general problems of the 2015 Nissan Altima - part 2

Car randomly stalls and stutters. Check engine light appears. Can clear code but the problem always comes back. Happens about once a month, sometimes days in a row.

Recall notice sent to deceased owner and not the current owner. Nissan does not appear to have a way to change or add current owners� information in regards to safety recalls.

Arizona emissions testing provided me a recall on secondary hood latch. On 8/31/20 I called thoroughbred Nissan to correct and the service advisor said parts will not be ready, if ready by next year.

I have been receiving recalls for my car regarding the transmission the extended the warranty, the primary hood latch disengaged which could obscure the drivers vision increasing the risk of a crash.

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.

I was driving and realized my hood wasn't locked in place properly. As I'm driving on the interstate (I-95) the hood was seemingly blowing with the wind going under it. I had to pull over on I-95 to lift and force it to close down completely.

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.

My backup camera sometimes goes black when in reverse.

I have been in 2 accidents and air bag have never exploded. The air bag does not work and I have been to Nissan several times.

Whining loud sound coming from the transmission compartment when idle and louder when driving.

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.

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.

On November 8th my daughter was driving my 2015 Nissan Altima and the rpm starting going up and as she was pressing the gas the car wouldn't move and the check engine light came on. I took the car to the Nissan dealership and they told me the transmission is going bad in my car and that it would cost me $4500. 00 to get fixed. After talking to several people I was informed that there is a recall on the 2015 Nissan Altima with a 4 cylinder engine. If there is a recall then why is my local dealership trying to get me to pay. I wen to the NHTSA. Gov website and typed in my VIN number and it showed that my vehicle is recalled. Do I take my vehicle to another Nissan dealership and file a complaint with the bbb on that dealership? I don't have $4500. 00 to fix my transmission especially when there is a recall on it.

I was driving on the highway this morning and stopped at the light to make the left turn (about 5 minutes into my drive). Once the light turned green, I stepped on the gas but the car would not move. I had to turn the car off and turn it back on. Pushing on the gas, the car would not accelerate to the more than 40 mph. I turned the car around to go home (about 1 mile away) as I didn't feel it was safe to drive and had to stop at a red light to make the right turn. Once stopped, the car would not move. It was still on and no warning lights were illuminated on the dashboard. I turned the car off and back on and was able to slowly accelerate, again no more than 40 mph. This was scary and dangerous. This could have caused a serious accident.

I have two ongoing issues that seems to be a very common issue with Nissan Altima. 1st issue is periodically I have no acceleration on gas pedal. This is very sporadic and only seems to happen when the vehicle is warmed up. Almost had crash on a couple of occasions while going thru intersection. Second problem is periodically the cruise control will not engage. These problems are getting worse. Car only has 80k miles on it. 1st appeared around 50k miles on it.

Transmission will shift into d2 for no reason. Occurs frequently.

Driver side sun visor material has came apart around mirror and the visor will not stay in place when try to push up. It falls back down in the way.

Takata recall while driving car stalls first then turns off completely which could cause major accident on highway it's a push start vehicle car was in motion has happened on city street and while exiting highway.

I just purchased a 2015 Nissan Altima 3. 5 sl sedan. While taking for a test drive after receiving the vehicle, my 12-year-old rolled down the window part way and her door popped open! I had to pull over to close the door. It happened again yesterday while parked in my driveway. I rolled down the window and the door immediately popped open. I could not close the door until I rolled the window back up. I learned of the recall for the window hitting the door release and reported it to my local Nissan service center where I took it as well as to Nissan na. I was given a case number and a representative contacted me today to let me know that my VIN is not included in the recall and that Nissan will not do anything for me, even though this is dangerous! something needs to be done to make manufacturers fix safety issues that come up even if they are not included in a pool of vins targeted in recall campaigns. Nissan knows there is a problem and needs to fix them all, not just choice ones. Especially if there is proof of the malfunction happening.

The interior lights don't work I have a push start and I have to use my key to unlock/lock the doors. The beeper doesn't work and the battery has been replaced several times. My car also drives as if it's in neutral and won't pick up speed. I have to turn the car off and start it back up for it to stop but it will do it constantly. I have took it to the dealership numerous of times and they always tell me they can't find an issue. This has been going on for a year now.

The gear shifter in my automatic car will not release. In order to drive. I must stick an object in the release hole to shift my car into reverse, neutral, or drive. This is a common issue with many Nissans.

Cpsc: I was driving in the rain yesterday when my driver's side windshield wiper fell off of my car into the road. I had to turn my wiper blades off and turn my hazard lights on in order to safely pull into a parking lot. When I got out of the vehicle and checked, I saw that the plastic piece that attaches to the car was still firmly in place, but the rest of the blade appeared to have snapped off.

The dunlop tires which came with the new 2015 Nissan Altima I bought in January of 2015 were manufactured in 2013. Since I bought the car, I was loosing air in all four (4) tires. I complained to the dealer twice and they could not find any problem. So I went and I bought an air pump which I used almost every week to fill in the air I was losing. Recently, while I was driving with my grandchildren, one of the tires lost 15 points pressure within one mile on the road. It was a zipline fracture according to the mechanic who replaced the tires for me. I contacted both dunlop and Nissan and both kept on throwing the problem on each other. Dunlop offered to give me a replacement credit to be used for dunlop/goodyear tires which I do not trust. Nissan refused to hear my complaint because they do not warrant tires even though I bought the dunlop tires with the new vehicles. I do not trust either of the two companies because they do not stand behind their product. Thank god that we did not sustain any injury or death but the 2013 tires were really defective since I bought the car.

My car started this issue around 84,000 miles. Once a month it looses power usually after I'm stopped. I try to take off it sometimes hesitates for a few seconds and takes off slowly a lack of about 75% power. I had a couple close calls in the city. I get out there and then it acts up while I'm trying to pull out in traffic. It's seems to not shift gears also the engine will just scream. I also learned by shutting car off problem goes away like other peoples cars.

My Nissan Altima cvt transmission is going up again. This is the third time and Nissan had my car for almost three weeks and I had to call and see a status and if I didn't I still wouldn't of got a call about it. They told me they did a software update on the control module of the transmission and there is a note in my account that I can bring it up as many times as I need to with no charge to me. Are you kidding me red flag, and lets not forget this is the third time they had my vehicle on the same problem and this is a red flag for not knowing how many more times this will happen in the future but it will happen. The cvt transmission is a vehicle with no reliability with it, costs you an arm and leg, and the car is crap. They all need to be recalled. The vehicle makes a whiney nose going down or up hills, the rpm's get stuck in 2nd gear and don't let you go above 20mph unless you take your foot off and then stomp it to the floor to kick it out of gear, and the car tries to overdue your driving to do its own. The transmission is crap and needs to be recalled after all the reviews out there saying the same thing from 2008 to at least 2015 or 2016.

I just called Nissan. On June 8 18 I took my car to chandler Nissan for pre purchase inspection. They said it had a recall for the transmission, checked it and said everything looked fine. I received a quote on the extended warranty while there. I later called and emailed to extend my warranty but kept getting the run around. Fast forward to this weekend, getting on the freeway no acceleration at all. Rpm just through the roof. Its done that a few times now, since the day I bought it (after inspection) it would lag to accelerate just not totally like it did now. I'm a girl and thought that was normal it just didn't pick up and go and whined a little. Todays miles = 61850. Called Nissan, they will look into it and get back to me. . . The car had 57468 miles at the time of inspection and was under warranty. The other issue was about a month ago, before I hit 60k the side airbag alert went off. After restarting the car it disappeared. Took it to midway Nissan and they said could be a faulty sensor or could be a defect in the airbag but its not covered under warranty. They quoted $1400 to fix that. I forgot to tell the Nissan rep that when I called but I will do so when they call me back. Hoping they will be helpful. I will update as I get more info.

Rollaway accident in parking lot on small incline. $ 4500 in damage. No injuries. Thank god . At softball game. Exited car and did not hear any warning. Walked beside and then behind car and did not notice any movement. About 20 seconds later it crashed into a highboy trailer.

Transmission revving out, slipping and shuddering. Vehicle is only 67000 miles.

�takata recall� my engine mounts are broken at only 40,000 miles and was told it's a common issue with the Nissan Altima I had different type of cars with way more miles and never had that problem and find it strange it happens with the Nissan Altima with low mileage.

I never received my recall so I can get my car fixed. While driving with a passenger in the front seat my air bag light says off not recognizing the passenger which can result in injury. Also the hood latch has a recall that needs fixing.

Issues with the hood latch not wanting to properly latch and setting off alarm and signal inside the car dash also this vehicle keeps saying that there is no one in the passenger seat when they're indeed is someone in the passenger seat and the airbag will not deploy if in a car crash I don't know why my car wasn't included in this recall that was for both of these issues but it has both of these issues coming through a carmax dealership.

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.

Headlight low beams are dangerously dim. Can barely see the road. When there is a car behind, lights are so dim that a shadow is cast in fromt of the car. Attempted new halogen and led bulbs with no success.

Taking car in again 3rd time / sour smell from vents. Happens every time I wash car or it rains. Very strong, first day smells like wet dog, day 2smells sour.

Transmission failure at 63,000 miles. Vehicle stationary at stop light and would not move when gas pedal pressed. No warnings or engine lights were lit. The transmission just fails without warning.
