NO CARS NO WHERE NEAR FRONT OF VEHICLE OR ON ROAD WAY IN FRONT OF VEHICLE, ROAD WAY EMPTY WITH NO VEHICLES INSIGHT. HAVE TO STEP ON ACCELERATOR TO BRING VEHICLE BACK UP TO SPEED. TOOK CAR IN TO NISSAN, MECHANIC SAID HIS ALTIMA DOES SAME THING AND THAT THIS WAS NORMAL OPERATION OF CRUISE CONTROL. THIS CAUSES OTHER DRIVERS BEHIND MY VEHICLE TO BECOME ENRAGED AS I'M HOLDING UP TRAFFIC USUALLY PASS ME SOMETIMES CUTTING ME OFF FOR HOLDING UP TRAFFIC. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ALL THE TIME WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL SINCE 03/30/2016 TO PRESENT.

SEATS
I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT ABOUT A TO 1 INCH EXTRA BUMP/PROJECTION OF A VULNERABLE PLASTIC UNDER THE DRIVE SEAT CAUSED BRUISES TO THE CALF PART OF MY LEG. ATTACHED ARE THE PICTURES OF THE PART I EXPLAINED AND SLIGHT BRUISE TO MY LEG. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I GET INTO THIS BRUISE ON MY CALF, BUT SEVERAL TIMES. HOWEVER I AM CAREFUL, IT IS HURTING ME. I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU FOR A POSSIBLE ACTION WITH NISSAN AND A REMEDY THAT WOULD HELP TO FIX THIS IN CURRENT VEHICLE AS WELL AS IN FUTURE VEHICLES.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE REAR VIEW CAMERA IS VERY BLURRY AND OUT OF FOCUS AT NIGHT ON THE 7 INCH DISPLAY. IT'S NOT TOTALLY CLEAR DURING DAY TIME EITHER. IT APPEARS TO BE THE SAME BAD QUALITY ON ALL ALTIMA'S I TRIED IT ON. ADJUSTING BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST, AND COLOR DOES NOT HELP. THE CAMERA SHOULD FUNCTION WELL FOR SAFETY. I HAVE OTHER VEHICLES WITH REVERSE CAMERAS AND THEY WORK MUCH BETTER DAY AND NIGHT.

AIR BAGS
AIRBAG SENSOR IS ACCORDING TO THE NISSAN DEALER ONLY ACTIVATING THE AIRBAG IF THE PASSENGER IS OVER 120LBS. MY WIFE IS UNDER THIS WEIGHT AND THE AIRBAG OFF LIGHT IS ON EVERY TIME WE DRIVE SOMEWHERE. NISSAN HAS TRIED TO PLAY IT OFF SAYING IT'S ACTUALLY SAFER FOR AN ADULT UNDER 120LBS TO HAVE THE AIRBAG OFF. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND I DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM IN MY VW OR MY MAZDA.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA THAT I HAVE OWNED ABOUT 6 MONTHS. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD VERY WELL WHEN IT IS RAINING. IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE WHEN IT IS RAINING AND IT IS SCARY. I HAVE OWNED 2 OTHER NISSAN'S, A 2007 ALTIMA AND A 2011 ALTIMA AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE. IT SEEMS LIKE THE WIPER BLADE IS NOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE WINDSHIELD TO CLEAR IT PROPERLY. I MENTIONED IT AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICEMAN SAID THEY HAVE HAD OTHER COMPLAINTS BUT NO RECALL. I ASKED IF HE THOUGHT IT WOULD HELP TO REPLACE THEM AND HE SAID THERE WAS NO GUARANTEE. WE WERE IN PANAMA CITY, FL LAST WEEKEND AND HAD OUR SON-IN-LAW AND GRANDCHILD WITH US AND IT STARTED POURING RAIN. WE COULD BARELY SEE, THEY WERE TRYING TO LOOK OUT THE SIDE WINDOWS TO SEE HOW TO STAY ON THE ROAD. IF THE WIPERS WOULD CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD PROPERLY THIS WOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. WE WERE ALL SCARED TO DEATH. WE WERE BARELY MOVING AND WAS RIGHT AT OUR CONDO. IT WOULD BE NICE IF A RECALL COULD TAKE PLACE TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THIS ISSUE. THE WIPERS WON'T EVEN CLEAR A BUG OFF THE WINDSHIELD IF YOU WET IT WITH WIPER FLUID AND TRY TO RINSE IT OFF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. *TR

MY 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA SR STALLS/LOSES POWER WHILE ACCELERATING, LIKE INTO TRAFFIC, OR WHILE SLOWING DOWN AND THE ACCELERATING AGAIN. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY CAN'T DETERMINE WHAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE AND CAN'T DUPLICATE IT ON DEMAND. THIS HAS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED IT ON FEB 29, 2016 THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A NEW PART PERTAINING TO THE BRAKES WHICH CAUSE IT TO NOT ACCELERATE WHILE THE BRAKE IS APPLIED BUT THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED SINCE THAT WAS INSTALLED. THE ISSUE HAS ALWAYS SEEMED TO HAPPEN AFTER THE CAR HAS SET FOR AN EXTENDED TIME (WHILE I'M AT WORK, ETC) USUALLY AFTER IT HAPPENS IT WILL DRIVE AND FUNCTION AS NORMAL FOR SOME TIME. (PROBLEM WITH DUPLICATING IT BY THE DEALERSHIP) THE DEALERSHIP HAS MY CAR AT THE PRESENT TIME BUT PLANS TO RETURN IT TO ME WITHOUT SOLVING THE PROBLEM. MY FEAR IS THAT THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IN THE FUTURE IF ITS NOT SOLVED.

STRUCTURE:BODY
IT IS IN THE TRUNK. THE OFF-WHITE SEALANT USE EVERYWHERE IN THE TRUNK VISIBLE. IT IS UNDERNEATH THE TRUNK CARPET, UNDERNEATH THE RUBBER MAT. I FOUND THE SEALANT GOT MELTED CAUSING RUBBER TO BE MELTED. I BELIEVE WHEN TEMPERATURE IN TEXAS REACHED 110 DEGREE THAT'S WHEN IT HAPPENED. LUCKILY I SPOTTED BEFORE IT COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. DEALER SAYS BODY SHOP WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT THE CAUSE AND GOD KNOWS IF THEY MAY HAVE TO CUT THE WHOLE TRUNK FROM INSIDE TO FIX IT. CAR IS STILL IN SERVICE FOR MORE THAN 7 DAYS.
