general problems of the 2015 Nissan Altima - part 2

My car caught fire and was totaled. I had been smelling something the day before it caught on fire. I was driving on the city street and I smelled the smell I had been smelling stronger and I looked at the hood and it was smoking. I pulled over and more smoking started pouring out from my car. Then the dashboard went off. I got out and called 911 and by the time they got there the front of my car was on fire. After it was put out the fire had burned through just about everything under the hood.

At very low speed (as in searching for a parking space) the car will accelerate, without warning, and then fall back to an idle. My current 2015 Altima is at the body shop now because of an accident (due to this unannounced accelerlation) where my wife ran through a wall at riteaid drugs while attempting to park. The vehicle was in the parking space and almost completely stopped when it accelerated. My wife was not badly injured, but could have been, not ot mention any pedestrians that might have walked in front of the her car. I have police report, pics, etc. , but unable to load them. I complained to tenneson Nissan about this and several other issues at the 5000 mile service visit, to no avail.

When placed on park the car still rolls forward or back and almost caused an accident. The car pulls when driving in a slow speed of 5-20 mpr and sometimes the floor on the driver side vibrate. Also, the electrical buttons located on the steering wheel are unable to be used when on parked or driving. The volume or phone or selection switch does not work again. . .

Manufacture date 10/14. Vehicle was serviced after an oil change with filter. Also the cabin air filter was replaced. The engine air filter was not replaced. 1. Owner left shop and called about 20 minutes later saying that smoke was coming from under the hood. Two technicians went to the scene and front of vehicle was on fire the engine compartment was a total loss and passenger area of the front windshield was also melted away. 2. After researching for this year/ make and model there has been several other cars with mysterious fires. 3. Discussed with technician and the only item that was.

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 27,108.

Car caught on fire by it self while driving, it was a clear night, I did not hit anything. Just started by its self.

My Altima is only 2 months old and did not start 4x already. It seems to do this first thing in the morning when the car is cold. My steering wheel is vibrating constantly and I can feel a vibration with my foot on the accelerator. There is a loud noise like a constant dentist drill under my hood that is louder every time I turn. The dealership just replaced my power steering pump and there is no change! my passenger airbag light is on when there is a passenger in the car. It will go off during drive time. It does not matter if I have my purse, a bag, heavy books or a person-it sporadically goes off and on while I am driving. I do not feel safe knowing the airbag will not deploy in a crash! lithia Nissan has checked the sensor, but it is still doing it. I owned a 2008 Altima and 2011 Altima that never required service other than oil changes and air in my tires. I am very disappointed with this 2015 piece of junk! I can hear wind noise no matter what speed I am driving. I feel like I am in a crash test every time I slow down. Nissan tech said it is the new cvt transmission. Honda, Lexus, Toyota, mercedes and Audi have cvt and it is a smooth ride! why does Nissan cvt jerk you around? the car is so cheaply made the speakers are popped up and paint is chipping. I have reported my issues to Nissan corp. And bbb. The newest issue is the rpm rev up as I sit at red lights. I want Nissan to rebuy this car back!.

I can not see at all with my regular headlights on (low beams). . It is a terrible safety hazard and I drive around with my 3 year old everyday andnight. . . It's sooo bad and I was shocked to hear that Nissan is taking zero responsibility for this. . . There are so many complaints about this. . . . They should friken do something cause it's very unfair that now I have to pay for friken new headlights and shell out over $600 for friken defected headlights. . . . Never ever buying a damn Nissan ever again. . . If they don't eventually (sometime soon) take care of this. . . . & do the right thing by their customers. . . .

I bought a brand new Nissan Altima 2015 car. My car has been having issues. Right now, its mass air flow (maf) sensor failed which had caused safety concerns including drivability problems. The car at times dies in the middle of the road and its hard to control the car. I have infants in my car and I feel it is not safe for a brand new car to have issues. According to my dealer maf sensor is a known issue with Nissan cars. Two days ago I nearly had an accident because of this issue.

Vehicle gets 28 mph on highway for long distance travel. Vehicle is advertise to get 36 on highway. Two trips of 9 to 10 hours on highway (non-mountain)shows 28 mph. Third trip 4. 5 hours shows 28 mph on highway. Vehicle gets the same 28 mph city. Extremely poor mileage on highway. I have continuously reported this problem to Nissan dealership,and was told by service manager the computer had to catch up with the car.

Tl-the contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while driving 55 mph, the vehicle changed gears without notice. The vehicle shifted into neutral without warning. The vehicle was placed into gear and was ok. The vehicle had problems with the keyless entry not working and also the airbag warning light becoming illuminated. All the problems with the vehicle have recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it could not be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 4,500. The VIN was not available. Ed.

Nissan Altima 2015 purchased on 8/15/15 with 6 miles on the engine. On 8/19/15 car was dead without power. Battery was replaced and two days later it started powering off again as the vehicle was warming up, and as I was idle at red lights. Has turned off 6 times total since purchasing car 17 days ago. Called Nissan consumer affairs and finance which authorized return of the vehicle. Dealership did not comply stating that I had to make reasonable attempts to repair per the lemon law. Do not purchase Nissan, they have worked the loopholes to go against the consumer, protect themselves, and not create recalls for this. Other competitor dealerships accept returns on vehicle malfunctions within 30 - 60 days after purchase. Nissan does not offer this same option because they know their products have faults.

The driver's side blind spot warning light constantly goes on & off. It has always done this & dealership cannot find anything wrong. The passenger side has done it in the past but I haven't noticed it lately. It is very annoying & now I turn the system off most of the time.

While driving alone on 03/12/2015 noticed the airbag auxiliary light come on in my new 2015 Nissan Altima. The Altima was serviced for this on 03/18/2015 and the light was reset with the technician stating the passenger side airbag sensor was under recall. Then, while driving on 03/22/2015 the airbag auxiliary light came on once again, also when I was the only occupant in the vehicle. The Altima was serviced again for this issue on 03/25/2015 where the technician stated objects left on the passenger seat (laptop bags, etc. ) can cause the sensor to go off and that it's a known issue. They recommended to not put anything onto the passenger seat aside from an adult person. Although I have placed a bag onto the passenger seat a couple of times while driving, the airbag auxiliary light never came on while anything or anyone was in the passenger seat. Then again today, 03/26/2015, the airbag auxiliary light came back on in my 2015 Nissan Altima while I was driving with nothing/no one in the passenger seat.
