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.
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 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.

2015 ALTIMA HAS INCURRED TWO SEPARATE WATER LEAK ISSUES WITHIN TWO MONTHS. FIRST, DIAGNOSED AS CLOGGED AC DRAIN. THIS REQUIRED COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF CARPET. THIS WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. SECOND, DIAGNOSED AS FAULTY FIREWALL GROMMET ON STEERING ASSEMBLY. THIS ALLOWED EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF RAINWATER TO FLOOD DRIVER SIDE CARPET AND UNDER DASH ELECTRICAL WHILE DRIVING. NISSAN CLAIMS IS NOT A WARRANTY-ABLE FAILURE DUE TO "NATURE" BEING SOURCE OF WATER WHICH FLOODED THROUGH FIREWALL. DEALER STATES THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON 2013-2017 ALTIMAS NISSAN ALSO DOES NOT SEE HOW FAILURE OF FIREWALL GROMMET (S) COULD LEAD TO VEHICLES SINKING FASTER IN THE EVENT OF A WATER CRASH.

DRIVING AT NIGHT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON YET YOU CAN BARELY SEE AHEAD OF YOU. AT TIMES YOU ARE FORCED TO TURN ON THE HIGH BEAMS WHICH ENDANGERS OTHER DRIVERS. I HAD EVEN RECEIVED A CITATION FOR FLASHING MY LIGHTS BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO CLEARLY SEE THE STREET SIGNS. THIS SITUATION IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS WHEN TURNING. THE PROBLEM IS YOU CANNOT SEE THE ROAD CLEARLY AND ENDS UP SOMETIMES IN THE WRONG LANE. I WAS MAKING A LEFT ONE NIGHT AND ENDED UP TOO FAR DOWN THE ROAD THAT I WAS ON. AS I WAS TRYING TO TURN, OTHER CARS WERE TURNING ON MY RIGHT ON A ONE LANE ROAD. I JUST COULD NOT SEE WELL ENOUGH TO FOLLOW THE CURVE. WHEN RIDING WITH OTHER PASSENGERS AT NIGHT, THEY NEVER FAIL TO ALERT ME TO THE FACT THAT MY HEADLIGHTS ARE OFF. I USUALLY HAVE A HARD TIME CONVINCING THEM THAT THEY ARE WRONG.

I WAS TOLD THAT MY LIGHTS SEEMED VERY DIMMED. BEING THAT I LIVE IN THE CITY FULL LIGHTS SO IT'S HARD TO TELL BUT I'VE NOTICED THE LAST COUPLE OF TIMES I'VE GONE OUT OF TOWN AND HAD TO TAKE DARKER ROADS, THE LIGHTING ON THE VEHICLE IS TERRIBLE. YOU CAN BARELY SEE 5FT IN FRONT OF YOU AND THAT'S VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING....SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

I OWN 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA, I WANT NHTSA TO BE AWARE OF SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUE. I WAS ON 95 SOUTH IN WASHINGTON DC WHEN MY VEHICLE HESITATED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AS I PUSHED MY GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR MY CAR WOULD SLIGHTLY MOVE FORWARD. WHEN I WAS TRYING TO MOVE TO THE FAR RIGHT SHOULDER, I WAS ALMOST HIT BY MACK TRUCK. MY CAR WAS BARELY MOVES. THE ALMOST CAUSED SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLE MY LIFE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY 8/23/2018 ON MY WAY TO WORK. I WAS AT STOP LIGHT I PUSH THE ACCELERATOR AND MY VEHICLE BARELY MOVED. I WAS TOLD BY THE NISSAN DEALER THAT IT CVT TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER SAID THEY ARE GETTING A DOZEN 2015 NISSAN A WEEK WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS MY CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. THIS IS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO FIX.

THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS OFF. MY WIFE WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT AT THE TIME. SHE HAD HER SEAT BELT ON. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY AT THE TIME. I HAVE THIS ON VIDEO THAT SHOWS THAT THIS LASTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 12 MINUTES BEFORE THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE AIRBAG SYSTEM INDICATED THAT THE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. THIS IS 12 MINUTES WHERE MY WIFE WAS NOT PROTECTED BY AN AIRBAG SYSTEM. THE VIDEO THAT I HAVE IS FROM AND IPHONE AND IS NOT IN A SUPPORTED FILE FORMAT FOR UPLOADING. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SEND IT TO YOU ANOTHER WAY. I CONTACTED THE NHTSA ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING. I CONTACTED NISAN AT THE SAME TIME AND THEY INDICATED THAT WITHOUT ANY ERROR CODES, THERE IS NO PROOF THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE OR IS REALLY HAPPENING. I HAVE DOCUMENTED VIDEO EVIDENCE THAT THIS IN FACT DID OCCUR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN WHICH NO ONE SEAMS TO CARE ABOUT. YOU WOULD THINK THAT WITH ALL OF THE RECENT TROUBLES WITH AIRBAGS, SOMEONE WOULD TAKE SOME INTEREST IN LOOKING INTO THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE ISSUE. I AM ASKING THE NHTSA TO PLEASE ASSIST ME IN GETTING THIS SAFETY ISSUE RESOLVED. I CONTACTED NISAN AGAIN AND THEY HAVE NOT RETURNED MY CALL.

CAR SHUDDERS AT LOW RPM ACCELERATION AND SOMETIMES STALLS WHEN TURNING ON TO A BUSY STREET. TOLD BY DEALER TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CAR HAS 46000 MILES AND A BRANDED TITLE. CAR RESTORED TO PERFECT CONDITION AFTER MINOR ACCIDENT. NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY FURTHER WARRANTY DUE TO THE BRANDED TITLE. THE REASON FOR COMPLAINT IS THAT THERE IS A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUE. UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES THE WARRANTY WOULD COVER THE POWERTRAIN FOR UP TO 60,000 MILES REGARDLESS OF THE EXTENDED POWERTRAIN WARRANTY THAT NISSAN HAS GRANTED TO OTHER ALTIMA OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM.

MY NISSAN ALTIMA CVT TRANSMISSION IS GOING UP AGAIN. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME AND NISSAN HAD MY CAR FOR ALMOST THREE WEEKS AND I HAD TO CALL AND SEE A STATUS AND IF I DIDN'T I STILL WOULDN'T OF GOT A CALL ABOUT IT. THEY TOLD ME THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE ON THE CONTROL MODULE OF THE TRANSMISSION AND THERE IS A NOTE IN MY ACCOUNT THAT I CAN BRING IT UP AS MANY TIMES AS I NEED TO WITH NO CHARGE TO ME. ARE YOU KIDDING ME RED FLAG, AND LETS NOT FORGET THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THEY HAD MY VEHICLE ON THE SAME PROBLEM AND THIS IS A RED FLAG FOR NOT KNOWING HOW MANY MORE TIMES THIS WILL HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE BUT IT WILL HAPPEN. THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS A VEHICLE WITH NO RELIABILITY WITH IT, COSTS YOU AN ARM AND LEG, AND THE CAR IS CRAP. THEY ALL NEED TO BE RECALLED. THE VEHICLE MAKES A WHINEY NOSE GOING DOWN OR UP HILLS, THE RPM'S GET STUCK IN 2ND GEAR AND DON'T LET YOU GO ABOVE 20MPH UNLESS YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF AND THEN STOMP IT TO THE FLOOR TO KICK IT OUT OF GEAR, AND THE CAR TRIES TO OVERDUE YOUR DRIVING TO DO ITS OWN. THE TRANSMISSION IS CRAP AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AFTER ALL THE REVIEWS OUT THERE SAYING THE SAME THING FROM 2008 TO AT LEAST 2015 OR 2016.
