2015 Nissan Altima UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The hood latch disengaged while driving at a speed of around 35 MPH. There were no injuries reported and the vehicle was brought to Nissan for repair.

None

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

Acceleration isn’t steady. Sometimes at a stop, the car won’t go for a few seconds and when it does, it jolts. When driving, the RPM also seems to go crazy, it doesn’t stay steady like other cars I’ve driven. Someone can inspect the car but I don’t have money to pay, and I can’t travel to a dealership for inspection either. When the acceleration decides to mess up, it’s dangerous especially at stop signs or stop lights that there are blind spots in, I’m terrified of getting hit because of the car failing to accelerate. The car hasn’t been inspected by anyone that I know of. It is a salvage rebuilt vehicle so I’m assuming the dealer that I bought it from checked everything before selling it. There was also no warning message whenever these things happen.

The left and right rear control arms both snapped. The right one has been repaired and the left one is in the mechanic shop to be worked on next week. The right rear control arm snapped while I was driving two months ago. The left rear control arm snapped while I was driving last night. Both times the car was violently shaking and pulling left and right off of the road and into the other lane. The vehicle was only inspected by the mechanics that have worked on it and myself. The warning lamps turned on immediately but not before the arm snapped and the shaking began.

My husband was driving down a flat, smooth, paved road at 30 mph when both control arms on his vehicle broke. The car started "fish tailing" wildly, making the car extremely difficult to control and nearly causing an accident with my child in the car. No one has inspected it except for the dealer (in Jamestown, N.Y.). There were no warning lights or sounds on the dashboard prior to the incident and no indications of any failures after the incident either. My husband heard an odd sound at the exact moment the car started "fish tailing" wildly.

Driver side rear door lock malfunction. Will not lock or unlock with power button or keyless remote system. Manual lock very hard to lock/unlock.

Both driver side and passenger sun visors will no longer stay in the up position. At any time while driving the sun visor falls and blocks the view of the road. The dealer has not confirmed this problem. I know many individuals who own the same make and model that are experiencing the same problems. The only warning was the sun visor was difficult flipping up or down.

I was in the left turning lane and my light was green. I looked before making the turn and I proceeded to turn into 177st on Jamaica. As I made the left turn into the lane the 2009 black Honda Accord was speeding and hit the back end of my car as I was already in the street that I was turning into and he left the scene. I called 911 and told them that the person had left the scene but within 10 minutes he returned and wanted to argue, people who saw came out in my defense and calmed him down, I then asked for documentation as the police suggested that we switch informations and he was hesitant in giving them to me so he called the police himself. When we did exchange information, his insurance and registration are in someone else’s name and they are both expired as of 2020.

When I pull on handle to open my hood, it does not open.

Aloha Sir/ Ma'am, I am very upset that my car has recall and the nissan dealership is not able to resolve the recall issue. I am not being able to use my car for any commercial purpose like turo, uber, lyft due to recall. Please assist me to get rid of this problem. I took my car to Tony Nissan at Wapio Hawaii. They told me that nothing needs to be fixed but they were not able to remove my car from recall list. They told me to contact to the manufacturer. Please help. v/r,

On Sat. 8/7/21 I was driving on a bridge overpass on Roosevelt Ave. in Carteret, NJ at approx. 8:15pm when the HOOD of my 2015 Nissan Ultima suddenly popped wide open, obstructing my view. There was only as tiny gap between the hood and car that I could peak through. I tried not to panic. I slowed down hoping and praying I wouldn't the car in front of me and the cars behind me wouldn't slam into me. The immediate car behind me was able to swerve around me into the other lane and the others were able to stop without hitting me or hitting each other in a domino effect. As cars were whizzing by in the left lane and cars were stuck behind me, I waited for a safe moment and got out to see if I could shut the hood. With effort I managed to shut down the hood, but it wouldn't lock properly. I had no where to pull over so I decided to drive very slowly with emergency lights down the road overpass and then pulled over. I was eventually able to drive slowly and get home without further incident. Several months ago I took my car to the dealer after receiving a recall letter from the manufacturer about this problem. There was only a temporary fix at the time and was told I would receive notification when a permanent fix was available. I was assured the car was safe to drive. I did not receive any further communication from the manufacturer or the dealer. I thought it okay to drive and never imagined this would happen. It was a miracle I didn't crash my car; it would have been a terrible outcome for myself and others. I will be calling them and demand a tow to the dealership for the hood latch repair. The car is absolutely not safe to drive! I just found out on your website that there is now a permanent fix. As of yet I have not been notified! Why is that? This is very negligent and inexcusable! They need to be held accountable! Thank you for your help in this matter.

UKNOWN. There is a metal piece under the vehicle that has broken and now scrapes the ground making the vehicle undriveable as this is a safety hazard for sparks and fire. The problem is persistent. The vehicle has not been inspected yet. No warning lights or messages appeared. I was driving in my neighborhood all of a sudden heard a terrible metal grinding noise coming from under my vehicle. I got out and looked and could see something metal had broke and is now dragging the pavement.

I KEEP GETTING EMAILS FROM CAR FAX REGARDING A SAFETY RECALL: THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCH MAY BECOME STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION DUE TO A POTENTIAL FOR CORROSION (IN REGIONS WITH EXCESSIVE ROAD SALT USE) IN THE HOOD LATCH COMBINED WITH IMPROPER INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE. BUT THE RECALL STATUS IS INCOMPLETE: REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE. IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT FOR MONTHS AND I AM WONDERING IF I SHOULD BE CONCERNED.

Hello, I have a 2015 Nissan Altima. I was driving my son to school on May 28, 2021 when my car began uncontrollably shaking. I had to pull over and stop. I took it to a garage in Pleasantville, PA as there is NOT a Nissan Certified dealership near me. The closest one is 1 hour away in Erie, PA which is where i purchased the vehicle. The garage told me the rear control arm broke. I did some research and the internet is full of information regarding recalls for this SAME EXACT issue in the 2013 and 2014 models. Especially in areas that are highly salted in the winter time, which northwestern PA is. A quick reviewof the 2013 to 2015 Nissan Altima model will show you there is not much difference in the models. The difference is mine is a bit newer and the rear control arm should have NEVER broke. I contacted Nissan via email and they stated that there is no recall and therefore nothing they can do. I persisted and they said they would have a specialist review the case. I spoke with the specialist on the phone and they stated that they MAY be able to reimburse me for the PART but not the labor since I didn't take it to a Nissan Garage. I explained to them that the closest garage is an hour a way and so then on top of that, they would have (or I would have) had to pay a tow bill of over $200 as well. There is NO reason this should have broke and is a HUGE safety concern. My son and I were in danger when this broke, which is why the 2013 models have had a recall on this part. The fact this is a 2015 is irrelevant because it's even newer than a 2013 and STILL BROKE, so there SHOULD be a recall. Luckily i was on a highway going pretty slow compared to an interstate. I most definietly would have crashed my car if i would have been on the interstate or going any faster than i was. Please consider declaring a recall. Thank you for your time.

I WAS DRIVING AND REALIZED MY HOOD WASN'T LOCKED IN PLACE PROPERLY. AS I'M DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE (I-95) THE HOOD WAS SEEMINGLY BLOWING WITH THE WIND GOING UNDER IT. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON I-95 TO LIFT AND FORCE IT TO CLOSE DOWN COMPLETELY.

DRIVING ON STREET AND HOOD FLEW UP BLOCKING ALL VISABILITY. LUCKILY NO TRAFFIC WAS NEARBY AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL ON SHOULDER OF ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO PUT HOOD DOWN AND SECURED IT WITH DUCT TAPE. THE TOP OF THE PANELS ON BOTH SIDES ARE NOW BENT FROM THE HOOD COMING ALL THE WAY UP AND THEY ARE CHIPPING PAINT AS WELL.

ARIZONA EMISSIONS TESTING PROVIDED ME A RECALL ON SECONDARY HOOD LATCH. ON 8/31/20 I CALLED THOROUGHBRED NISSAN TO CORRECT AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID PARTS WILL NOT BE READY, IF READY BY NEXT YEAR.

RECALL NOTICE SENT TO DECEASED OWNER AND NOT THE CURRENT OWNER. NISSAN DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE A WAY TO CHANGE OR ADD CURRENT OWNERS' INFORMATION IN REGARDS TO SAFETY RECALLS.

WHINING LOUD SOUND COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION COMPARTMENT WHEN IDLE AND LOUDER WHEN DRIVING.

MY BACKUP CAMERA SOMETIMES GOES BLACK WHEN IN REVERSE. *TR

TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT INTO D2 FOR NO REASON. OCCURS FREQUENTLY.

ON NOVEMBER 8TH MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA AND THE RPM STARTING GOING UP AND AS SHE WAS PRESSING THE GAS THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING BAD IN MY CAR AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME $4500.00 TO GET FIXED. AFTER TALKING TO SEVERAL PEOPLE I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH A 4 CYLINDER ENGINE. IF THERE IS A RECALL THEN WHY IS MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TRYING TO GET ME TO PAY. I WEN TO THE NHTSA.GOV WEBSITE AND TYPED IN MY VIN NUMBER AND IT SHOWED THAT MY VEHICLE IS RECALLED. DO I TAKE MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB ON THAT DEALERSHIP? I DON'T HAVE $4500.00 TO FIX MY TRANSMISSION ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE IS A RECALL ON IT.
