general problems of the 2019 Nissan Altima - part 1

When putting my vehicle in reverse, I noticed the screen on the back up camera was blank/black color and did not show the angles/guide of which I was parking. I also noticed on my dashboard the clock at some point changed to "am" and said 109am when it was 529pm so I had to manually change the time. I never disconnected the battery for this to have happened. Everything else shows on the screen except for the use of the back up camera so it must be a glitch with the software or wiring.

Every time I put the breaks on or go over any kind of speed bump, it bounces and sounds like warn out bed springs. Out of nowhere the volume on my radio will turn up extremely loud. Its happened more than a handful of times while driving and it scared me to the point of having to pull over to gather myself. Some days it doesn’t work at all. The past 3 months, my front passenger window gets stuck and won’t go up without me turning the car off then back on and still at times won’t work. I’ve had no choice but to leave the window down more than enough times and putting plastic over it until it decides to work again. The engine shakes and it feels like the transmission is about to give.

On January 5, 2026, my son was driving to work at around 8:30 am est. While waiting to turn left at a stoplight, his car inadvertently moved forward and collided with an oncoming vehicle. After the collision, he discovered the gas pedal had snapped off, causing the unintended movement. His vehicle was only traveling at 5 mph or less at the time of impact, so the pedal breakage was not due to the collision. Stranded in the intersection, he was assisted by two individuals who pushed his car to safety. The police arrived, and a report was filed. Our insurance accepted liability for the accident, which was caused by the vehicle's malfunction, not my son's negligence.

Nhtsa online complaint vehicle: 2019 Nissan Altima VIN: [xxx] recall: r25b1 (NHTSA recall no. 25v-437) description of the problem: my vehicle is affected by recall r25b1 (NHTSA recall no. 25v-437) related to potential bearing failures in the 2. 0l vc-turbo engine. Nissan announced this recall on June 26, 2025, but the status remains “incomplete – remedy not yet available. ” I have contacted Nissan consumer affairs and local dealerships several times, but they confirmed that there is no repair or parts available. Due to this unresolved safety recall, my state’s dmv has refused to register my vehicle, meaning I cannot legally operate it. This delay has caused significant hardship and prevents me from using my vehicle, even though the recall involves a critical safety risk (potential engine failure while driving). I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this issue and require Nissan to expedite a remedy for recall r25b1. I need a car urgently to drive to work. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

My radio unit was replaced almost 2 years ago. Its doing the same exact thing saying no signal but my warrant ran out in 2024. I see that some vehicles same make ans model as mine have been recalled for the same thing but mine has not? safety is not a factor for this part.

Having problems with the engine overheating and the cooling system also.

Malfunction indicator light will come on and stay on. I took it to autozone, they gave me a printout, they said it wasn't my battery, that it was a communication circuit problem. (code u1000-01) I replaced the battery anyway and it's doing the same thing, I have to jump my car off because it want start. It's very frustrating. I took my car to nissian after I got the print out, but all they do is wanna charge me ridiculous prices that I don't have.

The engine makes a noise, and it like loses power when going up a hill. It also does like a hault while driving.

There car chugs and stops . I have had this checked multiple times sensors changed and no solution . Check engine light initiated and car stops - very dangerous issue while I'm on highway.

While driving and listening to the radio, at a comfortable level of 8, the radio will automatically spike to a volume level of 45+ this is very dangerous. Chevy trucks had the same problem and issued some recalls. Will or should nissen do the same I believe the equipment is bosch.

The infotainment will not work; nor will the usb plug-in operate. Driver unable to operate any devices in vehicle, including any plugs to utilize directions or music. The volume control on infotainment will not work; but the buttons on steering wheel will. Dealership advised filing a complaint.

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to report a misrepresentation incident by Nissan USA concerning their warranty policy. I own a 2019 Nissan Altima with 51,000 miles. On June 8, the check engine light appeared, and upon inspection, we discovered it was due to a malfunctioning active grill shutter. According to the campaign bulletin issued by Nissan on November 14, 2023, this item is covered under warranty and can be replaced at any approved dealership. However, upon contacting both the dealership and Nissan USA headquarters, I was informed that the warranty had expired and I would need to pay for the parts and services. Despite being in contact with Nissan's consumer department for the past three days, I have received conflicting information each time. Today, a representative explicitly stated that the bulletin holds no value and I must pay for the part and service charges. This is a clear case of misrepresentation and fraud by Nissan and their consumer department. If unaddressed, Nissan will continue to deceive their customers with false commitments. My case number with Nissan 50500280. I have also attached the campaign bulletin for your reference. Muhammad hafeez 703-479-1212.

I saw the recall about the backup camera malfunction however my car isn’t listed for the recall but for the last few months my backup camera has been saying malfunction and doesn’t beep. I’m trying to see if I could receive the recall to get this fixed.

My sunroof exploded while driving on the highway. Glass particles throughout the vehicle, except for the driver's front seat area. No glass particles hit my body - it could have caused serios injury - I was not wearing a hat at the time. The 'explosion' startled me, but my attention to the road was not affected, except for a moment. Waiting to have it replaced by sunroof express through my insurance (geico). No warnings of any kind were given by my car-system before or during the explosion. To the best of my knowledge nothing struck my vehicle (or the sunroof) prior to its explosion. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. I'm just waiting to get the sunroof repaired. The vehicle or component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others as of today - waiting for the mechanic to do his thing.

The spare tire that is included with the vehicle is the wrong overall diameter and if used on either front or rear, will cause the awd transfer case to over heat within 1 mile. There is the potential for major damage or destruction of the awd transfer case. This is an immediate safety concern! Nissan should recall these vehicles immediately and provide a proper sized spare tire that can be driven on to get to a repair facility without vehicle damage or loss of control.

Without warning, both sideview mirrors, plus the blindspot warning system began to not work. Mirror adjustments failed to work on both sides and also the blindspot warning light stopped working when a vehicle would pass. I proceeded to take my vehicle to regal Nissan, inc. , located at 1090 holcomb bridge road, roswell, georgia 30076, 770-998-8686 on December 19, 2023 at approximately 2:00pm, and was told by the service advisor, deandre gaines that they would not be able to look at it as the day was almost over and he scheduled an appointment for December 20, 2023 at 9:00am. Today, December 20, 2023, I attended my appointment arriving approximately 9:09am and spoke with deandre gaines. He told me that they would do a diagnostic check to find out what was causing this. I asked if the diagnostic check would be just for my arm rest where the control was or did he mean for the whole car, and he said no not the whole car only the arm rest, and he never stated the price. I told him that I would wait on the car, and proceeded to their customer waiting room. Once they were done, they tell me that the cost would be $175. 88!!! I asked for what??? he tells me that because I have 39,747 miles and it is outside the the 36,000 mile warranty that this is what it cost for a diagnostic. I said, you never said the price!!! I had no idea that it would cost this much just for you to tell me this. He strong-armed me on the price. I then asked to speak to his manager (which I did not get his name) and the manager then said the same thing. I was so frustrated at how I strong-armed on this price. Deandre never stated the price. This is border line exhortation. He took my freedom away as a georgia consumer by giving the price after the fact and not telling me the price before hand. This would not have been an issue if he had told me the price beforehand, as I would have had the choice to say yes or no. If additional documentation is needed, please let me know. The download is not working.

Desconocidos.

Backup camera doesn’t work properly, when I switch to r, 1 side of the screen are dark.

The shutter in the front of the car is defective. This part not working causes the car to overheat. There are so many issues with this exact same problem on this exact car that there is literally a back order and I cannot get the part so now I can’t use my car. My mechanic place said he’s seen 4 of these cars in the past week with the same problem and can’t get the parts because of back order. If there are this many issues that it’s causing this much of a shortage and it can cause overheating this should be a recall issue.

My car keeps showing the malfunction notification on my dashboard on and off on several occasions. I've brought my vehicle to the Nissan dealership. They are saying they cannot fix the issue if the error message is not showing at the time of service.

Moonroof shattered (exploded) for unknown reason. Temperature outside was roughly 79 degrees fahrenheit. No object struct glass.

Hello, please see all attached documents and call me for further details and assistance prior to investigation. I appreciate your time and assistance. Thank you.

My car rear doors have both stopped locking with my keypad and door control. I have to use my hands and lock it. My car is now showing a active grille shutter error code. I have been in contact with quite a few other people with the same model and the same problems have seen to be reoccurring.

The Nissan infotainment system crashes when connected to apple carplay when you receive a call from microsoft teams, or attempt to make a call from microsoft teams. It sends the infotainment system into a recurring reboot cycle that can only be stopped by the call ending. This has been an ongoing issue for almost 2 year and through 2 different software versions, 0810 and now 0912. This is a significant safety hazard as many individuals travel via car for their jobs and many companies heavily utilize microsoft teams for meetings, especially as a result of the pandemic. Having the ability to operate handsfree is essential not only from a safety standpoint, but from a legal standpoint. During research, this is not a minor problem, and I believe has been ignored due to the pandemic and the belief that less people are driving and traveling and utilizing microsoft teams via apple carplay. Nissan needs to address this issue immediately to resolve what is causing the infotainment system to crash when making and receiving calls via microsoft teams, so the safety of it's consumers is no longer put at risk. The date noted below is the last time it has occurred, but as noted, has been going on for almost 2 years.

My vehicle radio is having issues with the volume knob that is crazy, when moving the volume up the volume goes down or up or to maximum, basically it is not working as expected, I found a voluntary recall about it with reference ntb19-077 campaign id #: r1911 NHTSA #: 19v-654 , however Nissan dealer in katy states this is a software update that fix the known issue but that I need to pay 450usd for the update, I find it completely abusive as it is known issue for this model that requires a simple software update that should be done in my opinion free of charge.

There is no incident. I am writing about the safety hazards of the oncoming blue bright lights coming from the oncoming cars/trucks SUV's etc. I own a sedan and on a highway these blue lights ( in all new vehicles) blind you. The trucks and SUV's are having so bright light that it is difficult to drive. The adaptive lights are no good on a dark two lane road, specially on a road with snow. This is more dangerous on an incline where the vehicles are coming at fast on a two lane dark road. In my opinion the blue lights should be banned and instead the yellow lights should be made compulsory for all vehicles.

The check engine light came on and I took it to Nissan dealer. My car is at 39,000 mileage. On the previous Nissan Altima (2016) I had, the same thing happened while I was driving from minnesota to louisville. We almost crashed at chicago due to some engine issue. When I arrived to louisville, ky, I stopped by Nissan dealership and ask them what happen and they told me it will take up to two weeks to fix but recommended to get a new vehicle. I had no choice but to change to a new 2019 Nissan. Now the same thing is happening to this new Nissan Altima and Nissan is not willing to fix the issue without charge. This is very frustrating. I been having issue with the door not unlocking with a remote and they fixed it once and now I have the same issue they are willing to fix again. But my main concern is not the door but the engine light they refuse to fix. Please help.

Was reported in a head on collision with an f150 on 3/22/21.

The radio turns volume up and down on its own and changes the radio station. When turning the volume up and up with the knob, the volume erratically increases.

I am filing this complaint to let you know that Nissans windshields are very brittle. I went to smush a bug and it shattered it. This has been an ongoing problem in our 6th gen Nissan Altima group and we want it to get fixed. This is a safety concern, and not only to mention how expensive the windshields are.

When I try to start my car, the steering wheel and break pedal are locked. When I press the brake and push the start button nothing happens. The battery is charged and there is no corrosion on the cables.

Forward collision warning system not working . Provably the front grill sensor (bosh) is bad. Car is under warranty. But dealer don't want fix it.

1st. I would like to report defective windshields, I've replaced it once and the one I replaced got a crack now also. I don't speed I don't tailgate I drive proper and my insurance records my driving. My car has less that 33k and I've owned it for 4 years. 2nd. I would to report crappy transmission, the car struggles to accelerate in times you need it most.

Driving under an overpass and car started beeping and braking as I was going to hit someone in front of me and no car was in front of me.

I just received a notice by going to consumer reports that vehicle was recalled? never received anything. Also, car is newly leased and has an oil change sticker that says: change oil by 5/29/19 ? what , this dealer here has also been reported for consumer protection act here in melbourne FL. Nissan of melbourne. I am ignored when I call, or asked to leave by the general manager that is really obnoxious.
