The hood flew open upon entering the freeway. Could not see anymore going 60 mph. Had to pull over and bend the fenders back to close the hood. Afraid this will happen again. The latch was recalled before this happened and the dealer sprayed it and said it was safe to drive which it was not. They said Nissan would not cover any repairs that are now needed to the hood and fenders.

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.

When I push the start button my car sometimes won't start and it won't go in drive. There has not been any warning lamps, messages or symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. It started about 2 weeks ago, it doesn't always happen, but it's happening more frequently now. I had an emergency yesterday and I couldn't get my car started. After waiting about 10 minutes I was able to get it started, but I was afraid if I turned the car off it wouldn't start again. The problem has not been inspected by the dealership or confirmed by an independent service center. I'm interested in seeing if there has been a recall for this problem.

Mass airflow sensor and traction control light coming on . Second Nissan vehicle to do this.

I just purchased this vehicle and the backup camera quality is horrible and doesn’t provide any safety or accident prevention. The year of this vehicle wasn’t recalled for the backup cameras, but needs to be!! it’s useless. I don’t know what could be wrong with it, but it’s distorted and unclear.

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

My vehicle would not start on 03/20/2025. Vehicle connect assessed the vehicle stating that it is the hardware. The dealer has it now after the vehicle was towed. Not good. I am very concerned and unhappy.

The tire rod assembly disconnected and caused a near miss accident. The steering was no longer intact. The car had to be towed and repaired to the nearest auto repair shop.

I am original owner. Twice now in the early morning I have found my trunk automatically opened with out reason. I thought maybe I did it by mistake but I clearly did not after 2nd time. Never has this happened in my life to any of my cars. After looking online I found other owners also experienced same occurrence with this 2015 Altima. I understand it could be anything, bad battery in hand clicker, faulty electrical switch, etc. I located the on/off switch in the glove compartment and turned it off. Now, I just have to remember to turn it on/off all the time so I don't find the trunk opened again. I could get my car stolen if I leave my car out side and go out of town. 1) if there is a recall to get this electrical fixed, please let me known. Thank you.

The backseat driver seatbelt does not click locked. The driver seat squeaks and moves. The driver door locks while trying to open.

I was driving with my child in the car and the volume on the radio spiked to an extremely high level. This has happened multiple times and the volume control knob is defective so I cannot turn down the volume or the radio off. I brought the vehicle into the Nissan dealer and they diagnosed an internal failure to the a/v control unit and recommended replacing this. When the volume spikes to full blast, I cannot turn the radio off. They are charging $2000 to have this repaired even though it's a safety hazard and I am distracted while driving to keep trying to turn the volume off or the radio off. The controls do not work and they independently turn the volume on full blast.

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.

Vehicle battery stops working not starting until a jump is given. We had the battery tested at advance auto they told us nothing was wrong with the battery. January 24,2025.

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.

Myn hood latch is not operating properly. If hood is completely closed it is very hard to reopen with the latch. Apparently there was a recall but I did not receive any notice.

Transmission.

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.

Yesterday, halfway through the freeway, I stopped speeding up and the troubleshooting lights turned on at the cvt at lus from check engine, I was able to step aside and the transmission box stopped working and I had to request towing service to the dealership and today they called me to tell me they need to replace the transmission.

Rear camera malfunctions after trunk is opened, screen goes purple, pixilated, or jumpy.

The left rear arm snapped completely and is now dangling along with the spring link and other parts connected to it. The car is not drivable and I have to have a on-site mechanic come out to fix it. I had been driving the car on the highway the day it happened and luckily made it back to my house, then about 20 minutes later I had to go back out but when I put the car into reverse and started backing down the driveway a loud snap followed by scraping metal occurred. Now the car is stationary on the curb. The right rear arm's condition is also bad, showing signs of snapping in the near future as well. My mechanic along with research I've conducted has informed me that this is an extremely common problem with Nissan sedans that happen frequently. I had insurance on this exact part of the car but it unfortunately expired may of this year. I filed a claim with Nissan directly and they proved to serve no help. If the rear arm had snapped just a little bit earlier in the day when I was on the highway it would have most likely resulted in major accident that would have left me injured.

Door lock actuator will not function properly, causing my car to “lock” with my keys inside the vehicle. This is available for inspection upon request. This is a safety hazard because my drivers side, and both back doors do not lock properly and can be accidentally opened when driving. Mount airy Nissan has been notified of this problem and have inspected my vehicle, and agrees there’s an issue. There were no warnings or notifications displayed prior to them going out. I bought the vehicle in October of 2024 unknowing the back drivers side door lock actuator was already broken. After going into a store, and accidentally locking my keys inside the vehicle, I realized there was a problem with the lock since I was able to open the back driver side door without needing to press the unlock button on my key fob. After this realization, my back passenger side and driver side door lock actuator broke.

My husband was pulling in a parking spot and heard a pop like noise and went out to inspect the car and saw the rear tire was falling off the car. We are told it was the lower suspension link.

Rear view camera visibility is not clear and brightness at night makes it difficult to see at night. I made appointment with Nissan dealer to check camera. Dealer agreed that camera was not clear and much to bright at night. Dealer said they checked with other altimms that had same troubles with camera. Dealer said there is nothing they can do. Dealer said maybe wait for a manufactures download to correct problem. Well it's been nine months and no downloads or call from dealer. This is definitely a safety hazzard.

Unknown.

Around 12:30 pm sysco driver #138249 illegally parked on the san diego California street blocking off traffic. I made a note of the drivers identification because of the awkward closeness to my vehicle. I went to an appointment about an hour away and upon my return I immediately noticed tension and pulling with my suspension that was not there before. I contact sysco corporate office to report the incident and they said they will take care of it and to make a police report. I call immediately and am put on hold for nearly 90 minutes then am disconnected. I go to make an in person report and the police department is closed on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I notify the department of transportation and the California attorney general of my situation and how my car is not working like before. This should be investigated.

The sound of the horn is so low/faint that it can be barely be heard which can ultimately lead to a “major” accident. I implore you to issue a recall in order for the manufacturer to replace the inferior horns.

My car shuts off going down the road happens randomly it happened in July of 2024 and in November 2024 no warning lights came on it just shuts off I have not had my car looked at yet but I do plan on taking it to a dealer.
