MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA BEGAN STALLING WHEN I ENGAGED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. IT STALLED AND EVENTUALLY SOUNDED AS IF IT WERE STRUGGLING TO SHIFT GEARS BEGAN MOVING FORWARD. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, I WAS FORCED TO ABRUPTLY ENGAGE THE BRAKE PEDAL TO AVOID CRASHING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE; HOWEVER, WHEN I APPLIED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE VEHICLE STRAINED TO MOVE FORWARD AND ACCELERATE BUT WITHIN A FEW MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE NORMAL SPEED. THE VEHICLE DOES HESITATE EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT.

MY WIFE'S 2015 ALTIMA 2.5 SL HAS A TREMENDOUS WATER LEAK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FILLING THE CABIN WITH INCHES OF WATER. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT FOR THE 5YRS, BUT WITH THE PURCHASE OF MY NEW CAR WE KNOW KEEP THE ALTIMA IN THE DRIVEWAY. AFTER A RECENT RAIN I NOTICED A VERY STRONG MUSTY, MOLDY ODOR AND THE SOUND OF WATER AS I BACKED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, AS I REACHED LEVEL GROUND MY FEET WHERE SOAKED WITH WATER. I HAVE HAD THE DRAIN TUBES CLEANED AND CLEARED AS THIS WAS MENTION TO ME AT THE DEALERSHIP AS A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS DID NOT FIX THE WATER LEAK AND NISSAN REQUIRES $475 TO CHECK THE PROBLEM FURTHER. I DID A SEARCH ONLINE AND NOTICED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN VEHICLES, AS THIS WATER LEAK SEEM TO COME FROM FAULTY STRUCTURAL WELDING IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AS A WHOLE, WE NOW EXPERIENCE SLIGHT ELECTRICAL GLITCHES WITH OUR ALTIMA WHICH AGAIN I FEEL IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
INITIALLY I THOUGHT MY EYESE WERE GOING BAD, BUT AFTER RESEARCHING, THERE IS RECURRING INCIDENCE OF OF CONSUMERS REPORTING DIM HEADLIGHTS. ITS TO THE POINT THAT I TRY NOT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, AND IF I DO, I HAVE TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS WHICH POSES A HAZARD TO OTHER DRIVERS. NISSSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER IS CHARGING OVER $1000 TO REPLACE THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY BECAUSE SIMPLY REPLACING THE BULB IS NOT THE SOLUTION.

STRUCTURE:BODY
ON 8/8/2020 I WAS GOING TO MY NIECE'S BIRTHDAY PARTY. WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON THE BELTWAY, MY HOOD POPPED UP 5 TIMES. I HAD TO CONTINUOUSLY PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER OF THE BELTWAY (WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS) TO KEEP RE-CLOSING THE HOOD. I WAS VERY SCARED AND CONCERNED THE HOOD WOULD FLY UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING WHICH WOULD CAUSE ME NOT TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD AT ALL. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING ON AND OFF FOR AT LEAST 2 WEEKS. ON 8/10/2020 I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND TO MY SURPRISE NISSAN DOESN'T HAVE A FIX TO THIS PROBLEM. I NOW HAVE TO BE WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR HOW EVER LONG UNTIL NISSAN CAN COME UP WITH A TEMPORARY FIX AND WAS NOT OFFERED A LOANER VEHICLE. I AM HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN AND I HAVE BEEN A CUSTOMER FOR YEARS.

SUSPENSION
MY SON WAS DRIVING MY WIFE'S 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA DOWN THE DRIVEWAY(APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH) WHEN THE REAR LEFT SUSPENSION BROKE. HE CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT SLOWLY FOR ANOTHER MILE ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD HAVING, DIFFICULTY STEERING, AND HOPING TO MAKE IT TO THE NEARBY MECHANIC. HE STOPPED AFTER A MILE AND CALLED ME. I WAS ABLE TO SEE THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SUSPENSION ARM WAS BROKE AND THE TIRE WAS ANGLED.(THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS SEVERLY CORRODED ALSO) THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE MECHANIC AND HE FILED WARRANTEE INFORMATION. THE WARRANTEE WAS DENIED BECAUSE IT WAS A CORROSION ISSUE. I AM GRATEFUL THIS DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY!!! IF IT IS HARD TO STEER A VEHICLE AT 20 MPH, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AT 75 MPH. HOW IS THIS NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM? A MAIN SUSPENSION ARM RUSTING OUT IN LESS THAN 5 YEARS, AND KNOWN COMMON PROBLEM IN NORTHERN CLIMATES??
