Body problems of the 2015 Nissan Altima - part 1

The hood to my car randomly unlatched and smashed my windshield while I was going 30mph.

I am unable to see at night because my headlights are dim but keep passing inspection, and I am afraid I am going to crash. . . I have complained to my Nissan dealership since the recall was in effect but it has expired and I continuously pass inspection but when I drive at night I have to use high beams and can not see a thing. This is my 4th attempt for help. I almost hit a deer the other night. The lights are so dim that it seems that they are not even on. . I have to turn my high beams on just to see and I was warned that I can recieve a ticket for driving with high beams on. . I went to the Nissan company and they said there was nothing they could because they didn't honor the recall on the headlight assemblies anymore and I would have to pay $1500 to replace them. I'm disabled and can not afford to do that. . What else can Nissan do I am getting ready to get rid of this and advise everyone of Nissan practices.

Hood latch will not release. Suspect the latch or components under the hood, similar to other Nissan Altima's that were recalled for same issue, failed similarly and now repairs and or quick access to engine bay in the event of an emergency is impossible without first repairing the latch and components involved. Called Nissan dealership they said some Nissan Altima's had been recalled for the same issue, but not mine. No indication of failure until owner attempted to open the hood. Hood had opened up till the last service at a Nissan dealership. Scheduled repair at a Nissan dealership at my own expense since it isn't covered under recalls like other Nissan Altima's.

When driving the car the hood flew up damaging the hood, windshield, and corner of the top fenders.

Hello, on October 15th, close to 5 pm, I was driving on a busy highway surrounded by other cars when suddenly, the hood of my 2015 Nissan Altima slammed into my windshield. There was damage to the hood, a cracked windshield, the left side wheel was pulling to the side, and there was damage done near the sunroof top of my car. The interior light box inside the car was hanging. My insurance was made aware of the incident. I am a 67-year-old woman. I and others on that highway could have lost our lives. Please get in touch with me ASAP about this horrific incident. Photos were taken of the damages.

Both rear doors are not opening from the inside. At first the right side rear door wasn’t opening and I filed a complaint here-few years ago. Now the left side rear door has stopped opening from the inside.

Hood latch sensor doesn’t work.

The hood safety latch failed causing the hood to fly open. The hood cracked the windshield and damaged two body panels on the car. The incident happened on a 4 lane state route traveling west going approximately 30 mph. I had just turned onto the road and was accelerating.

The secondary hood latch recall has been outstanding without a remedy fix for to long. It came out may of 2020. In 4 months it will be a year. I'm not able to do my second jobs with the outstanding recall. This needs to be fixed ASAP. Nissan needs to provide customer with a loaner until something is done because it's a safety issue and I don't want the hood flying up.

On 8/8/2020 I was going to my niece's birthday party. While the car was in motion on the beltway, my hood popped up 5 times. I had to continuously pull over on the shoulder of the beltway (which is very dangerous) to keep re-closing the hood. I was very scared and concerned the hood would fly up while I was driving which would cause me not to be able to see the road at all. This was not the first time that this has happened. It's been happening on and off for at least 2 weeks. On 8/10/2020 I took my vehicle to the dealership for regular maintenance and to my surprise Nissan doesn't have a fix to this problem. I now have to be without my vehicle for how ever long until Nissan can come up with a temporary fix and was not offered a loaner vehicle. I am highly disappointed with Nissan and I have been a customer for years.

I was driving on the highway, heading home and randomly the hood on the car flew open. I believe the hood latch is faulty due to the recall. I was driving at 40 mph on the hwy. My view was obstructed but I safely pulled the vehicle in to the service lane. I hopped out the car to check the damages and notice the front panels on both sides of my vehicle was broke because of the hood latch flying opened. Luckily my windshield did not break due to this because as the driver I've could've been injured. The hood would not safely closed and I had to drive slow on the street to make home safely. Geico insurance has pictures and more explanations of the damages.

I was notified by the car sharing platform that I advertise my car on that it had a recall summer of 2020 and that I could not put my car on the platform until the safety issue was repaired. The safety issue is mostly prevalent where there is a lot of salt used for deicing the roadways on the east coast. I am on the west coast so does not apply to me. I have not been able to make any money with my car which is the only reason I purchased it. I checked today and there is still no fix. . . For a hood latch!! I can not sell the car as an active recall, even a minor one such as this, devalues my car and I would still owe on my loan. Nissan dragging their feet on this fix has resulted in me losing thousands of dollars in income.

Received recall notice 20v-315, stating the secondary hood latch may not function properly. Letter indicates a remedy expected in the mid-2021 timeframe. This is unexceptable as this is not a new issue and has been a known issue since at least 2016.

I was driving home from the gym when my car had a funky smell, so I stopped at a friends house, I opened the hood and it turned out it was something with my tires, but the smell went away, as soon as I got back into my vehicle a d I drove maybe a quarter mile away I was making a left hand turn when my hood suddenly popped open, even though I made sure it was closed, that has never happened to me and ever since then I been afraid of opening the hood to even check on anything.

The hood opened while driving. The hood struck and broke the windshield, damaged both fenders at the top and obscured the drivers path.

While driving on a city street the hood of the car flew open damaging both fenders. Hood was closed but the latch did not secure causing it to fly open causing damage to the body of the vehicle.

Hit back of car at red light. Airbag never deployed.

My wife's 2015 Altima 2. 5 sl has a tremendous water leak on the drivers side filling the cabin with inches of water. This vehicle has been garage kept for the 5yrs, but with the purchase of my new car we know keep the Altima in the driveway. After a recent rain I noticed a very strong musty, moldy odor and the sound of water as I backed out of the driveway, as I reached level ground my feet where soaked with water. I have had the drain tubes cleaned and cleared as this was mention to me at the dealership as a common problem. This did not fix the water leak and Nissan requires $475 to check the problem further. I did a search online and noticed this is a common problem with Nissan vehicles, as this water leak seem to come from faulty structural welding it's a safety hazard to the electrical system and safety of the vehicle as a whole, we now experience slight electrical glitches with our Altima which again I feel is a safety hazard.

The vehicle was parked. It rained and the water flooded in through some drain. Now the vehicle had 2 inches of water on the passenger side, front and back. I called Nissan and they are not accepting responsibility. The vehicle is developing mold and electrical issues. It is not safe to sit on the passenger side and is a major health and safety issue. This is manufacturing issue but the dealership is attempting to make me pay for repairs since the car is out of warranty.

The vehicle was taken to an auto body shop where the windshield was replaced. A dealer was not notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The contact referenced the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 16v029000 (latches/locks/linkages) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 77,000.

I was driving on the freeway and all of a sudden my hood flew up onto my windshield. It was very frightening. . . I don't understand how this can happen when the hood is latched shut.

5 years old and had to replace complete subframe, Nissan would not cover due to living by the ocean , other 2 Altima's from 08 have no issues . Repair cost was $3000 . Figured out issue when right front bottomed out and a-arm sitting on the ground.

My vehicle has had an open recall since may 2020. However, there is still "no remedy yet available". Due to this open recall I am not allowed to rent my vehicle out, causing me to lose money everyday!.

I was driving on a highway at the speed of 50 mph and my hood flew open. I had to slam on my brakes in the middle of the highway and try and pullover with no view out my front windshield. There is damage to my hood and surrounding area due to this mishap. I am afraid to ever open my hood in case it does not shut properly again. I had just bought this car in November of 2019. I had my son in the car with me at the time.

Got the recall about the hood latch took it to Nissan and had it fixed. My hood latch isn't staying latched now it pops up as I'm driving. And at times the hood latch won't let you open it . Something is wrong with it or the Nissan dealership in erie pennsylvania don't know what they are doing.

I tried to release the hood by way of pulling the interior latch, it did not open. I called the dealership they told me to bring it in the next day. I got out of the car and pressed on it (to be sure it was closed) and drove away from the gas station. I was driving 30 miles per hour when the hood let go and hyperextended and flew up in front of me and I was unable to see anything.

One day my hood latch came open while driving and now it won't even open up at all.

My passenger side rear door does not lock. I'm able to open the door when the car is parked and locked. The initial issue happened while the car was parked and locked and alarm was engaged. I was able to open the door and the alarm went off. It also opens when can is on and locked.

Air bag light comes on and off randomly. Hood release latch does not work, it pulls but the hood does not pop.

Rear driver's door cannot open from the inside. It make fly open while car is in motion. While driving on expressway, I had to slam on my brakes because a car jump in my lane without warning; both passenger and driver seat belts did not snatch back.

The rear driver side door cannot open from the inside. Have to let window down to grab the outside handle in order to open that door. Reported it to dealership. No recall on VIN. . The problem was not solved. The door might open while car is in motion.
