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.

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.

TAKATA RECALL WHILE STOPPED ON A BUSY STREET WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN, I WAS REAR-ENDED BY A LARGE SUV. MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND I SUFFERED SEVERE PAIN TO MY HEAD, NECK, SHOULDERS AND BACK. MY ALTIMA WAS LATER DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS AS A RESULT OF THE ACCIDENT.

MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE JUST GOTTEN SUPER DIM THAT I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW AND OVER TIME THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT PROJECTION DIMMED OVER TIME THAT I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I REPLACED THE BULB AND THAT DIDN'T WORK. I THEN UPGRADED TO LED LIGHTING AND THE LIGHTING PROJECTION IS STILL TO DIM TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I MENTIONED IT TO MY DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND CALLED NISSAN TO REPORT THIS AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS MATTER. MY CAR HAS 72,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR OVER 2 YEARS. HEADLIGHTS DON'T LIGHT UP NO MORE THAN 15 FT WHICH IS NO GOOD WHILE DRIVING AT 55MPH.

PRIOR TO TAKING MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA TO A NISSAN SERVICE CENTER FOR A SCHEDULED ROUTINE OIL & FILTER CHANGE, MY VEHICLE WAS RUNNING PERFECTLY. THE VERY NEXT DAY AFTER I HAD MY ROUTINE OIL & FILTER CHANGE ON MY VEHICLE, MY VEHICLE STARTED HESITATING IN FIRST GEAR AND IMMEDIATELY I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER THE SAME DAY OF THE OCCURRENCE AND I EXPLAINED TO THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER REPRESENTATIVE THAT MY VEHICLE STARTED HESITATING. (THE DAY AFTER I HAD A SCHEDULED ROUTINE OIL & FILTER CHANGE). WHEN THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER DIAGNOSED MY VEHICLE I WAS TOLD MY CVT TRANSMISSION INDICATING A BAD INTERNAL SENSOR WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY $3,800 DOLLARS TO REPAIR MY CVT TRANSMISSION. I EXPLAINED TO THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER REP. MY VEHICLE WAS JUST AT THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER YESTERDAY FOR A ROUTINE OIL & FILTER CHANGE AND THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS OR WARNING SIGNS ON MY DASHBOARD THAT WOULD INDICATE A PROBLEM WITH MY TRANSMISSION. IN ADDITION TO MY VEHICLE HESITATING IN FIRST GEAR IT ALSO APPEARED NOT TO CHANGE GEARS WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOLD THE NISSAN REP THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WANTED TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE WAS TO MUCH MONEY AND THE NISSAN REP STATED MY VEHICLE IS PASS THE WARRANTY LIMIT BECAUSE I HAVE 78,000 MILE AND MY LIMIT IS 60,000 MILES TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE SERVICE REP STATED THEY CAN HAVE A SALES REP CONTACT ME TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR IF I DID NOT WANT TO PAY FOR THE TRANSMISSION REPAIR. AFTER REFUSING TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED AT THAT PRICE I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE FROM THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER AND DROVE MY VEHICLE HOME AND IT RAN FINE WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANY INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE CHANGED GEARS AND DROVE PERFECTLY. I JUST WANT TO REPORT THIS ISSUE AND TO RED FLAG THIS PROBLEM WITH MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. IF SOMEONE'S DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE PLEASE ADVISE.

NISSAN'S 2014 ALTIMA CVT TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOT SAFE AND SHOULD BE TAKEN OUT OF THE CARS. I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW IN FEBRUARY OF 2014. 1) MY FIRST TRANSMISSION DIED NOV 2016 AFTER ONLY 50K MILES. I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD, IT KEPT DYING AS SOON AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR WAS STRANDED IN STREET UNTIL A TOW TRUCK CAME. 2) THE TRANSMISSION IT GOT REPLACED WITH DOES NOT DRIVE SMOOTHLY - IT JERKS, IT GOES TO HIGH RPM'S FOR NO REASON. WHEN I AM IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, IT SEEMS TO HAVE A MIND OF IT'S OWN: WHEN I AM BRAKING, I FEEL A PULL AS IF THE CAR DOES NOT WANT TO STOP. OR SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WILL FEEL LIKE IT'S REVVING HARDER THAN I NEED IT TO (UP TO 4-5K RPMS WHEN GOING UNDER 25MPH). 3) THIS TRANSMISSION HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES AT A RED LIGHT. I WILL TRY TO ACCELERATE, AND IT WON'T MOVE. IT FINALLY BEGINS TO GO AFTER 3-5 SECONDS OF STALLING. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL IT DIES COMPLETELY, AS MY PREVIOUS TRANSMISSION DID FOR THIS CAR. 4) I WAS CRUISING ON A SIDE STREET ONCE, GOING AROUND 40-45MPH, AND SUDDENLY THE RPM'S SHOOT UP TO 4-5 FOR NO REASON (USUALLY CRUISE BETWEEN 1-2). I PUT MY FOOT COMPLETELY OFF THE GAS, AND IT WOULD NOT STOP. IT FINALLY DID AFTER ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR- ANYTIME I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, I AM WONDERING IF MY CAR IS GOING TO DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TURN, AND IF I AM GOING TO GET T-BONED. I'VE COMPLAINED TO MY DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES (TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS), AND THEY ALWAYS SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. SEARCH ONLINE AND YOU WILL SEE THE MANY COMPLAINS ABOUT NISSAN'S CVT TRANSMISSION. WITH ONLY 65K MILES ON A CAR I BOUGHT NEW, WE SHOULD NOT BE HAVING TO DEAL WITH SUCH A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. AND NISSAN WON'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE, EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THEIR TRANSMISSIONS ARE FAULTY.

PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR FAILS TO GO OFF WHEN A PASSENGER IS SITTING. NISSAN REFUSES TO ACCEPT THIS AS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL. THERE IS NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED YET BUT IT SHOULD BE REPORTED TO HENCE THIS COMPLAINT.

VEHICLE WAS AT DEALER FOR OIL CHANGE, SERVICE ADVISED THAT "RECALL" CAMPAIGN PC4900 REPROGRAM TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS PERFORMED. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR 6 DAYS AND 447 MILES, IT DIED WHILE SITTING COMPLETELY STILL, IDLING IN TRAFFIC (IN "DRIVE"). THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED SO VIOLENTLY WHEN IT DIED, I THOUGHT THAT I HAD BEEN REAR-ENDED. THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART BUT DIED IMMEDIATELY UPON ANY ATTEMPT TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE. HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER, DIAGNOSIS WAS TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE. TOTAL TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. NEVER HAD ANY MECHANICAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR UNTIL NOW.

IN AUGUST OF 2017 I WAS ABOUT TO PARK MY ALTIMA WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. EVENTUALLY, AFTER MANY ISSUES WITH A NISSAN SECURITY PLUS WARRANTY BAIT AND SWITCH ISSUE I GOT THE CVT TRANSMISSION REPLACED. I HAVE NOTICED EVEN ON THIS NEW TRANSMISSION IT STILL SHUDDERS AROUND 25 MPH FREQUENTLY.
