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 [redacted] to the dealership the rpm would jump up to 4 and the car made a winding noise. It would advance forward quickly and…

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.

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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.

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…

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…

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…

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…

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

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.
