SERVICE BRAKES
I BOUGHT OUR 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA S BRAND NEW FROM FENTON NISSAN EAST, IN DEL CITY, OK, IN LESS THAN A YEAR, THE BRAKES STARTS MAKING VERY LOUD SQUEAKY NOISES, WHENEVER THE CAR IS IN MOTION, AND I APPLY THE BRAKES. I TOOK THIS CAR TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, AT HUDIBURG NISSAN DEALERSHIP, OKLAHOMA CITY, OK AND THEY DID SOMETHING TO IT THAT GOT RID OF NOISE FOR A WEEK, THEN, THE HIGH PITCHED NOISE CAME BACK, WHEN IN MOTION AND I APPLY THE BRAKES. A LITTLE LATER, I TOOK MY CAR TO FENTON NISSAN EAST DEALERSHIP IN DEL CITY, AND THE SERVICE WOMAN SAID "I HAVE LOTS OF CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE NISSAN ALTIMA CARS AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE BUT SWITCH OUT THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER. SHE SAID IT WOULD COST ME $400.00 OR LIVE WITH THE NOISE." I BELIEVE THIS IS A HAZARDOUS ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED BECAUSE THE BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. TODAY, DECEMBER 14, 2017 THE HIGH PITCHED NOISE IS PRETTY CONSTANT, WHENEVER I DRIVE THE CAR AND APPLY MY NISSAN ALTIMA S BRAKES. GOD FORBID, THAT I EVER HAVE TO APPLY MY BRAKES QUICKLY. YES, I AM AFRAID THAT MY BRAKES WILL GIVE OUT, IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY.

I OWN A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA - AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN I95 SOUTH IN WASHINGTON DC, THE CAR STARTING REVVING AND JERKING. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, AND WHILE DRIVING 65 MILES PER HOUR, IT BECAME VERY UNSAFE. I BROUGHT IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION (CVT) IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED - $4300 AND NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY BECAUSE OF 79K MILES ON THE CAR. I CHECKED ON-LINE AND THEIR SEEMS TO BE A TON OF CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH NISSAN, TO INCLUDE SOME CLASS ACTION SUITS. WHEN TALKING TO THE SERVICE REP HERE, HE SAID THEY SEE IT ALL THE TIME. I AM NOT SURE WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON THIS. DRIVING A RELATIVELY NEW CAR (2 YEARS OLD) THAT STOPS / REVS / JERKS WITH OUT WARNING IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING!

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL - IS THIS VEHICLE SUBJECT TO RECALL? ALSO, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS WILL ONLY DEPLOY WHEN THE PASSENGER WEIGHS OVER ~110 LBS. MY WIFE IS 5'2" & WEIGHS 106 LBS. WHICH IS THE PROPER WEIGHT FOR SOMEONE HER SIZE. WHEN SHE SITS IN THE SEAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINS ON, TELLING US SHE IS NOT PROTECTED BY AIRBAGS. IF 40,000+ PEOPLE LIVES HAVE BEEN SAVED BY AIRBAGS, WHY DOES THE INDUSTRY ALLOW LIGHTER WEIGHT PASSENGERS TO NOT BE PROTECTED? IS THIS A RECALL ISSUE?

MY CAR CAUGHT FIRE AND WAS TOTALED. I HAD BEEN SMELLING SOMETHING THE DAY BEFORE IT CAUGHT ON FIRE. I WAS DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET AND I SMELLED THE SMELL I HAD BEEN SMELLING STRONGER AND I LOOKED AT THE HOOD AND IT WAS SMOKING. I PULLED OVER AND MORE SMOKING STARTED POURING OUT FROM MY CAR. THEN THE DASHBOARD WENT OFF. I GOT OUT AND CALLED 911 AND BY THE TIME THEY GOT THERE THE FRONT OF MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. AFTER IT WAS PUT OUT THE FIRE HAD BURNED THROUGH JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING UNDER THE HOOD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
AT VERY LOW SPEED (AS IN SEARCHING FOR A PARKING SPACE) THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE, WITHOUT WARNING, AND THEN FALL BACK TO AN IDLE. MY CURRENT 2015 ALTIMA IS AT THE BODY SHOP NOW BECAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT (DUE TO THIS UNANNOUNCED ACCELERLATION) WHERE MY WIFE RAN THROUGH A WALL AT RITEAID DRUGS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PARKING SPACE AND ALMOST COMPLETELY STOPPED WHEN IT ACCELERATED. MY WIFE WAS NOT BADLY INJURED, BUT COULD HAVE BEEN, NOT OT MENTION ANY PEDESTRIANS THAT MIGHT HAVE WALKED IN FRONT OF THE HER CAR. I HAVE POLICE REPORT, PICS, ETC., BUT UNABLE TO LOAD THEM. I COMPLAINED TO TENNESON NISSAN ABOUT THIS AND SEVERAL OTHER ISSUES AT THE 5000 MILE SERVICE VISIT, TO NO AVAIL.UPDATED 11/08/17 *BF ...UPDATED 11/14/17 *BF UPDATED 11/16/2017*JS UPDATED 11/17/2017*JS

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM AFTER REACHING ABOUT 75,000 MILES. I MOSTLY DO DAY DRIVING FOR WORK, BUT USE THE CAR A NIGHT FOR HOME USE TOO. I'VE REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS TWICE NOW -EACH TIME GETTING THE NEXT BRIGHTER VERSION HEADLIGHT, BUT THEY'RE STILL, LITERALLY AS BRIGHT AS A CANDLE. CARS BEHIND ME CAST SHADOW IN FRONT OF ME AT NIGHT AND I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING UNLESS I PUT ON MY BRIGHTS. CARS IN FRONT OF ME GET ANNOYED WITH MY BRIGHTS.

ENGINE
WHEN STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP, PRESSING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDDLE NO FORWARD CAR ACCELERATION, NO INCREASE IN RPM. AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME ( 2-3) SECONDS FAST INCREASE IN RPM AND FAST FORWARD ACCELERATION. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE WHEN TRYING TO MERGE FROM A DEAD STOP AND EXPECTING FORWARD MOTION AND THERE IS NONE. THIS HAS BEEN A NISSAN PROBLEM SINCE 2008 AND NO FIX OR TEST WHEN TAKEN TO DEALER. THIS IS A SPORADIC PROBLEM ONLY NOTICED FROM A DEAD STOP, CITY STREETS GOING STRAIGHT OR MAKING TURN ON START, GAS TANK QUANTITY NO ISSUE IN THIS PROBLEM.

HAS A HESITATION ON TAKE OFF, LIKE IT DOES NOT MOVE WHEN YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATOR. A VERY BAD DEAD SPOT. MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY OR STANDING BY A STOPLIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN WE STOP AT A STOPLIGHT, THE CAR WON'T MOVE FORWARD
