STRUCTURE:BODY, VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING HOME LAST NIGHT APPROX 35 MPH MY HOOD FLEW OPEN AND UNLATCHED AND IMPAIRED MY WINDSHIELD SIGNIFICANTLY AND VISIBILITY DRIVING WAS EXTREMELY IMPACTED. AS IT WAS LATE IN THE EVENING THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC DIRECTLY IN FRONT OR BEHIND ME. I WAS STARTLED TO SAY THE LEAST. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY NEGOTIATE TO SHOULDER OF ROAD AND ENGAGE HAZARD LIGHTS AND RESECURE THE HOOD. I WAS ON A CITY STREET AND MOVING STRAIGHT AND NOT TURNING THE VEHICLE. I WOULD HATE TO THINK A FAR WORSE OUTCOME IN HEAVY INTERSTATE TRAFFIC AT A HIGHER SPEED.

MY CAR SHUT DOWN MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING IT TO WORK. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO NISSAN AND FIND A WAY TO WORK. NISSAN SAID THEY REPROGRAMMED THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND DIDNT BOTHER TO TELL ME THERE WAS A RECALL. WHEN I GOT IT BACK IT WAS WORSE THAN WHEN I TOOK IT IN THE FIRST TIME. IT IS UNPROFESSIONAL AND DANGEROUS FOR THEM NOT TO TELL ME ABOUT THE RECALL.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE IS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA 4 CYLINDER MOTOR. IT RECENTLY HAD THE TRANSMISSION RECALL, DISGUISED AS A "CAMPAIGN" PERFORMED. IT WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE. SINCE THEN, THE CAR UPSHIFTS WHILE DECELERATING, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STUMBLE & ALMOST STALL. IT IS SIMILAR TO THE TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKING UP & AFFECTING THE DRIVETRAIN. IF THE ENGINE STALLED, DRIVER WOULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE & MIGHT CRASH THE CAR. THE CAR IS IN MOTION WHEN IT HAPPENS ON A ROAD WHERE SPEEDS ARE ABOUT 50 MPH, WHICH IS ABOUT THE SPEED WE WERE DRIVING WHEN IT HAPPENED. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT OR IN MILD TURNS.

2014 NISSAN ALTIMA S, 74,000 MILES. I SHIFTED THE CAR FROM PARK TO REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF PARKING SPACE, THE CAR SHUDDERED AND DIED. I AM VERY FORTUNATE THAT I WASN'T HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC AS THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD MY DAUGHTER STEER THE CAR WHILE I PUSHED IT OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. I TRIED SEVERAL MORE TIMES TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR, IT WOULD RUN FOR A FEW SECONDS AND DIE. THERE WERE NO PREVIOUS PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS AND NO ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER. IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH "TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE/ NEED TO REPLACE CVT UNIT/ FOUND NO DTC'S STORED/FOUND NOT TRANNY LEAKS/ PRINTED OFF TRANNY "A" AND "B" COUNTS JUST IN CASE" I HAVE READ OTHER REPORTS OF THESE ALTIMA'S COMPLETELY FAILING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF NISSAN'S DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. MY FAMILY WAS LUCKY. THE SITUATION COULD HAVE ENDED VERY BADLY IF THIS DEFECTIVE CAR HAD DIED IN TRAFFIC, CAUSING ME OR AN INNOCENT SERIOUS HARM. NOW, MY FAMILY IS FACING AN ALMOST $5000 DOLLAR REPAIR ON A THREE YEAR OLD CAR THAT I DON'T TRUST ANYMORE.

NISSAN HAS A RECALL ON THE CVT ON THE 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA, THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR SOME, BUT NOT ALL. I'VE EXPERIENCED MY VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND VERY STRONG JERKING, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TISCHER NISSAN IN LAUREL AND THE JERKING AND SHUTTING STOPPED AFTER THEY RESET THE CVT PER THE RECALL. HOWEVER, IT HAS STARTED AGAIN AND THEY'RE NOW STATING I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHARGES. THEY KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS PART, YET THEY WON'T BE ACCOUNTABLE. IT IS DANGEROUS AND VERY EXPENSIVE AND IT SHOULD BE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.

ON 14 MARCH 2017, MY TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 50 MILES ON THE FREEWAY. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015 WITH ABOUT 30, 000 MILES ON IT. FROM DAY ONE, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AT VARIOUS TIMES BUT THE MECHANICS STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG AND NO WARMING WAS EVER ABLE TO BE FOUND. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE HALT THROWING ME FORWARD. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT TO SAFETY AND GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALER MATT BOWERS NISSAN LOCATED AT 13050 INTERSTATE 10 SERVICE RD. NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA 70128. THE CONTACT NUMBER IS (504)245-5900. PRIOR TO ARRIVING, I LEARNED THE VEHICLE HAD A RECALL DEALING WITH THE TRANSMISSION BUT NOT SPECIFICALLY WITH IT STALLING AND GOING OUT. ACCORDING TO ONLINE AND THE DEALER, NISSAN RECALLED WHATS CALLED A CVT WHICH RESETS THE TRANSMISSION. EVERY LAST ONE OF THE SERVICE MEN AUTOMATICALLY KNEW THE ISSUE WHEN I TOLD THEM IT STOOPED ON THE FREEWAY. ONE GENTLEMAN EVEN STATED HE WOULDN'T EVEN PURCHASE ONE FOR HIS DAUGHTER OR HIS WIFE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ASSUMING NISSAN NAME WAS STILL GOOD. THERE ARE REPORTS OF TRANSMISSION GOING OUT WITH 10, AND 30 THOUSAND MILES. MY HOOD ALSO POOPED OPEN WHILE ON THE FREE AND CRACKED MY WINDSHIED A FEW WEEKS AGO. I LEARNED TODAY THERE IS A RECALL ON THE HOOD. THE BACK DOOR CAME OPEN WHILE MY GRANDKIDS WERE IN THE BACK. IT TOOK ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO GET THE REAR DOOR TO CLOSE. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN TOYOTA BY KEEPING THIS INFORMATION FROM THE PUBLIC. MY VEHICLE HAS 127512 MILES AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I PUT ALMOST 400 K ON MY IMPALA AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL GOOD. PLEASE MAKE NISSAN PAY AND RECALL THIS TRANSMISSION. OFTEN TIMES CONSUMERS FAIL TO REPORT ISSUES WHICH CAUSE GREAT HARM TO OTHERS. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS IS IN YOUR DATA REGARDING THIS? PLEASE HELP ME. SINGLE MOTHER

THE LIGHT INDICATING A PERSON IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT DOES NOT OPERATE ALL THE TIME. THE DEALER HAS PROGRAMED IT TWICE. THE DEALER IS FRUSTRATED AS THEY HAVE SEVERAL OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER ASKED ME TO CONTACT NISSAN DIRECTLY WHICH I DID. I WAS TOLD TODAY BY A SPECIALISTS FROM NISSAN THAT I HAVE TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN WHEN IT IS DOING IT, I EXPLAINED IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE DEALER. SHE INFORMED ME THIS WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE THAT I HAVE TO BRING IT IN WHEN IT IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. I GUESS SHE COULD NOT COMPREHEND THE FACT THAT IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, MOST LIKELY DUE TO A FAULTY T PASSENGER SIDE SENSOR IN THE SEAT. THE PASSENGER WEIGHTS IS AROUND 120 POUNDS SO SHE IS HEAVY ENOUGH FOR THE SENSOR TO PICKUP HER WEIGHT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAG MIGHT NOT DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT. MOST OF THE TIME WHEN THE VEHICLE LIGHTS ACTS UP IS WHEN WE FIRST START OUT. THERE IS NO SET PATTERN TO CREATE THIS PROBLEM, MIGHT BE OK FOR A WEEK OR TWO THEN COULD DO IT TWO OR THREE DAYS IN A ROW AND MAYBE GO OUT BY IT SELF. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, MAYBE CLOSE TO A YEAR.

RECEIVED THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 UPDATE FOR OCS ERROR ON PASSENGER AIRBAG. I HAD SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT REGARDING THIS AFTER NISSAN'S PREVIOUS UPDATE DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS STILL NOT RESOLVED. AFTER 2 MONTHS OF USE I AM SEEING THAT WHEN MY WIFE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT NOTIFYING ME THAT THERE IS NO PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT STAYS ON STILL. I CAN 'RESET' BY TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING IT BUT CAN NOT BE POSITIVE THAT THE VEHICLE IS ACTUALLY 'SEEING' THE PASSENGER. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY BIG ISSUE WITH NISSAN AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT RESOLVED. I HAVE NOT TALKED WITH THEM SINCE WHEN I DO THE ANSWER I'VE PREVIOUSLY GOTTEN IS "WE'VE COMPLETED THE UPDATE AND DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S NOT WORKING FOR YOU" BRING IT IN AND WE'LL LOOK - TO NO AVAIL. SO I PREFER NOT TO LET THEM PLAY AROUND SINCE RESETTING THE COMPUTER DOES NOTHING.

STEERING
THE CAR STEERING WHEEL PUMP MAKES A WHINING NOISE WHICH CAN BE HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR. THE NOISE IS SO IRRITATING THAT IT CAN OUT ANYONE HAVE A VERTIGO. YET TWO NISSAN DEALERSHIPS SAY THIS IS NORMAL, AND REFUSE TO ACCEPT IT. SOME ALTIMAS HAVE THE NOISE ASND SOME DO NOT. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT NISSAN (THE COMPANY) AND NISSAN DEALERSHIPS ARE COLLUDING AND DON'T WANT TO MAKE THIS EXPENSIVE RECALL. THIS WILL MAY LEAD TO DRIVERS HAVING ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE HIGHLY ANNOYING NOISE

I PURCHASED VEHICLE IN 2014 AND I HAVE HAD ALL REQUIRED MAINTENANCE PERFORMED. I'M NOT AT 71K MILES AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ABRUPT JERKING WHILE DRIVING. NISSAN HAS A RECALL TO REPROGRAM THE CVT. HOWEVER, THEY OFFERED EXTENDED WARRANTIES TO FEW CUSTOMERS AND NOT ALL OF US. THIS IS AN ONGOING COMPLAINT REGARDING THE CVT AND THE ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY CONSUMERS HAVE PAID...NOT TO MENTION THE INEVITABLE SAFETY RISK. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE AND NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON MONDAY REGARDING THE RECALL...WHICH THEY DID NOT INFORM ME ABOUT UNTIL I CALLED ABOUT MY CAR 2 DAYS AGO. NOT TO MENTION ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG, THAT I FOUND OUT ABOUT ONLINE. THEY ARE NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS AT ALL.
