plan may not have been performed consistently to remove the safety risk. To correct this issue, Nissan will re-notify all affected owners and dealers will replace the hood latch with a new one, free of charge. The recall began on February 17, 2016. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261. Note: This recall supersedes recalls 14V-565 and 15V-116.

Air bags, frontalOct 20, 2015
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.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will update the OCS software, free of charge. The recall began on November 30, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

In the affected vehicles, due to an improperly installed o-ring that may not have been seated correctly at the time of assembly, fuel may leak during a crash from the area where the fuel sending unit attaches to the fuel tank.
If fuel leaks from between the fuel sending unit and the tank, it may increase the risk of a fire in the event of a crash.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will install a retainer ring between the fuel tank and the fuel sending unit. The recall began on September 28, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

VEHICLE HAS TERRIBLE VISIBILITY AT NIGHT WHEN IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE HAS AN INFERIOR HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, CAUSING YOU TO DRIVE NEARLY BLIND AND TO ALMOST RELY ON THE NEXT VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU TO PROVIDE YOU A PATH. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE HEADLIGHT BULBS THAT WERE THE ISSUE. I HAD CHANGED THEM OUT AND IT ONLY IMPROVED VISIBILITY EVER SO SLIGHTLY. I WAS TOLD BY THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT IT IS DUE TO THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY FREQUENTLY GOING BAD. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS FAIRLY COMMON FOR THE REFLECTIVE PART OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY TO GO CLOUDY AND GO DIM. THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE THIS WAS CONSIDERED STANDARD WEAR AND TEAR, THEREFORE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. THEY RECOMMENDED ME TO REPLACE THE WHOLE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY FOR OVER A GRAND. I WAS EVEN RECOMMENDED TO BUY THEM AFTER MARKET TO SAVE, HOWEVER, THIS SHOULD NOT EVEN BE AN ISSUE! THIS ISSUE PRESENTED ITSELF AFTER OWNING IT FROM NEW FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT NISSAN IS REFUSING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF ISSUE WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED. THIS IS A HAZARD AND CAN CERTAINLY CAUSE SAFETY HAZARDS FOR THE DRIVER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED, BUT THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND STOPPED. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SAN LEANDRO NISSAN (1152 MARINA BLVD, SAN LEANDRO, CA 94577, (510) 826-1462) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 37771869. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

I WAS TRAVELING AROUND 70MPH ON A BUSY INTERSTATE WHEN I HEARD A LOUD SOUND, SIMILAR TO A SHOTGUN BLAST. I THEN IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO HEAR GLASS SHATTERING. IT WAS THEN THAT I REALIZED MY SUNROOF WAS LITERALLY SHATTERING INTO MILLIONS OF PIECES.

REGULAR (LOW BEAM) HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM, DESPITE ME CLEANING THE EXTERIOR OF THE HEADLIGHTS AND REPLACING THE BULBS. YESTERDAY IN NORTH RALEIGH, NC, I RAN OVER A LOW CONCRETE DIVIDER SEPARATING THE MAIN TRAFFIC LANES AND A TURN LANE, BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE IT AT ALL. THE DIMNESS SEEMS TO BE PARTICULARLY BAD FOR PERIPHERAL LIGHTING (WHICH MAKES SENSE GIVING MY EXAMPLE ABOVE, CHANGING FROM ONE LANE TO ANOTHER, AND NOT SEEING THE CONCRETE DIVIDER AT ALL). FROM RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLINE, THIS PROBLEM SEEMS VERY COMMON AMONG 2013-2015 ALTIMA OWNERS - APPARENTLY THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY'S PROJECTION SYSTEM DEGRADES OR WEARS OUT.

THE REAR ARM RODS RUSTED OUT AND SNAPPED OFF WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD
Power train, Engine, Oct 20, 2019
THE VEHICLE STALLS WHEN PULLING FROM A STOP SIGN OR STOPLIGHT. THE VEHICLE RESTARTS WITHOUT ISSUE THEN WILL STALL AGAIN WHEN ENGAGING INTO GEAR. THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED ALSO WITH THE CAR TURNING COMPLETELY OFF. AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR RESTARTED WITHOUT ISSUE AND WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE OFF THE ROAD. AT A STOPLIGHT, IT STALLED AGAIN IN THE INTERSECTION. RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE SIMILAR TO MY COMPLAINT. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I DON'T THINK I WILL DRIVE IT AGAIN.

I HAVE A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. ONE MORNING AFTER HAVING DROVE ABOUT 15 MILES ON THE CITY STREET, TURNING MY CAR OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES, MY CAR STARTED SHUTTING OFF WHEN PUT IN DRIVE. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED. MY MECHANIC CALLED NISSAN AND GAVE THEM THE FAILURE CODE. HE WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER. IT WAS LOCKED AND SO THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I'VE BEEN READING UP ON THIS AND OTHER COMPLAINTS. NISSAN ISSUED A RECALL ON THE CVT REPROGRAMMING, BUT I THINK THEY KNOW THAT THERE IS MORE WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS THEY INSTALLED THESE CARS THAN THAT. REPROGRAMMING THE CVT IS SIMPLE FOR THEM, IT'S JUST A SOFTWARE UPGRADE. NOW I'M FINDING OUT THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS FAILING (LOCKING UP) ON THOUSANDS OF CARS. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE REPAIRS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE'S RPMS SURGED WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NALLEY NISSAN OF ATLANTA (2551 THE NALLEY WAY, ATLANTA, GA 30360, (678) 825-6749) WHERE THE FAILURES WERE LINKED TO SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: NTV15-102 AND RELATED TO THE CVT; HOWEVER, THE DEALER HAD YET TO DETERMINE IF THE DEFECTS WERE RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION OR THE ENGINE VALVE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. * BF*JB

BOUGHT A USED 2014 ALTIMA FROM HENDRICK CHEVY IN MERRIAM KANSAS. TRANSMISSION FAILED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND DID NOT GIVE ANY INDICATION VIA CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR FAILURE CODES. ACCELERATION WAS SEVERELY DELAYED FROM A STOP NEARLY CAUSING ME TO WRECK WHEN THROTTLE REAPONSE AND ACCELERATION WAS NEAR ZERO.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS BECAME EXTREMELY DIM OVER TIME. MY ALTIMA CURRENTLY REGISTERS 135,000 MILES. I DID NOT NOTICE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I DRIVE THE VEHICLE DAILY. HOWEVER MY WIFE, WHO DOES NOT DRIVE IT REGULARLY, HAS MENTIONED THE DIMNESS TO ME ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. INITIALLY I BELIEVED THE PROBLEM RESTED WITH THE BULBS; HOWEVER, REPLACING THOSE DID NOT IMPROVE LIGHT BRIGHTNESS. AFTER AN ONLINE SEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE DUE TO HEAT INDUCED CLOUDING OF THE PROJECTOR LENS. NEITHER HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. I BELIEVE THAT SUCH EQUIPMENT IS DURABLE IN NATURE AND THAT, UNLESS DAMAGED, SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. FINALLY, I'VE NOTICED THAT TH PROBLEM IS SO SEVERE THAT LOW BEAM LIGHT FROM VEHICLES BEHIND ME CAST MORE LIGHT THAN MY OWN LOW BEAMS. INDEED I CAN EASILY SEE THE SHADOW OF MY VEHICLE WHICH IS CASTED FROM THE LOW BEAMS OF THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY PROBLEM FOR ME, OTHER DRIVERS, PEDESTRIANS, ETC. IT DESERVES THE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION OF THE NHTSA. THIS PROBLEM IS AN ISSUE AT NIGHT TIME, PARTICULARLY WHEN IN MOTION SINCE REACTION TIME MAY BE INSUFFICIENT TO AVERT AND ACCIDENT OR INCIDENT

THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDS RECALLED ASAP! I NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS APPEARED MUCH DIMMER SO I REPLACED THE BULBS TWICE BUT IT ISN'T A PROBLEM WITH THE BULB. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU GET BETTER BULBS, THE HEADLIGHT PROJECTOR WILL NOT PROJECT LIGHT FORCING YOU TO DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON. IT IS DANGEROUS! MY SON WAS PULLED OVER DRIVING MY CAR ONE NIGHT BECAUSE THE OFFICER SAID IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE HE HAD HEADLIGHTS AND ADVISED HIM TO DRIVE WITH THE BRIGHT HIGH BEAM LIGHTS ON. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS THAT LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT NISSAN IS DOING NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM! I'VE ALWAYS BOUGHT NISSANS BUT ALL THE ISSUES I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE! THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT I HAVE DEALT WITH NOW FOR TWO YEARS AND SINCE NISSAN WON'T ISSUE A RECALL, I'M FORCED TO PURCHASE NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY'S FOR THE CAR.

RANDOMLY THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE EVEN AFTER PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. EVENTUALLY IT WILL SLOWLY START TO ROLL AND GET GOING AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A MECHANIC SHOP SEVERAL TIMES AND NO ISSUES HAVE BEEN FOUND. THIS HAPPENS AFTER COMING TO A STOP, AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. HASN'T MADE A DIFFERENCE WHETHER ON FLAT GROUND OR A HILL. THE VEHICLE WILL GO WEEKS WITHOUT AN ISSUE, AND THEN RANDOMLY START/STOP AGAIN. SOME WEEKS IT HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY. SOME TIMES IT STARTS TO ACT THIS WAY UPON START UP AND OTHER TIMES I COULD BE TRAVELING FOR A LITTLE WHILE, STOP AT A LIGHT, AND TRY TO TAKE OFF AND NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE TRIED TO ACCELERATE ON A RIGHT HAND TURN AFTER STOPPING AND THE VEHICLE WON'T ACCELERATE. THIS HAS LEAD TO US ALMOST GETTING PLOWED INTO. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS ISSUE WITH NO SOLUTION, AS TO NO MECHANIC HAS BEEN ABLE TO SEE ANY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE.

THE LOW BEAMS ARE NOT FULLY ILLUMINATING WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE LIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. SO DIM, YOU ARE UNABLE TO SEE THE ROAD.
Exterior lighting, Sep 21, 2019
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROJECT LIGHT ONTO THE ROAD MAKING A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD FOR DRIVERS. THE MIRROR REFLECTORS INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY ARE BURNED AND CORRODED MAKING THE LOW BEAM LIGHT INEFFECTIVE. FROM THE DRIVER SEAT YOU CANNOT SEE ANY LIGHT ON THE ROADWAY, AND HAVE TO USE THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS JUST TO SEE WHAT IS IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS REALLY EVIDENT ON ROADWAYS WITH NO STREET LIGHTS AS IT FEELS LIKE DRIVING WITH THE LIGHTS OFF ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TRIED NEW BULBS, HIGHER INTENSITY BULBS, AND LEDS WITH NO SUCCESS. MY ONLY OPTION IS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AT A SUBSTANTIAL EXPENSE ON A VEHICLE WHICH IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD.
