I purchased a used 2014 nissan altima with 58,000 miles. it drove great during test driving and on my way home which is 1 hour away from where i live. by day 2 the car began jerking around 60 mi per hr. and under. i made an appointment to have it looked at my local nissan dealership. by day 4 on the way to the dealership the rpm would jump up to 4 and the car made a winding noise. it would advance forward quickly and then stall. all of this while driving on a major highway. i came to a place where i could pull over waited a few minutes and then tried to pull off the car would not go anywhere. i finally had to have it towed to the dealership. nissan has yet to know what the problem is, saying it has an "unspecified code". it's been 3 days. i know there had been a recall on the cvt transmission however i don't see my vehicle vin on the list.
I was traveling around 70mph on a busy interstate when i heard a loud sound, similar to a shotgun blast. i then immediately began to hear glass shattering. it was then that i realized my sunroof was literally shattering into millions of pieces.
Jerks when turning on won't turn on inconsistent battery and check engine light will feel jerky and has jerked forward at stop light when my foot was on brake pedal has jerked in reverse while in drive and vice versa amongst other concerns. very inconsistent with this very unpredictable have already gotten serviced 2 times under warranty and purchased from certified preowned nissan dealership etc docs can be provided upon request
Suddenly 3 of the 4 doors will not open from the inside, causing an unsafe situation that 3 people can not exit the vehicle in the case of a collision or vehicle fire!
The car stalled and shut itself down when stopped at red signal light. car was able to start but kept stalling and shutting itself down as soon as the car was put in drive or reverse or drive sport.
Lach in hood doesn't work and i'm scared it will open while i'm driving and my catalytic converter manifold is not working properly (engine light on)
Randomly the vehicle will not accelerate even after pushing the gas pedal to the floor. eventually it will slowly start to roll and get going again. it has been taken to a mechanic shop several times and no issues have been found. this happens after coming to a stop, and trying to accelerate again. hasn't made a difference whether on flat ground or a hill. the vehicle will go weeks without an issue, and then randomly start/stop again. some weeks it happens multiple times a day. some times it starts to act this way upon start up and other times i could be traveling for a little while, stop at a light, and try to take off and nothing will happen. there have been several times i have tried to accelerate on a right hand turn after stopping and the vehicle won't accelerate. this has lead to us almost getting plowed into. this is a continuous issue with no solution, as to no mechanic has been able to see any issue with the vehicle.
While driving car lights would dim when turning car shut off while driving. no warning ,no codes , no safety lights to use. couldn't move car because steering locked plus no power. would not start towed car to dealer. they can't find the issues. car is unsafe to drive shutting off and no emergency lights to warn other drivers. because all power goes. i tried to pull over but lights continued to dim. if it had been daylight wouldn't have noticed. i'm
Takata recall i purchased this vehicle in october 2018. since the purchase, my low beam headlights have made me run completely off of the road once and almost got hit by another vehicle because of the severely dim; almost non-existent low beams. therefore i have been forced to drive at night using only my high beams because as a single mother of 4, i cannot afford to replace or repair entire assemble. i have replaced the bulbs a couple times and was told by a mechanic at local parts store that the "projector" has obviously gone out and that all altima with that type of lights experience issue. please help me.
About five months ago back in august 2018 my husband was driving my 2014 nissan altima on the highway when out of nowhere it stalled. he explained that it just stalled but would start back up and then when he would shift it into drive, it would stall out again. we then took it to a shop and they could not replicate what it did with my husband. so, they said it might be a software issue and updated it. fast forward this past friday on january 11th, 2019, i was at a red stop sign, when out of nowhere my car stalls. i actually thought someone had hit me because it just jolted to a stop so suddenly it felt as if someone hit my car. same thing happened that occurred with my husband. shut off car, restarts perfectly, then shift to drive and stalls. i get a tow truck to tow it to the local nissan dealership. even the tow truck driver said he's never seen anything like it, and that he drove it off the tow truck no problem. i get a call two days later from nissan saying that it shows up as a transmission issue and that it will cost around $5,000 to replace it. no explanation to why a five-year-old car that has been perfectly maintained would need a new transmission. of course, the warranty is only covered at 60,000 miles so i had no way of coverage. that day i did investigating on websites to find a recall or any information. what i found was describing exactly what occurred with my car and to lots and lots of people with this vehicle! i then contacted nissan consumer affairs and they created a case number for me. i just received a call today from them stating: "nissan will not be able to assist you in any way." this is a manufacturing issue with either the transmission or a software issue that is saying it's a transmission issue. this needs to be investigated further for the safety of the consumers of this vehicle or if people are being wrongfully charged money.
The sun visor on the driver side has malfunctioned. it does not stay in its normal upright position. it hangs about a quarter of the way down and moves around during turns, making it even more of a safety hazard than it already was because in an accident or a hard braking situation, the driver is going to hit their head on it.
Takata recall: the driver side sun visor in my 2014 altima has somehow broken from the inside-out. i would estimate that it began malfunctioning over the last year. it will not stay clipped into place and it seems the clip or some piece inside of the visor affects the ability for the visor to function properly. the visor being broken is a safety concern because it prohibits my view as the driver and the visor swings into my view when turning. when the visor is locked in place, i have to crouch down to see under it. it seems to be a hazard and concern for many other nissan owners. the real issue of safety and the hazard is that the visor wasn't broken due to poor use, it seems to have been defective from its inception.
I was driving my 2014 nissan altima with my 2 year old in the car on the highway when my sunroof shattered, sounding like a gun shot. i had the sunroof replaced shortly after purchasing my car in 2014 for leaks. i haven't had any problems since until today (9/5/18). we were traveling on us 75n near collins road at the time of the incident. i'm not aware of anything that would have caused this random occurrence.
When starting vehicle and attempting to move gear shifter into a different gear from park, gear shifter won't move. after restarting the vehicle multiple times is when it'll work. foot is pressed on brake.
2014 altima with less than 70,000 miles ac malfunction. ac is blowing hot air don't understand how such a new car ac is already bad....
Transmission issues related to cvt transmission. causes car to stall or significantly delay when you press the gas. known issue but nissan will not cover without a 'diagnosis' which is extremely difficult to get as the problem is persistent but intermittent. was told only way to fix the well known problem without a specific diagnosis on my vehicle is if there is an ntsb recall. given the significant risk associated with a car that stalls when you are pulling into traffic or making a left hand turn, i would like the ntsb to be aware of this and determine if the risk to the consumer outweighs the cost to the manufacturer.
I was driving my car with the a/c on and it was cooling fine, once i stopped at a red light the system start blowing hot air. i took it to the dealer which they put .5 of freon in and said the a/c should be fine, but after a few hours the problem recurred.
The double safety feature of pressing the break to start the car becomes void when the caliper has an issue even without the brake light engaging to show an issue. the car is tricked into thinking that the break is being pressed and will allow you to start it with just pressing the start button. my 8yr old was in the car playing while i was cleaning it and was also able to put the car in gear due to the mechanical system reading that the break was engaged. the car also continues to run after the key is removed and you can drive off with no key in the car. i
I was driving my nissan altima home from the dealership on a busy street, similar to a highway and it kept stopping everytime i tried to take off. it would drive and turn off i would have to crank it back up and it would drive a bit and then abruptly turn back off. i took it back that same day and was assured nothing was wrong with it. the next month i was sitting at a red light on my way to work and as i put my foot on the gas when the light turned green it pulled off a bit and just turned off and wouldn't come back on. i later found out it was the transmission. my car has not been able to run since april
Shortly after the first year the car began hesitating and eventually went on to completely cut off while my family and i were traveling. the transmission was replaced under warranty. i didn't have that particular problem for another year after the new transmission. the dealerships would always say they could not supplicate my concern. the problem persisting. i'm afraid to pull out in traffic because it stalls, jerks or hesitates. i won't allow my children to drive it because it is just too dangerous. both my husband and i have paid taken it for diagnosis the past 6 months. i'm taking it yet again tomorrow. i cannot figure out the pattern. it seems to be worse once pausing after a long drive > 50 miles. while traveling this weekend, i paused at the highway off-ramp and it wouldn't accelerate beyond 15 mph. the check engine light came on this time. i pulled over and cut the car off. it did finally go but the rmps still idled highly. there are some days the problem isn't prevalent and the drive seems smooth. that's what makes it so dangerous. i have to wait until there's no traffic before attempting to turn or pull into traffic.
I was driving on a road going appx 35 mph. stopped at a traffic light, and my engine shut off and my car drifted. the brakes wouldnt even work. my radio and lights remained functional. i turned the car off and restarted it and when i put it in drive or reverse, it shut down again. the engine only stayed on in neutral or park.
When trying to start the vehicle it takes 3 or 4 times to turn over and start i know it is not the battery just got a new battery with 60 month warranty.
Took car in for cvt recall on 3/12/2018 , car was fine before the recall update was done, when i pick the car up it vibrates on acceleration and going down hills with a locking motion , the car was driving perfect until they did the recall update , dealer can't explain why this problem happens after recall of cvt, clearly it cause a transmission problem after recall is implemented
The hood latch is defective-hard to close and becomes a hazard if driven-automatically pops up while vehicle is moving
I've had my sunroof replaced back in 2014- 10 months after purchasing my 2014 altima because it was leaking rain water into my vehicle. fast forward to now, it's still leaking water into my vehicle and now i'm seeing reports of spontaneous shattering of the sunroofs. i am concerned about mine shattering with my toddler in the vehicle.
Hood won't stay latched
While coming to a stop, the car shook to a stop , engine revved up and shut off.. i was at a busy stop light intersection. i turned car engine back on and press the gas pedal , then car shut off again. i tried one more time and was able to steer car into parlor. we are afraid to drive car, had it towed to dealership. the mechanic has the vehicle gor 18 days and cannot get it to duplicate our problem. i golfed this problems and there is a nationwide problem with cars that gave this type of transmission. the car could shut down and cause accident and we would not be able to prove that the engine turned off. please help, this is dangerous.
Takana inflators. radio goes on and off when i turn it turns on and stays on for a few seconds then shuts off.
The hood popped open and flew up while driving, damage to the fender on both sides, roof and hood. nissan recalled altimas three times in the past to repair hood latches that can cause hoods to fly open however there is no recall campaign associated with enclosed vin number. damages were handled by insurance company.
Bought a new nissan altima and we have transmission problems with only 74,196 miles.
Car purchased in august 2014 just barely 3 years old the ac compressor went out in the car at the end of july 2017. driving on the the highway no noise the ac started blowing hot air. turned the air off and reached my destination parked the car and turned the air back on started out cool then right back to hot air turned the thermometer down to 60 no change. had to drive back home with the windows down but never heard any strange noises while driving or when parked. took the car to my nissan dealership and based on my description alone the tech said it was the ac compressor and said that they have been having a number of problems with the ac in this model car and quoted me a price of $1300. had another repair tech check and also confirmed the compressor was not working and had to be replaced, this tech outside of nissan said the same thing the nissan tech said about this model vehicle having ac compressor problems. the car is primarily driven to work and home with a few trips within 600 miles round trip.
One day i was driving on the freeway when my car started accelerating on its own, then slowing down a lot. at one point i had to pull over on the side of the freeway bc the car just wouldn't accelerate even with the gas pedal all the way to the floor. we stayed there for a bit waiting for a tow truck. the car decided to work again to we sped out of there and made it home. the next day i contacted nissan and told them the situation and they said there was a recall on the transmission and to take it i. to a dealership to the can so a thing they call cvt reprogramming. so i did the next day. the tow truck came and picked it up, took it to the dealership and supposedly they fixed it. so i went to go pick up the car, and at first it was fine, it was jerking just a little but i figured it was because of the reprogramming, the car was still adjusting. then i got to my first stop light and when the light turned green the car would not go anywhere then is started goi g really really slow and then all of a sudden it accelerated so fast it was scary. i made it about 10 mins out when i decided it needed to go back bc it was definitely not fixed. on the way back i almost got in a terrifying accident and almost didn't even make it. i was at a stop sign waiting to go onto a 2 way street with no other stop sighs. the car was doing just fine so i went for it and in the middle of both streets the car slowed down quite aggressively & there were 2 cars headed taped me on full speed from opposite directions. terrifying. eventually i made t back and the guy helping me was so helpful. gave me a rental and everything. the next day he call and says i need a new transmission and it was going to be $3600. so i contacted consumer affairs to see what they can do bc it's not fair that i have to pay for their mistake. and now they won't contact me back and i have no ode whats going on with my car.
My 2014 nissan altima's headlights have become very dim the past couple years. i am aware that other people are having problems with their nissan headlights as well. this is very dangerous especially at night. i can barely see unless my headlights are on. this problem has also been dangerous in the rain and i've almost gotten in accidents. nissan needs to recall the headlights. i know other people with an altima between 2013-2015 who have gotten in accidents because of the very dim headlights. my husband has a jeep and his headlights are noticeably better. nissan cannot day their vehicle is safe if this is happening. it's simply not true.
The interior door handle of the driver's door abruptly stopped working in the morning while out running errands. i pulled into a parking space and turned off the vehicle then attempted to exit but the door handle would not open the car door. i feared i would be trapped inside the car. i managed to climb over the console and exit through the front passenger door. i have spoken to a service tech at the nissan dealership where i purchased the vehicle and he informed me this has happened to other nissan vehicles as well. he further stated it will cost approximately $1,000 out of my own pocket to repair the handle. this is a product liability issue which clearly presents a serious safety hazard.
Cvt transmission. i was at the intersection of page ave and seven up drive in overland, mo, and my car stopped. i started the car back up and park the car in drive and it rolled backwards. i put the car back in park, put on my hazard lights, and called roadside service. my daughter (7yrs) and i were terrified. cars were a few 100 feet from hitting us. i was constantly waving cars to go around my car. the overland police finally arrived (1 hour later) and pushed my car to a safer location so it could be towed. my car was later towed to the nissan dealer where it was diagnosed. the diagnosis was that my cvt (transmission) needed to be replaced.
You are still list it as "recall incomplete". for hood. when i called i was informed it was fixed by previous owner. so it should be completed. date called around october or november 2016. 9/10/2016? so you need to verify this and make corrections accordingly. i don't see recall for airbags for this vehicle.
I ran low on windshield washer fluid and a light can on notifying me. the next day i noticed that the lane detection system and the car in your blind spot indicator was no working. causing a safety concern. come to find out. when you run low on wiper fluid, it deactivates these safety features. i think this is crazy and dangerous. put in wiper fluid and it corrected the problem. wow!!!
Since i have had my 2014 nissan altima it has faced several major issues such has two transmissions replacements, now the ac compressor, then the car display screen turned completely pink, and other numerous issues that have already been documented in your system. please refer back to my previous complaints that i have submitted, my service records for the dealership, and so forth for documentation purposes. i truly believe that a car with only 7 miles on it when purchased should not have any of theses issues unless it was manufactured poorly. i am so fed up with dealing with the dealership and run arounds from the corporation that i may have to take legal action if this issue is not resolved in a timely manner.
I keep getting a key id incorrect or key id undetectable when i try to start the car. i have replaced the battery in the key fob and the same issues arise. i have to open and close the car door at least 10 times before i can get the car to start. this could be a safety hazard as i might get stranded somewhere if i shut the car off and it doesn't start. i am getting really tired of this issue and hopefully a recall or some type of fix will come from nissan. this issues always happens when the vehicle is in park and you try to start the vehicle.
On approximately june 19, 2015 i started experiencing sluggish take off from a stop position in my car. noticeably after work, on the way home in stop and go traffic after 7-10 miles into my transit (with outside temps in the 90's). didn't happen everyday, only when traffic was really bad (stop and go). i took vehicle into dealership on june 29th to have this checked out; dealership repair drove vehicle for approximately 16-miles and found no hesitation while driving during that time. on july 2nd, on the way home from work the sluggishness turned into a critical, serious 'hesitation' problem. my foot was pressing on gas pedal but car wouldn't move, i was holding up traffic, i pressed harder and harder and then my car lunged forward almost causing an accident on two occasions; this problem continued intermittently all the way home (for the next 5+ miles) - i drove with emergency flashers. called dealership next day i spoke with receptionist asking to speak with service manager, left him voicemail message/call never returned called back couple of times only to get voicemail. made appointment online & took car in on july 7th. car has been in the shop ever since. assistant service manager states they cannot duplicate the problem. i explained i don't feel safe driving this car; especially with two missed car crashes. that was enough for me! something needs to be done about this problem. i don't want this car anymore.
I have only had my car for about 15 months and i bought it brand new. so about a month ago i noticed that there was a jerk when i would push on the gas when coming from a complete stop. one time my car even slightly slid and the tire light came on. i took my car to the dealership once that happened but they said that the only issue they saw was that my wheels were unbalanced. i still experience this issue from time to time and i would like to know why. i bought a brand new car for a reason and that was to not have to deal with car issues for a while.
Purchased 2014 altima s 9-1-14. right away hear whining noise from steering area and under hood. as of april 2015 only have 1200 miles but have not taken to dealer. other problems have been, splashing noise from fuel tank, wind noise coming from passnger side window, very difficult to keep vehicle from wandering on highway from side to side. thought it was just me but reading similar reviews i now know there is a problem with the nissan altima. *tr
I have had many issues while driving on a street, highway, and at a stop. all the issues seems to point to either software or electrical issues. i have complained to the dealership on many occasions. i bought my car with only approx. 7-10 miles on it in jan. 2014. since the beginning, i have had my entire dashboard shut off w/o warning. navigation, radio, camera, etc. completely shuts off, air bags lights turning off and on, the air conditioner intermittingly working whenever it chooses, the cigarette lighters (both) that i use to charge my phone no longer works, and acceleration not accelerating properly (transmission issue?). i have not ever had so many car problems, especially with a new car. when i ask the dealership about recalls, they are only concerned with repair costs they want to collect, in which i understand. however, what i do not understand is looking up the issue online and seeing hundreds of the same complaints. just with the same air conditioner issue alone, on only one site, there were almost 600 customer complaints. i was astounded. i can't believe there are not more recalls with what i have read. besides serious bodily injuries or death, do nissan owners need to get the media involved to get something done. locally, there is a tv station that dedicates a segment to consumer reviews and complaints. it's certainly a consideration at this point.
Radio/navigation reboots while driving down the road. whole system shuts down--no radio. sometimes when i start the car, the radio buttons are dim/grayed out and the radio doesn't play.
From a stop, there was no response when i pressed on the accelerator.then a surge when it did respond. this has happened several times since.the delay seems to be getting longer, sometimes occurring. while driving in traffic. *tr
