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.

AS MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DROP SPEED FROM 70 MILES TO ABOUT 10 MILES PER HOUR. AS I TRIED TO SPEED UP BY ACCELERATING, THE SPEED WOULD NOT GO HIGHER AND WOULD JUST CONTINUE TO DROP. THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME WERE ABLE TO SEE I WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY AND WOULD SLOW DOWN WHEN THEY GOT CLOSE AND GO AROUND ME, SO I AM GLAD NO ACCIDENTS HAPPENED SINCE WE WERE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IN HIGH SPEED WHEN THIS STARTED TO OCCUR. WE DROVE LIKE THIS FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES SINCE WE WERE DRIVING BACK HOME FROM OUT OF TOWN. AT SOME POINTS IT FELT AS THE VEHICLE WAS ABOUT TO TURN OFF WHILE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WOULD JERK WHILE DRIVING AND SPEED UP ON IT'S OWN AS WELL AT TIMES. WHEN I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A RED LIGHT THE CAR SAID IT WAS GOING 60 MILES PER AND I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 5 MILES PER HOUR. IT WOULD NOT BREAK AS I STEPPED ON THE BREAK, TAKING IT A WHILE TO RESPOND. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING AFTER I ACCELERATED, AND AFTER A WHILE START TO MOVE SLOWLY AND GAIN SPEED VERY SLOWLY. AN ERROR ALSO APPEARED BUT I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT IT DISPLAYED.

Power train, Other or unspecified, Jun 5, 2019
TRANSMISSION PROBLEM FOR MILES OVER 60,000. WHEN AT STOP LIGHT AND TRY TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGES, CAR DOES NOT MOVE WHEN ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. WHILE DRIVING, CAR DOES NOT SWITCH GEARS AND CAR SLOWS DOWN. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. IF YOU ARE DRIVING ONE OF THESE CARS, IT WILL BE DEADLY ONE DAY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THESE VEHICLES CAN BE SOLD. AFTER MANY PEOPLE LOSE THEIR LIVES, SOMEONE WILL NOTICE. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS ON CITY STREETS AND ALSO INTERSTATE DRIVING.

I HAVE A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH ABOUT 68,000 MILES AND MY TRANSMISSION HAS TROUBLE CHANGING GEARS AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A FEW MINUTES. AS I CHANGE GEARS FROM 0 TO 40 MPH, THE CAR STARTS JERKING OR TAKES A WHILE TO REACH 40 MPH. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I'M DRIVING AROUND THE CITY AND I MAKE A FULL STOP AT A STOP LIGHT. AFTER THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN, WHEN I START ACCELERATING THE CAR WON'T SPEED UP NO MATTER HOW FAR I PUSH THE ACCELERATOR, AFTER 6-10 SECONDS HAVE PASSED IT'LL START MOVING BUT IN A VERY JERKING MANNER. TO FIX THE ISSUE AT THE MOMENT, I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND LET IT REST FOR A FEW MINUTES. BUT, IT STILL DOES THIS EVERY TIME I DRIVE. IN THE HIGHWAY, I CAN NOT GO FASTER THAN 70 MPH BECAUSE ONCE I GET OUT OF THE HIGH WAY AND SLOW DOWN THE CAR WILL HAVE THE SAME GEAR CHANGING ISSUE AND IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR WILL GIVE UP ANY SECOND. THIS WASN'T AN ISSUE WHEN I GOT THIS CAR WITH ABOUT 48,000 MILES ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. IT STARTED ABOUT 8 MONTHS AFTER GETTING IT AND IT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. I TOOK MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC TO LET ME KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND HE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE CVT TRANSMISSION. SINCE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT DOESN'T FALL UNDER THE RECALL MADE FOR THE CVT TRANSMISSION, MY ONLY SOLUTION WOULD BE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THREE DAYS AFTER THE VEHICLE UNDERWENT A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) FAILED TO PROPERLY CHANGE OVER FOR THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WENT FROM 65 MPH TO LESS THAN 45 MPH, WHICH CAUSED THE RISK OF A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN CAUTIOUSLY TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND THEN TOWED TO PRIORITY NISSAN RICHMOND (16301 PRIORITY WAY, CHESTER, VA 23831, (804) 414-0550). THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE CVT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BASED ON THE MILEAGE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000. *BF THE CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE REPAIRED ON 05/03/19 PRIOR TO BREAKDOWN. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. MY CAR STARTED MESSING UP AFTER I CAME BACK FROM TEXAS. IT WAS DOING FINE UNTIL IT STARTED LOSING POWER. WHEN I PRESS THE GAS IT WAS GOING SLOW AND I COULD PRESS IT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE. THE DEALER THAT I GOT IT FROM (CAR KING) HAVE WENT OUT OF BUSINESS AND THEY ARE IN A LOT OF TROUBLE.
Power train, May 26, 2019
MY VEHICLE'S CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 97,000 MILES. I EXPERIENCED THE SAME SYMPTOMS EVERYONE ELSE HAS EXPERIENCED WITH THIS TRANSMISSION - VIBRATIONS, WILDLY FLUCTUATING RPMS AND FREQUENT DOWNSHIFTS. WITHIN A MATTER OF A FEW DAYS THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING. I FEEL LUCKY I WASN'T KILLED WHEN MY VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION SLIPPED WHILE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO CROSS TRAFFIC. AFTER MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER QUOTED ME A PRICE OF $4,087 FOR A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT, I CALLED NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE AND REQUESTED THEY COVER THE REPLACEMENT COST OF THE CVT BUT THEY REFUSED. NO THREE-YEAR-OLD, NORMALLY-DRIVEN VEHICLE UNDER 100,000 MILES SHOULD EVER HAVE ITS TRANSMISSION FAIL. THE NISSAN CVT PROBLEM IS A NATIONAL TRAVESTY. I WAS A NISSAN CUSTOMER FOR LIFE BUT WILL NEVER PURCHASE NOR ENDORSE THEIR VEHICLES EVER AGAIN.

I PURCHASED A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA IN 2017. AFTER ABOUT 60,000 MILES I NOTICED IT STARTED TO JERK WHEN I ACCELERATED. SINCE MY OXYGEN SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE ISSUE. ONCE I HIT 70,000 MILES MY TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY WENT OUT ON ME. JUST 10,000 MILES OVER THEIR FACTORY WARRANTY. NISSAN HAS EXTENDED THEIR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY IN THE PAST. HOWEVER, SINCE MY CAR IS A 2016 IT IS NOT COVERED IN THAT WARRANTY EXTENSION. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEIR CVT TRANSMISSIONS. RATHER THAN FIXING THE ISSUE THEY EXTENDED IT ON OLDER MODELS, AND LEFT EVERYONE ELSE TO FIX IT ON OUR OWN DIME. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR EVERYONE OF THEIR VEHICLES NOT JUST A SELECT FEW OLDER MODELS. I HAVE OWNED A NISSAN FOR 12 YEARS. NEVER EVER AGAIN WILL I PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN. SINCE THEY OBVIOUSLY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT PURCHASE THEIR VEHICLES
