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.

Structure, emergency, escape/egress/exitDec 19, 2018
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Altima vehicles, previously remedied under recall number 17V-040. The door latch-lock cable may not have been routed properly in the rear door when the remedy was applied. As a result, the cable may interfere with the window regulator causing the rear passenger door to unlatch and inadvertently open without warning when the window is lowered.
If the rear passenger door opens while the vehicle is moving, the rear passengers have an increased risk of injury.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will secure the latch-lock cables in the correct position using the new remedy procedure, free of charge. The recall began February 5, 2019. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7669.

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.

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.

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.

MY HEADLIGHTS ARE GETTING DIMMER AND DIMMER. I REPLACED THE BULBS TWICE. BUT THEY ARE STILL DIMMING. NOW HAVING TO USE HIGH BEAMS ALL THE TIME.
Exterior lighting, Dec 27, 2019
LENS IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS BURNT OFF AND THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THIS PROBLEM.
Exterior lighting, Dec 27, 2019
LENS IN THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING IS BURNT OFF TO THE POINT IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. BIG SAFETY ISSUE. VERY DANGEROUS.
Exterior lighting, Dec 24, 2019
MY DIM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY LOW. DRIVING AT NIGHT IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE DIM HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE NOT REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALERSHIP AFTER VIEWING OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE AND THE FEEDBACK FROM DEALERSHIPS LESS THAN HELPFUL. I KNOW THAT HEADLIGHTS (BULBS) SHOULD BE REPLACED FROM TIME TO TIME. HOWEVER, AFTER REPLACING BULBS THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE PERFORMANCE OF THE HEADLIGHTS, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT, IS BELOW INDUSTRY STANDARDS. AS OF NOW THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO NHTSA AS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE NOT DISCOVERED ANY REAL INFORMATION FROM NHTSA, PRO OR CON, ON THIS ISSUE WHICH IS CONCERNING TO ME. I WOULD HOPE THAT DUE DILIGENCE AND FOLLOW UP TO CONSUMERS FROM NHTSA, ABOUT THIS COMPLAINT, IS FORTHCOMING OR AT THE LEAST DIRECTIVES ARE GIVEN AS TO RESOLUTIONS TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE. ALSO, PURCHASING BRIGHTER BULBS DON'T SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TRIED THAT. YOUR FEEDBACK WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED CONCERNING THIS HEADLIGHT SAFETY ISSUE ON MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA.
Exterior lighting, Dec 24, 2019
WHEN I 1ST BOUGHT THE CAR I UPGRADED THE HEADLIGHTS TO LED LOW BEAMS. THIS PRODUCED A NICE LIGHT AND THE LIGHTING INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY WITH A VERY SHARP CUTOFF LINE. THIS WAS ABOUT 18 MONTHS AGO. NOW THE LOW BEAMS BARELY PRODUCE A BLOB OF LIGHR AND THERE IS NO CUTOFF LINE FOR THE LIGHTS VISIBLE. MY FOG LIGHTS ACTUALLY LIGHT UP THE ROAD BETTER THAN THE LOW BEAMS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH VERY VISIBLE LIGHT ACTUALLY HITTING THE ROAD. I WILL NEED TO REPLACE THESE HEADLIGHTS VERY SOON AS I DO ALLOT OF NIGHTTIME DRIVING GOING TO AND FROM WORK IN THE WINTER MONTHS. IF THE ROADS ARE WET OR DAMP THE LIGHTING DOES NOT EVEN LIGHT UP THE LANE MARKER LINES THIS MAKES IT VERY HARD TO DRIVE ESSPECIALLY ON CURVY ROADS.

WHEN I HAD BROUGHT MY CAR LESS THAN ONE MONTH LATER THE HEADLIGHTS WAS NOT WORKING ONLY THE HIGH BEAM WORKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH HEADLIGHTS WERE DIM, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE BULB, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
Exterior lighting, Nov 25, 2019
THE LIGHTS ARE BECOMING DIMMER AND DIMMER, CHANGING THE BULBS DOES NOT HELP. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE IN THE REFLECTOR. THE WHOLE LIGHTING UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND NISSAN WON'T REPLACE IT EVEN THOUGH IT IS A DEFECT IN THE LIGHTS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I HAVE TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS TO EVEN SEE.

HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM, EVEN AFTER REPLACING WITH AFTERMARKET LIGHTS, AT NIGHT, MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE
Exterior lighting, Nov 16, 2019
LIGHTS ARE VERY DIM ON LOW BEAM. THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. REPLACEMENT FOR BOTH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY'S COST AROUND $800. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE AT NIGHT BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE.
Exterior lighting, Nov 16, 2019
HAVE OWNED CAR FOR 2.5 YEARS. INITIALLY HEADLIGHTS APPEARED FINE. THE HEADLIGHTS BRIGHTNESS OF THE HEADLIGHTS HAS DEGRADED SO MUCH THAT I BELIEVE NIGHT DRIVING PUTS THE DRIVER AT GREAT RISK. VISIBILITY WITH LOW BEAMS SEEM MORE LIKE PARKING LIGHTS. NO USEFUL LIGHTING FOR MORE THAN A FEW FEET. THE HIGH BEAM NOW SERVE AS MY LOW BEAM AND THEY APPEAR TO BE DECLINING. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND UNSETTLING! I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP INITIALLY THINKING IT WAS THE BULB. THEY SAID IT WASN'T THE BULB, BUT THE REFLECTORS. THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS HAS BEEN A REPORTED PROBLEM. A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN MADE! THIS IS CLEARLY AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I'M TOTALLY FEARFUL IF IT SHOULD RAIN AS IT FURTHER REDUCES THE LIMITED VISIBILITY. AMAZING THAT THIS PROBLEM AND CONCERN THAT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR AT LEAST A FEW YEARS CONTINUES TO GO UNADDRESSED.
Exterior lighting, Nov 1, 2019
WHEN VEHICLE WAS PURCHASE FROM DEALER, THE HEADLIGHTS WORKED GREAT. NOW THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE WHITE AND YELLOW LINES ON THE ROAD AHEAD OF YOU. WHEN CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP THEIR ANSWER WAS 'WE'RE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM' AND RECOMMENDED BUYING NEW HEADLIGHTS AT 800$ A POP. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH I FIND THIS IS IN FACT A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SEVERAL THOUSAND COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE. WHEN CAN I EXPECT A RECALL ON THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY ISSUE? I ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS HAVE BEEN TAKEN BY A CAR MANUFACTURER THAT PUTS PROFITS BEFORE SAFETY. WITHOUT THE NHTSA STANDING UP FOR THE PUBLIC THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BECOME AND REMAIN A ISSUE FOR INNOCENT AND NEEDLESS FATALITIES.
Exterior lighting, Seat belts, Oct 31, 2019
LOW BEAM LIGHTS VERY DIM. CANNOT SEE WELL AT NIGHT AT ALL, IT'S LIKE I HAVE NO LIGHTS. CHANGING THEM DID NOT HELP. I'M ONLY 40 AND HAVE NO VISION PROBLEMS. THE SEATBELT LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING AND MY SEATBELT IS ON. NISSIAN CANNOT PULL A CODE ON WHY.

YOU CANT SEE THE ROAD IF THERE IS AN ONCOMING VEHICLE, SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT BADLY I NOTICED THE LAWERS IN CALIFORNA AND TEXAS GETTING A LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR THIS ISSUE, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FIX THIS. I HAVE HAD A FEW RECALLS FOR BOTH MY ALTIMA S, A SEAT BELT AND BACK DOOR, BUT THERE WILL NOT BE A SEAT BELT OR DOOR IF YOU RUN OFF THE ROAD OR A HEAD-ON COLLISION BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE IN FRONT OF YOUR CAR. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE A NIGHT IF IT IS RAINING, JUST DON'T DO IT, PLEASE HELP US NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS
Exterior lighting, Oct 9, 2019
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT VERY DIM, EVEN AFTER REPLACING BULB. RESEARCH SHOWS LOW BEAM REFLECTOR HOUSING IS FAULTY, NOT REFLECTING LIGHT, CREATING UNSAFE NIGHT DRIVING CONDITION. FURTHER RESEARCH SHOW ONLY WAY TO REMEDY IS TO REPLACE COMPLETE HEADLIGHT HOUSING.

LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. NISSAN REPLACED THEM VOLUNTARILY (NO CHARGE) APRIL 9, 2018, BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. NOW THE REPLACED (NEW) LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE AGAIN DANGEROUSLY DIM. I VERY OFTEN HAVE TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS TO SEE PROPERLY (STREET SIGNS, CURBS, ETC.) WHICH IS DANGEROUS TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING 45 MPH, SHE WAS UNABLE TO SEE MORE THAN TEN FEET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO POOR ILLUMINATION FROM BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED PAYNE'S AUTO MART & LEASING (LOCATED AT 1524 1ST AVE SE, MOULTRIE, GA 31768, (229) 985-0989) AND INFORMED THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS BECAME INCREASINGLY DIM OVER SEVERAL MONTHS TO THE POINT WHERE THERE IS NO FORWARD STREET ILLUMINATION. I NOW MUST ALWAYS DRIVE WITH BRIGHT HI-BEAM LIGHTS ON. ON-COMING DRIVERS OFTEN FLASH FOR ME TO DIM/LOWER THE BRIGHTS CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD FOR BOTH ME AND THE APPROACHING DRIVER. DEALER TECHNICIAN CONFIRMS THAT BULBS ARE FULLY FUNCTIONAL WITH NORMAL DIM BRIGHTNESS AND DO NOT NEED REPLACING. THE ONLY REMEDY SUGGESTED IS FOR BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES BE REPLACED COSTING OVER $1000 EACH. THIS ON A FOUR YEAR OLD CAR SUGGESTS TO ME THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S RESPONSIBILITY. A 30 SECOND ON-LINE SEARCH INSTANTLY SHOWS THAT OTHER 2013-2015 NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR CARS.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS CAR CONTINUE TO GET DIMMER. THEY ARE AT THE POINT WHERE IT ISNT DRIVEABLE AT NIGHT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER BECAUSE THE CAR IS UNDER A CERTIFIED WARRANTY AND THEY ALONG WITH NISSAN CORPORATE TOLD ME ITS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. I EVEN REPLACED THE BULBS WITH BRIGHTER SYLVANIA BULBS BUT IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. PEOPLE HAVE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET SO CLEARLY IT IS A PROBLEM AS THE CAR IS NOT SAFE AT NIGHT. CAN YOU HELP?

HEADLIGHTS DANGEROUSLY DIM. NO VISIBILITY DRIVING AFTER DARK. LIGHTS DOES NOT ILLUMINATE ROAD. CANNOT SEE ANYTHING IN FRONT OR SEE CURBS OR PEOPLE CROSSING ROADS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2013-2015 NISSAN CARS. IT IS SO UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT AS YOU CANNOT SEE ANYTHING IN FRONT OF CAR. CHANGED BULBS TWICE, BROUGHT NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND STILL HAD SAME PROBLEM AFTER 7 MOS. NISSAN SHOULD RECALL HEADLIGHT BEFORE SOMEONE DIES DUE TO THEIR FAULTY HEADLIGHTS AND THEIR SILENCE
