2019 Nissan Altima Electrical System

Vehicle door locks stopped working with key fob and with interior controls. Radio volume control on unit doesn’t work only the steering wheel control. Radio will randomly change station by itself. Radio will randomly turn on when car is off. Car will not start and has to be jumped for no apparent reason. Battery has had to been replaced twice in the last 4 years. Dealership has not been able to replicate any of the issues other than the door locks that where repaired under an extended warranty that we purchased. There has to be some kind of electrical issue with these cars as I have seen many other reports of same issues from other people

I own a 2019 Nissan Altima S, and recently, all three door locks except for the front passenger door stopped responding to the key fob and the button on the door. From my research, it seems that the most common cause of this issue is a faulty door lock actuator. Many users on Reddit and other forums have reported that the door lock actuators in 2019 Nissan Altimas or new models 2020, 2021 and 2022 can fail, resulting in doors that won’t lock or unlock either with the key fob or even manually. This problem can affect one or multiple doors at a time and is often attributed to a defective actuator. I spoke with a Nissan customer who refused to repair my vehicle and advised me to contact the NHTSA. They will investigate, and if approved, Nissan will repair the issue at no charge. I would like to report this issue for a potential recall and seek assistance with repairs, which are estimated to cost around $1,000

door lock actuators are failing, i cannot unlock or lock any door except for driver with key or buttons on the door.

In August 2024, while driving at around 35 mph, several unknown warning lights illuminated. The background was red and had white writing. The only word I got to see was "Master" something. It flashed so quickly I couldn't read it. The car lost speed like it was about to stall simultaneously. A week later I had to jump start the engine. I had my battery checked and it was good. I had to get another jump start on October 8, 2024. I bought the car new in April 2019. I've replaced the battery twice. I shouldn't have to replace the battery that often. I have kept the maintenance up as required.

while driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights were inadvertently illuminated.

I just bought a used 2019 Nissan Altima from a Dealership. Very shortly after buying, two of the actuators went out not allowing me to lock or unlock the passenger or back/driver's side doors. I am on a military base and have to park my car in parking lots everywhere I go. This is unsafe for me to have my vehicle stolen, anything left in my car stolen. I brought it to the dealership I bought it from, and they won't touch it. By reading other reviews this is a common problem for this vehicle. It should be addressed Unknown if this has been inspected, as I just purchased it used. No warning lights have come on to warn me of this issue.

Front and Rear LH door locks do not work with buttons or key fob. Poses a safety risk entering or exiting the vehicle.

I bought my 2019 Nissan Altima Platinum brand new. Since then I have had to replace all of the door lock actuators a minimum of 2 times, I say 2 times because only one has been replaced twice. All of the others have been replaced at least 3 times and the driver and driver side passenger side are ready for the 4th replacement. This presents a safety as well as security issue.

Backup camera is malfunctioning there is already a recall on the platinum series Altima but not the SL line. This has been been going on for about a month on the backup camera

The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Altima. The contact stated while driving approximately 50 MPH, the vehicle stalled, and the power brakes and power steering were inoperable. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact pulled over and called roadside assistance for a jumpstart. The contact stated that the failure of the electric power had become a recurring failure. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

My key does not unlock or lock my passenger or rear doors. So far it only unlocks the driver door. I have to get in and unlock the doors manually. The key fab works but the door sensors do not respond. I looked it up and this has been a common problem reported for the 2019 Nissan Altima along with other electrical problems. I’ve had to replace the battery twice. This is a 2019 vehicle which I purchased in 2020. Had to replace the battery in 2021 and in 2023. The most pressing issue right now is the door locks. This is an expensive repair. There should be a recall issued so that Nissan can repair the door sensors. The contact continue to have problems with electrical components on this vehicle. All four door locking systems have been replaced, but now the contact cannot open the trunk with the key or manually from inside of the car. Also, the battery has had to be replaced three times.

Since I purchased this car during warranty 2 of the door locks quit working and was replaced under warranty but since the warranty has ran out the other 2 door locks quit working. So if I lock my door it will not unlock so I have to crawl in a door that will lock. The other option is not lock my doors so everything can be stolen out of my car or I could be robbed since they could open my door at any parking lot or redlight.

All Door Lock Actuators. This is available for inspection. The safety of myself and passengers is at risk due to not being able to unlock and lock my vehicle at any given time. This is a security risk for any occupants in the event of needing to quickly lock doors or unlock in the event of an emergency. This also puts my vehicle at risk of theft and being stolen. The door actuators will not activate from the remote key or the unlock/lock buttons inside the vehicle. Yes, I had Jim Johnson Nissan (Bowling Green, KY) look at the problem and they confirmed and quoted me for this. No, it has not been inspected by the manufacturer. There was no warning to the problem. The first door actuator failed at around 50,000 miles (2021) and progressed to all door actuators failing. This problem is reoccurring in this model of the Nissan Altima

My back doors do not lock with the FOB. I have to manually unlock and lock my rear doors. My driver side door is starting to not work as well. This is a major safety issue that Nissan seems to not care about. My car only has 35,000 miles on it.

The front passenger door and both rear doors will not lock/unlock with the key fob or the button in the car. The doors when locked by hand will randomly unlock while the car is driving

The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that the vehicle intermittently failed to start. Additionally, the battery drained quickly, causing the windows and doors to fail to open. The contact had to recharge the battery every day to prevent the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact related the failure to a faulty electrical system. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 21,000.

The Radio and HVAC systems failed; Going down MN I-35 West south bound at 70mph the radio abruptly changed stations and went to full blast. It continued to randomly change between stations at full blast. I was unable to adjust the volume via the steering wheel controls or radio controls. I was also unable to shutoff the radio. the changes were sudden, shocking, and they caused me to hit the breaks and jerk into another lane. The issue continues randomly and happens on freeways, highways, city streets and at stoplights. there is no common trend to when it happens or what the vehicle is doing at the time. controls become unresponsive to address it until the vehicle is shutoff. The vehicle has been brought in several times to Walzer Nissan Group in MN that have reviewed video footage of the radio doing this. they have validated the issue and are unable to repair it.

The right passenger side doors won’t lock, you have to manually unlock and locked front passenger and back passenger door

Passenger and Rear Doors do not unlock with the electronic locks or manually, has happened multiple times.

DRIVER SIDE FOR LOCK ACTUATOR BROKE. PREVIOUS YEAR NISSANS HAS THIS EXACT SAME RECALL A COUPLE YEARS AGO. CAR ONLY HAS 44,000 MILES ON IT, THE ACTUATORS SHOULD NOT BE GOING ALREADY.
