February 14 early afternoon the car was just acting funny like I didn’t wanna go started jerking I pulled over on I-95 where the car continue to jerk and act funny so I cut the car off. Try to cut it back on and it wouldn’t crank up all the way, so I had to get the car to back to my address where I had a old mechanic come out to inspect with the problem. Engine light came on through some codes telling me it was ignition coils, and other things got those fixed same cold still appeared at the car inspected further, somehow some kind of way engine oil was in the connector to the ECM.

I recently bought a 2019 Nissan Altima SR and when I got it home I noticed the door locks weren't locking or unlocking on 3 doors! The salesman didn't mention any problems with the car and I inspected it and didn't notice this until I got it home. This is a safety issue and everything should work on a vehicle when one buys it. There were no warnings and I have a family with two teen kids and one drives. I've reported this to the dealer and they haven't responded yet. I don't feel safe in the car with this problem and I also saw this is a common complaint on different websites. I can't afford to shell out more money for a repair that should of been done before they sold it to me. There should be an immediate recall that nissan needs to address this.

When putting my vehicle in reverse, I noticed the screen on the back up camera was blank/black color and did not show the angles/guide of which I was parking. I also noticed on my dashboard the clock at some point changed to "am" and said 109am when it was 529pm so I had to manually change the time. I never disconnected the battery for this to have happened. Everything else shows on the screen EXCEPT for the use of the back up camera so it must be a glitch with the software or wiring

Every time I put the breaks on or go over any kind of speed bump, it bounces and sounds like warn out bed springs. Out of nowhere The volume on my radio will turn up extremely loud. Its happened more than a handful of times while driving and it scared me to the point of having to pull over to gather myself. Some days it doesn’t work at all. The past 3 months, My front passenger window gets stuck and won’t go up without me turning the car off then back on and still at times won’t work. I’ve had no choice but to leave the window down more than enough times and putting plastic over it until it decides to work again. The engine shakes and it feels like the transmission is about to give.

On January 5, 2026, my son was driving to work at around 8:30 am EST. While waiting to turn left at a stoplight, his car inadvertently moved forward and collided with an oncoming vehicle. After the collision, he discovered the gas pedal had snapped off, causing the unintended movement. His vehicle was only traveling at 5 MPH or less at the time of impact, so the pedal breakage was not due to the collision. Stranded in the intersection, he was assisted by two individuals who pushed his car to safety. The police arrived, and a report was filed. Our insurance accepted liability for the accident, which was caused by the vehicle's malfunction, not my son's negligence.

NHTSA Online Complaint Vehicle: 2019 Nissan Altima VIN: [XXX] Recall: R25B1 (NHTSA Recall No. 25V-437) Description of the Problem: My vehicle is affected by recall R25B1 (NHTSA Recall No. 25V-437) related to potential bearing failures in the 2.0L VC-Turbo engine. Nissan announced this recall on June 26, 2025, but the status remains “Incomplete – remedy not yet available.” I have contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs and local dealerships several times, but they confirmed that there is no repair or parts available. Due to this unresolved safety recall, my state’s DMV has refused to register my vehicle, meaning I cannot legally operate it. This delay has caused significant hardship and prevents me from using my vehicle, even though the recall involves a critical safety risk (potential engine failure while driving). I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this issue and require Nissan to expedite a remedy for recall R25B1. I need a car urgently to drive to work.

Malfunction indicator light will come on and stay on. I took it to autozone, they gave me a printout, they said it wasn't my battery, that it was a communication circuit problem. (CODE U1000-01) I replaced the battery anyway and it's doing the same thing, I have to jump my car off because it want start. It's very frustrating. I took my car to Nissian after I got the print out, but all they do is wanna charge me ridiculous prices that I don't have.

While driving and listening to the radio, at a comfortable level of 8, the radio will automatically spike to a volume level of 45+ This is very dangerous. Chevy trucks had the same problem and issued some recalls. Will or should Nissen do the same I believe the equipment is Bosch.

My sunroof exploded while driving on the highway. Glass particles throughout the vehicle, except for the driver's front seat area. No glass particles hit my body - it could have caused serios injury - I was not wearing a hat at the time. The 'explosion' startled me, but my attention to the road was not affected, except for a moment. Waiting to have it replaced by Sunroof Express through my Insurance (GEICO). No warnings of any kind were given by my car-system before or during the explosion. To the best of my knowledge nothing struck my vehicle (or the sunroof) prior to its explosion. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. I'm just waiting to get the sunroof repaired. The vehicle or component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others as of today - waiting for the mechanic to do his thing.

The spare tire that is included with the vehicle is the wrong overall diameter and if used on either front or rear, will cause the AWD transfer case to over heat within 1 mile. There is the potential for major damage or destruction of the AWD transfer case. This is an immediate safety concern! Nissan should recall these vehicles immediately and provide a proper sized spare tire that can be driven on to get to a repair facility without vehicle damage or loss of control.

Without warning, both sideview mirrors, plus the blindspot warning system began to not work. Mirror adjustments failed to work on both sides and also the blindspot warning light stopped working when a vehicle would pass. I proceeded to take my vehicle to Regal Nissan, Inc., located at 1090 Holcomb Bridge Road, Roswell, Georgia 30076, 770-998-8686 on December 19, 2023 at approximately 2:00pm, and was told by the Service Advisor, Deandre Gaines that they would not be able to look at it as the day was almost over and he scheduled an appointment for December 20, 2023 at 9:00am. Today, December 20, 2023, I attended my appointment arriving approximately 9:09am and spoke with Deandre Gaines. He told me that they would do a diagnostic check to find out what was causing this. I asked if the diagnostic check would be just for my arm rest where the control was or did he mean for the whole car, and he said no not the whole car only the arm rest, and he never stated the price. I told him that I would wait on the car, and proceeded to their customer waiting room. Once they were done, they tell me that the cost would be $175.88!!! I asked for what??? He tells me that because I have 39,747 miles and it is outside the the 36,000 mile warranty that this is what it cost for a diagnostic. I said, you never said the price!!! I had no idea that it would cost this much just for you to tell me this. He strong-armed me on the price. I then asked to speak to his manager (which I did not get his name) and the manager then said the same thing. I was so frustrated at how I strong-armed on this price. Deandre never stated the price. This is border line exhortation. He took my freedom away as a Georgia consumer by giving the price after the fact and not telling me the price before hand. This would not have been an issue if he had told me the price beforehand, as I would have had the choice to say yes or no. If additional documentation is needed, please let me know.

The shutter in the front of the car is defective. This part not working causes the car to overheat. There are so many issues with this exact same problem on this exact car that there is literally a back order and I cannot get the part so now I can’t use my car. My mechanic place said he’s seen 4 of these cars in the past week with the same problem and can’t get the parts because of back order. If there are this many issues that it’s causing this much of a shortage and it can cause overheating this should be a recall issue.
