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. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669, Infiniti customer service at 1-888-833-3216 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020.

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.

Fuel system, gasolineAug 4, 2015
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) notified the agency on July 31, 2015, that they are recalling certain model year 2016 Nissan Maxima vehicles manufactured February 10, 2015, to August 18, 2015. On October 14, 2015, Nissan expanded the recall to cover an additional 41,388 vehicles, including certain model year 2013-2015 Altima 3.5 vehicles equipped with a V6 engine manufactured March 30, 2012, to August 18, 2015 as well as the vehicles covered by the July 31, 2015 notification. 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.

Suspension, Apr 3, 2019
I WAS DRIVING IN THE PASSING LANE AT 65MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT RUSH HOUR ON THE INTERSTATE. THE RIGHT FRONT CONTROL ARM FAILED AND I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND PULL OFF THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF HIGHWAY. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALER. THE RIGHT FRONT CONTROL ARM WAS RUSTED APART AND THE LEFT ARM WAS INTACT BUT WAS ALSO HEAVILY RUSTED
Steering, Apr 2, 2019
THE STEERING WHEEL IS VERY LOOSE AND THE CAR IS HARD TO KEEP STRAIGHT. IT IS ALL OVER THE ROAD. IF YOU GET IN A GROOVE IN THE ROAD IT WILL ABOUT TAKE THE CAR AND CAUSE YOU TO LOSE CONTROL. I THOUGHT I HAD A PROBLEM SOMEWHERE ELSE BUT HAD EVERYTHING CHECKED AND IT IS THE STEERING. WHEN OTHERS RIDE WITH ME THEY ASK IF I'M OK BECAUSE OF THE CAR GOING SIDE TO SIDE. I AVOID THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE WITH SPEED INCREASE IT'S EVEN HARDER TO KEEP IN MY LANE. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM RIGHT AFTER GETTING THE CAR. TRIED TO IGNORE THINKING IT WAS ME, THAT I WAS NOT USE TO THE WAY A NISSAN HANDLED AS I HAVE NEVER OWNED ONE BEFORE. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE READ AT LEAST 16 COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER NISSAN OWNER'S WHILE ON THE INTERNET TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE.
Power train, Apr 2, 2019
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BANISTER NISSAN OF NORFOLK (1250 N MILITARY HWY, NORFOLK, VA 23502) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CVT FAILED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACEMENT AND THE CVT NEEDED REPROGRAMMING. THE NISSAN MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED IN DECEMBER OF 2018; HOWEVER, THERE WAS AN OPEN SERVICE CAMPAIGN NUMBER: PC490 (CVT REPROGRAM). THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAD NOT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF THE OPEN SERVICE CAMPAIGN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 97,000.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAM DOES NOT PRODUCE ENOUGH LIGHT TO SEE THE SIDES OF THE ROAD OR ANY OBJECT WITHIN 5 TO 10 FEET IN FRONT OF CAR. REPLACED BULB WITH UPGRADED BULBS AND IT DID NOT HELP. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I CAN'T DRIVE WHEN IT IS RAINING TO HARD TO SEE. THIS IS ONLY WITH THE LOW BEAM. THIS HAS BECOME WORSE OVER TIME. I BROUGHT THIS CAR NEW. I HAVE LESS THEN 100000 MILES.
Exterior lighting, Air bags, Mar 29, 2019
1) FRONTAL PASSENGER AIR BAG. IT ALWAYS SAYS OFF, EVEN WHEN THERE'S A PASSENGER. I'M NOT SURE WHETHER THIS IS A TAKATA INFLATOR. (THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME ALL THE TIME WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, WETHER IDLEING, DRIVE, NEUTRAL AND REVERSE) 2) HEADLIGHTS. THE HEADLIGHTS (BOTH) CONTINUALLY GET DIMMER AND DIMMER UNTIL YOU ARE UNABLE TO SEE CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. (THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME ALL THE TIME WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, WETHER IDLEING, DRIVE, NEUTRAL AND REVERSE)I HAVE HAD OR CHANGED MY LIGHT BULB(S) AT LEAST (6) TIMES IN THE 16 MONTHS I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY LAW INFORCEMENT SEVERAL TIMES AND A LIVERY DRIVER I HAVE HAD CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS.
Exterior lighting, Mar 25, 2019
THE VEHICLE HAS DIM LIGHTING AND IS GETTING WORSE AS TIME GOES BY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT AND I USE THE HIGH BEAMS TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE DARK ROADWAYS AND SIGNS, WHICH CAUSES BLINDNESS TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE AND I BELIEVABLE THAT NISSAN WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OVER THIS. REPLACING BULBS DOES NOT FIX THE ISSUE NOR DOES WARRANTY COVER THE COST.
Exterior lighting, Mar 22, 2019
LOW DIM HEADLIGHTS IN FRONT OF VEHICLE. MAKES IT EXTREMELY HARD TO DRIVE VEHICLE AT NIGHT WITHOUT HIGH BEAMS.
Exterior lighting, Mar 19, 2019
THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROJECT ENOUGH LIGHT TO DRIVE SAFELY AT NIGHT. THIS ISSUE HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME FORCING THE CONSTANT USE OF HIGH BEAMS IN ORDER TO DRIVE AFTER DARK. DRIVING WITH LOW BEAMS CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE LOW BEAMS ONLY ILLUMINATE ABOUT A CAR LENGTH AND DRIVING CONSTANTLY WITH HIGH BEAMS ALSO CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD. I REPLACED THE BULBS 3 TIMES IN 3 MONTHS CHOOSING BRIGHTER BULBS EACH TIME, AS WELL AS BUYING FACTORY BULBS FROM THE NISSAN DEALER, BUT NOTHING CHANGED.

I AM ISSUING A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA DUE TO THE EXTREME DULLNESS OF HEADLIGHT POWER. NISSAN HAS FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE, AND THE FACT THAT IS INDEED A SAFETY CONCERN. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY TIMES WHERE I HAVE HAD TO SLAM ON MY BREAKS BECAUSE I NEARLY HIT A LARGE ANIMAL OR OTHER OBJECT IN THE ROAD. MY HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROJECT FAR OR WIDE.

MY CAR STARTED "SPUTTERING" AND SHUTTING OFF WHEN IN MOTION OR COMING TO A STOP. THE CAR THEN STARTED TO REV THE ENGINE BETWEEN 2-3RPM WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT A CONSTANT SPEED. WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, THE CAR REVVED PAST 4RPM AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO STOP THE CAR, BUT NO ONE SHOULD EVER HAVE TO ENDURE THAT DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC EVENT. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT MY TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT IS APPARENT THAT NISSAN HAD KNOWINGLY SOLD CARS WITH FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS THAT WOULD FAIL FAR BEFORE AN ACCEPTABLE TIME WITH MANY CONSUMERS FACING THE HIGH COST OF REPAIRING THE TRANSMISSION. AS I WAS HOPING THIS WAS A ONE-OFF SITUATION AND THAT NO ONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A FREQUENT COMPLAINT FOR THE NISSAN ALTIMA 2014. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AND EXTEND THEIR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY TO 120,000 MILES OR 10 YEARS AS THEY HAVE FOR THEIR CAR MODELS FROM 2003-2010.
