Whining loud sound coming from the transmission compartment when idle and louder when driving.
I tried to release the hood by way of pulling the interior latch, it did not open. i called the dealership they told me to bring it in the next day. i got out of the car and pressed on it (to be sure it was closed) and drove away from the gas station. i was driving 30 miles per hour when the hood let go and hyperextended and flew up in front of me and i was unable to see anything.
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.
I was driving on the highway this morning and stopped at the light to make the left turn (about 5 minutes into my drive). once the light turned green, i stepped on the gas but the car would not move. i had to turn the car off and turn it back on. pushing on the gas, the car would not accelerate to the more than 40 mph. i turned the car around to go home (about 1 mile away) as i didn't feel it was safe to drive and had to stop at a red light to make the right turn. once stopped, the car would not move. it was still on and no warning lights were illuminated on the dashboard. i turned the car off and back on and was able to slowly accelerate, again no more than 40 mph. this was scary and dangerous. this could have caused a serious accident.
I believe my airbags may have spontaneously deployed while driving on a straight at around 45 - 50 mph, shocking and blinding me, causing me to veer off the side of the road and crashing into a ditch, totaling my car. all i remember was one second, i was driving and the next, i couldn't see anything and was braking & screaming, on a wild, bumpy ride, not knowing where to steer because i couldn't see past the airbags and dust/chemicals/smoke.
The ac compressor is failing and causing the 2015 nissan altima air conditioner to not cool properly.

The gear shifter in my automatic car will not release. in order to drive. i must stick an object in the release hole to shift my car into reverse, neutral, or drive. this is a common issue with many nissans.
The dunlop tires which came with the new 2015 nissan altima i bought in january of 2015 were manufactured in 2013. since i bought the car, i was loosing air in all four (4) tires. i complained to the dealer twice and they could not find any problem. so i went and i bought an air pump which i used almost every week to fill in the air i was losing. recently, while i was driving with my grandchildren, one of the tires lost 15 points pressure within one mile on the road. it was a zipline fracture according to the mechanic who replaced the tires for me. i contacted both dunlop and nissan and both kept on throwing the problem on each other. dunlop offered to give me a replacement credit to be used for dunlop/goodyear tires which i do not trust. nissan refused to hear my complaint because they do not warrant tires even though i bought the dunlop tires with the new vehicles. i do not trust either of the two companies because they do not stand behind their product. thank god that we did not sustain any injury or death but the 2013 tires were really defective since i bought the car.
My car started this issue around 84,000 miles. once a month it looses power usually after i'm stopped. i try to take off it sometimes hesitates for a few seconds and takes off slowly a lack of about 75% power. i had a couple close calls in the city. i get out there and then it acts up while i'm trying to pull out in traffic. it's seems to not shift gears also the engine will just scream. i also learned by shutting car off problem goes away like other peoples cars.
My nissan altima cvt transmission is going up again. this is the third time and nissan had my car for almost three weeks and i had to call and see a status and if i didn't i still wouldn't of got a call about it. they told me they did a software update on the control module of the transmission and there is a note in my account that i can bring it up as many times as i need to with no charge to me. are you kidding me red flag, and lets not forget this is the third time they had my vehicle on the same problem and this is a red flag for not knowing how many more times this will happen in the future but it will happen. the cvt transmission is a vehicle with no reliability with it, costs you an arm and leg, and the car is crap. they all need to be recalled. the vehicle makes a whiney nose going down or up hills, the rpm's get stuck in 2nd gear and don't let you go above 20mph unless you take your foot off and then stomp it to the floor to kick it out of gear, and the car tries to overdue your driving to do its own. the transmission is crap and needs to be recalled after all the reviews out there saying the same thing from 2008 to at least 2015 or 2016.
I just called nissan. on june 8 18 i took my car to chandler nissan for pre purchase inspection. they said it had a recall for the transmission, checked it and said everything looked fine. i received a quote on the extended warranty while there. i later called and emailed to extend my warranty but kept getting the run around. fast forward to this weekend, getting on the freeway no acceleration at all. rpm just through the roof. its done that a few times now, since the day i bought it (after inspection) it would lag to accelerate just not totally like it did now. i'm a girl and thought that was normal it just didn't pick up and go and whined a little. todays miles = 61850. called nissan, they will look into it and get back to me... the car had 57468 miles at the time of inspection and was under warranty. the other issue was about a month ago, before i hit 60k the side airbag alert went off. after restarting the car it disappeared. took it to midway nissan and they said could be a faulty sensor or could be a defect in the airbag but its not covered under warranty. they quoted $1400 to fix that. i forgot to tell the nissan rep that when i called but i will do so when they call me back. hoping they will be helpful. i will update as i get more info.

Transmission revving out, slipping and shuddering. vehicle is only 67000 miles.
'takata recall' my engine mounts are broken at only 40,000 miles and was told it's a common issue with the nissan altima i had different type of cars with way more miles and never had that problem and find it strange it happens with the nissan altima with low mileage
Issues with the hood latch not wanting to properly latch and setting off alarm and signal inside the car dash also this vehicle keeps saying that there is no one in the passenger seat when they're indeed is someone in the passenger seat and the airbag will not deploy if in a car crash i don't know why my car wasn't included in this recall that was for both of these issues but it has both of these issues coming through a carmax dealership
Manufacture date 10/14. vehicle was serviced after an oil change with filter. also the cabin air filter was replaced. the engine air filter was not replaced. 1. owner left shop and called about 20 minutes later saying that smoke was coming from under the hood. two technicians went to the scene and front of vehicle was on fire the engine compartment was a total loss and passenger area of the front windshield was also melted away. 2. after researching for this year/ make and model there has been several other cars with mysterious fires. 3. discussed with technician and the only item that was
Headlight low beams are dangerously dim. can barely see the road. when there is a car behind, lights are so dim that a shadow is cast in fromt of the car. attempted new halogen and led bulbs with no success.
Taking car in again 3rd time / sour smell from vents. happens every time i wash car or it rains. very strong, first day smells like wet dog, day 2smells sour.
Transmission failure at 63,000 miles. vehicle stationary at stop light and would not move when gas pedal pressed. no warnings or engine lights were lit. the transmission just fails without warning.
I am having problems with lack of acceleration when in traffic, car will not move when the accelerator is pushed no response other than a turtle crawl. became very random in beginning roughly 2-4 months ago progressing into daily to and from work, initially it seemed to be more frequent when car was hot or at normal operating temperatures and now is still sporadic but happens sometimes within 5 minutes of operation. the next issue is the horn will not sound unless it is hit in a very specific way, i am very concerned about this due to safety issues and the inability to remember how to hit the sweet spot in emergency situations. later today i will be making videos of this default and then taking to dealer for the second time to have repaired or replaced.
I have a service campaign to fix my cvt. also, my car was vandalized and the front emblem was stolen and the bottom case has been loosened.
Water leaking into cabin at firewall - previously noticed that the front passenger floor mat and carpeting was damp on multiple occasions. applying water to the windshield resulted in water dripping down the inside firewall and dripping onto the floor mat and carpeting. currently at dealer being evaluated if this is a failed part or a manufacturing defect. since car cabins are not designed to be in a wet environment, this may lead to electrical problems and mold/mildew growth within the car's interior. have attempted to call nissan consumer affairs dept today 1st attempt received message to call back during normal working hours, although is was, and 2nd time was on hold for over 26 minutes with no answer.
Exploding sunroof. while traveling on the highway the sunroof exploded emitting a loud noise and raining glass shards and splinters into the the vehicle. these shards and glass splinters covered the driver, and vehicle occupants in the passenger seat and in the rear seat of the vehicle. the person sitting in the passenger seat had glass in her eye and hair. the passenger in the rear seat had glass slivers in her hair and all over her clothing. note: the photos show the interior shade closed. at the time of the explosion the interior shade was open allowing the glass to blow into the car interior. new england cable news had a "consumer alert" segment on exploding sunroofs air date april 12th, 2016. in there segment they indicated the nhtsa was investigating kia and other car manufactures for sunroof defects. safety glass "the same material used in auto windshields" should be used in all future sunroof designs. this would prevent glass form entering the vehicle in the event of a failure/defect.
Push button start doesn't work due to faulty steering wheel lock system. car will not start unless i use remote start, open and close door then hit brake.
I purchased my car from cannon nissan in jackson, ms. i took my car to great river nissan in natchez, ms where i live and they told me they won't fix my recalls since i didn't purchase my car from them, so i'm still riding around with the recalls until i can get to jackson, ms which is 2.5 hours away.
While driving in any condition or weather, my car shutters and make a loud vibration noise which is also felt inside the car whenever the rpm reaches 2000 rpm. it only does it on exactly 2000. above or below its fine. ive been to two different nissan dealerships for the past two years of owning it and they tell me its normal. in colder weather its a lot worse. you can play with the rpm and everytime it will vibrate and you can hear and feel it at 2000 rpm. but both dealers say they cant find anything and that they don't notice it. that worries me when a 5 year old asks me what that noise and feeling is but a certified mechanic cant find this problem. its loud and clearly you can feel it. this is ridiculous. all i want is for it to be fixed. if not i'm never buying another nissan product. ive had the worst experience with this brand and ive owned a lot of brands. nissan needs to fix this and spend more money on training. this has been going on for 2 years that ive owned this car.
My wife was driving our nissan altima 2015 in ca when the car without warning stalled in the middle of traffic . she had driven two blocks when this happened.the steering wheel locked and the car was not responding. the battery was apparently working because the radio was still working. she of course could not move out of the lanes.
While pressing gas my rpm goes up and down really fast even when i'm at a steady pace, the vehicle vibrates and jerks while and motion and has shut off twice while driving. the vibration occurs while in motion. once while driving the car wouldn't drive over 20mph then it shut off. often times when i make a complete stop then proceed to go the vehicle does a hard jerk. this has been going on for several months. i've contacted nissan and they have done nothing to assist despite the fact that i notice on different forums lots of people complaining about the exact same issue starting with the 2013 model and 2015. this car is dangerous and can really become deadly for consumers while randomly shutting off while in motion. i purchased my vehicle with 13000 miles and now its at 25000 theirs no reason thousands of others should be complaining about the same issue with the exact model as mine. this issue has been going on for months now.
While driving the vehicle with the ac in the on position, the ac would start to emit a strong chemical toxic odor. the odor is so strong , it stays on your clothing until they are washed. the odor also causing shortness of breath, water eyes, and makes your chest hurt after it has been inhaled for a short period of time. you can also taste the odor in your mouth after you have been out of the vehicle for some time. you could smell the odor outside the vehicle as well due to how strong it is.the strong toxic chemical odor was making my 1 year old daughter cough and sneeze when she was in the car. she would just keep rubbing her eyes. the car was taken in to the dealership in which they had it for over 2 weeks. when i got the car back, they said the odor was normal and would go away. i call nissan consumer affairs and explained the health concerns for my child in haling the odor coming from the ac vents. i received a call back from nissan consumer affairs and they stated the strong odor was due to the plastic in the car and because the car is black in color. the car only has 4,500 miles on it and should not be emitting any toxic chemical odor from the ac vents. inhaling the chemical that is coming from the ac unit can cause serious side effects for my children and that is very concerning. there should not be any plastic that would give off this type of odor in any vehicle. the dealership service manager agreed that the car should not smell the way it does, but nissan consumer affairs claims it is normal and will eventually go away. the issue also causes my front windshield to fog up so bad in the morning you cannot see on coming traffic. the defrost, ac, or having the windows down does not help with the fog issue on the windshield. how can this be normal for a brand new car with 4,500 miles? dealer has had the car for 3 weeks and still cannot find the problem.
Gear shift keeps sliding between reverse and neutral without being touched.
At any given moment while at a stop light or stop sign would step on gas to continue driving when the vehicle does not accelerate; it hesitates to go for a second or two then the vehicle well accelerate. for example if the vehicle suppose takes 2 sec to reach 35 mph the vehicle would take 5 sec to reach 35 mph. this has accord on the streets after making a complete stop. the hazard that i am concern is when trying to make a turn there is a possibility of being hit by another vehicle because of the slow reaction of making my turn.i have talked to the maintenance at nissan and told them the issue but was told that if none of the sensor are going off then the car is fine. however, it is still doing it . i have taken the car back to the dealer two times and they can not find anything wrong. their machines are not detecting anything. i noticed that this is more of an issue after driving for an hour. i am worried about my safety and the safety of others.
When my wife has her hearing aid on the keyless car will not start. when i am picking her up and she gets in the car, the dash flashes a warning and says no key detected. the car remains on but will not restart in an emergency unless she gets out. i am a senior, her hearing aid is modern and conforms to fcc reg. help.
Vehicle gets 28 mph on highway for long distance travel. vehicle is advertise to get 36 on highway. two trips of 9 to 10 hours on highway (non-mountain)shows 28 mph. third trip 4.5 hours shows 28 mph on highway. vehicle gets the same 28 mph city. extremely poor mileage on highway. i have continuously reported this problem to nissan dealership,and was told by service manager the computer had to catch up with the car.
I purchased my 2015 nissan altima brand new from the dealer. in sept 2015 at 25,000 miles, while driving in the middle of the freeway, the car slow down as if i was driving in a low gear. the rpm went up, but the car is moving very slow. i stop the car and called the service department. they told me to stop and park the car then restarted the car after giving it serval mins of cooling down. i took the car the service the next day, they couldn't find anything wrong with the car. i continue to drive the car for another six or so months then the same happened again. i took the car back to the service department, no problem was found again. couple months later, the car stop in the middle of the road. i took the car in, still no problem ws found. they said they can't mimic the problem and asked that i contiue to drive and stop and park if the problem arise. i told the supervisor/manager at the service department that i don't feel safe driving my family around in a car that stop in the middle of the road but can't find anything wrong. i don't know much about the car, but it has to do with transimition because of the check engine light. i felt that the service department is prolonging the real problem because the car is still under the warranity, and i felt that the problem will be discover once it's out of the warrnity coverage. i have two major concerns: 1. i am worry for the safety of my family when i am driving them around the car that can stop anytime in the middle of the road and cause the accident. 2.i am worry, i'll be making a payment for a car that i can't drive once it is no longer be cover under the warranity and it will costs thousand of dollars to get it fix.
Air conditioner making a loud noise seems to be coming from fan on passenger side. sounds like something is stuck in it and clicks faster as fan turns up.
The gas tank had a leak at the top of the tank underneath the vehicle, so i took it to the dealership but they said this would not be covered under the vehicle warranty. the dealership is claiming that it could have been a rock that caused the tiny hole. the hole is located at the top of the gas tank, at an angle, just below the seal with very little space between the gas tank and the frame of the vehicle. there was no other physical damage to the gas tank other than the tiny hole, which shows that i didn't run over or hit anything. the dealership couldn't explain why there was a small hole but no other damage, other than the possibility of it being caused by a rock, but they didn't seem confident in their evaluation. it took them maybe 15 minutes to look at it and say it was user fault. it doesn't make sense because while driving 30-35 mph, shouldn't the gas tank be able to withstand a rock hitting the tank, instead of causing a tiny puncture at the top? also, wouldn't it make more sense if this hole appeared on the bottom of the gas tank instead of the top, because the bottom of the gas tank is more exposed to the elements on the road/streets? this worries me because if such light pressure can cause the fuel tank to puncture, wouldn't this be a safety hazard?
I was driving down the interstate when i noticed a loud noise coming from the passenger side floor. when i pulled over, i lifted the carpet and noticed a hole on the passenger side floorboard. the hole is as big as my foot. just yesterday my wife was seating there and felt the floor soft, but we didn't think much of it. we were so lucky since this a very serious matter that could have resulted in something very very bad. i went over to the driver's side and noticed that the floor is so rusty that i could put my foot right through. i don't feel it is safe to drive this vehicle in its current condition and it's the only vehicle we own.
The vehicle "high centered" at various places on speed humps, some of which required backing up to spare worse affects. early damage is inevitable, and unsafe, and costly. frequently the vehicle scrapes at parking barriers and curbs. in no way can it be driven on a pasture road of ruts and center ridged elevations, both for "high centering" and catching plant life on fire due to dragging the vehicle bottom on the center ridge. the rear camera is more distracting than beneficial, since about five views must be made when moving in reverse, and the camera view, the 6th, is so inconclusive.
This vehicle was leased new on dec, 2, 2014 from a nissan dealer located in washington, pa. the vehicle has had a burning and sulfur odor since day one and the sulfur odor is getting worse. the vehicle is rated for 38 mpg highway and 27 mph city. the vehicle mpg is growing worse and it gets about 24 mpg as i write this. vehicle was taken in for service to determine these issues and i was told no problems found. it was suggested to me to try other fuel stations and to keep in mind gas is now cheap! contacted nissan usa several times where you speak to people who refuse to give out their last name and i was told the selling dealer will not look at the car any further so i ask for nissan to buy it back. as of 2/6/15 i am waiting for a response from nissan usa. i made an appointment with another nissan dealer and they have agreed to investigate my complaints about the sulfur odor and very poor mpg. my wife has a allergy to sulfur and cannot drive this vehicle because she never knows when the sulfur odor will fill the cabin and she then has to pull off the road, open the windows. the last time she was operating the vehicle on an interstate highway (01/31/15) the car begin emitting a very strong sulfur odor and she had to pull off and get out of the car. the selling dealer refuses to provide service or assist in any manner. nissan usa is backing up the dealer. this is how nissan treats an customer who has owned/leased 8 nissan vehicles! *js
i just purchased a 2015 altima sv with the tech package. this include several safety features, but the one i wanted most was the blind spot warning system. i discovered in the first 2 weeks that when it was raining or the roads were wet, the bsw could give false alarms like a car was next to me, when there was no other cars near me. i brought the car to the dealer twice for this and on the second time, i was handed a bulletin that shows the issue. i was told by the dealer to contact nissan customer support for resolution. i just heard back from them on 12/30/14 and their response was that it was working as designed. how can a safety feature that is part of a 1000.00 package be designed to give false alarms when the roads are wet. please investigate and have have nissan resolve this issue before it causes someone to get into an accident. thanks. *js
