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 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.

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.

OTHER VEHICLES PULL UP BEHIND ME AND THEIR HEADLIGHTS SHOW A SHADOW IN FRONT OF ME. NISSAN WANTS TO CHARGE ME $200 TO LOOK AT THEM TO TELL ME I WHAT'S WRONG. I'M CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS.

THE DRIVER'SIDE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHT DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY SIDE LIGHT ALL OR FRONT LIGHT GREATER THAN 10 FEET. THE LIGHT BULBS FOR BOTH LOW BEAMS WERE REPLACED WITH LED BULBS 02/03/2019, WHICH MADE NO DIFFERENCE IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER. THE LACK OF LIGHT POWER MAKES DRIVING AT NIGHT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT ESPECIALLY LEFT TURNS WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE INABILITY TO SEE DURING A LEFT TURN. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN IN JUNE 2017, THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN MARCH 2015.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AND THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO SEE MORE THAN 10-15 FEET IN FRONT MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO NAVIGATE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT TIME. A WRITTEN COMPLAINT WAS SENT DIRECTLY TO NISSAN WITH NO RESPONSE FOR THIS ISSUE. I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THIS IS THE NATURE OF PROJECTOR LIGHTS. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR QUITE SOME TIME. IT IS TIME THAT I SPEAK UP BECAUSE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND I FEAR FOR MY FAMILY'S WELL BEING WHEN THEY DRIVE AT NIGHT. I NOTICED THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE AS WELL AS THE INTERNET FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD CONSIDER A RECALL/ REPAIR OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE DUE TO LACK OF ADEQUATE LIGHTING AT NIGHT.

Service brakes, Dec 30, 2018
I TOOK MY CAR TO BE SERVICED AT DISCOUNT TIRE SHOP IN HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA. I PAID $195.00 TO HAVE MY BRAKES REPLACED, BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE SQUEAKING. I RE-QUESTED HAVING MY BRAKES REPLACED. NOT ONCE DID THE TECH ASK IF I WANTED MY OLD BRAKES CONFISCATED. THE TECH TOLD ME THAT THERE DID NOT SEEM TO BE ANYTHING WITH THE BRAKES. HE ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO HAVE THE BRAKES REPAIRED; I TOLD HIM YES, IF IT MEANS THE SQUEAKING WILL STOP. THEY REPAIRED THE BRAKES AND THE SQUEAKING BECAME EVEN WORSE THAN BEFORE. I DEMANDED MY MONEY BACK FROM THE DEALER MANAGER, AND HE REFUSES TO GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK. HE DROVE MY CAR AFTER THE REPAIR AND MY FAMILY MEMBER AND I BOTH HEARD THE CAR SQUEAKING; HOWEVER, THE MANAGER TOLD US HE DID NOT HEAR ANY SQUEAKING. TO DATE THE BRAKE IS STILL SQUEAK-ING. THE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT BOTH HE AND HIS CHILDREN ALL HAVE ALTIMAS, SO I ASSUME THAT HE TOOK MY BRAKES TO USE ON ONE OF THEIR CARS. HE TOOK MY BRAKES AND IT APPEARS THAT HE DID ABSOLUTELY TO MY OLD BRAKES; BECAUSE IT WAS ON THAT DATE SQUEAKING AND TO DATE, SQUEAKING EVEN WORSE THAN BEFORE. I AM AGAIN REQUESTING THAT THIS MANAGER, REIMBURSE ME $189.00 FOR A BRAKE JOB THAT WAS SIMPLY NO DONE, OR THAT WAS INCORRECTLY REPAIRED. (MORE DETAILS WILL BE PROVIDED UPON REQUEST). HE STATED THAT HT WOULD REIMBURSE ME MY $189.00; YET TO DATE, HE HAS NOT DONE SO. IT SHOULD BE NOTED: I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2017; MY DEALER PROVIDED ME WITH NO TYPE OF SAFETY RECALLS WHATSOEVER, I JUST LEARNED TODAY THAT THERE WERE RECALLS. THANK YOU.

AIR BAG INDICATOR ON DASHBOARD CAME ON SUDDENLY ONE MORNING AT MILEAGE OF 86,500 AND WOULD NOT GO OFF EVEN AFTER RE-STARTING. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP WERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED IT WAS A FAULTY OCS FOR THE OCCUPANT SIDE AIRBAG AND THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVER EVEN THOUGH WE HAD A GOLD 120,000 EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH NO-DEDUCTIBLES. THIS IS ONE OF HE EXCLUDED PARTS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I REACHED OUT TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON 11-30-18 AFTER DISCUSSING WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND SPOKE WITH A HELEN EMPLOYEE #7319348 AND WAS ASSIGNED CASE# 33678608 AND WAS TOLD SOMEONE WOULD GET BACK TO ME BY THE END OF THE DAY 12-3-18. ON 12-3-18 BRANDAN FRO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS CALLED BACK, BUT I MISSED HIS CALL. I RETURNED HIS CALL AND LEFT MESSAGES FOR HIM TO CALL ME BACK ON 2 MORE OCCASIONS BUT DID NOT HEAR BACK FROM HIM. ON THE MORNING OF 12-5-18 I CALLED HIM AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO SPEAK WITH HIM. BRANDAN EMPLOYEE # 33678608 TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE COVERING THE PART OR LABOR INVOLVED (APPROX COST ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP OF $450 FOR PARTS AND LABOR). I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAD A TOTAL OF 8 RECALLS DOCUMENTED UNDER THE NHTSA OF WHICH 3 OF DEALT WITH THE OCCUPANT SIDE AIRBAG AND OCS (#16V911000, #16V24400 AND #15V681000) AND THAT IT WAS A SAFTY ISSUE AND WAS NO FAULT OF OURS AND BASED UPON ALL THIS INFORMATION THE CORRECT THING TO DO WOULD BE TO COVER THIS ISSUE. HE APOLOGIZED OVER-AND-OVER BUT WOULD NOT COMMIT TO COVER THIS. IT IS OF MY OPINION AND THE OPINION OF THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS ISSUE IS MOST LIKELY RELATED TO ANY ONE OF THOSE 3 RECALLS AND I AM THEREFORE CALLING UPON THE NHTSA TO ASSIST WITH THIS BY ADDING THIS AS ANOTHER RECALL AND ALLOWING US TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THE ISSUE AS WELL AS TO PROTECT OTHER OWNERS THAT MAY ENCOUNTER THE SAME ISSUE.
