MY HUSBAND, 9 YEAR OLD, AND I HAD JUST LEFT KROGER LEAVING GATLINBURG, TN AFTER A WEEKS VACATION. WE PULLED ONTO A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY. AS THE CAR GOT TO 25-30 MPH THE HOOD JUST FLEW OPEN AND HIT THE WINDSHIELD. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS HURT, BUT MY HUSBAND HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR ON THE BUSY HIGHWAY (WE WERE IN THE FAST LANE) AND CLOSE THE HOOD. BOTH SIDE PANELS WERE COMPLETELY DAMAGED (BENT, SCRATCHED, AND CRUMBLED) AND MY HOOD IS ALSO DENTED. WE MADE OUR WAY TO A GAS STATION TO FURTHER INSPECT THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE LEVER IS PULLED THE HOOD UNLOCKS. HOWEVER, THE SAFETY DOESN'T CATCH. YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUSH THE HATCH. I AM NOW TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY NEW CAR I JUST BOUGHT 6 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE BEEN READING STORIES ABOUT NISSAN HAVING THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT! HOODS COVERING A WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING IS FAR MORE DANGEROUS THAN AN AIRBAG DEFECT. *TR

I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. I SCHEDULED THE PRESCRIBED FIX WITH THE DEALER, KLINE AUTOWORLD, MAPLEWOOD, MN, AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY FIXED THE RECALL PROBLEM, 07/03/2014. THEN, ON OR ABOUT 07/16/2014 THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING OFF LIGHT CAME ON WITH MY SPOUSE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER TWICE REGARDING THIS WARNING LIGHT. SO FAR THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT GOTTEN BACK TO ME. *JS THE CONSUMER STATED ON SEVEN OCCASIONS SINCE THE RECALL FIX, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHEN AN ADULT PASSENGER WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT. UPDATED 06/10/15. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE HAD MAJOR ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE THE THIRD DAY AFTER PURCHASE. THE BRAKES HAVE MALFUNCTIONED. THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY COME ON AND I HAD IT IN SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THE DEALERSHIP COULD NEVER "DUPLICATE" ANYTHING. THEN THE CAR STARTED TO MISFIRE AND EMIT A THICK BLACK SMOKE FROM EXHAUST. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND AT FIRST THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL BECAUSE THE CAR HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION. THEN THEY SAID BRING IT IN FOR ASSESSMENT. A SERVICE TECHNICIAN TEST DROVE WITH ME AND EXPERIENCED THIS FIRST HAND. I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT SERVICE IT THAT DAY, BUT TO BRING IT BACK IN. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK A WEEK LATER, THEY "COULD NOT DUPLICATE" THE PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN MUCH BACK AND FORTH. I ASKED THEM TO BUY THE CAR BACK BECAUSE THE PROBLEMS WERE LIFE THREATENING. THE CAR ACTUALLY SHUT OFF ON ME, TWICE, IN TRAFFIC. WHEN I LAST CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, ON JULY 24TH, 2014, ABOUT THE MAJOR ISSUES I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING; THE EARLIEST THEY SAID THEY COULD SEE ME WOULD BE ON AUGUST 11TH, 2014. ON YESTERDAY, IT FINALLY SHUT OFF FOR GOOD, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE. AS I WAS ON A TRIP, I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED 125 MILES TO MY HOMETOWN DEALERSHIP AT THE COST OF $230.00, OUT OF POCKET. THE ONLY REASON I GOT IT HOME THAT CHEAPLY WAS BECAUSE I HAVE FOUR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE COVERAGE PACKAGES AND LUCKILY ONE OF THEM COVERED TOWING UP TO 100 MILES. THE CAR IS NOW SITTING ON THE DEALERSHIP'S PARKING LOT. *JS

STRUCTURE, VISIBILITY
OUR CAR HAS DARK INTERIOR WITH A BLACK DASHBOARD. ON HIGH TEMPERATURE DAYS, THE SURFACE OF THE DASHBOARD BECOMES TACKY AND VERY SHINY. WHEN IT IS IN THIS CONDITION, IT AFFECTS MY VISIBILITY. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS OF THE POSITION OF THE SUN, THE SUNLIGHT REFLECTS OFF THE SURFACE OF THE DASHBOARD AND INTO MY EYES. AT TIMES, THE SUNLIGHT REFLECTS OFF THE SURFACE OF THE DASHBOARD AND ONTO THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND RESULTS IN A BRIGHT REFLECTION OF THE DASHBOARD WHICH GREATLY REDUCES VISIBILITY. FROM SEARCHES ON INTERNET, I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. IT APPEARS THAT THERE WAS A DEFECTIVE FORMULATION OF PLASTIC USED FOR DASHBOARDS ON SOME CARS PRODUCED WHICH IS CAUSING AN EXUDATION OF CHEMICALS IN HIGH TEMPERATURES. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. IF THIS DEFECT HAS NOT ALREADY CONTRIBUTED TO AN ACCIDENT, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT DOES. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT HOOD INDEPENDENTLY BECAME UNLATCHED. THE CONTACT CLOSED THE HOOD AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE. AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE REACHED 70 MPH, THE HOOD ABRUPTLY OPENED AND FLEW INTO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT HAD TO STICK HIS HEAD OUT THE DRIVER'S WINDOW IN ORDER TO SEE THE ROADWAY AND SAFELY MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO UNLATCH THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO ADVISED THAT THE SAFETY LATCH WAS DEFECTIVE AND STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE HOOD, SIDE PANELS AND THE ROOF NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,200.

POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT A NEW 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 S IN AUGUST 2013 AND THE NEXT MONTH I NOTICED A SHUDDER IN THE CVT TRANSMISSION AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. SINCE THEN IT HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES BUT AT ALL SPEEDS, IE 20 MPH, 35 MPH, 45 MPH, IT WILL HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED. I'VE MENTIONED IT TO NISSAN AND THEY SAY ITS NORMAL. EVEN THE WIFE STATES THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

AIR BAGS
AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR A FEW MONTHS, I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD GO ON WITH A PASSENGER SITTING IN THE SEAT. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT WHEN IT DID, THE LIGHT COULD STAY ON FOR AN ENTIRE TRIP. IN THIS NISSAN CAR, WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, THAT MEANS THE AIR BAG IS OFF. I TOOK MY CONCERN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED MANY OF THE PARTS UNDER THE SEAT IN AN ATTEMPT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. BY OCTOBER OF 2013, NISSAN SENT A SPECIAL TECHNICIAN TO FIVE TOWNS NISSAN IN INWOOD,NY TO ADDRESS MY PROBLEM. HE REPLACED THE RAILING UNDER THE SEAT BUT TOLD ME THE SYSTEM WAS WORKING CORRECTLY AND THEY WERE JUST MAKING ME HAPPY. HOWEVER, IN MAY OF 2014, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY VERY PROBLEM. IT TURNS OUT MANY OTHERS MUST HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THE RECALL WAS A SOFTWARE RE-PROGRAM OF THE OCCUPANCY SENSOR. BUT, THIS RECALL DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS MANY TIMES AND THEY TREAT THIS LIKE AN INDIVIDUAL PROBLEM. THEY ACTUALLY ASK ME WHAT I WOULD LIKE THEM TO DO. I TELL THEM I WANT THE AIR BAG TO INFLATE DURING AN ACCIDENT SO MY PASSENGER DOESN'T DIE. I'M FED UP WITH THEIR RESPONSE. THE COMPANY THAT MAKES THE SYSTEM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. LIKE WITH ALL CAR COMPANIES, THEY CONCEAL THE TRUTH AND WAIT UNTIL PEOPLE DIE BEFORE THEY SOLVE A PROBLEM. I HAVE NOW TAKEN MY CAR TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, NINE TIMES IN THE PAST FIFTEEN MONTHS AND THERE IS STILL NO SOLUTION. *TR

ALTHOUGH MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA HAD THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP AFTER A VOLUNTARY RECALL, THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT DETECT SOMEONE SITTING IN THE SEAT MOST OF THE TIME SO THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON NOTIFYING THE DRIVER THAT THE AIR BAG IS OFF. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER, STRUCTURE
THE TOP OF THE PLASTIC DASHBOARD HAS A VERY SHINY STICKY OIL LIKE SUBSTANCE AT MIGRATES TO AND COATS THE SURFACE CAUSING AN EXTREME GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD IMPAIRING VISIBILITY. IN ADDITION, THIS SUBSTANCE OUTGASSES AND CONDENSES ON THE INSIDE SURFACE OF THE WINDSHIELD AS A MILKY HAZE WHICH FURTHER INCREASES THE IMPAIRED VISIBILITY. THIS CONDITION ALSO AFFECTS THE REAR DECK PLASTIC AS WELL. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT A DEFECTIVE BATCH OF PLASTICIZER, OR AN IMPROPER RATIO WAS USED DURING THE FABRICATION OF THE AFFECTED PARTS CAUSING EXCESSIVE MIGRATION OF THE PLASTICIZER TO THE SURFACE. THE MANUFACTURE IS AWARE OF AND ACKNOWLEDGES THIS PROBLEM HOWEVER, NO FIX OR SOLUTION IS FORTHCOMING. THIS CONDITION IS MOST PREVALENT ON AFFECTED PARTS USED IN HOT ENVIRONMENTS IE; FLORIDA AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. THE SUBSTANCE CAN NOT BE REMOVED BY CLEANING. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE THRU THE GLARE AND HAZE ON THE WINDSHIELD DURING SUNNY DAYS CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WE BOUGHT OUR CAR IN JANUARY AND IT HAD 1,900 MILES ON IT. WE DIDN'T DRIVE IT VERY MUCH BECAUSE IT WAS WINTER AND THE ROADS IN WV ARE BAD. BUT I REMEMBER IN MARCH WHEN I WENT TO SEE MY DAUGHTER IT STARTED JERKING LIKE IT WANTED TO STOP ON THE ROAD. I REMEMBER I HAD LET THE GAS GET DOWN TO A QUARTER OF A TANK OF GAS WHEN IT FIRST STARTED AND I THOUGHT I HAD GOT SOME BAD GAS. SO I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT SOMETIMES IT WOULD DO IT AND THEN IT WOULDN'T FOR A WHILE. BUT THE PAST MONTH IN JUNE IT IS SO BAD IT FEELS LIKE YOU SLAM ON THE BRAKES WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING AND SOUNDS LIKE THE MOTOR IS GOING TO FALL OUT. I ALSO NOTICED I HAD LET THE GAS GO DOWN TO A QUARTER TANK AGAIN AND IT IS SCARY SO I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IF IT DIDN'T SET THE CODE THEY COULDN'T TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG. THEY SUGGESTED THAT WE HAD WATER IN THE GAS AND TOLD US TO PUT THE WATER TREATMENT IN THE GAS AND WE DID. IT DIDN'T HELP AT ALL IT IS GETTING WORSE SO THEY HAVE FINALLY SET UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR US TO BRING IT IN. I HAVE DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN LOTS OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME THING THAT IS GOING ON WITH OUR NISSAN. IT IS SO BAD I AM AFRAID NOW THAT IT IS GOING TO STOP RUNNING WHILE I AM DRIVING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WONDER IF THAT IS WHY THE PREVIOUS OWNER TRADED IT IN. *TR

I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH MY CARS " AIR BAG OFF " WARNING LIGHT STAYING LIT WITH A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW . IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE " REPAIRED " 4 TIMES . EACH TIME IT WAS NOT CORRECTED . RECENTLY I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR THIS PROBLEM AS PART OF THE SAFETY RECALL . DESPITE THIS ,ONCE AGAIN THIS PAST WEEKEND THE " AIRBAG OFF " LIGHT COMES ON EVEN THOUGH A PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT . THE LIGHT WILL COME ON RANDOMLY AND THEN STAY LIT THE WHOLE TIME I AM DRIVING ... NO MATTER HOW THE PASSENGER SITS OR MOVES IN THE SEAT IT WILL NOT TURN OFF UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED COMPLETELY OFF AND THEN RESTARTED . NOW THE DEALER SAYS TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR THE 5TH TIME AND THEY WILL SEE IF THERE IS AN ERROR CODE . ( IN THE PAST THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY ERROR CODES RETAINED ) I FEEL THIS CAR IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY UNTIL THIS PROBLEM CAN BE FIXED ... UNTIL THEN I NEVER KNOW IF MY AIRBAGS ARE TRULY WORKING CORRECTLY ... AND I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO FIND OUT AFTER AN ACCIDENT THAT THEY WEREN'T . MY LAST NISSAN ! *TR

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT TURNS ON SPORADICALLY, WHETHER A 150 POUND ADULT IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. ISSUE WAS FIRST NOTICED MORE THAN A YEAR AGO. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO OUR VERY PROFESSIONAL AND COURTEOUS NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY AND THEY SAID THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BE RECALIBRATED. THE PROBLEM RECURRED CONSISTENTLY OVER THE LAST YEAR WITH SERVICE DEPARTMENT MECHANICS REPEATEDLY PERFORMING THE SAME "FIX" THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD GIVEN THEM FOR THE ISSUE. ONCE THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED AND WE GOT OUR CAR IN TO THE GARAGE, WE WERE TOLD THAT THE SAME "FIX" WOULD BE PERFORMED. AS EXPECTED, THE ISSUE WAS SEEN ONCE AGAIN 3 DAYS AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD RECEIVED THE RECALL WORK. *TR

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. PROBLEM STARTED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER I LEASED BRAND NEW CAR. THE PROBLEM IS ONGOING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. THE FOX NISSAN DEALERSHIP CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO NISSAN WILL NOT OFFER ANY RESOLUTION. I'VE BEEN TRYING FOR A YEAR NOW AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, NISSAN OR DEALERSHIP CANNOT SAY IF THE AIRBAG WILL WORK IN THE CASE OF A CRASH. I'M PAYING MONTHLY LEASE PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE SAFE. WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO CUSTOMER SERVICE? TOOK THE CAR IN LAST FRIDAY FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL, PROBLEM IS STILL THERE AFTER DEALERSHIP UPDATED THE SOFTWARE PROBLEM. BOTH FOX NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN REGIONAL FIELD REP SAID THERE IS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO SINCE THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THE PHOTOS OF THE PROBLEM THEY HAD ME TAKE WE'RE TO MAKE ME FEEL LIKE THEY ACTUALLY CARED. I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M CONTINUING TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE. *TR
