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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

IN 2018, WHILE FILLING UP MY GAS, I ACCIDENTALLY PULLED THE HOOD RELEASE LEVER INSTEAD OF MY GAS RELEASE LEVER. AFTER PULLING AWAY, WHILE DRIVING THE HOOD RELEASED AND FLEW UP TO MY WINDOW, CAUSING DAMAGE ALONG THE HOOD. SINCE THIS INCIDENT, I HAVE BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH NISSAN TO GET IT REPAIRED. THEY INITIALLY DENIED THAT IT WAS THE HOOD LATCH PROBLEM, AS AT THE TIME, MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS (ALTHOUGH WHAT HAPPENED TO ME WAS EXACTLY WHAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL). I WAS ABLE TO GET AN APPOINT WITH NISSAN CORP WHO INSPECTED MY CAR AND CLAIMED THAT THE DAMAGE WAS A RESULT OF RUSTING TO THE HOOD LATCH SO THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THEY COULD DO. NOW THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, I TRIED AGAIN TO GET THE DAMAGE REPAIR/COST COVERED, BUT THEY CONTINUE TO DENY MY REQUEST STATING THE RUST CAUSED IT. (THIS RECALL STATES THAT RUST WILL FORM AND CAUSE THE ACCIDENT) I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO TURN TO NOW AS NISSAN IS BEING IMPOSSIBLE TO GET HELP FROM. NOW, EVEN THE HOOD RELEASE LEVER ISN'T WORKING.

WHILE DRIVING THE 'TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT' CAME ON AND THE CAR FELT AS THOUGH IT HAD A FLAT. TIRES LOOKED GOOD. WENT HOME. THE NEXT MORNING THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR LOOKED AS THOUGH THE BODY OF THE CAR WAS ALMOST RESTING ON THE TIRE. A REPAIR GARAGE IS NEXT STORE TO US. BROUGHT IT TO THEM. THEY CALLED TO SAY THAT THE REAR CONTROL ARM DRIVERS SIDE RUSTED AND BROKE AND THAT THE RIGHT SIDE NEEDED REPLACING TO. NISSAN IS NOT HONORING A KNOWN DEFECT AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY SAID THAT UNLESS IT WAS IN AN ACCIDENT, THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT EITHER. WE ARE STUCK PAYING TO REPLACE BOTH REAR CONTROL ARMS AT OUR EXPENSE. WHEN NISSAN IS AWARE THAT IT IS THERE ISSUE AND IT SHOULD COVER ALTIMA'S FROM 2013-2018. OURS IS A 2015. WE LIVE IN ONE OF THE SALT ROCK STATES. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSAN SHOULD HAVE TO MAKE THE REPAIR FREE OF CHARGE AND NOT LET THE CONSUMER FOOT THE BILL. UNTIL FIXED WE DON'T HAVE OUR PRIMARY VEHICLE.

AT NIGHT TIME I NOTICED MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE EXTREMELY DIM. LIKE ALMOST CAN'T EVEN SEE THE ROAD DIM WITHOUT SITTING RIGHT AGAINST MY STEERING WHEEL. SO I TURN MY HIGH BEAMS ON TO SEE IF THEY WERE DIM TOO BUT THOSE WERE NORMAL. I REPLACED THEM ALL WITH LED AND THE PROBLEM STILL WAS NOT RESOLVED. I DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON UNTIL I MEET AN ONCOMING VEHICLE AND THEN I USUALLY CAN'T EVEN SEE THE ROAD UNLESS MY BRIGHTS ARE ON(WHICH IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR THEM AS WELL). IN THE CITY, MY LIGHTS DO NOT EVEN APPEAR THAT THEY ARE ON AT ALL

THE HEADLIGHTS FOR THIS VEHICLE ARE EXTREMELY DIM AND UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT! THEY ARE SO DIM THAT OTHER ONCOMING CARS WILL FLASH THEIR HEADLIGHTS AT ME THINKING I AM USING RUNNING DAYLIGHTS OR HAVE NO LIGHTS ON AT ALL!! I CANNOT SEE THE ROAD WELL AT NIGHT AT ALL AND AM FORCED TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS FOR SAFETY! I ORIGINALLY BELIEVED THAT THE ISSUE WAS THE BULBS THEMSELVES AND I HAVE REPLACED THEM TWICE WITH NO RESOLUTION TO THE ISSUE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE LITERALLY OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR WITH 9 MILES ON IT, IN FEB 2016. THE FIRST BULB REPLACEMENT WAS ON 2.16.2019, AND I HAVE DOCUMENTATION SUPPORTING THAT REPLACEMENT. THE SECOND REPLACEMENT WAS ON 2.22.2020, WHICH I DID MYSELF AS THE COST OF THE LABOR WAS TOO HIGH. THIS ALSO DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. WHEN I REACHED OUT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD ME THE VEHICLE, THEY ADVISED THAT IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE PROJECTOR REFLECTIVE FINISH INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. THEY STATED THAT NISSAN WAS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE, HOWEVER THEY HAVE NO PLANS ON A SAFETY RECALL AND MY ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, FOR A WHOPPING $880! NISSAN NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THIS SAFETY HAZARD AND TAKE CARE OF ITS CONSUMERS. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL NISSAN CUSTOMER - HAVE PURCHASED FOUR VEHICLES WITHIN 6 YEARS - ALL NEW AND THIS IS HOW I AM TREATED? HOW EVERYONE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND ISSUE IS TREATED? THERE IS A CLASS ACTION INVESTIGATION HAPPENING RIGHT NOW OVER THIS ISSUE, ANYONE WHO HAS NOT SHARED THEIR EXPERIENCE, NEEDS TO DO SO!

I CANNOT RECALL THE EXACT DATE, BUT LATE 2018/EARLY 2019, WHILE DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET I NOTICED HOW DIM MY HEADLIGHTS WERE. BEING THAT MY CAR IS A 2015 MODEL, I NAIVELY EQUATED IT TO AGE AND LIGHTBULB DIMNESS; WHICH WAS NOT THE CASE. I SWAPPED HEAD LIGHT BULBS, TO NO AVAIL; I OPTED FOR THE MOST EXPENSIVE HEAD LIGHT BULB IN AUTOZONE, BUT STILL HELLA DIM. IN MY MOST RECENT VISIT TO SHEEHY NISSAN SERVICE, A RECOMMENDED SERVICE IS TO "REPLACE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY/BAD REFLECTIONS." IN ADDITION TO THE SERVICE BEING RECOMMENDED, I WAS INFORMED THAT IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM VOICED TO SERVICE TECHS BY MANY OTHER 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS.

Exterior lighting, Jan 15, 2021, crash
I BOUGHT MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH 3000 MILES. PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW IN 0CTOBER THAT SAME YEAR. ABOUT A YEAR AFTER I NOTICED MY HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT AS STRONG AS THEY WERE BEFORE. I FIGURED THE BULBS WERE BEGINNING TO BURN OUT. SO I UPGRADED THEM TO AN LED H11 BULB AS THAT IS THE BULB THE MANUAL SAYS IS REQUIRED. THESE BULBS WERE NOT OVERLY EXPENSIVE BUT THEY WEREN'T CHEAP EITHER. I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH BEFORE BUYING. ABOUT ANOTHER YEAR LATER. THEY BEGAN TO GO DIM AS WELL. AT THIS POINT IT'S 2018 AND I CANNOT DRIVE AT NIGHT ANYMORE. REPLACING THE ASSEMBLY THROUGH NISSAN WHICH THEY RECOMMEND BUT WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM WOULD COST ME ABOUT $1000+THEIR TAXES. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH THIS VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. VISIBILITY AT NIGHT IS ABOUT CLOSE TO ZERO. I CAN'T EVEN PICK UP MY FAMILY AND GO ANYWHERE BECAUSE IT JUST ISN'T SAFE TO DO SO. I HAVE TO MAKE TRIPS DURING THE DAYLIGHT AND BEFORE IT GETS DARK TO AVOID DRIVING DANGEROUSLY INTO THE NIGHT. I WEAR GLASSES AND CONTACTS AND I USE OTHERS DRIVING NEAR AND THEIR HEADLIGHTS TO SEE BETTER THAN MY OWN CAR. THAT IS RIDICULOUS. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND THEY WANT TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC AND POSSIBLY REPLACE THEM FOR OVER $1200 WHICH INCLUDES THE DIAGNOSTIC. THEY NEED TO BE LOOKED INTO QUICKLY BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS ALMOST PAID OFF FOR BUT IS TOO DANGEROUS TO EVEN DRIVE ANYMORE. IT'S A CHEAPLY MADE VEHICLE AND IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL FOR THEM TO PUT SOMETHING ON A MARKET LIKE THIS. HOW HAVE THERE BEEN NO RECALLS YET FOR THIS? THIS IS A DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE NHTSA.
