POWER TRAIN
The transmission failed /malfunctioned. It’s available for inspection upon request. My safety and the safety of others was put at risk when the vehicle stalled at a traffic light or in the middle of traffic. Took the vehicle to autozone to be scanned and they confirmed it was the transmission. The vehicle has not been inspected by the dealer yet because I would have to paid between $200-350 to have the vehicle towed to the dealership where the vehicle was purchased which is two hours away. The local dealership charges $130 to diagnosis my vehicle. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to the failure. The CVT message appeared on my dashboard after the vehicle stalled and would not accelerate more than 5 miles or would not move at all upon acceleration of the gas. In addition to the current transmission issue, I have also had the brake light switch adjusted twice. The failure of the brake light switch drained the vehicle battery resulting in having the battery replaced as well.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The Automatic Emergency Braking System continuously brakes and slows the car down when driving. One particular incident happened on 6/15/2021 when I was travelling at 45MPH and there we cars behind me. The system beeped as if it detected a crash and then stop the car. There were no other cars in front on me and I almost got into an accident because of the sudden braking. There were no warning lamps, messages, or anything else that would prompt the vehicle to immediately break. It has done this 3 more times in the last two weeks and its hazardous to me and other drivers on the road. Now every time I put my vehicle in drive it says AEB malfunction and the vehicle no longer detects forward collisions or any passengers. I haven't taken the vehicle to the dealership yet; however, I had an oil change and when the dealer inspected my vehicle they said everything was in good shape. I'm not sure how this was missed.

POWER TRAIN
Vehicle has noise from rear differential . Dealership confirms the noise is the rear electric cuppling . Dealership states no recall or warranty for this concern . The 2019 Nissan Rouge which utilizes the same AWD system , including the same electric cuppling with the exact same part number has an open & active recall , yet Nissan has chosen to NOT recall the Altima . Dealership states they suspect "there's not many AWD Altimas to cause a recall." The fact that both vehicles utilize the same exact AWD system including the same cuppling with the same part # should warrant a recall across all vehicles utilizing that system , not just one .

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The Check engine light came on and I took it to Nissan dealer. My car is at 39,000 mileage. On the previous Nissan Altima (2016) I had, the same thing happened while I was driving from Minnesota to Louisville. We almost crashed at Chicago due to some engine issue. When I arrived to Louisville, KY, I stopped by Nissan dealership and ask them what happen and they told me it will take up to two weeks to fix but recommended to get a new vehicle. I had no choice but to change to a new 2019 Nissan. Now the same thing is happening to this new Nissan Altima and Nissan is not willing to fix the issue without charge. This is very frustrating. I been having issue with the door not unlocking with a remote and they fixed it once and now I have the same issue they are willing to fix again. But My main concern is not the door but the engine light they refuse to fix. Please help.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I HAVE HAD TWO SEPARATE INCIDENTS 8 MONTHS APART. WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY LIMITS ON BOTH OCCURRENCES GOING ABOUT 45 MPH BOTH TIMES, WITHOUT ANY NOTICE OR POTENTIAL COLLISION THE AEB ENGAGED, AND A RED FLASH CAME ACROSS MY DASHBOARD. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS JUST ME IN THE CAR WITH VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC AROUND ME, WHEREAS WITH THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE THE TRAFFIC WAS HEAVIER. I HAD MY MOTHER AND 2 YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE BACKSEAT, WITH A TRUCK THAT LOOKED LIKE A F-150 NOT FAR BEHIND ME. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM, AND I HAVE TWICE GOTTEN THE RESULTS THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, SO I GUESS IT CAN'T BE RECTIFIED. THANKFULLY I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT, BUT DRIVING THE CAR IN THAT CONDITION RAISES THE RISK OF A COLLISION, AND I'M DONE WITH THAT RISK.

WHEELS
IN 2020 IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST, I BOUGHT MY FIRST CAR FROM HONDA OF FORT MYERS LOCATED IN FLORIDA. THE CAR SEEMED LIKE IT WAS A GREAT CAR. HOWEVER, THE CAR BEGIN TO HAVE MINOR PROBLEMS LIKE I DISCOVER A CLUNG NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE CAR. WHEN I TOOK IT TO GET IT CHECK, THE TECHNICIAN DISCOVERED THAT ONE OF THE BREAK PADS WAS LOOSE. THAT WAS JUST ONE OF PROBLEM. THE MAIN PROBLEM AND COMPLAINT THAT I HAVE IS THE CAR WAS SOLD TO ME WITH THREE BENT RIMS. AFTER DISCOVERING A SHAKE WHEN I REACH 40 MPH, I TOOK IT TO GET LOOKED AT BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIRES. ONCE I TOOK IT IN TO GET NEW TIRES, THE TIRE TECHNICIAN TOOK A LOOK AT IT AND REALIZED THAT IT WAS THE RIMS AND NOT THE TIRES. SO I DECIDED TO GO BACK TO WHERE I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOTHING I CAN DO BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE CAR AS IF.

SEAT BELTS
AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE, I REALIZED THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT DOESN'T LOCK SECURELY IN PLACE ONCE FULLY EXTRACTED. I CALLED THE DEALER THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM & THEY STATED THAT NONE OF THE NISSANS ON THEIR LOT DRIVERS SEATBELTS LOCKS IN PLACE ONCE FULLY EXTRACTED. I FIND IT STRANGE THAT EVERY OTHER SEATBELT INSIDE MY ALTIMA LOCKS IN SECURELY EXCEPT FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I THINK THAT'S A MAJOR SAFETY (YET BASIC) HAZARD ON A VEHICLE WITH MULTIPLE COMPLEXED SAFETY FEATURES. NOTHING HAPPENED PER SAY YET, I WANT TO GET THIS ADDRESSED BEFORE IT'S TO LATE & SOMETHING DOES OCCUR. I JUST PULSE LIKE THIS PREVENTATIVE OBSERVATION HANDLED AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE. PURCHASE DATE 01/07/2020.
