1 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2023

It smells like gas when I start the car. It's also wasting alot of gas. I have to put gas every couple of days. I spend more money putting gas. The steering and suspension and the tires keep giving me problems to where the brakes locked up on their own and now it drives really bad especially on the freeway. The steering wheel moves alot when I'm on the freeway sometimes feel like I'm loosing control of the car. The gas pedal gets stuck and the gear shift gets stuck in park. I have to use a nail filer the metal ones and push and hold the shift lock for it to move into gear. The car keeps saying key not detected even tho it's in the car with me. I just got the car from a small dealership in pomona in April of 2023.

4 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 08/09/2021

On my 2014 Nissan Altima, sometimes from a stop when accelerating there is a delay. Rpm's do not go up, just no movement. But if you leave the gas pedal engaged when the motor decides to work it hits hard. The danger is entering traffic. It's very scary. If it was to happen to my wife she would panic and press the accelerator more and that also creates a whole different situation. . . I have read that "Nissan" is not claiming any responsibility for this problem and actually hasn't fixed any customers cars because they cannot recreate this failure! thank you, tom.

5 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 07/12/2021

While driving the car will suddenly jerk and starts to shake and when pressing the gas the car will not accelerate so I have had to turn on emergency lights to not get hit in the back the rpm goes up but not the mph.

6 Other Fuel System problem

7 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 02/12/2020

Pulled into a handicap parking place, all of a sudden the car accelerated forward at a high speed. Knocking down the handicap sign and went through a store glass window. We sat there in shock not nothing what just happened. The police arrived and a said it must have been the gas pedal, they assume since I was a older person that I had stepped on the gas pedal instead of the brake. I know I had my foot on the brake. I feel this is differently a recall problem. Nissan has had this problem since 2000 and no one has done anything about it. I have lost my license and my insurance over this. Please take this matter seriously! what if this was a school crosswalk and children were going across. I worked in the hospital for 47 years now it's time for me to travel and enjoy my retirement. I can't even go to the doctors or grocery stores. Please save our children and our community. The vehicle was in park at the time this happed.

10 Other Fuel System problem

The air bag light came on showing the airbag for the driver is no longer working. I thought there was a recall on it since I have heard and read online this has been a common problem. Same with the engine light glitch I have read is a common problem which doesn't allow my car to accelerate properly when that light is on.

14 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 12/14/2014

I have number of problems with my vehicle - 2014 Altima sl. Several times after stop and go traffic the transmition stopes switching gears (speeds). It gets stuck on a first gear equivalent in cvt transmition. The fix is to restart the vehicle, abviously this could be dangerous on the road where there are no places to stop. Another major problem is a head unit (navigation, radio, etc). It restarts by itself now and than, sometimes right in a middle of the highway when I'm trying to figure out what exit to take and I need the gps guidence. Its absolutely unrelable. I'm not complaining about the quality of the software here that is terrible, by the way, but in any situation it should not restart by itself! another problem, as mentioned by others, is mileage. I get much less miles as advertised! this is my first and last Nissan!.

15 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 11/26/2014

Vehicle is driven several miles so the engine is warm. Three times the car has stalled when stopping at a light or slowing at an intersection to make a left turn. When moving from the waiting position the car will stall and as an oncoming car is coming poses a left threatning situation as it will not move forward immediately. Car has been taken to Nissan dealership 2 times and both times nothing shows on the computer. Also, the car was driven the last time and the stall is not replicated. Because the problem is not replicated nisaan refuses to admit there is a problem with the car although a life is in jepordy due to the danger of making a left had turn in front of traffice when there is ample time to make the turn. I have spoken to the national office and they refuse to do anything since the computer says the car is not broken.

16 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 06/29/2014

When I turn the ignition nothing happens. All I hear is a click where the car is trying to ignite. After trying several times it finally cranks up and start. I've had the battery checked and have taken it to Nissan for a diagnostic test and both came back negative. Not sure what the problem but it is happening more frequent now since the first time it happened in November 2013 and again in April 2014. If the issue isn't showing up after paying $85 for a diagnostic test at Nissan, I wonder if others are experiencing this issue.

17 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 03/18/2014

Vehicle wanders and does not keep in a straight line. It is not stable . There is lot of wind noise coming inside and there is always a sloshing sound and believe it is the fuel. Not safe as the fuel always bangs around the walls.

18 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 03/10/2014

This car makes a lot of noises when stopping at most speeds! you can hear gas moving around inside of the car like your at the beach sounds like waves hitting up against a boat docked! has been to several dealerships and no one will own up to it including Nissan customer services! I'm worried for my safety and others!.
