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.

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.

THE LOW BEAM ON MY ALTIMA 2014 SV 4CY. 2.5L, IS TOTALLY INADEQUATE. THERE IS MINIMAL VISIBILITY AT NIGHT WITH LOW BEAM, CREATING A VERY HAZARDOUS PROBLEM ON THE ROADWAY. THIS IS NOT A UNIQUE PROBLEM ON MY ALTIMA, IT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM ON MOST OF THE 2013, 2014, 2015, ETC. MODELS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PRODUCTION PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN ALTIMA. CHANGING BULBS TO A HIGHER QUALITY HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM AND NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAS QUOTED APPROX. $1000.00 TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I AS WELL AS OTHERS THINK THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD RECALL AND ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD..

I KNOW THESE TAKATA AIRBAGS HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED, WHY WAS MY CAR NOT INCLUDED? NISSAN DEALER STATES THAT THERE IS NO, TAKATA AIRBAGS. FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY HUSBAND. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS REPLACED AND FREE FOR CHARGE, BECAUSE OF THE HASSLE THAT I'M GOING THROUGH.

RECALL TO REPROGRAM CVT DONE 10/4/17 AT NISSAN. 12/6/17 VEHICLE BEGAN RAPIDLY DROPPING SPEED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WITHOUT ME APPLYING BRAKES. VERY DANGEROUS SINCE THERE WERE NO BRAKE LIGHTS TO ALERT OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND ME TO DECREASE SPEED. TURNED HAZARDS ON & MADE IT TO SLOW LANE, THEN SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. IT WOULDN'T GO BACK INTO DRIVE FOR 15 MINS. ONCE I COULD IT DRIVE AGAIN, IT CONTINUED TO HAVE DECREASED SPEED. AT TRAFFIC LIGHT IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE IN DRIVE & I HAD TO WAIT AWHILE BEFORE IT DID. DROVE TO MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS & THEY SAID IT SHOULD BE TAKEN TO NISSAN. HAD TO BE DRUG ONTO A FLATBED TO BE TOWED A VERY SHORT DISTANCE SINCE IT WOULD NO LONGER SHIFT INTO DRIVE, REVERSE OR NEUTRAL. SERVICE ADVISOR AT EAST CHARLOTTE NISSAN SAID IT NEEDED NEW TRANSMISSION & GAVE A $4,200 QUOTE. HE SAID THIS WAS KNOWN ISSUE WITH CVT TRANSMISSION, MANY WITH LESS THAN 30,000 MILES BUT THOSE WERE STILL UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. HAD NEW NISSAN FACTORY REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION INSTALLED (THEY SAID IT HAD TO BE A CVT BECAUSE VEHICLE WON'T TAKE ANY OTHER TRANSMISSION) WHICH ALSO FAILED AFTER JUST ONE WEEK. THEY SHIPPED & INSTALLED ANOTHER ONE & IT HAS BEEN DOING OKAY FOR 2 WKS NOW. FORUMS SIGHT MANY DRIVERS WITH SIMILAR SYMPTOMS & DANGEROUS INCIDENTS WHILE DRIVING & SAY THE 'NEW' CVTS FAIL AGAIN WHICH HAPPENED TO ME. NISSAN SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THIS DEFECTIVE TECHNOLOGY THAT'S DANGEROUS TO DRIVER SAFETY. NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR COST OF THE RECALL AS OWNERS HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO REPLACE TRANSMISSIONS, A HUGE REPAIR. IT COST ME $3,600 AND I WILL RETAIN MY COPIES. THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TECHNOLOGY, NOT JUST IN THE ALTIMA. THEY DON'T HAVE AN ALERT ON NHTSA WEBSITE TO WARN CONSUMERS AGAINST BUYING THEIR UNSAFE VEHICLES. THIS REQUEST IS TO PREVENT FATALITIES NOT THAT AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED IN MY CASE.

MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA "SL" BROKEN SEAT FRAME. THE SEAT STARTED ROCKING WHILE DRIVING. THINKING IT JUST NEEDED THE SEAT SCREWS TIGHTENED, I WAS LOOKING FOR THE SCREWS AND FOUND OUT IT WAS THE SEAT FRAME AND THIS IS NOT A UNIQUE PROBLEM BUT HAPPENS WITH NISSAN PRODUCTS. THE SEAT MAY BREAK CAUSING THE BACK SUPPORT TO UNEXPECTEDLY RECLINE WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I FOUND THIS ONLINE WHILE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT "HOW TO REPAIR NISSAN" HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/IMSVBJQGVKW .. THE PROBLEM IS NOT UNIQUE TO ALTIMA'S BUT MURANO'S AS WELL. THE ROCKING TAKES PLACE WHILE SITTING AND DRIVING. VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN BREAKING AND ACCELERATING. ALSO THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF THE DEFECTIVE SEAT, SEAT FRAME.

A FEW MONTHS BACK I TOOK MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA, 4-CYLINDER TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL THAT WAS IN CONNECTION WITH RECALL WITH THE SOFTWARE OF THE TRANSMISSION OF SOME SORT. I DID NOT RECEIVE NOTICE BUT WAS ADVISED OF THIS RECALL WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO NISAAN TO GET SERVICES FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED. SINCE HAVING THE RECALL COMPLETE MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES. AT TIMES I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR SHUDDERS AND LOSES POWER. I HAVE COME CLOSE TWICE TO AN AUTO COLLISION AS I AM SHIFTING LANES MY CAR COMPLETELY LOSES POWER AND DROPS SPEED WITHOUT MY CONTROL WITH HE RPM DROPPING DRASTICALLY BUT REGAINING WITHIN SECONDS. THE CAR JERKS AND SHUDDERS. I HAVE HAD ANOTHER FAMILY TEST AS WELL AND HAS SAID THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND SOMETHING IS WRONG. I RESEARCHED AND SEE A MULTITUDE OF COMPLAINTS IDENTICAL TO MINE TO THIS PARTICULAR YEAR AND MODEL. I AM TAKING TO THE DEALER TO HAVE DIAGNOSTIC COMPLETE AND HAVE EXPLAINED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS FINE PRIOR TO THE SOFTWARE ADJUSTMENT WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY ARE NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE ISSUES AND POSSIBLY I WILL GET STUCK WITH PAYING WHATEVER REPAIRS. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNFAIR TO THE CONSUMER HAVING TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A TRANSMISSION DEFECT THAT THOUSANDS OF NISSAN OWNERS ARE HAVING THE ISSUES AND NOTHING SEEMS TO BE DONE TO REMEDY THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE INVESTIGATION TO BE DONE ON THIS AND IN THE EVENT THAT WHILE I AM DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND THIS OCCURS CAUSING AN ACCIDENT I WILL HOLD THE MANUFACTURER AT FAULT FOR ALLOWING THIS VEHICLE TO GO UN-REPAIRED FOR A FAULTY TRANSMISSION THAT THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT AS BEING A "LEMON OF A CAR" AND "UNSAFE." THE DATE THIS ISSUE LAST OCCURRED WITH ME DRIVING MY VEHICLE WAS AROUND 8:30A.M. ON JANUARY 5, 2018.

BOTH OF MY HEADLAMPS ARE DEFECTIVE AND NISSAN HAS RECOGNIZED THIS AS A MANUFACTURE'S DEFECT BUT HAS REFUSED TO ISSUE A RECALL. THEY ARE ONLY COVERING THE PARTS AND NOT LABOR. BY ACCEPTING TO PAY PART IS AN ADMISSION OF GUILT ON NISSAN'S PART. THE NISSAN DEALER'S MECHANIC (CORAL SPRINGS NISSAN 954-753-1700)HAS ADMITTED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN THESE TYPE OF VEHICLES. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHTS WITH THE HEADLAMPS AND CAN CAUSE A VEHICULAR ACCIDENT. AN INTERNET SEARCH WILL ALSO CONFIRM THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE.

TRANSMISSION "INTERNAL FAILURE" DETERMINED BY NISSAN MECHANIC ON 3 YEAR OLD ALTIMA AND NISSAN IS USING LOOPHOLE TO GET OUT OF TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. I'M OVER ON MILES SO THEY WON'T PAY FOR IT. IT'S 3 YEARS OLD! THIS CAR STALLED ON HIGHWAY 30. I WAS TOTALLY FREAKED OUT. WHEN I TRIED TO GO IT ROLLED BACKWARDS AND ALMOST HIT THE CAR BEHIND ME. CARS WERE FLYING BY ME HONKING AND PEOPLE YELLING AT ME. THIS CAR IS THREE YEARS OLD! APPARENTLY THERE ARE MANY MORE LIKE IT OUT THERE AND NISSAN IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEM! THEY WANT $4196 TO REPLACE IT OR A NEW CAR FOR MORE PAYMENT, SALES TAX AND INSURANCE. I'M RACKING UP RENTAL CAR COSTS AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $89 FOR DIAGNOSTICS WHEN I ALREADY HAD IT DONE AND TOLD THEM IT NEEDED A TRANSMISSION! THE NISSAN CONSUMER COMPLAINT LADY, THE SERVICE GUY, THE MECHANIC AND THE SALES GUY AT SUNTRUP NISSAN ALL AGREED THAT THIS TRANS MISSION SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE OUT AT 3 YEARS OLD. THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON SOME ALTIMA'S BUT NOT ON MINE! SUNTRUP NISSAN HAS MY CAR NOW. IT WILL NOT GO AT ALL. I ASKED FOR EITHER THEY PAY FOR THE TRANS OR PUT ME IN A NEW CAR AT SAME PAYMENT EVEN WITH HIGHER INSURANCE AND SALES TAX. THEY WON'T DO EITHER AND I HAVE TO PAY THE $89 DIAGNOSTICS.
