general problems of the 2015 Nissan Altima - part 2

The transmission went out with less than 75000 miles motor mounts bad and air bags does not work. The vehicle was in motion on city street.

Takata recall. . . . When vehicle is in traffic on highway at a stand still and you finally get to move the vehicle won't change gears. The rpm will go as high as 8 but the mileage will not go up, it will stay at that lower level speed.

Driving on the freeway at 75mph and the car starts jerking and I was unable to accelerate I believed the car would stop. I managed to to get out of the freeway with the speed coming down and then my car gave out . It is a safety concern. Sometimes I am at a redlight and my car will not accelerate. I have 70,000 miles on my car.

Car will suddenly lose ability to accelerate during hot or cold weather. When this happens, the car will hesitate to move for about 5 seconds then will suddenly begin to accelerate at a very low speed. If I pull over and turn the car off for a few minutes, it behaves normally again. I have almost been involved in several accidents this winter and summer when this has happened in heavy traffic. Please help.

The car started vibrating as if it's going to shit down, the engine light cam on. Took the car to advance auto , was told that the sensor needed to be repaired laced. Took the car to a Nissan dealer had the sensor replaced, drove the car for two days. Driving to work the next day had the same experience this time the car just stopped. Took it back to the Nissan dealer was told that the other sensor needed to be replaced. I'm afraid that I might be driving on a highway and may encounter the same problem I hope to god not, but at this point I'm a bit worried. Had the car for 4,months now.

Every once in a while no matter how far put my foot down on the pedal it will not accelerate. This is extreamly dangerous as it has happened when crossing intersection in very busy traffic situations. I would say I probably would have been hit at least 5 times in this situation, but the drivers coming the other way saw I was having. A problem and slowed down so they would not hit me.

Nissan seems to have defective ac components in their 2015 Altima vehicles. The below link shows additional individuals that have experienced the exact same issue with their 2015 Altima. The compressor does not always engage, which causes the vehicle to blow out hot air. However, in some cases the compressor clutch will engage and blow out cool air, but it is very inconsistent. .

I was driving around a little while and when I came to a stop at a stop light I pushed my gas pedal to accelerate forward and my car did not move, as I pushed my gas pedal all the way to the floor my car would very lightly move. Finally after moving barely forward my car would go , I had cars almost hit me and people getting enraged I am not moving, this is an ongoing problem now, it happens often and sometimes causing a very serious and dangerous situation. After doing my research many of owners of this year make and model are having the same issue but yet nothing to come out from Nissan for recall. I read if you turn your car off and back on it will reset and then the car goes just fine till the next time and that does work but that is dangerous as well. I bought this car as I thought it would be a safe car for my children and myself. This has been a dangerous issue . When we drive it in the heat it happens worst and then will be on the freeway and it will rev the engine really high and not switch down. Please Nissan tell me you are going to do something for your loyal customers this is the third Nissan I have owned. And I have the airbag issue . It wont pick up my son sitting there and he is 160 lbs.

Code p0101 oem specific dtc code. Category engine performance - the mass air flow sensor is part of the engine fuel injection system. When driving the engine feels like it struggling to accelerate.

I have had problems with my brakes, they sqiuk all the time. The engine light come on and I was told that I had to replace the mass air flow senser my car is only a 2015. This is not right.

(kh - dealer info inadequate) tl the contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced a loss of engine power. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to autoeastern Nissan of meadowland where the technician diagnosed that the cvt transmission was defective and the valve body needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified and offered to partially pay for the repair. The failure mileage was approximately 67,600.

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.

When starting from a dead stop, pressing down on the accelerator peddle no forward car acceleration, no increase in rpm. After a short period of time ( 2-3) seconds fast increase in rpm and fast forward acceleration. This is very unsafe when trying to merge from a dead stop and expecting forward motion and there is none. This has been a Nissan problem since 2008 and no fix or test when taken to dealer. This is a sporadic problem only noticed from a dead stop, city streets going straight or making turn on start, gas tank quantity no issue in this problem.

"takata recall" I've only had my car for a month I bought it on 9/15/2017. Now my transmission went out. I bought the car from houston auto group.

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.

I was on my way to my destination and every time I would press the gas pedal the car wouldn't accelerate. It would hesitate to go. Then later that afternoon I was at a red light and the car turned off. No warning lights came on at all and I had plenty of gas.

I keep reading the same exact story as mine, yet no recalls or help for this problem on so many Nissan Altimas. Sitting still at a redlight, light turns green, your foot is on accelerator but nothing happens for five to ten seconds. Finally the engine begins to rev. Extremely scary when turning in front of traffic. Can also happen when going down the road and all of a sudden the tachometer races, engine races, and wont come down until you pull over and turn the car off and immediately turn it back on. This resets something and everything is okay then. Turning it back on resets the problem so it's obviously a simple issue but it is a very dangerous problem. My whole family has come close on several occasions of being in a serious wreck due to this persistent problem. I'm shocked that Nissan hasn't had a recall on this. I read on the internet that there is a recommendation that the valve body be replaced, but this is not in effect for my particular VIN number. You asked below when this happened. It has happened ever since I had the vehicle for the past two years. Sporadically, maybe once every two to three weeks.

First I was pulling out of my driveway and the car just stopped, I started the car back up and it went. I drove about 3 miles and it was like I couldn't steer the car and as I was pressing the brakes the car was like accelerating. I had to repeatedly push on brakes for the car to slow down and stop. I haven't had this car but 6 months and it's a new vehicle.

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

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.

Car was purchased new in late April 2015. When I opened the trunk of the vehicle for the first time, I noticed there was rust in the spot welds on the left side of the trunk. Front bumper also started to pop out on both sides after driving it the first day and is rubbing and peeling paint from frame of vehicle. Rear windshield was pushed all the way to the left with a large gap to the right. This is a big safety issue. Front fascia misaligned from factory and rust eating away at main frame of vehicle despite there being no scratches or damage to vehicle. Both side skirts misaligned. All doors significantly misaligned from factory. Power steering whines and transmission groans and shifts erratically. Car does not drive straight at speeds 55+ and wanders between lanes. It takes much effort to keep it straight. Trunk lid not aligned properly. Bbb mandated Nissan to repurchase vehicle and brand it as a lemon due to serious safety defects & non-conformities. Nissan failed to fix rear windshield after one attempt and failed to fix other issues after 3 repair attempts. Car has been at dealership for 28+ days. Nissan failed to calculate correct repurchase numbers and Nissan still refuses to fix vehicle. After my protesting, Nissan repaired rear windshield but structurally, the rest of the car remains a safety issue. An investigation should be launched. I request nhsta to inspect the quality and build of this vehicle as it endangers my safety and those of other drivers around me. I am still in possession of this vehicle.
