general problems of the 2015 Nissan Altima - part 2

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.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. While driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle drifted left or right without warning, which made it difficult to keep the vehicle straight. The contact stated that the failure became more severe in windy conditions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The dealer stated that in order to steer the vehicle, their hands needed to be located on the bottom of the steering wheel in order to better steer the vehicle. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 16,500.

Purchased car new. I previously owned a 2014 Nissan Altima with no issues. Power steering on car was very noisy at all times. It sounded like a high-pitched dentist's drill that only gets worse when wheel is turned. Not sure how long electric power steering system will last. After three weeks, dealer agreed to accept car back and swap it for another one. Apparently, there is no fix for this. Degradation in quality and safety is noted on the 2015 Nissan Altima. Will never purchase another Nissan again.

On Jan 22, 2015 , I test drove a beautiful 2015 Nissan Altima, the speed during test drive did not exceed 45mph and the drive was smooth and without incident. I decided to buy the vehicle and trades a Nissan 2012 Altima with low mileage and no mechanical problems. On the way home , on the florida turnpike I noticed a drifting from left to right with no easy transition back to center lane. The wheel was pulling to the left and then would sort of hang up when I tried to return to center lane. Each time it went left, when I tried to return to center lane it would over compensate and drift to the right. This shifting occurred throughout the ride home which is approximately 12 miles of turnpike at a speed of 70mph. I took the vehicle back right away and 2 more times after that, the last time the steering almost caused an accident at 70mph on the turnpike. I contacted the dealership and they again said vehicle is in tolerance and nothing can be done. I contacted consumer affairs for Nissan and they also could not help, since the dealership said the vehicle is in tolerance. Other family members have driven and confirm my fears that the vehicle is not safe.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed that the failure was customary to the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 4. Djr.
