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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Engine, Sep 13, 2019
THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND / OR IN MOTION. AND NO ENGINE OR ANYTHING CON=MES TO TELL YOU WHAT IS WRONG. MECHANICS CAN NOTFIX IT, BECAUSE NOTHING SHOWS ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE. SOMETIME WHEN PRESS THE GAS PEDAL, THE ENGINE DOES NOTHING. AS IF THE ENGINE IS NOT EVEN ON. AFTER REPEATEDLY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL THE ENGINE WILL FINALLY RESPOND AS IT SHOULD. IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY.
Power train, Sep 12, 2019
HAVE SHUDDERING OF THE CAR WHEN DRIVING UP TO 40 MPH. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP (WHERE IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED) AND DIAGNOSTICS DETERMINED A "BAD" TRANSMISSION WITH IDENTIFIED "JUDDER" CODE. HOWEVER, THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUED BY NISSAN TO ADDRESS TO THIS ISSUE DOES NOT CURRENTLY EXTEND TO 6 CYLINDERS, OF WHICH MINE IS. I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THIS, AS MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AS STATED IN BULLETIN NTB16-085 AND NTB15-015G.
Other or unspecified, Engine, Sep 9, 2019
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.

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.
Visibility/wiper, Aug 22, 2019
THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR RANDOMLY DROPS INTO THE DOWN POSITION BLOCKING THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY. THE VISOR FALLS WITHOUT WARNING AND CAN BE STARTLING. IT IS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT TO RETURN TO THE UP POSITION. UPON INSPECTION IT APPEARS THAT THE BODY OF THE VISOR HAS COME APART AT THE SEAMS INSIDE OF THE CLOTH COVERING. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING, WHILE IN MOTION DURING A VARIETY OF DRIVING CONDITIONS.
Exterior lighting, Aug 17, 2019
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.
Air bags, Aug 17, 2019
WHEN AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE AIRBAG IS TURNED OFF. WHEN WE STOP THE CAR THE PASSENGER GETS OUT AND THEN BACK IN THE AIRBAG IS TURNED ON BUT THEN TURNS IT SELF OFF AGAIN.

INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE SINCE 25K MILES. THE CAR REVS AND LOSES SPEED. SOMETIMES I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND IT WILL NOT GO FOR 2-5 SECOMDS. RECENTLY GOING UP A HILL THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS WHILE I WAS PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. TURNING THE CAR OFF CAN "CURE" THE SYMPTOM UNTIL IT RANDOMLY HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS DIFFICULT DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, OR DECIDING TO MAKE LEFT TURNS BECAUSE I CAN NOT DEPEND ON ACCELERATION

ALL I REMEMBER WAS ONE SECOND, I WAS DRIVING AND THE NEXT, I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING AND WAS BRAKING & SCREAMING, ON A WILD, BUMPY RIDE, NOT KNOWING WHERE TO STEER BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE PAST THE AIRBAGS AND DUST/CHEMICALS/SMOKE.

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE NO MATTER HOW FAR PUT MY FOOT DOWN ON THE PEDAL IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THIS IS EXTREAMLY DANGEROUS AS IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN CROSSING INTERSECTION IN VERY BUSY TRAFFIC SITUATIONS. I WOULD SAY I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT AT LEAST 5 TIMES IN THIS SITUATION, BUT THE DRIVERS COMING THE OTHER WAY SAW I WAS HAVING. A PROBLEM AND SLOWED DOWN SO THEY WOULD NOT HIT ME.

WHILE WAITING TO TURN LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION FOR A BREAK IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES PAUSE FOR 2-3 SECONDS WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED, AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. THIS LEAVES ME VULNERABLE TO AN ACCIDENT WHEN IT FINALLY KICKS IN AND STARTS MOVING. WHEN HAVING TO JUDGE AND MAKE CRUCIAL DECISIONS WHILE DRIVING IS COMPLICATED BY A CAR THAT DOESN'T MOVE WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO I TRULY FEEL IT'S LITERALLY 'AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.' I ALSO DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN BECAUSE IT'S NOT EVERY TIME, SO I HAVE NO WAY TO INCORPORATE THAT INTO MY DECISION MAKING WHILE DRIVING. NEITHER I WANT TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT, NOR DO I WANT TO PUT SOMEONE ELSE AT RISK.

I HAVE A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH ONLY 38,500 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT IT AT 31,000 MILES. ME AND MY GIRLFRIEND RECENTLY TAKEN A TRIP TO VIRGINIA.WE WERE LEAVING THE LAST DAY AND WE CAME UP TO THE FIRST LIGHT AWAY FROM THE PLACE WE WERE STAYING AT. AS I CAME UP TO THE LIGHT MY CAR HAD JERKED REALLY HARD SLOWING DOWN AND THE RPMS WENT WAY UP. I DIDN'T REALLY THINK THAT WAS WEIRD AS IT HAS DONE THAT BEFORE ON MULTIPLE TIMES. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PRESSED THE GAS AND NOTHING HAD HAPPENED FOR A SOLID 10 SECONDS IT WOULD ONLY REV UP TO 2 AND WOULDN'T GO PAST 10 MILES PER HOUR. AS THIS LIGHT WAS FAST AND IT WAS TURNING YELLOW AS SOON AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH IT THE PEOPLE WERE HONKING BEHIND ME AS MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. I PULLED OVER AND CUT MY CAR OFF AND WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES. I STARTED OUT AGAIN AND IT HAD A HARD TIME ACCELERATING AND I PULLED OVER AGAIN. AT THIS POINT NO LIGHTS CAME ON OR ANYTHING. I THOUGHT MY CAR JUST LEFT US STRANDED IN VIRGINIA. I TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN AND STARTED OUT AND IT WAS DRIVING NORMAL. I FIND THIS UNSAFE BECAUSE CARS AT THE LIGHT COULD HAVE STARTED TO COME THROUGH MY MY CAR IS JUST TEETERING ALONG THROUGH THE FAST LIGHT

MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2015 WILL NOT ACCELERATE ON A HIGHWAY. IT ONLY HAS 30K ON IT. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN 2 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG. JULY 21, 2019, IT WAS TOWED AGAIN WHILE I WAS ON THE LONG TRIP. OVERALL, IT HAPPENED 10 TIMES. CAR FALLS ON ITS FACE. YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. I HADS TO TOW IT 2 TIMES ALREADY. THE OTHER TIMES I HAD TO WAIT 30 MIN OR SO. WHEN ON HIGHWAY YOU GO 65, IT DROPS TO 40, THEN 20; IT SPUTTERS AND THEN YOU HAVE TO STOP. MY NISSAN ALTIMA WAS MOVING WHEN THE ACCELERATION GAVE UP NO MATTER HOW STRONG YOU PUSH THE PEDAL. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON TOO. I WAS IN LOGANDALE NEVADA. TURNED THE CAR OFF. THEN WAITED. AFTER 15 MIN, I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND DRIVE IT BARELY AT 20 MIN PER HOUR ON HIGHWAY 15 COMING FROM LAS VEGAS TO MOAPA PAIUTE TRAVEL PLAZA GAS STATION. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS BECAUSE OTHER CARD=S DO NOT KJNOW THAT YOU HAVE ACCELERATION FAILURE AND THEY DRIVE BEHIND YOU AT 60-70 MILES PER HOUR AND IT CAN BE VERY SCARY BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AS THE ACCELERATION DOES NOT WORK AND CAR GOERS EVENTUALLY TO 0 MILES PER HOUR NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATION PEDAL. CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE.
