38 Other Fuel System problem of the 2016 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 03/24/2023

Vehicle will delay acceleration when I have stopped at a stop sign or stop light. When I press the gas pedal it will delay acceleration for a couple of seconds and then final take off. It doesn't happen often and I find that if I turn the engine off and wait a few minutes and start it again, it goes away for several days but does return.

39 Other Fuel System problem of the 2020 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 01/28/2023

I was driving the car at about 70 mph on the expressway and it just randomly DE-accelerated dripping from 70-34 mph and would not allow me to accelerate and then proceeded to shut down stating engine stall I almost got hit from the back when the car DE-accelerated and couldn’t do anything about it after about 10-15 seconds I pressed the gas again and it took off abruptly. I’m scared to drive my car anywhere that I’ll get hit if my car DE-accelerates again. Nissan can’t replicate the issue to come up with a conclusion.

40 Other Fuel System problem of the 2017 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 01/21/2023

When driving my Nissan I had stop at light/ stop sign. My car notify me with a check engine light. It wouldn't accelerate in a matter of seconds I was able to continue driving. I notice it happens every time I have to stop at lights and or stop signs frequently. It first started at about 85,000 miles. I bought it at 65,000 miles I still owe for the car I took it to Nissan and they told me that it no longer had a warranty for the transmission. It has alittle over 100,000 just think that if there's alot of consumers complaining about the same issue it needs to be investigated and stop selling it until the issue is corrected. . In my opinion. .

43 Other Fuel System problem of the 2016 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 10/10/2022

I believe the failure that I'm experiencing is with the vehicle's transmission. The car stalls or refuses to shift gears, has trouble accelerating, and when the car is trying to accelerating the car makes an unfamiliar noise which is quiet loud and noticeable and sometimes shake or full on just pushes forward randomly. I believe the safety for mine and others can be at risk at times because they would be times where the car will not accelerate, even when your foot is pushed all the way on the pedal and as a result the car begins to slow down. This is can be risk depending on where you're driving for an example if you're on the highway or a congested area going at a specified speed. From my understanding after doing research I have found out that several others have been experiencing this same problem, so to my understanding this is a common issue and I'm not sure why it was never addressed. I have taken the car to a mechanic where they said the problem is the cvt transmission. The check engine light is on. This vehicle has not been in an accident.

44 Other Fuel System problem of the 2016 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 10/04/2022

The fuel tank was supposedly punctured and had a fuel leak. This according to the mechanics, never happens and sounds oddly like the recall this vehicle had in 2015/2016. I’ve checked my VIN and says no recalls, but my entire fuel tank needs replacing now.

47 Other Fuel System problem of the 2012 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 08/19/2022

On a road trip car stopped accelerating above 60. Caused us a long time sitting on the side of the road when car cooled we started up and went again. Took it into the shop and replaced the fuel pump. Then one week later on a trip to idaho car is doing the same thing over the milan pass. Acceleration does not work at high speeds even with a new fuel pump. Seems to make an airy fan sound like an air valve is wide open. Think it is a dangerous sensor issue. Ug. Help.

First, I started to notice my car would loose power while driving, over a couple months, it started to stall and/or completely shut off while driving at low speeds or at red lights! when this first stared happening, the car would immediately fire back up when cranked, after about a month of this, I noticed, I could not drive at or above 45mph or it would shut down, or drive for more than 15 minutes and it would shut off…and not start again! it would crank, but not start, I would have to wait 30 minutes or more and then it would start right up! this is dangerous due to the immediate- no- warning shut off, whenever and wherever! I’ve almost caused multi car pile up! not to mention my kids in the back seat and on the interstate! we could have been slammed into, and pushed down the interstate and over into other lanes! there’s a recall on 2002 Nissan Altimas for this very issue!!! somehow, my vehicles VIN # does not qualify! infact…. . My VIN# never ever qualifies for any recall, but yet, my vehicle has the exact same problems!!.

54 Other Fuel System problem of the 2003 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 06/27/2022

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? engine will not start. If I get the engine to start the car may act as if it wants to cut off in traffic. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? engine may stop while in traffic possibly resulting in someone hitting me in traffic. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? no the dealership service department are refusing to service or even inspect my car. At first he lied like there wasn’t a recall. Now because we are in ms he is refusing to provide service because we are not in a cold state. I called Nissan to verify this information prior to speaking with the dealership and Nissan specifically stated that for my VIN there is an open campaign for a fuel pump screen. Then they were the ones who referred me to the nearest dealership which is gray daniels Nissan north in jackson. Ms.

First, the chip has started to malfunction around 13k miles. Secondly, there is a lurch when the car first starts and an aggressive rpm jump and then drop, it begins to run fine upon warming up alittle. Now, at 20k miles the car is having issues with the wipers not spraying the windows well and the rear passenger door has to be locked manually from the interior.

57 Other Fuel System problem of the 2015 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 04/25/2022

At less than 68,000 miles, the timing chain started to fail. There were oil leaks reported over 6,000 miles before but dealer said it was due to the oil change, but we now know it was the valve cover gasket. Losing power due to engine failure would be unsafe given power steering gone etc. . .

59 Other Fuel System problem of the 2016 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 03/02/2022

My 2016 Altima is experiencing a sporadic delay when accelerating from a stop. It won’t rev or do anything for a couple of seconds no matter how far down the pedal is. Then all of a sudden it’ll go. There is no check engine light and no codes. If I turn the car off, it’s like it resets and has more power afterwards.

60 Other Fuel System problem of the 2017 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 01/21/2022

Twice in one day, one hour apart, the xar would not accelerate, then accelrated wildly. First time, pulling onto a road from a stop, it hardly sped up, I put the pedal to the floor, and it did not increase speed as expected, in fact hardly at all. I was trying to merge with oncoming traffic so this would have caused a wreck if there wasn't as much space between me and the oncoming traffic. I kept trying to accelerate, pushing the pedal, letting it out, pushing it again, and it continued to not accelerate as expected. I then pulled off the road to let traffic pass and see if it revved in park, and it sounded fine. After traffic cleared, I tried again, and thia ti. E it functioned normally. I drove about 50 miles, stopped somewhere, and ha no problems. When I left that place, trying to pull onto the road and merge with oncoming traffic, it happened again. I once again tried to push the pedal further to speed up, and at first it would not, but then it suddenly accelerated and I fishtailed in a busy road. Luckily there was not an accident. I let off the pedal and gained control, and it drove normally after that.

61 Other Fuel System problem of the 2015 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 01/13/2022

62 Other Fuel System problem of the 2016 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 12/30/2021

I just purchased this vehicle with 93,000 miles and good condition. A warning or indicator light never comes on but sporadically I will be driving around 40-50mph & if I let off of the gas something happens where no matter how hard or fast I press the accelerator the car looses power. I can press the accelerator all the way to the floor & still not speed up. The car will slowly decrease speed until about 30mph or either I have to take my foot off of the accelerator totally & press hard about 1/4 on the accelerator to regain power. It feels like the pressure behind the accelerator disappears when all of this happens. There is no dimming of lights or anything obvious. It happens when my mom drives also. I have lost power trying to pass a car or turn with oncoming traffic ahead. It scares me.

63 Other Fuel System problem of the 2013 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 12/10/2021

Unknown, but the issue is beneath the passenger seat where it seems a wire has shorted out and even became disconnected and I am unsure but pretty positive that it has something to do with the passenger side airbags because shortly after a diagnostic scan shows several airbag fault codes. Also since then my car’s performance has changed and now I am receiving diagnostic trouble codes for different electrical components such as mas air flow sensor low voltage and its causing my car to stall at random times while driving and even on freeways. It also has caused my car to slow down while fully accelerating on the pedal. Very big safety concern as im driving on the freeway with my family in the car as well.

64 Other Fuel System problem of the 2011 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 11/20/2021

Going down interstate, when you press the gas, vehicle hesitates if you are going faster than 40 miles an hour, motor didn't die but you are unable to go faster for a few seconds, this is very dangerous situation on our interstates. And this is happening on every trip that I am afraid to drive this car, its not trustworthy and I can't afford a new car in today's economy.

65 Other Fuel System problem of the 2017 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 11/01/2021

The car delays to accelerate from a stopped position. While sitting at traffic lights you can press the gas all the way to the floor and the car will not accelerate for a few seconds and then slingshot you forward. After this happens the car will not change gears and revs to 5000 rpms while in the middle of traffic. If you can safely pull off to the side of the road and turn the car off for a few seconds and restart it, the car resumes to function normally. This is extremely dangerous, especially when making left hand turns with children in the car. In my research, this a known problem to Nissan and there has been no recall.

66 Other Fuel System problem of the 2006 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 10/04/2021

Vehicle is experiencing excessive oil consumption. I had to replace rack and pinion steering and vehicle is using excessive amounts of power steering fluid. I purchased both headlight assemblies due to not being able to align properly.

67 Other Fuel System problem of the 2019 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 09/08/2021

My car since 45000 miles has had an acceleration issue. When I engage the gas pedal, 3- 5 seconds pass before the vehicle moves. Once moving, the engine will stutter or slightly jerk forward and backwards, almost to a stalling point. The safety issue is the potential for accident as cars may collide with me from the side or rear not seeing the issue I’m having. Dealership refuses to fix telling me not to bring it in until a check engine light is on. There is electrical malfunctions happening in my car as I near 100k miles still having this issue. In research, many if not all Altima owners are reporting this acceleration issue, there are countless, so much so, the talk is wondering why no recall has been issued. A lawsuit was also filed, judge dismissed, but plaintiffs were taken care of and problems rectified. If I don’t make a complaint, I’m not doing my part to advance this issue to a higher level. Thank you for listening and taking my voice seriously.

68 Other Fuel System problem of the 2014 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 08/09/2021

On my 2014 Nissan Altima, sometimes from a stop when accelerating there is a delay. Rpm's do not go up, just no movement. But if you leave the gas pedal engaged when the motor decides to work it hits hard. The danger is entering traffic. It's very scary. If it was to happen to my wife she would panic and press the accelerator more and that also creates a whole different situation. . . I have read that "Nissan" is not claiming any responsibility for this problem and actually hasn't fixed any customers cars because they cannot recreate this failure! thank you, tom.

69 Other Fuel System problem of the 2014 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 07/12/2021

While driving the car will suddenly jerk and starts to shake and when pressing the gas the car will not accelerate so I have had to turn on emergency lights to not get hit in the back the rpm goes up but not the mph.

70 Other Fuel System problem of the 2015 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 06/26/2021

I was in turning lane and when traffic cleared enough to turn I pushed gas, and nothing happened it was just idle, no rpm, no movement let go of gas pushed again barely moved and then didn’t go anywhere. Oncoming traffic at that point was approaching then it engaged and was fine! it did it two more times as I was sitting at light and once while just driving.
