Takata recall- this car is the worst and horribly built. If you sit in the car it looks like a nice car but if you take a peak you will see how horrible it is. Under the steering wheel you can see the wires hanging out. The fuel on the car is done. We always get the car checked and it's always something wrong with the fuel. Which probably has to do with the 2015 recall that we weren't properly notified about. The…

The contact dried off the inside of the vehicle at a nearby fuel station and drove home. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The…

Direction of car "wonders" slightly from side-to-side when driving at highway speeds. Need continuous small steering wheel correction in order to keep car in straight line. Very annoying and stressful to operate car.

First i was pulling out of my driveway and the car just stopped, i started the car back up and it went. I drove about 3 miles and it was like i couldn't steer the car and as i was pressing the brakes the car was like accelerating. I had to repeatedly push on brakes for the car to slow down and stop. I haven't had this car but 6 months and it's a new vehicle

Car was brought brand new. Did not have any problems until one day my husband was driving to the dealership to have the car scheduled maintenance done at 3000miles. While driving, the steering wheel went stiff and hard to control. He managed to drive to the dealership without hurting himself and getting into an accident. The dealership stated that the electric steering pump was the problem and car has to stay for 4…

My car which was purchased less than a month ago, is back at the dealership for the third time. The car continues to have many issues. There is a shimmy/vibration in the steering column as well as vibration in the door, accelerator and floor boards. It often seems that there are problems with the suspension as well as the brakes. The most important issue is that the car continues to drive off the road to the right…

Bought 2015 nissan altima brand new. From day one have had a problem with vehicle. Going above 60 vehicle wants to drift out of lane. Been in contact with nissan corporation, and they are no help. Say that is how the vehicle is. This car is very unsafe. Nissan sent out a specialist for alitmas, and he said it was normal. He said he did something to help the driving, but it did not help at all. Horrible car. Really…

I agree with others about nissan needing to repurchase/compensate for all the issues.this vehicle feels very unsafe and they just push it all off. The power steering makes varying loud,annoying,distracting, whining noises the entire time you drive it. The car hesitates and jerks while driving or trying to drive from a stop which feels very unsafe and makes me worry about being hit. There are so many problems that…

Nissan altima 4d sedan 2.5s felt and looked great at 17 odometer readings. Overtime it has lost power and has made me have a rough time on highway than usual. Going at speeds of 55-75+ all seats feel as if they're going to detach from the bottom compartment. Wheels on this sedan are at recommended psi 35-40 yet going at 55-75 speeds it feels as if i'm riding a horse with different types of measures on each side.…

According to my dealer maf sensor is a known issue with…

The power steering on my 2015 altima is very hard to turn. The mechanic replaced the power steering pump twice and replaced the fluid and the steering wheel is still very hard to turn. The power steering indicator light is now on and i still can't turn the steering wheel. This is a very unsafe condition that nissan should recall and repair. This car has 5200 miles on it and this is totally unacceptable. The car also…
