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.

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.

EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR NO MATTER WHAT THE WEATHER CONDITION IS THIS LIGHT COMES ON NONSTOP
Service brakes, Jun 14, 2019
I BOUGHT MY 2018 NISSAN ALTIMA SR MIDNIGHT EDITION AROUND OCTOBER 2018. WHEN I REACHED ABOUT 8,500 MILES THE CARS FRONT RADAR SENSOR WENT OFF, AND MY ALTIMA WOULD SAY FRONT RADAR UNAVAILABLE DUE TO OBSTRUCTION, AND THIS WOULD GO ON AND OFF THE WHOLE WEEK. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO COME AND WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT. THAT WEEK I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT'S COVER BY WARRANTY AND THAT THE FRONT RADAR SENSOR NEEDS TO BE RECALIBRATED. WAITED THE WHOLE DAY FOR THEM TO FIX IT. WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP 10 MILES OUT THE FRONT RADAR WENT OFF AGAIN, AND I WAS FUMING THAT MY NEW CAR IS DOING THIS. I CALLED BACK AND TOLD THE THAT THE SENSOR IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL ORDER AND NEW SENSOR FOR YOU AND WILL FIX IT WHEN THE PART ARRIVES. TWO WEEKS LATER THE DEALERSHIP NEVER CALLED OR EMILED ME. I CALL THEM UP AND THEY SAID THAT THE PART IS HERE AND TO BRING THE CAR IN ANYTIME. SO I GO IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHANGED THE PART. DAY 1 WAS GOOD NO ISSUES. DAY 2 WAS GOOD NO ISSUES. DAY 3 THE CARS ABS SYSTEM KICKS IN AND BRINGS MY CAR TO A FULL STOP FOR NO REASON WHAT SO EVER. THERE WAS NO CAR IN FRONT OF ME, NO PEDESTRIANS NOTHING. THE WEATHER WAS A CLEAR SUNNY DAY AND I DRIVING IN MANHATTAN WITH A CLIENT IN MY CAR GOING 25 MPH. THE WHOLE CAR WAS SHAKING I HEARD THE TIRE SKID AND THE WHOLE CAR WAS SHAKING, I GOT SOO SCARED. THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME AND THE GUY COMES OUT HIS CAR ARGUING WITH ME ON WHY I STOPED SUDDENLY FOR NO REASON. I TOLD HIM IT WASN'T ME THE CAR STOPED ON IT'S OWN, BUT HE DIDN'T BELIEVE ME AND GAVE ME A COUPLE CUSS WORDS. I WAS IN RAGE, AND SCARED AT THE SAME TIME. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND TOLD THEM THE ISSUES, THEY TOLD ME COME IN AND WE'LL LOOK AT IT FOR YOU. IM SO ANGRY BECAUSE I COULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT FORM THE SAME THING THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT.

THE AEB (AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING) SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS CONTINUOUSLY. I GET A WARNING (FRONT SENORS UNAVAILABLE DUE TO OBSTRUCTION) BUT THERE IS NO OBSTRUCTION. THIS SHUTS OFF THE SAFETY SYSTEM THAT WAS DESIGNED TO SENSE AND STOP THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY. MANY, MANY OTHER NISSAN OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND NISSAN IS FAILING TO DO A RECALL AND FIX IT. JUST AS THE SYSTEM ALERTED ME WHILE DRIVING YESTERDAY, IT THEN QUICKLY SHUT OFF SAYING THERE WAS AN OBSTRUCTION. IT WAS NOT ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS AND NOTHING WAS COVERING THE FRONT OF THE CAR. I STOPPED IN TIME. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT THIS WEEK WITH THE NISSAN DEALER, BUT WITH THIS BEING A MARKETED AS A SAFETY FEATURE, AND INCLUDED AS PART OF THE SAFETY RATINGS SYSTEMS BY THE GOVERNMENT, IT SHOULD BE A RECALL BY NISSAN. I PURCHASED THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY SYSTEM AND RATINGS.

RADAR OBSTRUCTION WARNING KEEPS POPPING UP ON SCREEN.AFRAID THAT THIS WOULD MAKE THE CAR STOP AND GET REAR ENDED.THIS IS HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING..
Electrical system, Service brakes, May 20, 2019
DURING RANDOM DRIVING THE FORWARD COLLISION SENSOR COMES ON STATING THAT FORWARD COLLISION IS UNAVAILABLE. SOMETIMES THE SENSOR WILL GO OFF 1-2 TIMES OR UP TO 6 TIMES IN ONE DAY. THIS SENSOR CONTROLS THE (AEB) AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING. NISSAN HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS ISSUE IN SEVERAL CARS BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. THIS VEHICLE IS MY WORK VEHICLE AND MY PERSONAL NISSAN PATHFINDER HAS ALREADY HAD THE PART REPLACED WITH LESS THAN 10,000 MILES. CURRENTLY MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WANT $1700.00 FOR REPAIR OF FAULTY SAFETY PARTS. I'VE BEEN DRIVING IN PERFECTLY SUNNY DAYS, ON BUMPY BACK ALLEY, JUST DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAYS AND THE SENSOR GOES OFF. I BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE IS MORE WIDESPREAD THAN THEY ACKNOWLEDGE. OUR FLEET OF COMPANY CARS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE ROGUE, ALTIMA.

THE FRONT END OBSTRUCTION LIGHT AND WARNING SOUND COME ON EVERYTIME I DRIVE MY VEHICLE, THEN GO OFF AND COME BACK ON. I CAN BE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND WITH NOTHING AROUND ME. SOMETIMES IT CAUSES MY CAR TO SLOW DOWN.
Power train, May 9, 2019
DRIVING ALONG INTERSTATE SLOWED DOWN FOR TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE, VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO EVEN IF THE ACCELERATOR WAS ON THE FLOOR COULD NOT GET ABOVE 40MPH AND RPM WERE BETWEEN 4&5 WAS ALMOST REARENDED BY OTHER TRAFFIC. HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY. ALSO WHEN DRIVING THROUGH SLOW TRAFFIC FEELS AS IF TRANSMISSION IS JERKING AND POWER IS LOST.

WHICH WASNT TRUE AS I WAS STILL TRAVELING THEN THE CAR KEPT AUTOMATICALLY APPLYING BREAKS. THIS COULD OF CAUSED A SEVERE CRASH HAD THE ROADS BEEN ICY AS IT COULD OF PUT ME IN A SPIN CAUSING A SERIOUS CRASH.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PROCEED AFTER A STOP SIGN WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON DASH INCLUDING THE BATTERY LIGHT. I PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS. WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS THE CAR MADE NO ACCELERATION NOISE AND DID NOT MOVE. THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE. I MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO MOVE FORWARD, BUT THE LIGHTS REMAINED AND THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. I HAD A FULL TANK IF GAS AND A RECENT OIL CHANGE. I THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND USED MY PUSH BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE CAR. I WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND RESTARTED THE CAR. IT DID START AND I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY. I WAS ON A SIDE STREET AND HAD BEEN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES.

A LAG WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR AND FEEL A SLIGHT CLUNK BEFORE I START TO MOVE. TURNING OFF OVERDRIVE SEEMS TO GIVE A MORE SOLID START WITH NOT SO MUCH HESITATION. ALWAYS FEEL LIKE I NEED TO GENTLY ACCELERATE FROM STOP OR SOMETHING MIGHT BREAK

Vehicle speed control, Service brakes, Jan 21, 2019
THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN CONTINUOUSLY HAPPENING SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH ABOUT 2500 MILES ON IT, IT CURRENTLY HAS ABOUT 6500 MILES ON IT. THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM CONTINUES TO TURN ON AND OFF AT VARIOUS TIMES BUT HAS CONTINUED TO GET WORSE OVER THE FEW MONTHS THAT I HAVE OWNED IT. THE WORST SITUATION I HAVE HAD WAS RECENTLY ON A 300 MILE ROUND TRIP WHEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKING WOULD ACTIVATE AND DEACTIVATE EVERY FEW MINUTES, IN WHICH IT WOULD FLASH ON THE DASH SAYING THE SYSTEM WAS OBSTRUCTED, AND THE WARNING LIGHT SHOWING IT DEACTIVATED WOULD TURN ON, THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD SHUT OFF AND A KEEPING SOUND WOULD TURN ON. THIS WAS HAPPENING WITH NO APPARENT PARTICULAR INCIDENT. THE TRIP TOOK SOME BACK ROADS, A LOT OF HIGHWAY (2 LANE AND 4 LANE) AND A MODERATE IN CITY DRIVING. THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR, THE SUN WAS OUT WITH PARTIAL CLOUDING, IT WAS AROUND 40 DEGREES OUTSIDE, THE ROADS WERE DRY, SOME WERE ROUGH SOME SMOOTH, OTHER THAN IN THE CITY THERE WAS LITTLE STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THE WORST INCIDENT WAS DURING THE RETURN TRIP, WE WERE ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY THAT WAS PRETTY SMOOTH. THERE WAS NO ONE IN FRONT OF US WE WERE DOING APPROXIMATELY 70MPH WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND US, WE HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND WERE JUST GOING ALONG A STRAIGHT FLAT STRETCH OF ROAD WHEN THE SYSTEM ONCE AGAIN DEACTIVATED, BEEPED THEN REACTIVATED AND BEEPED AND THEN SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES ON US. IT WAS ONLY AN INSTANT AND CREATED NO SITUATION OF DANGER BASED ON OUR POSITION, AND AS IT WAS INSTANT I WAS ABLE TO STEP ON THE GAS AGAIN AND WE ONLY DROPPED FROM 70 TO ABOUT 50MPH IN THE PERIOD. THIS WAS THE WORST SITUATION I HAVE RUN INTO WITH THE ISSUE SO I LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND IT IS STATED AS AN ISSUE ON THE SENTRA. THIS UNEXPECTED DECELERATION ON A FREEWAY COULD HAVE BEEN A DEVASTATING ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT PURCHASED A LEMON (2017 NISSAN VEHICLE) AND SWAPPED IT OUT FOR A 2018 ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE 2018 ALTIMA MADE CLICKING AND POPPING NOISES WHEN TURNED, WHICH POSSIBLY WERE CAUSED BY THE LINKAGE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SEVERAL UNKNOWN NISSAN DEALERS, BUT THEY CLAIMED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING TO REPAIR. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE ORIGINAL DEALER (DON DAVIS NISSAN, 1320 I-20 FRONTAGE ROAD, ARLINGTON, TX 76018, (877) 415-3218) WAS CONDUCTING UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES WITH HER VEHICLE TRANSACTIONS. THE CONTACT HAD BEEN IN TOUCH WITH SEVERAL AGENCIES, INCLUDING THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, TO PLEAD HER CASE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,400.

WHILE DRIVING DURING RAIN CONDITIONS, THE FORWARD RADAR REPEATEDLY DISABLES ITSELF WITH AN "OBSTRUCTION" WARNING, WHICH ALSO DISABLES THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING FUNCTION. THIS ISSUE DOES NOT PRESENT DURING DRY WEATHER CONDITIONS, AND DOES NOT HAPPEN WHILE TRANSITING THROUGH A CAR WASH. THIS PROBLEM WAS FIRST NOTED IN OCTOBER 2018 WHEN DRIVING IN RAINY WEATHER FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS NEW, WITH 00004 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, AT THE TIME OF FIRST POSSESSION IN MAY 2018.

PURCHASED NISSAN ALTIMA S 2018 , THE AEB "AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BREAKING " DOES NOT FUNCTION AT ANY TIME, THE COMPUTER WILL NOT ESTABLISH A CODE FOR IT NOT WORKING EITHER. IT'S EITHER A FAULTY COMPUTER NOT ESTABLISHING A CODE OR THE THE AEB IS FAULTY.

I HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS AND THEY HAVE REFERRED ME TO NISSAN AND SAY THAT I SHOULD WAIT FOR THE RECALL.

AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE SENSOR ALARMS AND SAYS IT IS NOT WORKING WHEN THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. I HAD ONE DEALER TELL ME IT WAS PICKING UP THE SUN......PLEASE HELP.

BROUGHT VEHICLE TO PETERS NISSAN IN NASHUA N.H. ON OCTOBER 10TH WITH 7,000 MILES ON IT DUE TO HEARING A POPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT TO HEAR THE SOUND IT WOULD BE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AND ACCELERATING, GO OVER BUMPS PUTTING ANY KIND OF FLEX ON THAT RIGHT FRONT. TECH FOUND OUT AFTER CALLING TECH LINE THAT I HAVE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT FRONT STRUT TOWER AND HOOD HOLDER WHICH CAME FROM FACTORY LIKE THIS. STATED THAT THE BODY MOUNTS WHERE LETTING GO AND THE WELDS HAVE SEPARATED AND EXPLAINED THAT IF ONE MACHINE WAS NOT OR OUT OF CALIBRATION AT THE MANUFACTURE THAT THIS COULD BE THE PROBLEM BUT ALSO THAT IT COULD BE OTHER ISSUES UNDERLINE THAT WE DON'T SEE. FIX IS TO BRING TO BODY SHOP TO HAVE STRUCTURAL PIECES REPLACED. I WAS THEN ALSO TOLD THAT I COULD HAVE CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS BECAUSE IT'S STRUCTURAL. I DID NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. I AM WORRIED THAT THERE WILL BE OTHER WELDS THAT WILL GIVE.
