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.

HELLO, I DRIVE A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA S WITH 115,000 MILES ON IT. THE OTHER NIGHT I WAS PULLED OVER FOR NOT HAVING MY HEADLIGHTS ON. THE THING IS, MY HEADLIGHTS WERE ON. MY HEADLIGHTS ARE SO INCREDIBLY DIM (AS A RESULT OF A FACTORY DEFECT IN MY VEHICLE) THAT THE POLICE OFFICER BEHIND ME COULDN'T TELL THAT THEY WERE ON. I WAS GIVEN A WARNING AND TOLD THAT I NEED TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE TRIED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IN THE PAST. I'VE BEEN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TWICE ABOUT THIS, BOTH TIMES I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE BUT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE BESIDES CHANGING THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. EVEN IF I DO, I WAS TOLD, THIS PROBLEM WILL LIKELY HAPPEN AGAIN. THE PLASTIC THAT IMMEDIATELY SURROUNDS MY HEADLIGHT IS CHEAP, AND AS IT HEATS UP, IT PRODUCES A GAS THAT FOGS UP THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT. THE LEFT HEADLIGHT IS COMPLETELY USELESS AND THE RIGHT ONE I HAVE AROUND 3 FEET OF VISIBILITY. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE MY CAR HAD 25,000 MILES ON IT AND I AM FED UP WITH IT. IT IS TOO DANGEROUS FOR ME TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITHOUT MY HIGH BEAMS ON. I KNOW THIS IS HAPPENING TO LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE TOO. HERE ARE SEVERAL ARTICLES I FOUND AFTER 30 SECONDS OF SEARCHING ON GOOGLE: HTTPS://WWW.NISSANCLUB.COM/THREADS/HEADLIGHTS-TOO-DIM-CANT-SEE-SOLUTION.508866/ HTTP://WWW.NISSANPROBLEMS.COM/ALTIMA-PROJECTOR-HEADLIGHTS/ HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NISSAN/ALTIMA/2015/LIGHTS/HEADLIGHTS_ARE_TOO_DIM.SHTML HERE IS A CLASS ACTION INVESTIGATION ON THIS ISSUE: HTTPS://CHIMICLES.COM/NISSAN-ALTIMA-DIM-HEADLIGHTS-CLASS-ACTION-INVESTIGATION/ WHEN I REACHED OUT TO NISSAN, A REGIONAL MANAGER CONTACTED ME. HE TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING NISSAN WAS GOING TO DO SINCE MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY WILL NOT BE COVERING ANY COSTS, AND THEY WILL NOT BE ISSUING RECALLS UNLESS ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAIN TO THE NHTSA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

MY DAILY COMMUTE TAKES ME THROUGH RURAL, RELATIVELY UNLIT AREAS AT NIGHT. THIS HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY UNSAFE IN THE LAST YEAR AS MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE DIMMED TO THE POINT WHERE I AM UNABLE TO SEE MORE THAN 60-70 FEET IN FRONT OF ME. THIS POSES A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AS DEER ARE ABUNDANT IN THE AREA I DRIVE THROUGH AND ANY AMOUNT OF INCLEMENT WEATHER FURTHER HINDERS SAFE DRIVING.

OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME (APROX. 2 YEARS), THE HEADLIGHT LOW-BEAM OUTPUT HAS DECREASED TO UNSAFE LEVELS. AT NIGHT, IT IS HARD TO TELL IF THE HEADLIGHT ARE EVEN ON, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT SEEM TO LIGHT UP THE ROAD AT ALL. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE THE BULBS, AND CLEANING THE LENS, BUT NEITHER HAS HELPED. I LOOKED FURTHER INTO THE ISSUE, AND IT APPEARS THE REFLECTOR MATERIAL INSIDE THE PROJECTOR HEADLIGHT HAS BURNT OFF FROM REGULAR USE IN THE 2 YEARS THAT I OWNED THE CAR (PURCHASED NEW), THERE IS ALMOST NO REFLECTIVE MATERIAL LEFT IN THE PROJECTOR HEADLIGHT. I CHECKED WITH NISSAN DEALERSHIP, AND THAT ISN'T SOMETHING THAT IS COVERED BY ANY OF THE WARRANTIES, THERE IS ALSO NO RECALL FOR THIS PART WHICH I FIND COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. EVERY SINGLE 2014+ ALTIMA THAT I SEE ON THE STREET APPEARS TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, THE ROAD IN FRONT OF THE CAR ISN'T LIT, AND I AM SURE IT IS ALSO DUE TO THE BURNED OFF REFLECTORS IN THEIR HEADLIGHTS AS WELL.

WELL I BOUGHT MY 2015 ALTIMA A YEAR AGO AND NOW IT TRIES TO OVER HEATED, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE BOUNCES BACK AND FORTH, AND WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE IT WILL MOVE BUT AFTER I THROW IT IN DRIVE I LOSE ALL POWER WITH ACCELERATION THE CAR ON JUST NO REV OR ANYTHING
Power train, Oct 21, 2020
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.
