Body problems of the 2015 Nissan Altima - part 2

I was driving on the interstate and the hood latch failed and hood flew up causing extensive damage to the car.

I cannot recall the exact date, but late 2018/early 2019, while driving down a residential street I noticed how dim my headlights were. Being that my car is a 2015 model, I naively equated it to age and lightbulb dimness; which was not the case. I swapped head light bulbs, to no avail; I opted for the most expensive head light bulb in autozone, but still hella dim. In my most recent visit to sheehy Nissan service, a recommended service is to "replace headlight assembly/bad reflections. " in addition to the service being recommended, I was informed that it has been a problem voiced to service techs by many other 2015 Nissan Altima owners. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.

On 12/30/2018 I had just left the parking lot of the local walmart and was at a complete stop for a stoplight on the corner of county hwy z and state road 13, waiting to turn left. On the green, I turned and drove approximately 500 feet and my hood flew open to the point of slamming into the roof of the car damaging the vehicle. I pulled over and closed the hood and slowly drove home. When home I checked to see if possible recall on hood. There have been some, I contacted the local dealership after the holidays and was told my VIN was not part of the recall, therefore they couldn't fix any damages and I was to contact consumer affairs.

In 2018, while filling up my gas, I accidentally pulled the hood release lever instead of my gas release lever. After pulling away, while driving the hood released and flew up to my window, causing damage along the hood. Since this incident, I have been going back and forth with Nissan to get it repaired. They initially denied that it was the hood latch problem, as at the time, my VIN number wasn't included in the recalls (although what happened to me was exactly what was included in the recall). I was able to get an appoint with Nissan corp who inspected my car and claimed that the damage was a result of rusting to the hood latch so there wasn't anything they could do. Now that my VIN number is included in the recall, I tried again to get the damage repair/cost covered, but they continue to deny my request stating the rust caused it. (this recall states that rust will form and cause the accident) I don't know where to turn to now as Nissan is being impossible to get help from. Now, even the hood release lever isn't working.

Nissan claims is not a warranty-able failure due to "nature" being source of water which flooded through firewall. Dealer states this has been a common occurrence on 2013-2017 Altimas Nissan also does not see how failure of firewall grommet (s) could lead to vehicles sinking faster in the event of a water crash.

Nissan Altima 4d sedan 2. 5s felt and looked great at 17 odometer readings. Overtime it has lost power and has made me have a rough time on highway than usual. Going at speeds of 55-75+ all seats feel as if they're going to detach from the bottom compartment. Wheels on this sedan are at recommended psi 35-40 yet going at 55-75 speeds it feels as if I'm riding a horse with different types of measures on each side. Front window along with rear end window have both been dislocated from its original position. My car is slowly breaking down at 7. 2k miles brand new.

At times I feel as if the right side is suspended a bit more than the left, and vise versa. Noise level has increased significantly with all windows and doors closed. Somethings definitely wrong with the structure of this vehicle NHTSA, I'm asking for an investigation helping me and others with this problem.

I am unable to close the hood of my car completely. The hood latch is loose at all times and I am unable to use the "open hood" button on the interior. I never received a recall notice from Nissan.

The vehicle "high centered" at various places on speed humps, some of which required backing up to spare worse affects. Early damage is inevitable, and unsafe, and costly. Frequently the vehicle scrapes at parking barriers and curbs. In no way can it be driven on a pasture road of ruts and center ridged elevations, both for "high centering" and catching plant life on fire due to dragging the vehicle bottom on the center ridge. The rear camera is more distracting than beneficial, since about five views must be made when moving in reverse, and the camera view, the 6th, is so inconclusive.
