Other or unspecified, Mar 20, 2021
I LEASED A 2020 NISSAN ALTIMA SL IN JANUARY. 2020. I'VE BEEN IN ISOLATION FOR 13 MONTHS BECAUSE OF A HIGH RISK OF CONTRACTING COVID19. I TURNED ON MY CAR PERIODICALLY AND SAW AN ALERT ON THE DASHBOARD.I CALLED THE MANAGER OF CONTINENTAL NISSAN WHERE I LEASED THE CAR. HE TOLD ME IT HAD TO DO WITH THE REAR SENSORS AND ADVISED ME TO WIPE THEM, WHICH I DID. HOWEVER, WHEN I BACKED UP MY CAR TODAY THE REAR SENSORS DID NOT GO OFF WHEN I GOT VERY CLOSE TO MY NEIGHBOR'S GARAGE DOOR. I HAVE A CASE #43362334. THE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY REPAIRS TO THE REAR SENSORS, WHICH IS PREPOSTEROUS. I DID NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR OVER A YEAR.MOREOVER, THERE ARE RECALLS ON 2020/2021 ALTIMAS. NISSAN IS PUTTING ME AT DANGER OF A REAR END COLLISION/DAMAGE.

SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE I'VE HAD TWO INSTANCES THAT I FEEL ARE DEFECT RELATED. THE TIRE INDICATOR LIGHTS CONTINUED TO READ LOW AIR. THE TIRE WAS LEAKING SOME TYPE OF BLACK FILM AND A HUGE KNOT APPEARED ON THE SIDE OF THE TIRE. ANOTHER INCIDENT INVOLVED THE TIRE COMPLETELY BLOWING. THE TIRE DEFECTS WERE REPORTED BACK TO THE COMPANY AND WERE INDICATED AS NO FAULT TO MANUFACTURE. SINCE I'VE COMPLAINED OF A RECALL THAT HAS BEEN IN THE MODEL VEHICLE BUT A DIFFERENT YEAR. MY VISIBILITY IS OBSTRUCTED DUE TO ALL WINDOWS RETAINING DEW AND MOISTURE CAUSING FOG TO APPEAR IN ALL WINDOWS. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING EARLY MORNING & AT DAWN DURING TEMPERATURE CHANGES. THE DEFROST DOESN'T CLEAR THE WINDOWS. DURING RAINY WEATHER THE CAR IS COMPLETELY DISABLED DUE THE OBSTRUCTION IN VISION FROM THE THICKLY FOGGED WINDOWS. I HAD IT CHECKED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD IT WAS LIKE THAT BECAUSE THE WINDOW WAS DIRTY. I DON'T FEEL LIKE SERVICE HAS THOROUGHLY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. I'M CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY CHILD AND HAVE STRESSED THIS TO THEM NUMEROUS TIMES. DURING EACH DEFECT, THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. PLEASE HELP

DURING COLD TEMPERATURES THE CAR ACCELERATES POORLY, ENGINE RPM IS UNUSUAL. AT LEAST ONE INSTANCE OF THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES WITH A "SERVICE NOW" MESSAGE DISPLAYED. IN ALL CASES THE VEHICLE ENGINE WAS RUNNING, IN (SLOW) MOTION, AND ON A CITY STREET AND ONE INCIDENT ON A HIGHWAY GOING STRAIGHT AHEAD.

AS A TRUE AND FAITHFUL CUSTOMER OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS, I'M FINALLY THROWING IN THE TOWEL IN REGARDS TO MY RECENT 2020 NISSAN ALTIMA SR. WITH ONLY 7500 PRECIOUS MILES, THIS CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER FIVE TIMES NOW, WITHIN A SIX MONTH PERIOD. CONSTANT AND REOCCURRING ISSUE'S PERTAINING TO THE VEHICLES STEERING WHEEL SHAKING, WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND TIRE BALANCING NEVER COMPTED BY NISSAN OF BAYSHORE. I'VE BEEN SUFFERING PHYSICAL AND MENTAL INSTABILITY FROM WORK RELATED DUTIES, AND THIS WAS THE LAST THING I NEEDED. A VEHICLE THATS UNRELIABLE AND POTENTIALLY POORLY MANUFACTURED. I'M GOING ON MY SECOND WINDSHIELD WITHIN THREE MONTHS NOW, AND THIS TIME THEY WON'T WARRANT ANY REPAIR. SO I'M STUCK FOOTING THE BILL, EITHER WAY I'M PAYING. WHETHER IT'S MY INSURANCE RATES GOING UP, OR HAVING TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. THAT'S INSANE NOW, COME ON! SEE IT FOR WHAT IT REALLY IS, THE VEHICLE IS UN-OPERABLE, AND UN-RELIABLE. AND DUE TO MY INJURIES, THIS DOESN'T PROVIDE RESONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR MY DISABILITIES. I'LL HAVE TO CONFER WITH MY LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE, IN REGARDS TO THIS MATTER. UNLESS YOU CAN MAKE THINGS RIGHT BY ME, AND WE CAN CONTINUE TO DO BUSINESS TOGETHER LEGITIMATELY. NOT LIKE THE CHARADES, THAT GOES ON AT NISSAN OF BAYSHORE. BY FAR THE WORST EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD WITH THE LEASE OF A NEW VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY DURING THESE DIFFICULT TIMES. I'M SURE ANY OTHER CAR MANUFACTURER WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MY BUSINESS, AND ACCEPT MY MONEY WITH NO PROBLEMS. YOU PEOPLE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES FOR PUTTING ME THROUGH THIS CONTROVERSY. YOUR OWN REPRESENTATIVES, CAN'T HANDLE THE SITUATION, JUST KEEP TAKING IT IN, AND WE'LL FIX IT! INSTEAD OF PROCRASTINATING, JUST REPLACE THE VEHICLE ALREADY, SO I CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH MY LIFE. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND COOPERATION AT THIS TIME.

MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED FOR NO REASON WITH ONLY 460 MILES ON THE CAR. UPON LOOKING THROUGH A SOCIAL MEDIA GROUP AND READING FORUMS IT WAS VERY EVIDENT THAT THIS IS A SUPER COMMON ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW IF IT CRACKED WHEN I WAS DRIVING OR OVER NIGHT BUT I NOTICED IT ABOUT A MILE INTO MY MORNING DRIVE TO WORK WITH NO OTHER CARS AROUND AND ONLY DOING 30MPH. THE WINDSHIELD IN THIS CAR IS NOT ONLY VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE BUT IT ALSO POSSES A SAFETY ISSUE AND IN MANY STATES YOU CAN BE TICKETED FOR IT BEING CRACKED. THIS FORM WON'T ALLOW ME TO UPLOAD A PICTURE, JUST A PDF BUT I DO HAVE PICTURES OF THE CRACK. I PERSONALLY KNOW 1 AND HAVE FOUND AT LEAST 20 OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE WITHOUT LOOKING HARD

DURING A SNOW STORM A COUPLE WEEKS AGO IN COLORADO MY 2020 NISSAN ALTIMA'S FORWARD COLLISION ADAS KICKED IN LOCKING UP MY BREAKS CAUSING ME TO SLIDE INTO A CURB AND NEARLY REAR END ANOTHER VEHICLE ALSO CAUSING ALIGNMENT ISSUE'S AND PROBLEMS WITH THE TRACTION SYSTEM. DUE TO LOCKING THE BRAKES THIS ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED. IT WAS ON A CITY STREET WHILE I WAS IN MOTION HOWEVER THE FORWARD COLLISION KICKED IN WAY EARLY AND SLAMMED THE BRAKES WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN COLD AND WET ROAD CONDITIONS. THERE IS A STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY ISSUE NEAR THE CARS SUSPENSION WHERE A ROD IS ROUNDED AT THE ENDS, BUT FLAT IN THE CENTER AND WHEN THE COLLISION WITH CURB HAPPENED IT BENT THAT BAR AT THE FLAT PART CAUSING THE ALIGNMENT ISSUE. THIS ACCIDENT ALSO CAUSED MY CAR TO LIFT OFF THE GROUND ABOUT 6 INCHES AND TO DRIVE STRAIGHT REQUIRED ME TO TAKE ONE WHOLE LANE OF TRAFFIC AND TURN MY STEERING WHEEL 90 DEGREES TO STAY STRAIGHT AND ON THE ROAD. THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR THIS SYSTEM TO REACT AS IS DID AS IF IT DID NOT REACT I HAD PLENTY OF TIME AND SPACE AND WOULDN'T HAVE WRECKED. THE SPEED LIMIT IN THE AREA IS 15MPH AND I WAS GOING NO MORE THAN 10MPH DUE TO THE SNOW AND FROZEN ROADS. THIS HAS GIVEN ME MIGRAINES AND I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY WRISTS, NECK, BACK AND RIBS DUE TO THE WHIPLASH CAUSED AS THE CAR ENDED UP SPEEDING UP HEADING INTO THE CRASH DUE TO THE ABRUPT HARD SLAM OF THE BRAKES CAUSED BY THE FORWARD COLLISION ON ICY ROADS. THE IMAGES ATTACHED ARE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WHEEL.
Forward collision avoidance, Nov 15, 2020
THE COLLISION LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO NISSAN NOW ABOUR 4/5 TIMES AND HAVE TO TAKE IT AGAIN AS THE PROBLEM IS NEVER RESOLVED. I WROTE TO CORPORATE AND WAS BRUSHED OFF. ITS A SAFETY ISSUE NOW BECAUSE IF IM DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT CAN ABRUPTLY STOP AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I FEAR DRIVING THIS CAR BECAUSE IT NOT ONLY JEOPARDIZES MY SAFETY, MY FAMILES BUT THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. NISSA. NEEDS TO ACCEPT LIABILITY AND JUST TAKE BACK THIS JUNK. I SHOW THE DEALERS THESE VIDEOS AND PICTURES WITH THE DIFFERENT TIMES AND MILEAGE AND PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I DUNNO WHAT OTHER OPTIONS I HAVE LEFT. THANK YOU

MY BACKUP CAMERA SEEMS TO BE DISPLAYING THE SAME ISSUES THAT ENDED UP IN THE 2019 NISSAN ALTIMA BEING RECALLED. IT WAS WORKING CORRECTLY. NOW, WHENEVER I SHIFT INTO REVERSE, IT SHOWS A BLANK SCREEN ONLY FOR THE BACKUP CAMERA. ALL MY OTHER CAMERAS ARE OPERATING FINE. THE REAR SONAR STILL WORKS, BUT THE BACKUP CAMERA WILL NOT DISPLAY ANY IMAGES. I HAVE CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CAMERA IS STILL WHERE IT SHOULD BE, AND IT IS. I'VE TRIED SHUTTING DOWN MY VEHICLE, EXITING AND LOCKING PROPERLY AND THEN RE-ENTERING AND STARTING UP THE VEHICLE BEFORE TESTING THE BACKUP CAMERA. STILL NO IMAGE.

CONTINENTAL PRO CONTACT TIRE: NON-ROAD HAZARD TIRE SIDEWALL FAILURE ON BARELY WORN TIRE, POTENTIALLY LEADING TO LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND/OR VEHICLE ROLLOVER. TIRE CONCERN WAS INITIALLY INDICATED WITH A MILD (~26 PSI) LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING. AFTER STOPPING TO INSPECT, NO DEBRIS OR OTHER INDICATION OF PUNCTURE WAS NOTED, SO PRESSURE WAS ADDED TO RETURN TO FACTORY SETTINGS. HOWEVER, HOURS LATER AND AT HIGHWAY SPEED, LOW TIRE PRESSURE INDICATION RETURNED (TO A SIMILAR LOW VALUE IN THE MID-20'S, FOLLOWED WITHIN MINUTES BY SUDDEN PRESSURE DROP AND TIRE DISINTEGRATION. VEHICLE CONTROL WAS COMPROMISED DUE TO SUDDEN TIRE FAILURE. UPON TIRE REMOVAL AT SIDE OF FREEWAY, I NOTED THAT THE INTERIOR TIRE SIDEWALL WAS MISSING SUBSTANTIAL CHUNKS OF RUBBER, A CLASSIC "BLOW OUT." THE NEXT DAY A VERY CAREFUL INSPECTION BY LOCAL DISCOUNT TIRE STORE REVEALED ABSOLUTELY ZERO INDICATION OF PRE-FAILURE PRESSURE LOSS: NO NAIL OR OTHER DEBRIS PUNCTURES IN ANY PART OF THE REMAINING TIRE, AND ZERO/NO INDICATION OF PRIOR LOW-PRESSURE OPERATION (WHICH COULD LEAD TO TIRE OVERHEATING AND SUBSEQUENT FAILURE). STRONGLY SUSPECT EITHER A MAJOR CONSTRUCTION OR MATERIAL DEFECT WAS LIKELY CAUSE OF THIS HAZARDOUS AND NEARLY SPONTANEOUS TIRE FAILURE, ON A TIRE MOUNTED ON A NEW CAR UNDER A YEAR OLD, AND WITH MINIMAL TIRE WEAR. UPON SUBMISSION OF THIS COMPLAINT I WILL CONTACT DISCOUNT TIRE AND REQUEST TIRE BE RETAINED FOR SUBMISSION/INSPECTION, IF DESIRED; PLEASE ADVISE PROMPTLY IF YOU'D LIKE TO INSPECT THE TIRE.

I WAS IN A NISSAN ALTIMA WITH THREE PASSENGERS, TWO IN THE BACK SEATS AND ONE IN THE FRONT SEAT. WHEN IN THE PROCESS OF TURNING LEFT SOMEONE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE. BOTH THE FRONT SEATS BROKE AT THE HINGE PUSHING THE SEATS BACK INTO THE BACKSEAT PASSENGERS. THIS RESULTED IN MINOR INJURIES TO THEM; SCRAPS ON LEG AND HEAD, BLOODY NOSE AND BRUISED TEETH. IF THE SEATS HAD NOT FAILED, THESE MINOR INJURIES WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURED. IT IS ALSO UNCLEAR HOW NECK ISSUES ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS WERE EXACERBATED. MY VEHICLE WAS MOVING SLOW AND WAS NOT YET AT A FULL STOP. IT WAS ON A RURAL TWO LANE ROAD. THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 50 MPH.*DT

POPPING NOISE HEARD FROM LUMBAR AREA OF PASSENGER SEAT BACK. DEALERSHIP SAID THE SOUND IS INSIDE THE SEATBACK AND IS FROM THE SHIFTING OF THE SPRINGS. THEY SAID THEY TESTED THREE OTHER 2020 NISSAN ALTIMA SEATS AND THEY ALL HAD THE SOUND WHEN PRESSED AGAINST OR WHILE SITTING IN AND MOVING FORWARD AND BACK AGAINST THE LUMBAR PART OF THE SEAT. THEY SAID IT'S NORMAL. IT'S AN ANNOYANCE. NO REASON WHY A 2020 BRAND NEW CAR SHOULD HAVE A POPPING SOUND FROM SPRINGS EVERYTIME SOMEONE SITS IN IT, MOVES THERE BACK AGAINST THE SEAT OR SIMPLY TOUCHES THE BACK REST WITH THEIR HAND.

I KNOW THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE SPECIALLY FOR ANDROID PHONE USERS. I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE HEADUNIT WHEN PLAYING A SOUND THROUGH ANDROID AUTO. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING FOR SOLUTIONS BUT NOTHING FOR THE ALTIMA. SOFTWARE UPDATE TO 0910 FIXED THE NISSAN SENTRA MUSIC STUTTERING ISSUE BUT NISSAN HAVEN'T DONE IT TO THE ALTIMAS. I HAVE BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY ALWAYS SAY THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT ARE LOOKING ONTO IT. MY CAR IS A 2020 ALTIMA AND THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON EVER SINCE (2019) THIS NEWER MODEL (L34) HAD CAME OUT AND STILL NO FIX. AND THE DEALERSHIP BARELY KNEW THIS ISSUE.. MAYBE BECAUSE THERE IS MORE APPLE USERS THAN ANDROID USERS. WHO KNOWS.
