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.

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.

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.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2015 Altima and 2016 Maxima vehicles manufactured October 6, 2015, to October 7, 2015. The affected vehicles have front brake calipers whose mounting bolts may not be properly tightened.
If the bolts were not properly tightened, the caliper may detach and reduce braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.

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.

I TRIED TO RELEASE THE HOOD BY WAY OF PULLING THE INTERIOR LATCH, IT DID NOT OPEN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN THE NEXT DAY. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND PRESSED ON IT (TO BE SURE IT WAS CLOSED) AND DROVE AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION. I WAS DRIVING 30 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE HOOD LET GO AND HYPEREXTENDED AND FLEW UP IN FRONT OF ME AND I WAS UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING.

ON NOVEMBER 8TH MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA AND THE RPM STARTING GOING UP AND AS SHE WAS PRESSING THE GAS THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING BAD IN MY CAR AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME $4500.00 TO GET FIXED. AFTER TALKING TO SEVERAL PEOPLE I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH A 4 CYLINDER ENGINE. IF THERE IS A RECALL THEN WHY IS MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TRYING TO GET ME TO PAY. I WEN TO THE NHTSA.GOV WEBSITE AND TYPED IN MY VIN NUMBER AND IT SHOWED THAT MY VEHICLE IS RECALLED. DO I TAKE MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB ON THAT DEALERSHIP? I DON'T HAVE $4500.00 TO FIX MY TRANSMISSION ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE IS A RECALL ON IT.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THIS MORNING AND STOPPED AT THE LIGHT TO MAKE THE LEFT TURN (ABOUT 5 MINUTES INTO MY DRIVE). ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I STEPPED ON THE GAS BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. PUSHING ON THE GAS, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE TO THE MORE THAN 40 MPH. I TURNED THE CAR AROUND TO GO HOME (ABOUT 1 MILE AWAY) AS I DIDN'T FEEL IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND HAD TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT TO MAKE THE RIGHT TURN. ONCE STOPPED, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. IT WAS STILL ON AND NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY ACCELERATE, AGAIN NO MORE THAN 40 MPH. THIS WAS SCARY AND DANGEROUS. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

I JUST CALLED NISSAN. ON JUNE 8 18 I TOOK MY CAR TO CHANDLER NISSAN FOR PRE PURCHASE INSPECTION. THEY SAID IT HAD A RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION, CHECKED IT AND SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. I RECEIVED A QUOTE ON THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WHILE THERE. I LATER CALLED AND EMAILED TO EXTEND MY WARRANTY BUT KEPT GETTING THE RUN AROUND. FAST FORWARD TO THIS WEEKEND, GETTING ON THE FREEWAY NO ACCELERATION AT ALL. RPM JUST THROUGH THE ROOF. ITS DONE THAT A FEW TIMES NOW, SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT (AFTER INSPECTION) IT WOULD LAG TO ACCELERATE JUST NOT TOTALLY LIKE IT DID NOW. I'M A GIRL AND THOUGHT THAT WAS NORMAL IT JUST DIDN'T PICK UP AND GO AND WHINED A LITTLE. TODAYS MILES = 61850. CALLED NISSAN, THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT AND GET BACK TO ME... THE CAR HAD 57468 MILES AT THE TIME OF INSPECTION AND WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE OTHER ISSUE WAS ABOUT A MONTH AGO, BEFORE I HIT 60K THE SIDE AIRBAG ALERT WENT OFF. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR IT DISAPPEARED. TOOK IT TO MIDWAY NISSAN AND THEY SAID COULD BE A FAULTY SENSOR OR COULD BE A DEFECT IN THE AIRBAG BUT ITS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY QUOTED $1400 TO FIX THAT. I FORGOT TO TELL THE NISSAN REP THAT WHEN I CALLED BUT I WILL DO SO WHEN THEY CALL ME BACK. HOPING THEY WILL BE HELPFUL. I WILL UPDATE AS I GET MORE INFO.

THE DUNLOP TIRES WHICH CAME WITH THE NEW 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA I BOUGHT IN JANUARY OF 2015 WERE MANUFACTURED IN 2013. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, I WAS LOOSING AIR IN ALL FOUR (4) TIRES. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. SO I WENT AND I BOUGHT AN AIR PUMP WHICH I USED ALMOST EVERY WEEK TO FILL IN THE AIR I WAS LOSING. RECENTLY, WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN, ONE OF THE TIRES LOST 15 POINTS PRESSURE WITHIN ONE MILE ON THE ROAD. IT WAS A ZIPLINE FRACTURE ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE TIRES FOR ME. I CONTACTED BOTH DUNLOP AND NISSAN AND BOTH KEPT ON THROWING THE PROBLEM ON EACH OTHER. DUNLOP OFFERED TO GIVE ME A REPLACEMENT CREDIT TO BE USED FOR DUNLOP/GOODYEAR TIRES WHICH I DO NOT TRUST. NISSAN REFUSED TO HEAR MY COMPLAINT BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WARRANT TIRES EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT THE DUNLOP TIRES WITH THE NEW VEHICLES. I DO NOT TRUST EITHER OF THE TWO COMPANIES BECAUSE THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. THANK GOD THAT WE DID NOT SUSTAIN ANY INJURY OR DEATH BUT THE 2013 TIRES WERE REALLY DEFECTIVE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR.

MY NISSAN ALTIMA CVT TRANSMISSION IS GOING UP AGAIN. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME AND NISSAN HAD MY CAR FOR ALMOST THREE WEEKS AND I HAD TO CALL AND SEE A STATUS AND IF I DIDN'T I STILL WOULDN'T OF GOT A CALL ABOUT IT. THEY TOLD ME THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE ON THE CONTROL MODULE OF THE TRANSMISSION AND THERE IS A NOTE IN MY ACCOUNT THAT I CAN BRING IT UP AS MANY TIMES AS I NEED TO WITH NO CHARGE TO ME. ARE YOU KIDDING ME RED FLAG, AND LETS NOT FORGET THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THEY HAD MY VEHICLE ON THE SAME PROBLEM AND THIS IS A RED FLAG FOR NOT KNOWING HOW MANY MORE TIMES THIS WILL HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE BUT IT WILL HAPPEN. THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS A VEHICLE WITH NO RELIABILITY WITH IT, COSTS YOU AN ARM AND LEG, AND THE CAR IS CRAP. THEY ALL NEED TO BE RECALLED. THE VEHICLE MAKES A WHINEY NOSE GOING DOWN OR UP HILLS, THE RPM'S GET STUCK IN 2ND GEAR AND DON'T LET YOU GO ABOVE 20MPH UNLESS YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF AND THEN STOMP IT TO THE FLOOR TO KICK IT OUT OF GEAR, AND THE CAR TRIES TO OVERDUE YOUR DRIVING TO DO ITS OWN. THE TRANSMISSION IS CRAP AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AFTER ALL THE REVIEWS OUT THERE SAYING THE SAME THING FROM 2008 TO AT LEAST 2015 OR 2016.
