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.

Back over prevention, sensing system, cameraSep 12, 2019
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Nissan Altima, Armada, Frontier, Kicks, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, NV, NV200, Pathfinder, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Sentra, Titan, Titan Diesel, Versa Note and Versa Sedan vehicles, as well as Infiniti Q50, Q60, QX30 and QX80 vehicles. Additionally included are 2019 Nissan GT-R and Taxi and Infiniti QX50, QX60, Q70, Q70L vehicles. The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.

Air bags, Mar 24, 2020
WE WERE DRIVING AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. WE WERE NOT IN ANY KIND OF ACCIDENT. PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF, HAD PASSENGER GET OUT OF CAR AND BACK IN THEN RESTARTED THE CAR. LIGHT WENT OFF LIKE NORMAL. SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING IT CAME BACK ON AND NOW NO LONGER TURNS OFF, DISABLING MY AIR BAGS. HAVE TRIED TO NOT HAVE PASSENGERS, HAVE PASSENGERS, NOT HAVE SEAT BELT, HAVE SEAT BELT AND NOTHING FIXES IT. CHECKED THE AIRBAG FUSE AND FUSE IS INTACT. CHECKED THAT FRONT BUMPER SENSOR WAS CLEAN AND HAD NO DAMAGE. DISCONNECTED BATTERY, WAITED 15 MINUTES AND RECONNECTED. LOGHT REMAINS ILLUMINATED. TRIED TO LET THE CAR RUN FOR 20 MINUTES AND LIGHT IS STILL ILLUMINATED. RAN CAR SELF DIAGNOSTIC AND NOTHING SHOWED. UNSURE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH TO TURN THE LIGHT ON AND CAUSE IT TO NO LONGER TURN OFF. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND NEED TO FIND A CERTIFIED REPAIR PLACE TO HAVE IT FIXED PROPERLY.

RADAR SENSOR FOR AEB AND FCW MALFUNCTIONING, TURNING OFF AT RANDOM SITUATIONS, BRAKING WHEN NO VEHICLE IS NEAR, FALSE ALERTS CROSSING RAIL ROAD TRACKS, ETC. TOOK TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY BUT ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED SINCE THEY CLAIM TO BE BECAUSE OF POTENTIAL PRIOR CRASH. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPORTED IN A CRASH, AND AEB IS MALFUNCTIONING CONSTANTLY TO THE POINT WHERE IT MAY BE UNSAFE INSTEAD OF A SAFETY FEATURE.

VEHICLE DISPLAYS AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM NOT AVAILABLE WHILE DRIVING.
Visibility/wiper, Feb 9, 2020
BOTH SIDE MIRRORS FOG EVERY TIME IT RAINS. EVEN IF ITS LIGHT RAIN . I'VE BEEN IN TWO NEAR FATAL ACCIDENTS REGARDING THIS MATTER. NEVER SEEN SIDE MIRRORS FOG LIKE THIS !! THEY NEED TO ISSUE A RECALL AND INSTALL ELECTRIC HEATED SIDE MIRRORS BEFORE PEOPLE START DYING! CALLED NISSAN AND THEY IGNORED ME A USUAL. I'VE BEEN DRIVING EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS IN BUSY FREEWAYS AND CANNOT SEE A THING. THE MIRROR IS MADE OF SOME CHEAP GLASS LIKE MATERIAL. THESE ARE NOT REAL MIRRORS.
Electrical system, Service brakes, Jan 22, 2020
THE CAR WILL NOT START USING PUSH TO START WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED. THE CAR IS AN AUTOMATIC AND THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO A FAULTY STOP LIGHT SWITCH. THE SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND THE CAR IS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD.
Other or unspecified, Jan 19, 2020
SINCE THE TIME THIS VEHICLE WAS NEW THE FRONTAL AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB) SYSTEM TURNS ITSELF OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING REGARDLESS OF WEATHER OR ROAD CONDITIONS. ON OTHER OCCASIONS IT GIVES FALSE WARNINGS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO AUTOMATICALLY APPLY THE BRAKES TO AVOID WHAT IT CONSIDERS AN IMMINENT COLLISION HAZARD. NISSAN HAS ALSO ISSUED SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH OTHER NISSAN MODELS EQUIPPED WITH THE AEB SYSTEM.
Exterior lighting, Service brakes, Engine, Jan 13, 2020
THE VEHICLE IS FREQUENTLY NOT RECOGNIZING THAT THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED. THE BRAKES WORK FINE BUT WITH THE CAR NOT RECOGNIZING THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED, IT WILL NOT START (AS IT IS A PUSH BUTTON START AND THE BRAKE NEEDS TO BE DEPRESSED FOR THE CAR TO START). ALSO BECAUSE OF IT NOT RECOGNIZING THAT THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED, IT OCCASIONALLY WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. ADDITIONALLY BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS OTHER VEHICLES DO NOT KNOW THAT THE CAR IS BRAKING. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AS WELL AS WHEN IT IS BEING DRIVEN BOTH AT LOW SPEEDS AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE BRAKE LIGHT SENSOR I BELIEVE IS TO BLAME FOR ALL OF THE ABOVE ISSUES. APPARENTLY IT IS FAIRLY COMMON WITH NISSAN ALTIMAS AND OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES AS WELL. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THAT PART AS IT CREATES UNSAFE CONDITIONS. THE CAR IS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS 34,000 MILES ON IT. I TRIED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW BUT THEIR FIRST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT IS 6-8 WEEKS AWAY. I AM BRINGING IT INTO ANOTHER REPAIR FACILITY TOMORROW AS IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED URGENTLY AND CANNOT WAIT MONTHS.

NTERMITTENT FRONT RADAR. WARNING MESSAGE WILL APPEAR STATING "FRONT RADAR UNAVAILBLE DUE TO OBSTRUCTION" WHEN THERE IS NOT AN OBSTRUCTION. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN IT RAINS INTERMITTANTLY. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE "OBSTRUCTION" IS CLEARED AND THE SYSTEM RESUMES FUNCTIONALITY.

Other or unspecified, Jan 4, 2020
WHEN DRIVING MY 2018 NISSAN ALTIMA, THE CAR BEEPS AND THE MESSAGE "FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION" APPEARS. THEN THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB) SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. IT GOES OFF AND COMES BACK ON LATER. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE TRIP.

THE FRONT RADAR IS FAULTY AND IS CAUSING ISSUES WITH THE FRONT EMERGENCY BRAKING (FEB). THERE IS A NOTIFICATION THAT SAYS "FEB UNAVAILABLE: FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION". THIS IS CAUSING A REGULAR DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER AND ALSO POSES IN A RISK THAT THE VEHICLE MAY AUTOMATICALLY BRAKE UNEXPECTEDLY OR NOT BRAKE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.
Other or unspecified, Dec 23, 2019
FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION APPEARS APPROXIMATELY EVERY TEN MINUTES, FOR NO REASON.
Service brakes, Dec 18, 2019
A WARNING IN THE DASH THAT SAYS, 'FRONT RADAR UNAVAILABLE DUE TO OBSTRUCTION.' THE VEHICLE DOES THIS WHILE IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE HAS 52190 MILES ON IT AT THIS TIME. THE WARNING WILL RESET WHEN TURNING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING. THERE ARE NO ITEMS OBSTRUCTED. NISSAN DEALERSHIP STATED VERY COMMON AND REPLACING A LOT OF THEM. $1200 IS THE COST OF REPAIR QUOTED AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR KNEW THAT WITHOUT LOOKING IT UP. THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE RADAR SENSOR THAT IS USED FOR THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM.
Electronic stability control (ESC), Dec 16, 2019
FRONT COLLISION SENSOR TURNS ON EVEN WITHOUT ANY CARS IN FRONT. THE DEALER SAID SOMETIMES THE RAIN AFFECTS THE SENSOR BUT IT STILL TURNS ON EVEN WHEN IT'S NOT RAINING. ONCE IT'S THE WARNING LIGHT IS ON, IT NEVER TURNS OFF. I'M CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY ESPECIALLY WHEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKES DEPENDS ON THE SENSOR. THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER I DRIVE ON A CITY STREET. I'VE HAD THIS CAR SINCE 12/8/19.
Exterior lighting, Dec 15, 2019
MY HEADLIGHTS ARE AWFUL I CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE LIGHTS PROJECT ON THE GROUND AND I HAVE TO HAVE THE LIGHTS ON BRIGHT JUST TO SEE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE.

INTERMITTENT FRONT RADAR. WARNING MESSAGE WILL APPEAR STATING "FRONT RADAR UNAVAILBLE DUE TO OBSTRUCTION" WHEN THERE IS NOT AN OBSTRUCTION, THEN THE SYSTEM DEACTIVATES THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE "OBSTRUCTION" IS CLEARED AND THE SYSTEM RESUMES FUNCTIONALITY. THIS WILL REPEAT QUITE OFTEN. WHILE I OWN A NISSAN ALTIMA, IT APPEARS THIS IS AN ISSUE IN THE NISSAN SENTRA, AS WELL.
Other or unspecified, Service brakes, Nov 27, 2019
FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION GOES OFF. RECENTLY IT CAUSED PROBLEMS WITH MY ABS TO NOT WORK AND DISENGAGE AT TIMES. COULD BE DRIVING ON AN EMPTY ROAD AND IT WILL GO OFF.

SECOND ISSUE WITH MY 2018 NISSAN ALTIMA. WAS IN THE SHOP IN OCTOBER FOR THE FRONT COLLISION SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING. SENSOR WAS DETECTING OBSTRUCTIONS WHEN NOTHING WAS THERE. LOCAL DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE SENSOR IN OCTOBER. LESS THAN ONE MONTH OUT OF THE SHOP (THIS WEEK), THE SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED AGAIN. STATED FEB: UNAVAILABLE FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION AND WAS STEADILY BLINKING AGAIN.AGAIN, NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE THAT WOULD HAVE TRIGGERED THE SENSOR. CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR REPAIR. DROPPED VEHICLE TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD LOOK AT THE SENSOR AND CHANGE OUT THE BRACKET THE SENSOR SITS IN TO SEE IF THAT CORRECTS THE ISSUE. VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS ISSUE. .
Steering, Service brakes, Nov 21, 2019
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING AROUND A CURVE AT 25 MPH, THE STEERING MALFUNCTIONED AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED WITHOUT WARNING, LOUD SQUEAKING NOISES WERE HEARD, AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JACKSON NISSAN (2400 SEYMOUR RD, JACKSON, MI 49201, (517) 788-8300) AT LEAST TEN TIMES SINCE IT WAS FIRST LEASED IN MAY OF 2018. THE DEALER RECENTLY REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND POWER STEERING PUMP. THE FAILURES RECURRED AND THE CONTACT WAS RELUCTANT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER SENT THE CONTACT A SETTLEMENT RELEASE AND OFFERED TO PAY $2,000. BY SIGNING THE RELEASE, THE CONTACT WOULD RELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER OF ALL LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY IF SOMETHING WENT WRONG. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.
Power train, Service brakes, Engine, Nov 18, 2019
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, DURING THE MORNING, MY CAR ACTIVATED THE BRAKES ON ITS OWN, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENS THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND ASKED FOR THE SENSORS TO BE REMOVED, AND KEPT IT FOR A WHOLE DAY AND APPARENTLY NOTHING WAS DONE, SECONDLY THE (FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION) IS BECOMING ANNOYING. ANOTHER OF THE ISSUES I ENCOUNTERED WITH THIS MY ALTIMA IS THE SHIFTING, FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR IT FEELS AS IF THE GEARS WERE STUCK, ALSO TOOK IT IN THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THIS COULD NOT BE TRUE BECAUSE MY ALTIMA DOESN'T HAVE A REGULAR TRANSMISSION IT HAS A BAND, SO I RESPONDED, YOU KNOW MORE THAN ME, JUST PLEASE MAKE A NOTE OF MY ISSUE AND I DON'T WANT TO BE STUCK WITH A LEMON, I AM SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS ENCOUNTERED THESE ISSUES

THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING COMPONENT BECOMES 'UNAVAILABLE' WHEN THERE IS NOTHING (NO DIRT OR RAIN, SNOW) BLOCKING THE SENSOR. I KEEP THE SENSOR WIPED CLEAN AND ON A NICE SUNNY DAY, WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY, BOULEVARD, RESIDENTIAL STREETS. THE SENSOR WARNING WILL TELL ME 'FCW UNAVAILABLE' WITH THE 'SYMBOL' OF TWO CARS CRASHING. IT GOES ON FOR A WHILE THEN OFF THEN BACK ON AGAIN. IN THE PHOTO BELOW, I'D JUST PULLED OVER TO TAKE THE PICTURE OF THE SYMBOL. (THIS WAS 08/20/19.10 DAYS AFTER MY CAR PURCHASE 08/10/19) AT THAT TIME THE SYMBOL ONLY IS SHOWING. I'D JUST TURNED OFF THE BOULEVARD FROM DRIVING 40MPH. CAN'T GET A PIC OF MESSAGE WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION, OF COURSE. THIS IS NOW A REGULAR OCCURRENCE FOR THE 3 MONTHS I'VE HAD MY CAR. TAKING INTO MECHANIC TO GET IT CHECKED END OF NOVEMBER 2019. THIS WARNING OCCURS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS.

AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BREAKING TURNS OFF CONSTANTLY. WHEN A TRUCK TOWING A TRAILER PASSED ME A LIGHT CAME ON AND A MESSAGE FLASHED ON THE DASH. IT SAID THAT THE RADAR WAS UNAVAILABLE BECAUSE OF AN OBSTRUCTION. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT AN INTERSECTION. IT SEEMS TO GO OFF SEVERAL TIMES A DAY WHEN IT SENSES CARS BESIDE ME, AT INTERSECTIONS, TURNING... I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH NISSAN SERVICE AT JEFF WYLER KONG?S NISSAN IN MASON OHIO. THEY FOUND DTC # C1A16 RADAR STAIN AND C1B55-97 RADAR BLOCKAGE. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE RADAR UNIT. IT STILL DIDN?T WORK. THEY SAID THE PART NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO THE TUNE OF $1637.86. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR SPECIFICALLY FOR THE AEB. WE RESEARCHED IT?S RELIABILITY THROUGH CONSUMER REPORTS. I CHECKED AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS ON THE VEHICLE?S HISTORY REPORT. I?D RUN A SMALL GENERAL OBD READER THAT DID NOT SHOW THE CODE BEFORE BUYING. WE ARE PRETTY MAD TO HAVE EXTENDED OURSELVES TO PAY MORE FOR SOMETHING THAT DOESN?T WORK. I?VE CALLED 1800NISSAN1 SO WE?LL SEE IF THEY FIX IT. SO FAR THEY?VE ONLY TOLD ME IT?S NOT COVERED, DESPITE HOW MANY NISSAN MODELS AND YEARS ARE ALL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. WE COULDN?T SEE IT BC THEY HAVEN?T RECALLED IT.

WHILE DRIVING A SENSOR LIGHT APPEARS AND READS OBSTRUCTION UNAVAILABLE AND STAYS FOR SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE TURNING OFF THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST 5 TO 6 TIMES A WEEK. ANOTHER PROBLEM IM HAVING IS A KNOCKING SOUND UNDER DRIVER FEET WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND THE TECHNICIAN DROVE IT HEARD THE SOUND KEPT THE CAR A WHOLE DAY BUT SAID HE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT CLEARLY THERE IS A PROBLEM IF HE AND I HEAR CAN HEAR THE NOISE. WHEN I PICKED THE CAR UP IT STILL MAKES THE SAME SOUND AND I'M AFRAID WHILE DRIVING SOMETHING MAY HAPPEN TO THE WHEELS. IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THIS IS A ROTOR PROBLEM. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR IN TWICE REGARDING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. SINCE PURCHASING THIS CAR IT HAS BEEN IN SERVICE AT LEAST 10 TIMES WITH DIFFERENT PROBLEMS 3 TIMES FOR BRAKES, ONE TIME FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO PUSH BRAKE TO START TWO TIMES FOR EXCESSIVE WIND NOISE FROM WINDOWS HAD FRONT AND BACK BRAKES REPLACED TWICE AND NOW HAVING TO TAKE IT BACK TO REPLACE WINDOW SEALS AND KNOCKING NOISE THAT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. NISSAN REALLY DID A POOR JOB BUILDING THE PARTICULAR CAR NOT EVEN TWO YEARS FROM PURCHASE WITH SEVERAL PROBLEMS VERY UNSATISFIED CUSTOMER
