general problems of the 2015 Nissan Altima - part 1

Low beam headlights delaminated so there is not enough light to see safely at night. I replaced the entire headlight units after just replacing the bulbs to see if that would fix it.

Engine light comes on I get it checked out every time is the same issue saying it's "mass air flow" it's now the 4th time I switch the piece and the car keeps on leaving me stranded now it's lead to a computer problem various mechanics have told me this particular model of year has allot of issues with this I'm not sure why there hasn't been a recall yet.

I am original owner. Twice now in the early morning I have found my trunk automatically opened with out reason. I thought maybe I did it by mistake but I clearly did not after 2nd time. Never has this happened in my life to any of my cars. After looking online I found other owners also experienced same occurrence with this 2015 Altima. I understand it could be anything, bad battery in hand clicker, faulty electrical switch, etc. I located the on/off switch in the glove compartment and turned it off. Now, I just have to remember to turn it on/off all the time so I don't find the trunk opened again. I could get my car stolen if I leave my car out side and go out of town. 1) if there is a recall to get this electrical fixed, please let me known. Thank you.

While driving down the interstate at 70 miles per hour, going up an incline, the car lost all power & then jerked kicking back into gear. Once off the interstate attempting to get to a safe place, it completely shut off without warning! no check engine lights or any warning lights. Just randomly shuts off. After replacing what was assumed as the mass flow air sensor ($186. 00) & the crankshaft sensor ($80) it continues to have issues. The battery (new battery $220) was also replaced & the alternator checked due to randomly shutting off-which checked out to be fine. Come to find out it’s the cvt judder. After reading all the complaints, I’m confused as to why there isn’t a recall or extended warranty on the transmission. My car only has 119k miles! we should not be having issues with these transmission.

I have a issue with my vehicle going into limp mode due to a safety issue with the tcm loosing programming with the transmission. This is a big safety as I'm on the hi way. Car will go from 75 mph down to 20mph and can cause for severe car accident. I spike to your warranty department and they gave me the run around. I gave them info in reguards to a campaing id# which is a clear issue that these Nissan cars are still having. A recall was terminated in late 2016, yet a bulletin was posted online of it being active as of 1/ 2017 still. I was told that it's my problem now and my issue to have Nissan charge me for a reprogramming of the tcm when clearly this issue is still present in. Vehicles in 2024. Many of times I came close to averting a major accident due to car loosing communications with tcm. Again this is very unfair as to how a dealership can brush this safety issue under the rug by simply telling a Nissan vehicle owner, sorry recall was closed, after less then a year of finding out the issue on a car. Nissan must want someone to end up dead in there cars due to a tcm malfunction with transmission so they can bring this to light again. The service bulletin is still out there on there forums and states nothing about warranty, milage of vehicle or any time frame, yet deny that the issue still exist in there vehicles. I hope you all can investigate this further and have Nissan correct there wrongs and not allow someone to die on any americam road due to there neglect of a still persistant issue. . .

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. The contact stated while driving approximately 25–35 mph. The vehicle stated that the engine and battery warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was shuddering. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who informed her that the alternator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced and that there was no warranty coverage. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 94,000.

Left headlight not working.

In 3 different occasions in this same particular order my car would start to slowly loose acceleration of only letting me drive to 10mph before lights on dash would come on such as ps,abs,traction control ect. Then my radio would shut off followed by my whole dashboard before completely the whole vehicle would completely shutdown on me and I could not start up again. I replaced the battery and put in a new alternator, but continued doing the exact same issue. I took it to a mechanic and he determined that for whatever reason the new alternator was not sending out the power and replaced it again and have to reprogram the entire computer because it was sending all kinds of codes that had nothing to do with my vehicles issue. He also noticed the continues whining sort of whistling noise coming from the powersterring as I have read in the past that people have that same problem on this particular model. As of this moment its been about 1 month and has not yet stalled on me for now, but it is very dangerous when this happens in the middle of the street or highway when your running at a certain speed and cannot control your steering since its powersterring.

My car battery died as I turned off the engine in a parking lot. I was unable to unlock the electronic locks. I was stuck in my car for 20 minutes at 100 degree heat before help arrived and was able to assist. There is not a manual unlock mechanism in the interior of the car that would have helped me. I even searched online for any way to let me exit the car with no electricity. If I had been farther away, my health would’ve been very compromised- I am just lucky I did not have a child with me. As a person with multiple health issues, this scenario has me absolutely terrified.

The gear stick gets stuck when trying to shift gears it wont move from parking, headlights seem to not give enough lighting when on, I have replaced the transmission after 3years of having the vehicle, I still owe on the loan and the vehicle still shakes when driving over 80mph on the freeway. I dont currently have any warning lights on the vehicle. I have taken the vehicle many times for repairs for the same complaint that the vehicle shakes when driving it and the problem still has not been resolved. I already spent a lot of money on trying to fix the problems.

The headlights are extremely dim at night. After replacing them, it is still extremely hard to see at night which caused me to almost hit a person crossing the street.

Took my car to nissn dealership for water leak after heavy rain that could effect electrical components. Before they looked at they asked if I had a sunroof and advised it gets clogged easily with this vehicle and thats why I had water getting in my car. This is a known issue with Nissan but they dont address to consumers and. Mt car also had a mildew smell now as well.

On my 3rd transimission sins March 2021 1st one was April 2nd one was June then car was in shop for over 2 months drive it for 1 week 3 transmission was put in November so yeah this car is bad also corpwint help not even anything after a manager called me a crazy bitch.

The cruise control doesn’t work at all, then I’ve only had the car for always two years and the power steering is giving me issues. Also when I roll the window up or dwn the lights will flicker.

Got hit in a magor accident airbags did not deploy on side or driver front or side and lighting on automatic handle lights wetw out reverse drive the lettets on handle think there wad a defect.

Involved in +$6,000 not at fault front end crash on 9/29/2021 in tampa florida. Aggravated previous knee problems. Vehicle is currently at caliper collision in saint petersburg, florida. Insurance involved. Air bag failed to go off. All front end safety sensors failed to work. Previously vehicle was taken to dealer to have forward collision/emergency braking fixed after light on dash was on. Was told it was fixed.

Car was misfiring for a while. Got spark plugs and coils changed. Two days after they were changed car still kept misfiring and jerking and wouldn’t change from the first gear and takes a minute to accelerate after a complete stop. Has white smoke coming from the muffler. Two days ago it stalled to start and would not drive or reverse. Dash board keeps saying system malfunction and ldw (lane departure warning) and bsw (blindspot warning) and check engine light stays on.

Airbag sensor warning lamp is on. Has happened in the past as well but Nissan fixed it since there was a recall. Now the car is outside the warranty, Nissan does not want to fix their defected airbag components/sensors and is asking for $1700 to start with a replacement part on the back of the driver seat and does not even guarantee the fix, they say more diagnosis/repairs might be needed after the first fix. I need help. Nissan north America refused to help and told me if I want I can reach out to NHTSA since there is no recall at the moment. The air bags will not work in the event of a crash and my wife drives this car everyday with my 2 little girls. Can NHTSA help with this safety issue? I purchased this car brand new from Nissan, I am the only owner and this car has never been in an accident.

Head lights, very dim/low visibility. Marker/daytime running light went out. I’ve been having to use high hi beams at nights because my low beams are very dim which can be a safety concern for other drivers as well as not being able to see more than 10 feet in front of me. The ac e knob also stays on when trying to turn it off and does not start the compressor to make the air cold.

My vehicles transmission I was told it has to do with transmission I thought it was a cv joint I not but it turned out to be way more then then that the accelerator peddle would get stuck and then take off fast almost hit someone.

The hood of my car keeps jamming but has a weird noise at times while in motion. The dealership is no longer in business I'm guessing because no one neither the cars are there. It's an empty lot. . The last time as I was driving around a curvy street the hood popped opened unexpectedly.

My back break lights keep burning out and the casing looks like it's burned now. Could it catch fire?.

I was on the highway and my car would not accelerate at all, during up hill or flat portions of the highway . This was was super scary because I’m on the highway in pennsylvania so there’s semi’s flying by. So I pulled off an exit turned the car off waited, unplugged the battery and after a few mins I plugged the battery in and started the car. This did not work at all, so I took a backroad home, later on the car started working correctly. I made an appointment to get the car looked at (thank goodness for extended warranties) but it happened again while I was getting on the highway, I almost got hit by a semi hauling a reefer, almost peeled myself swerved into the side of the highway. Cause a ton of traffic, cuz I could not get home any other way, so I took it in that same day freaking out cuz I almost died. The said it was a bad O2 sensor and that it was covered under the warranty. So they fixed it and everything was fine until last year I got sideswiped by this old lady in a old af Hyundai SUV. And she literally took my entire front fascia so my insurance covered all the repairs and the rental I needed but once they gave it back I noticed the car was hesitating again I legit took it right back. I think I only had the car for 20mins. So they took it to a Nissan dealership so they could run their own test because the O2 seemed fine. Turns out the tranny needed an update… didn’t know that transmission could get an update like my iphone. Anyway the car has been working perfectly fine since I did have to buy aftermarket head lights since the oem are trash and in PA there’s tons of deer everywhere. I do take very good care of my car it is currently at almost 180,000 and still runs super well. I do keep up with all maintenance since I do it myself. Haven’t had any real issues that I can’t fix. With the exception of the ac not working but the car is obviously out of warranty and I haven’t had the time to get under the beauty cover to look at it.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that the side mirrors adjuster switch was no longer operable. The contact stated that the passenger's side headlight was inoperable. The contact stated that her husband was an independent mechanic, and he replaced the passenger's side headlight bulb. The contact stated that 6 months later, the driver's side headlight became inoperable. The light bulb was replaced; however, the failure persisted. Additionally, the rear passenger's side and front driver's side parking lights, and the front driver's side and passenger's side fog lights became inoperable. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact's husband inspected the headlight fuses and noticed that they were in good condition; however, the contact's husband replaced the headlight fuses, but the failure persisted. The contact's husband determined that the fuse box was overloaded. The contact's husband installed a secondary fuse box under the hood, and connected some of the headlight wires, and the headlights became operable, except for the fog lights. An unknown dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000.

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.

Having intermittent issue with accelerator not funcitioning. From time to time you can step on gas and it will not respond. Other issue is the cruise control will not funcition intermittently.

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.

Car completely powered off while traveling traveling at 10mph. The engine and battery symbol appeared, car was able to come to a rolling stop. Placed in park and was able to restart with no issues. Ten minutes later, car is traveling 60mph and car powered off, console turned black, car powered on, powered off and then powered on while maintaining same speed. Third time occurred 5min later as I was trying to safely pull over. Was traveling under 20mph and car powered off , locking breaks and coming to a complete stop while locking steering wheel.

Tl- the contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. The contact stated she activated the air condition but failed to function. The contact stated the vents where blowing hot air. The contact stated no warning light were illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired as of yet. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer has been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 129,776. Dp.

I purchased the car Nov 2016 and has been occurring since March 2017. Randomly, it will tell you that there is no key when you open the door and the key is inside. It will tell you wrong key when you attempt to turn the car on. Or low battery when you have a brand new car and wireless entry battery.

My door latch on the driver side door stopped latching to close the door when letting the window down now door stays open when driving. Its not latched the lock isn't catching and door handle to open the door is loose. I was tryi g to close the door and the handle is not latching when I was coming home from the grocery store with mr children they have a recall for the back doors on this type of car but this is the front door doing the same thing as the back door in the recall it's just the front driver side door.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that the Smart key was replaced numerous times because the battery was always dying. The failure prevented the contact from locking and unlocking the doors. Round rock Nissan (3050 north I-35, round rock, TX 78681) stated that the vehicle was not included in TSB number: 16-028. The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 67,500.

Vehicle back up monitor will go blank when car is in reverse and backing up. This is an intermittent problem at first but is starting to become a more frequent problem.

2015 Altima has incurred two separate water leak issues within two months. First, diagnosed as clogged ac drain. This required complete replacement of carpet. This was repaired under warranty. Second, diagnosed as faulty firewall grommet on steering assembly. This allowed excessive amounts of rainwater to flood driver side carpet and under dash electrical while driving. 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.

Car will not detect key bob all the time or says no key detected or wrong key have tryed several brands of new batteries.
