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.

Power train, Electrical system, Feb 7, 2019
ON WEDNESDAY 1/30/2019 MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING NORTH ON I-17 ENTERING FLAGSTAFF WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING. THE ENGINE WAS REVING TO ABOUT 6000 RPM BUT THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 5 MPH. SHE MANAGED TO GET THE CAR TO A PARKING LOT AND CALL ME FOR HELP. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES THE TRANSMISSION COOLED DOWN AND WORKED NORMALLY. I HAD HER TAKE THE CAR TO A LOCAL SHOP AND HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THEY GOT A CODE P0776. THEY CONTACTED NISSAN AND FOUND THE CAR TO BE UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED UNTIL 100,000 MILES. MY DAUGHTER DROVE HOME THE NEXT DAY AND WE TOOK IT INTO PINNACLE NISSAN WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR. THEY COULD NOT GET THE CODE TO COME UP SO ARE UNABLE TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS ABOUT THE TENTH TIME THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS SLIPPED, THIS BEING THE MOST SEVERE. PINNACLE NISSAN AND NISSAN USA ARE TELLING ME TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON, THEN BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. I TOLD THEM BOTH THAT THE WARNING LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS, SO COULD THERE BE A PROBLEM WITH THE CARS COMPUTER ALSO WHICH IS WHY THEY CAN NOT GET A CODE TO COME UP? THEY SAID NO, THAT IS NOT HAPPENING?
Vehicle speed control, Feb 5, 2019
ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BUT GETTING NO RESPONSE FROM THE VEHICLE AND AFTER 5-15 SECONDS IT GOES UNDER FULL POWER AND LUNGES FORWARD. I HAVE ALSO RECENTLY HAD 2 SITUATIONS WHERE THE VEHICLE SLOWED UP UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING AND AT THE SAME TIME MY RPM METER WOULD START JUMPING UP AND DOWN AND AGAIN WITH NO RESPONSE FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. IN THESE 2 SITUATIONS I PULLED OFF THE ROAD, SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, SAT FOR ABOUT 2-5 MINUTES AND THEN STARTED IT UP AGAIN WITH NO ISSUES. I HAVE READ SOME OTHER POSTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE STATING THAT THIS COULD BE THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR HOWEVER I HAVE NOT HAD MINE CHECKED YET.

Power train, Jan 23, 2019

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO METRO NISSAN OF MONTCLAIR (9440 AUTOPLEX ST, MONTCLAIR, CA 91763, 909-625-5575) AND WAS REPAIRED. THE DIAGNOSTIC DETAILS WERE UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 34,900.
Power train, Jan 16, 2019
2016 ALTIMA, BARELY 3 YEARS OLD, 71,000 MILES. ABOUT A WEEK AGO, THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK AND SHUDDER AND RPM'S JUMP UP AND DOWN WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. BEFORE THE DAY WAS OVER, IT WAS HAPPENING WHILE I WAS DRIVING (ANY WHERE FROM 0-60+MPH). THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I HIT THE GAS, IT MAY JERK/LURCH FORWARD OR MAY NOT GO ANYWHERE. I WOULD HAVE TO LET OFF THE GAS AND TRY AGAIN. SOME TIMES IT WOULD CORRECT ITSELF, OTHER TIMES NOT AND RPM'S WOULD STAY HIGH-- 3-5. FELT LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO "CHANGE GEARS" (ITS A CVT SO ONLY ONE "GEAR") WHILE JERKING AND ACCELERATING/DECELERATING. VERY DISTRACTING AND CONCERNING TO SAY THE LEAST. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY TO HAVE THE DIAGNOSTICS RAN. WAS CONTACTED AND TOLD IT WAS THROWING 2 CODES - SUB ASSEMBLY FAILURE AND PRESSURE FLUID SENSOR FAILURE. THESE ARE TRANSMISSION CODES. WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION, $4200 OUT THE DOOR..... IN WHAT WORLD IS IT "NORMAL" FOR A FAIRLY NEW CAR WITH NO PRIOR ISSUES TO HAVE A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE?? THE DEALER AGREED THERE IS NOTHING WE COULD'VE DONE TO PREVENT THIS. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND FILED A COMPLAINT, REQUESTING GOODWILL ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIR COSTS. I WAS TOLD SOMEONE WOULD GET BACK TO ME BY CLOSE OF BUSINESS TOMORROW. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. READING THESE COMMENTS, IT APPEARS THAT THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSIONS DO NOT PERFORM MUCH BETTER. I WILL BE GETTING OUT OF THIS CAR ASAP.
Power train, Jan 9, 2019
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR WOULD DECREASE IN SPEED AND ACTED IF IT WANTED TO STALL.I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS READING A CODE WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND AS SCHEDULED TO COME IN 3 DAYS L AS LATER WHEN THE PART WAS IN. AFTER BEING AT THE DEALERSHIP ALMOST HALF A DAY, THEY TELL ME THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THE DEALERSHIP ATTEMPTED TO GET ME TO DRIVE IT HOME (OVER AN HOUR AWAY( AND BRING IT BACK ANOTHER DAY. I WAS NOT GOING TO ACCEPT THIS AND REQUESTED A CAR TO DRIVE, WHICH THEY DID DO SO. HOWEVER, WHEN ENTERPRISE RENTAL PICKED ME UP, THEY IMMEDIATELY KNEW IT WAS TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT THEY ARE ONLY GOOD FOR 2 YEARS.

ON SATURDAY, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. I WENT TO A CAR SHOP LATE AFTERNOON AT AND THEY READ CODES FOR 2 ISSUE W/TRANSMISSION AND 1 CODE FOR ABS. THE CAR IS STALLS AT STOPLIGHTS, REVERSE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL TIMES EXCESSIVE EXHAUST WAS COMING OUT OF TAILPIPES. ON HIGHWAY, THE TACHOMETER MOVES FAST WHEN ADDING ACCELERATION AND POWER DELAYS. WHEN I GO TO THE WYLER DEALERSHIPS IN CINCINNATI, OHIO, THEY HAVE 2-3 MONTH DELAY ON TRANSMISSION WORK AND OTHERS IN THE AREA (WYLER EASTGATE) ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH A BACKLOG OF TRANSMISSION WORK - THIS SEEMS TO BE A BRAND ISSUE WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND WHEN ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE GETTING WORK DONE ON THEIR NISSAN TRANSMISSIONS AT THE DEALERSHIPS THIS IS DEFINITELY A QUALITY ISSUE. I HOPE YOU REQUEST A RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS OR PROVIDE A REBATE TO GET THIS WORK DONE AT THE DEALERSHIPS FOR THE NISSAN CUSTOMERS. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SPOKE W/ ADAM HE PROVIDES ME WITH A CASE #33804054 (VERY PLEASANT FELLOW) ONCE I CAN GET INTO A DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE THIS WEEK (WYLER OF CINCINNATI) IN COLERAIN. THANK YOU
