Recalls and investigations
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.

Latches/locks/linkages, doors, latchJan 18, 2017
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.

Air bags, sensor, occupant classificationApr 26, 2016
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF, Sentra, and Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60, QX60 Hybrid, and Q50 Hybrid, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue and Infiniti Q50, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Murano Hybrid, and Chevrolet City Express, 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid, and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. 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. Interim notices were sent to owners on May 31, 2016. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669, Infiniti customer service at 1-888-833-3216 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020.

LAST SUMMER I HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE BUTTERFLY VALVE ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. IT WAS A SATURDAY, I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND THE ONLY PLACE THAT WAS OPEN AND THE CLOSEST WAS THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I TOOK IT IN THERE THEY FIXED IT, BUT THE REPAIRS WERE OVER 1 GRAND. I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY LYING AROUND SO I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE TO ASK IF I CAN HAVE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THEY SAID BECAUSE I DON'T SERVICE MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY CAN NOT FINANCE ME AND HELP ME WITH IT. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IS OUT OF MY WAY TO GET IT SERVICED. SECOND ISSUE STARTED RECENTLY AND THAT IS WHEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR THERE IS NOT VERY GOOD ACCELERATION AND ONCE I HIT 20 MPH I START TO HEAR A WHINING NOISE. I DID SOME DIGGING IN SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS AND THOSE WITH SIMILAR ISSUES HAVE BEEN TOLD ITS THE CVT TRANSMISSION. LAST WEEK I BARLEY WENT OVER 73,000 MILES ON MY ODOMETER. I DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO REPLACE AN ENTIRE TRANSMISSION, NOR DO I REALLY CARE TO. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN AS LONG AS I LIVE. THERE COOPERATE CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS AS WELL AS THERE CVT TRANSMISSIONS!!

MY VEHICLE IS NOT ACCELERATING IT IS TAKING A HALF A SECOND TO A SECOND TO ACCELERATE IT'S JERKING AS YOU HIT THE ACCELERATOR AND IT'S NOT HAPPENING EVERY DAY IT'S HAPPENING LIKE EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS AND IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSIONI HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS NOW

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TWICE WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF USING THIS CAR. AND IT WAS ONE OF THE SEVERE TYPES OF ILLNESS THE CAR HAS, IF NOT FIXED I COULD'VE BEEN STUCK ON A REMOTE AREA WITH NO PHONE RECEPTION, WHICH WHERE I LIVE BY THE WAY. THE CAR HAD A SLOW ACCELERATION, WHEN I STOPPED ON A STOP LIGHT/SIGN. HAD THAT FIXED ON DECEMBER RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS WEEK, BUT ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AFTER 2 WEEKS OF DRIVING IT, CAR WON'T SHIFT GEARS AGAIN, SLOW ACCELERATION, PROBABLY HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH ITS TRANSMISSION ETC.

I HAVE A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH 85,000 MILES THAT IS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING SOME ISSUES. I'VE FOUND MULTIPLE PEOPLE ONLINE THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE AT TIMES WHEN PUSHING DOWN THE ACCELERATOR WILL NOT RESPOND THEN SUDDENLY TAKE OFF LIKE IT'S IN 3RD GEAR. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TOO GET STUCK IN INTERSECTIONS WITH NO POWER AND NEARLY CAUSING ACCIDENTS. NISSAN IS SAYING THERE IS NO ISSUE. HOW CAN THIS NOT BE A SAFETY RECALL?
Steering, Vehicle speed control, Engine, Nov 24, 2019
ACCELERATING ONTO THE HIGHWAY ON YESTERDAY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CANE ON AS WELL AND MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WHICH CAUSED MY CAR TO LOSE POWER. I WAS ABLE TO GET RIGHT BACK OFF THE FREEWAY AND TURN INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT STARTED WITH THE SAME LIGHTS ON. I HAD MY TRANSMISSION REBUILT AT 73,000 MILES WITH A 12,000 MILE WARRANTY ALREADY BUT I DON'T THINK THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS THE ISSUE THIS TIME. I HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO THE NISSAN OF GRAPEVINE DEALERSHIP AGAIN BECAUSE I REFUSE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH MY 3 MONTH OLD AND SIXTEEN YEAR OLD IN THE CAR
Power train, Vehicle speed control, Engine, Nov 1, 2019
STARTED VEHICLE THIS MORNING AND PUT IN REVERSE AND PRESSED THE PEDAL TO BACK OUT AND HAD A DELAYED REACTION AND THE RPM'S JUST INCREASED. THE CAR DID NOT MOVE FOR APPROXIMATELY FOUR TO FIVE SECONDS AND FINALLY BACKED OUT. PLACED THE CAR IN DRIVE AND DROVE TOWARD A STOP SIGN APPROXIMATELY 100 YARDS AWAY AND IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS LOSING POWER AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND AGAIN THE RPM'S INCREASED BUT SEEMED LIKE IT WOULD NOT MOVE. DROVE VEHICLE BACK HOME AND WITH SAME ISSUES AND PARKED FOR ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES. TRIED TO DUPLICATE BUT DROVE JUST FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE WHILE AT A RED LIGHT ABOUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. TRIED ACCELERATING AND WOULD BARELY ACCELERATE LIKE IT HAD NO POWER. PLACED IN PARK, CUT THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I HIT THE ACCELERATOR AND IT DARTED OFF. LUCKILY, THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENTS BUT HAVE CONCERNS IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE ON A HIGHWAY. THIS ALTIMA ON HAS OVER 53K MILES AND HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS IS HAPPENING BECAUSE I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT HAVE READ SEVERAL STATEMENTS ON THE INTERNET FROM OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. NOT SURE WHY NISSAN HAS NOT PLACED A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT IS VERY UNSAFE.

I JUST PURCHASED A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA FROM HERTZ CAR SALES IN APRIL 2019. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO CHANGE THE BATTERY, AND NOW I HAVE A NEW HEADACHE. ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 2019 OF LAST WEEK WHEN I STOPPED AT A CROSSWALK, ON A CITY STREET, TO ALLOW A PEDESTRIAN TO CROSS, WITHOUT ANY FOREWARNING THE CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. I HAD TO RESTART IT AND IT DID SO WITH NO PROBLEM, BUT THEN I NOTICED THAT THE CAR FELT VERY HESITANT TO DRIVE. AS I WAS DRIVING IT FELT AS THOUGH THE CAR WAS GOING TO STOP AT ANY MINUTE. ESPECIALLY WHEN I WOULD BRAKE, SLOW DOWN, OR COMPLETELY STOP.I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR A FEW TIMES DURING MY COMMUTE. ALSO, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A FEW DAYS NOW SO I HAD 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS LOOK AT MY CAR. THE FIRST ONE SAID THAT IT MAY BE THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR, BUT HE WAS NOT 100% CERTAIN. THE SECOND SHOP I WENT TO SAID IT WAS THE VTC SOLENOID,AND THE THIRD PLACE THAT I CHECKED GAVE ME AN ACTUAL ERROR # OF P0011 INTAKE VALVE TIMING, VALVE CONTROL.
Vehicle speed control, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Jul 24, 2019
WHEN I AM STOPPED (AT A STOP SIGN, TRAFFIC LIGHT, ETC.) THE CAR HESITATES TO ACCELERATE WHEN I PRESS THE GAS. IT SOMETIMES TAKES 5 TO 7 SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR WILL BEGIN TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY, AND THERE IS NO WARNING. THERE HAVE BEEN INSTANCES WHEN THE RPMS REV UP EXTREMELY HIGH AND THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS STRUGGLING TO MAINTAIN SPEED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, AND SINCE THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE THE ISSUE, AND NOTHING SHOWS UP WHEN THEY RUN DIAGNOSTICS, THEY HAVE STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW AND CURRENTLY IT HAS 46,000 MILES, AND I CURRENTLY DON'T FEEL SAFE WHEN DRIVING IT. THIS HAS BEEN RANDOMLY HAPPENING FOR MONTHS.
Other or unspecified, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Jul 23, 2019
I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY HAD LOSS OF POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. NO WARNINGS OR CODES APPEARED AND AFTER PULLING OVER FOR 2 MINUTES THE VEHICLE ALLOWED ACCELERATION AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES, AND THE NISSAN CAR DEALERSHIP COULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE
Engine, Jul 7, 2019
CAR HESITATES AND RPMS REVS UP ACTS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL AND DIE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 55-80MPH. ENGINE MAKES ACCELERATION NOISES FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING. WHEN YOU SIT FOR 10 MIN AND THEN GO TO DRIVE CAR WILL NOT MOVE AT TIMES. WHEN YOU STOP AT STOP SIGNS OR STOP LIGHTS THEN TRY TO DRIVE AGAIN YOUR FOOT WILL BE ALL THE WAY DOWN ON GAS PEDAL CAR ROLLS FORWARD AT MAYBE 5MPH ALMOST GOT HIT MULTIPLE TIMES. LIGHT TURNS RED I'M IN MIDDLE OF STREET AND CAR WONT DRIVE. THIS HAS GONE ON MAINLY IN WARMER WEATHER AFTER RUNNING AC AND SITTING IN CAR THEN TRYING TO DRIVE. WHEN GET OUT OF CAR NOTICE A SLIGHT BURNING SMELL AND ANTIFREEZE SMELL. GOOD 50 TIMES IN PAST YEAR I'VE HAD THIS CAR. NO ONE CAN FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR TO FIX ISSUE. AT STOP LIGHTS HAVE TO TURN CAR OFF AND TURN BACK ON TO GET CAR TO MOVE WHEN IT STARTS ACTING UP OUT OF FEAR SOMEONE WILL END UP HITTING ME BECAUSE MY CAR HESITATES TO GO. DRIVES FINE AS LONG AS I GO FROM POINT A TO B. IF I START CAR LET AC RUN TO COOL DOWN THEN SIT IN CAR WHILE RUNNING LIKE IN DRIVE THRU FOR 10 MIN THEN CONTINUE TO DRIVE WILL HAVE THESE ISSUES. HAVENT TRIED WITH RUNNING HEAT INSTEAD OF AC.
