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 2015-2017 Altima vehicles. The rear door latch/lock cable on the vehicles may have been improperly routed. As a result, lowering a rear window may inadvertently cause that door to unlatch and open.
If the rear passenger doors inadvertently open while the vehicle is in motion, it may increase the risk of injury to the rear passengers.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will correct the rear door latch/lock cable routing, free of charge. The recall began on February 16, 2017. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY HESITATED TO ACCELERATE WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ONCE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE AT AN UNSAFE, HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE PLACE OF PURCHASE BUT THE CONTACT WAS THEN REFERRED TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR ASSISTANCE. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A DEFECT WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO AN AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALER TO ENSURE THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO STATE LINE NISSAN (10401 MADISON AVE, KANSAS CITY, MO 64114) WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE AND REFUSED TO SERVICE IT UNDER WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,148.

MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA'S TRANSMISSION JUST WENT OUT AT A MERE 95,000 MILES. I JUST HAD ALL THE TIRES AND BRAKES REPAIRED READY TO GO FOR INSPECTION AND THE TRANSMISSION RANDOMLY FAILED WHILE MAKING A DELIVERY FOR UBER EATS. THE VEHICLE JUST STARTED STALLING OUT AFTER STOPPING AND GOT WORSE FROM THERE. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING IT JUST WON'T SWITCH GEARS. I TURNED ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND WENT HOME AND IT WOULDN'T GO ABOVE 50, I'M LUCKY I EVEN MADE IT HOME. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE CVT TRANSMISSION I HAD LOOKED AT 3 YEARS AGO AFTER SOMETHING SIMILAR HAPPENED AND I SAW A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT RELATED TO THIS BUT NOW I AM OUT THE REPAIRS ON THE BRAKES AND TIRES AND STUCK WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND I RELY ON UBER EATS. I THINK I GOT SOLD A LEMON. EVER CAR ME OR EVERYONE I KNOW HAD WENT UNTIL EASILY 200-250K MILES BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION WENT ON OLDER VEHICLES; NOW A "NEWER" VEHICLE GOES OUT UNDER 100K? THAT'S WHY THERE'S A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OUT FOR THIS AND I REALLY WISH I COULD HAVE GOTTEN IN ON IT BECAUSE NOW I'M OUT THE COST OF REPAIRS, I CAN'T DO MY JOB WITHOUT A CAR, AND I'M STUCK WITH THE BILL FOR A CAR THAT DOESN'T WORK SO I'M JUST OUT THAT MONEY.

DRIVING DOWN THE US23/119 INTERSTATE NEAR PIKEVILLE, KY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STARTED DECELERATING FROM 60 MPH AND WOULD NO LONGER ALLOW ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE SPEED KEPT DECREASING UNTIL IT WAS GOING LESS THAN 20 MPH AND TH DRIVER HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER A TOW TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED TO BE A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. THE DANGER WAS IT OCCURRED SO SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH NO WARNING AND VEHICLES EASILY COULD HAVE COLLIDED WITH OUR VEHICLE. UPON LEARNING OF THE REPAIR NEEDED I SEARCHED FOR OTHER SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE NISSAN ALTIMA. I FOUND THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT FOR 2013-16 VEHICLES DUE TO FAULTY TRANSMISSION. THE SUIT SETTLED WITH AN EXTENSION OF THE WARRANTY BY 24 MONTHS OR 24,000 MILES. HOWEVER, THIS RESOLUTION, IN MY OPINION, IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO PROTECT THE CONSUMERS FROM PAYING OFTEN IN EXCESS OF $3000 FOR A REPAIR AND THE RISK OF LIFE WHILE DRIVING A KNOWN FAULTY PRODUCT. NISSAN SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO INCREASE THE WARRANTY PERIOD TO BE MORE TIED TO THE LIFE OF A TRANSMISSION AND PROTECT CONSUMERS OF POTENTIAL INJURIES DUE TO THEIR KNOWN FAULTY PRODUCT.

I LEASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2015 AND PURCHASED IT IN 2018 WITH 60003 MILES. I BEGAN EXPERIENCING A LOSS OF ACCELERATION FROM A STOP AT ABOUT 80K MILES, IT HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY A FEW TIMES OVER THE NEXT YEAR. MY VEHICLE JUST BROKE 100K MILES, THE ISSUE HAS BECOME MUCH MORE FREQUENT IN THE LAST MONTH, WHEN PULLING OUT ACROSS TRAFFIC, WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP LIGHT OR SIGN. THE VEHICLE HAS LITTLE TO NO RESPONSE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED, OR EVEN PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. IT WILL SOMETIMES ENGAGE AFTER PUTTING THE CAR BACK INTO PARK, AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE. OTHER TIMES IT WILL VERY SLOWLY ACCELERATE TAKING AS MUCH AS 30 SECONDS TO INCREASE 10 MPH. I DID SOME BASIC INTERNET RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY NISSAN VEHICLES WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS HAVE ISSUES, AND SUBSEQUENT CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER, WITH 102K MILES. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE FAULTY CVT, AND INDICATED THAT MY SPECIFIC MODEL DOES NOT HAVE ITS TRANSMISSION UNDER WARRANTY UP TO 120K MILES LIKE OTHER VEHICLES, AND THAT THE VEHICLE WARRANTY IS ONLY VALID UP TO 84K MILES. I ASKED FOR DOCUMENTATION AS I COULD NOT FIND ANY ON THE WEB DESIGNATING THIS NEW 84K MILE LIMITATION, THEY EMAILED ME AN IMAGE OF A SERVICE BULLETIN INDICATING 84K MILES AS THE LIMITATION WHERE NISSAN ACCEPTS LIABILITY FOR THIS KNOWN ISSUE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS THE VEHICLE WILL BEGIN TO ACCELERATE AND THEN HAVE NOTHING AFTER YOU HAVE PULLED INTO TRAFFIC. LUCKILY, I HAVE NOT BEEN HIT WHILE ENTERING OR TURNING ACROSS TRAFFIC. SO IT HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY AND IN MOTION, ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS, BOTH TURNING AND GOING STRAIGHT. *TR

THE CVT TRANSMISSION WAS IDLING HIGH WHEN DRIVING AND WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT. WITHOUT REALIZING IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION, THE CAR WOULD JERK WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. AS THE CAR WAS DRIVING TLAND WITH YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS IT WOULD IDLE TO THE TOP AND WHEN IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP YOU PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN IT WOULD JERK INTO GEAR AND TAKE OUT.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN PRESSING DOWN ON THE THE ACCELERATION PEDAL THERE IS SOMETIMES AN EXTENDED DELAY AND THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALWAYS, BUT I HAVE READ THAT ALOT PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW THE CAUSE. PERSONALLY, AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, TURNING OFF AND TURNING ON THE CAR SEEMS TO ALLOW IT TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. MY SPECIFIC EXPERIENCE WITH THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN A TWO WEEK SPAN. I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSED DOWN ON A REGULAR TWO WAY ROADWAY. AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE BY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE, AND THE RPMS WOULD JUST GO UP. THIS SAME EXPERIENCE HAPPENED ANOTHER TIME AS WELL. PLEASE LOOK INTO IT AS A POSSIBLE RECALL FOR SOME PROGRAMMING ON THIS CVT TRANSMISSION, AS THIS COULD BE A VERY POTENTIALLY BAD RISK, ESPECIALLY DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE LOSING THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE CAN RESULT IN MAJOR ACCIDENTS/DEATHS.
