Electronic Stability Control Problems of Nissan Altima - part 2

The power outlet in the center console had gone bad so my husband changed the fuse and as soon as I started to drive, my car started jumping and would not go over 15mph. The traction control light and check engine light had both come on. I turned the car off for about 30 seconds then cranked it again, the traction control light was off and the car drove fine. Now at random times, usually if the car is left idling, the traction control light will come back on and the same thing happens but if I turn the car off for about 30 seconds then crank it again, the light is off and the car runs fine again. The mass air flow sensor was replaced in 2017 but that is the code we keep getting when it is hooked to a computer. The transmission was also replaced in 2017, no issues with it so far. . . No one seems to know what is going on with my car but it's pretty scary when I'm driving with my 3 kids and the car decides to lose power, jump all over the road and only drive 15mph. This happens at least 3 times a day and since this is my primary way of transportation, I would really like to know what is causing this issue so it can be fixed and I can safely transport my children again.

When I first bought my car the headlights worked fine, now they are so dim you cannot see when driving at night or in the rain. I spoke with a mechanic to see what was going on with the light, and told me that the chrome around the light bulb is not reflecting the light of the bulb and that is why its so dim. He also advised me that this is a common issue that he sees in Nissan Altimas 2012 and above. The cost for replacing the headlights is about 1200 dollars to fix.

Takata recall I've got 80000 miles on my car and the transmission speed sensor went out. So while driving in traffic my car stalled from going and it could've caused a accident or my life the cvt transmission needs checked thanks.

Takara recall - the low-beam headlights in my Altima are dangerously dim, and I was told it had nothing to do with my bulbs. I was told by Nissan it's a wiring issue but online it states "the material inside the projector bowl wear down, burn off, or scuff up, the projector lens doesn't receive as much light to, well project".

Steering wheel vibration it's getting worse every day plus when I turn the wheel to the left it does make a grinding sound.

Takara recall. Sensors are malfunctioning also my muffler is going. Check engine has been on but started blinking when sensor's started acting up. Cant afford to fix this being how I'm a single mother and low income. I herd about this recall on my 05 Altima. And had to check it out.

As my family and I were driving on the highway the vehicle started to drop speed from 70 miles to about 10 miles per hour. As I tried to speed up by accelerating, the speed would not go higher and would just continue to drop. The vehicles behind me were able to see I was having difficulty and would slow down when they got close and go around me, so I am glad no accidents happened since we were driving in heavy traffic in high speed when this started to occur. We drove like this for about 45 minutes since we were driving back home from out of town. At some points it felt as the vehicle was about to turn off while were driving on the highway. It would jerk while driving and speed up on it's own as well at times. When I got off the highway and came to a red light the car said it was going 60 miles per and I was driving about 5 miles per hour. It would not break as I stepped on the break, taking it a while to respond. When the light turned green the car was not moving after I accelerated, and after a while start to move slowly and gain speed very slowly. An error also appeared but I don't remember what it displayed.

Rear control arm on my Nissan Altima 2013 came apart on an interstate pushing me on to the left lane almost at 65 mph. Got really scared as I usually drive with my new born but luckily he was not in the car when this happened. The car has less than 60k miles and I had to replace them on both sides on the rear as they mentioned the other one too is going to break soon. Really disappointed as had to make a huge repair spending 1300 bucks for a car that is only used to run few errands over the weekend as I commute on train for work.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that the check engine and slip warning indicators remained illuminated when the vehicle was parked or when shifting out of drive. Also, while driving highway speeds, the vehicle lost power, the transmission gears failed to change over, and the vehicle shut down. The vehicle was coasted off the road and parked. Balise Nissan of cape cod (322 falmouth rd, hyannis, MA 02601, (508) 815-4010) was contacted and indicated that an unknown manufacturer campaign regarding the reprogramming of the continuously variable transmission (cvt) failed. The dealer recommended that the vehicle be diagnosed to determine if the cvt needed to be replaced. The vehicle was unable to be driven and the manufacturer did not volunteer to have the vehicle towed. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 122,000.

Driving on an uphill street car would not go and I would have to push hard down on gas I had my son in the back seat I then pulled over to set car at park and turned off let it sit for about five mins turned car back on put it on reverse and it went forward I set it pack to park gear and then back to reverse and it complied not the first time now it's just more common and this time it freaked me out it wasn't a little burp as the other times had car for only about 6 going on 7 months and I restricted l myself from driving my own car that I just purchased to then being told transmission failing and 8 recalls.

On 5/23/19 my son was driving this car on the interstate when the car began to decelerate and completely stopped/shutdown on the highway. It's a blessing he was not injured/killed when this happened. The diagnostic check revealed a sensor that the fuel pump needed to be replaced, so after an expensive repair on 5/24/19. Then on 5/25/19 while driving to work, the car began to do the exact same thing again and stopped on the highway. Nissan needs to address the issue with this car ASAP before someone gets seriously injured or killed!!!.

I was driving my vehicle about 25 mph leaving work when I heard a thud/clunk from the passenger side rear of the car. The traction control light came on, I pulled over and looked at the car. I though I had a flat because the car had been handling 'oddly' for about 30 feet. I didn't see a flat, drove the remaining mile home and when I saw the car in the driveway the passenger rear tire was at an angle to the car. It was pointed to the right, while the other tires were aligned straight forward. I called my local Nissan dealership and they told me to not drive the vehicle, as they had one in last week with similar conditions (same year, same model) roughly same mileage. They arranged for a tow truck to pick up the vehicle and drag it onto the bed of the truck. They diagnosed that the right rear control arm had failed, causing the tire to disconnect from the control arm while I was driving. I requested that they check remaining control arm suspension components and they confirmed that the driver's side until was also cracked, but not completely broken through as yet. The Nissan manufacturer rep visited the dealership and stated that the repairs were due to rust, causing both control arms to fail, therefore not covered under warranty in place. The vehicle had fewer than 89,000 miles on it when the components failed, there were no indications of any problems previously, and the car was in the dealership three week's prior due to a transmission replacement. This is my sixth and last Nissan vehicle I have had no prior events like this with my other Nissan vehicles. This part failed without any warning, luckily at low speed in my own neighborhood 1 mile from my home.

Vehicle tries to start but won't. Vehicle is stationary while trying to start. Battery is fine, there's enough gas, it tries to start but won't turn over.

My 2017 Nissan Altima that currently has 35,000 simply lost all power. I couldn't use the fob key to open the door, there were no lights, no radio, nothing. Because it is still under manufacturer warranty, I had it towed to the dealership and left it with them for two days for them to figure out what's wrong. They weren't able to specifically identify what was wrong. The car eventually started once they hooked it up to the diagnostic computer. The lights came on and the car alarm was activated. The mechanics were totally dumbfounded by the events. They couldn't tell me what was the reason for the car losing all power. Two days leading up to the car losing all power, I noticed that while driving at a speed that is with the flow of traffic, if for whatever reason I have to slow or come to a complete stop, the car shutters. It felt as if the car was about lose power and shutdown. I had a similar experience with my 2011 Nissan Altima. It actually shutdown a couple of times in the middle of traffic a couple times. The problem was fixed with a recall that updated some sort of software for that car and after that update I never had the problem again. I gave that car to my parents and they have never experienced it shutting now. The problem that I have been experiencing with the 2017 car is identical to the problem I had with the 2011 Altima. It is flat out dangerous and I am concern it could cost me my life.

The brake light and battery light come on simultaneously the car feel s like it wants to stall. But goes away. Then it ha coming on more and more and as I drive all of a sudden all my rpms speed go from 40 ,60 or at 80 drop to zero . Like the car wants to die but kicks back on. It happens at a traffic light or driving the intermediate brake battery light coming on. Once the car warms up is when I notice it starting. It happens on city streets, but the all rpms and speedometer dropped several times last week 9 times in a 15 mile span as I was on a interstate.

I have a 2013 Nissan Altima and my transmisson has started slipping, I have 100,000 miles on my car and have stayed on top of my mantince. Out of nowhere I get in my car and started driving it and it started jerking, shifting gears slowly and vibrating. I have had transmission flushes during my maintance check-ups. I took it for a diagnostic check and was told it was my sensors going bad. I get that fix to find out I need a transmission and to find out nissian are known for transmission problems. I am very unhappy about this due to how well I have taken care of my car. I contacted Nissan to ask about transmission recalls and was told no.

The front emergency braking (Feb) warning light comes on and off randomly while driving. The warning states, " front radar unavailable due to obstruction". This has occurred while driving on city streets, short and long distance driving, as well as on the highway and while turning. This was especially concerning when it happened while making a turn. The warning went off in the middle of making a turn and it was disorienting as it was completely unexpected. . This warning now goes off randomly on a daily basis and I just bought the car 2 weeks ago.

Shift gear get stuck at parking mode while moving car. This is serious problem at it may occur while moving. We approach Nissan but no help from them. How come Nissan allow to not having recall on this as many owners are feeling this problem. We would appreciate if NHTSA comes in help. We have had this problem going since one month and vehicle is in motion. We are lucky that so far no major incident. I feel that this problem may cause a lot of problem if not fix proper by Nissan. While searching this problem at online, many owners are felling this issue. Also Nissan offering solution to problem at youtube. Com . Here is video from Nissan. . Read more...

The stability controls come on and then they don't go away and the car don't run anymore, it turns on and car is useless. The stability controls turn on and doesn't turn off again, I have to shut off the entire car for more than 3 minutes and when I start it back on it turns off. Not even the switch that say turn off doesn't work. Suddenly it turns on again and same cycle back again and the car just doesn't run.

Car would not brake and hit a pole. The vehicle is supposed to have emergency brakes, but did not work. Often would get a message across my dashboard saying it was unavailable.

Intelligent key warning light is on when starting the vehicle and it won't start or do anything, that is a shame y�all don't have no type of recall for this problem looks like a lot of 2007-2012 have this same issue and y�all are not doing good anything. This issue should be a recall to many vehicles with the same issue. Thanks.

Purchased Nissan Altima s 2018 , the aeb "automatic emergency breaking " does not function at any time, the computer will not establish a code for it not working either. It's either a faulty computer not establishing a code or the the aeb is faulty. Will not attempt to stop for a pedestrian crossing in the cross walks, will not apply more breaking pressure if I'm not applying enough. Have talked dealership in shelby, nc. Have talked to Nissan corporate , both denie that anything is wrong,simply because the computer will not throw a code. The fact of the matter is "it will not operate" code or no code. This is a safety feature I wanted ,reason for picking the car out. Has people age their reflexes get slower on some individuals, and some people take their eyes off the road to make an adjustment to some other features as mirror adj. Cruise controls etc. Will not give me a car that the fearture works on. Exchanged cars on me after I took a test drive that the feature did work . Demanded it be fixed or first payment will not be made ,to come and get it if Nissan will not fix car or replace car.

I have been having problems with vehicle bucking took to Nissan dealer was told 1 ignition coil and spark plugs paid to have them replaced but also had mentioned it smelt like raw eggs to the dealer. A few months later same thing took to dealer said another ignition coil I approved for them to replace the remaining 3 ignition coils so I wouldn't have this problem again and again I told them that it smelt like raw eggs. Now the service engine soon light is on and the code is for the catalytic convertor. Was told that the extended warranty went out in April. I would like some assistance with this. All the issues was when driving at both hwy speeds and city speeds.

The car shut completely down while driving (in motion). There where no indicators lights to warn us of any problems. We started it up again and it died again after a few seconds. We have no idea what causes the car to completely shut down while driving. We were parked and started the car a proceeded to exit the parking lot when it just stopped working. Just completely shut off. Unknown reason for the car shutting down.

Start stop butting is stuck in lock position therefore not starting the car. Fobs door unlock, lock, trunk and panic buttons work but car does not turn on. Car will not turn on when fob is inserted in the left hand side insert either. Happened at 67 east shore road, holbrook MA after car was shut off for the night. Next morning it didn't read the key.

My vehicle stalled as I was going through an intersection. Would not start and I coasted to the side and had to get a tow. Check engine lite was on. No codes found. Car sat for a week and then started right up and drove fine. Check engine light turned off. Car started stalling again only when I put it into drive or reverse, and as long as I put it into neutral and gave it gas, then threw it into drive I would be able to drive it. Still no light on. Car drove semi good for a week or so, seemed to run a little rough but didn't stall out. A few days ago it started to not take gas and rev up on its own. I would start to go and the car would accelerate by itself. When I was on highway, or regular roads. Usually under 50 miles an hour. Tachometer would rev even though car didn't seem to go any faster. Then it just stopped taking gas all together. Now today it just stopped going. I would give it gas and it wouldn't go anywhere. I shut off and turned on and it would go for a little and then stop. Now check engine lite came on and the first code p0776 is for a bulletin that went out and the the other code is for p0965. Pictures are attached. I have been afraid to drive the car, worried that I will get into a crash. I googled the problem and saw that a lot of other people are having the similar problems. The mileage is at 77,000. The majority of the other people I read had around the same mileage. Is this a problem that Nissan should be taking care of?.

I was driving on a highway at about 45 mph, when my car's engine shut down. I panicked and had to coast over a lane to get to the highway shoulder. My car would not restart and I had to call for towing. The mechanic said it was a bad cam shaft sensor. I have replaced this sensor at least 4 times on this vehicle. It clearly is a defect by the maker. Nissan said it was not covered by their recall, yet so many Nissans are still having he same issue.

Takata recall my car keeps dying out of no where. The battery light is on, the oil light is on, the service engine light is on. I went to oreillys and said it was the crankshaft position sensor:.

Airbag warning light indicates faulty electronics. Began about 50,000 miles. This is not due to misuse. It's companion to earlier recall for a faulty airbag, which was corrected. Reported to dealer. Cost estimate to repair from $800 to $5,000 depending the level of defect. Owner believes this should be Nissan's responsibility, as it's not due to negligence.

One takata airbag was recalled and repaired. The second takata airbag has developed the same faulty readout on the dashboard and should be part of the recall. Dealer (rip-off) quoted nearly $5k to repair which is electrical, is not faulty through misuse, and should be Nissan responsibility. Please help this veteran's widow.

Vehicle was being drove down major highway when all of the sudden it loses all power, get off highway on edge put it in park, turn key completely off and try to restart car fails to start check engine light comes on and stays. Get code pulled shows crankshaft position sensor a. Get the crankshaft position sensor replaced and code cleared. Head home with car, does same exact thing that happened while on the highway in town. Have had everything else looked at and no one knows what to do to fix the problem. Car acts as if it's hard to start ever since this happened. Definitely won't be taking it out of town until something is done. Car will sit and crank and crank then eventually decides to start. Starter isn't issue it was previously replaced not even 2 months ago due to it going out.

The car keeps stalling while I drive it.

I can drive the car for several hours then after several hours the car shuts down slows down and then cuts completely off tries to restart the car it completely dies have to get a jump start. Couldn't get a reading on the car no codes would show up it's been doing this for several months now. It's very dangerous to drive not knowing when it will just shut off on me and my daughter.
