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.

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.

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.

MY 2015 ALTIMA IS EXPERIENCING A SPORADIC DELAY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. IT WON'T REV OR DO ANYTHING FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS NO MATTER HOW FAR DOWN THE PEDAL IS. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'LL GO. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I TOOK IT TO PEP BOYS STORE TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THE TECH STAFF EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUE I WAS WHEN HE DROVE MY CAR. HE PLACE THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL INTO MY CAR AND CAME UP WITH A CODE THAT STATED SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH MY TRANSMISSION(P0776 CODE). BECAUSE THE STORE DON NOT DEAL WITH TRANSMISSION, I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM THE ISSUE. AFTER RUNNING TEST THEY DID NOT FIND ANY ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION OR NO CODE WHEN THEY INSERTED THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL INTO MY CAR. THEY STATED THEY IS MUST HAVE BEEN CLEAR.

HEADLIGHTS DANGEROUSLY DIM. NO VISIBILITY DRIVING AFTER DARK. LIGHTS DOES NOT ILLUMINATE ROAD. CANNOT SEE ANYTHING IN FRONT OR SEE CURBS OR PEOPLE CROSSING ROADS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2013-2015 NISSAN CARS. IT IS SO UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT AS YOU CANNOT SEE ANYTHING IN FRONT OF CAR. CHANGED BULBS TWICE, BROUGHT NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND STILL HAD SAME PROBLEM AFTER 7 MOS. NISSAN SHOULD RECALL HEADLIGHT BEFORE SOMEONE DIES DUE TO THEIR FAULTY HEADLIGHTS AND THEIR SILENCE

THE VEHICLE HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN PART OF A RECALL RELATED TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR IN THAT THE SENSOR WOULD FAIL TO DETECT A SEATED ADULT AND DISPLAY THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS REPORTEDLY REPAIRED BY THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN 2017, HOWEVER, THE ISSUE HAS BEEN NOTED AGAIN. ATTEMPTS TO HAVE NISSAN DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR THIS ISSUE AS PART OF THE PREVIOUS RECALL CAMPAIGN WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. NISSAN STATES THAT THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER STANDARD WARRANTY AND ANY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH REPAIR WOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER. NISSAN CASE #36131009.

WITH NO MECHANICAL WARNING OF ANY TYPE (WARNING LIGHTS OR OVERALL VEHICLE PERFORMANCE), MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA HAD THE CVT (TRANSMISSION) FAIL. THE CAR STARTING TO SPUTTER AND ACT UP WHILE DRIVING IT, NO WARNING INDICATION OF ANY ISSUES STILL, AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. STOPPING ALL FORWARD MOTION OF THE CAR. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I AM FINDING THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN 2.4L ENGINES WITH CVT, NO MATTER THE MODEL OF VEHICLE. LUCKILY I WAS NOT ON A MULTIPLE LANE HIGHWAY GOING 70-80 MPH AT THE TIME OF FAILURE AS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN! HAD I BEEN DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, I COULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC LANE, PUTTING MY LIFE, ALONG WITH MY PASSENGERS LIVES, IN DANGER. IN SPEAKING TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THEY SEE THIS FAILURE MULTIPLE TIMES IN A WEEK. HAD MY 16 YEAR OLD, NEW DRIVER, BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF FAILURE, WE COULD BE DEALING WITH AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SITUATION. THIS IS A DEFECT OF THE TRANSMISSION THAT NISSAN IS KNOWINGLY INSTALLING IN THEIR VEHICLES EVEN TODAY. NISSAN DID EXTEND THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY FOR MULTIPLE MODELS FROM 2003-2010; HOWEVER THE PROBLEM WITH THE CVT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED EVEN BY 2015.

I TRY TO TAKE OFF IT SOMETIMES HESITATES FOR A FEW SECONDS AND TAKES OFF SLOWLY A LACK OF ABOUT 75% POWER. I HAD A COUPLE CLOSE CALLS IN THE CITY. I GET OUT THERE AND THEN IT ACTS UP WHILE I'M TRYING TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC. IT'S SEEMS TO NOT SHIFT GEARS ALSO THE ENGINE WILL JUST SCREAM. I ALSO LEARNED BY SHUTTING CAR OFF PROBLEM GOES AWAY LIKE OTHER PEOPLES CARS.

PERSISTANT POOR LIGHT PRODUCTION OF LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS/ HEAD LAMP PROJECTORS. HAVE REPLACED HEAD LAMP BULBS WITH STONGER H11 BULBS, INCLUDING LED AND YOU CAN BARELY SEE THE ROAD AT NIGHT. CLEARLY THE PROJECTOR DETERIORATES OR FAILS AS CAR AGES. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD, AS YOU CANNOT CLEARLY SEE THE ROAD UNLESS YOU USE HI BEAM, WHICH IS NOT PRACTICAL. EVEN WITH FOG LAMPS TURNED ON, FORWARD VIEW IS DIFFICULT IN NIGHT AND ABSOLUTELY DANGEROUS IN POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS. THIS IS WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AT NIGHT, POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS, DUSK, DAWN, LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS.

THIS IS THE 3RD COMPLAINT. I NOW HAVE NO LIGHT PROJECTING FROM A GOOD BULB ON THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT AND THERE IS ONLY 1 FOOT OF PROJECTION OF LIGHT COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT. I AM NOW DRIVING WITH MY HIGH BEAMS AT NIGHT. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY, THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS AND THE PUBLIC THAT I DRIVE BEHIND WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS DEFECT BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED. I TRY NOT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, BUT I DO HAVE THINGS I NEED TO DO OR PEOPLE I NEED TO SEE THAT PUTS MY IN DRIVING AT NIGHT. I LOVE MY CAR AND I AM CLOSE TO PAYING IT OFF, SO I WON'T BE GOING INTO ANOTHER CAR LOAN. I WANT NISSAN TO FIX THIS DEFECTIVE ISSUE ASAP.
