Electrical System
09/08/2024
My car has 33,214 miles on it. For no reason the alternator DIED ON IT. There was no warning on the dash of the vehicle. So the computer inside the vehicle did not give a warning that the electrical system for the alternator had died or that the battery had died. There’s no corrosion. There’s no shorts. I checked the fuses myself. This car has two sets of fuses one leads to the battery. The other one is for the infotainment center inside the vehicle. It’s not been tampered with. So there’s an issue with the computer system and how it registers errors to the dash of the vehicle also. That is a software issue. Whenever there is an issue with the engine, the computer system is supposed to register that to take it to get service or whatever. No warning ever came. An alternator is supposed to last 100,000 miles or better on a vehicle. So I’m stranded. I don’t have the tools to change out an alternator. But Nissan wants to collect my data to sell it.

Unknown Or Other
05/27/2024
I took my car into the dealer to ask a question. Upon arriving I tried to open the drivers door after I turned the ignition off to exit the car and the drivers door would not open. The service man tried to open it from the outside with the same results. Finally it opened. It had done this before but I always forgot to tell them when I was at the dealership. The passenger door had done the same thing. The dealership ordered new front door latches for both front doors and replaced them. Yesterday I entered the drivers door to back the car out of my daughter’s garage. I was again unable to get out of the car. The door would only open part way then get stuck. Once outside the car I tried to re-enter the drivers door to leave and I could not get the drivers door open. This is a safety issue. It is scary when you cannot get out of your car.

Vehicle Speed Control
12/14/2023
The contact owned a 2023 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle suddenly began to accelerate and seemed to steer on its own, prompting the contact to attempt to slow the vehicle. With the brake pedal depressed all the way to the floorboard, the vehicle failed to come to a complete stop. As a result, the vehicle left the roadway and came to a complete stop after going into a side ditch and flipping on its side. The air bags did not deploy. An unknown warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard and deemed a total loss by the contact's insurance provider. A police report was filed, and injuries were reported. The contact transported him to his primary care physician, who recommended he seek treatment by a chiropractor. The contact was later treated for pain in his neck and back by a chiropractor. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Visibility/wiper
01/01/2024
I was riding down the highway when all of a sudden I hear loud bang, the rear windshield, completely shutters, spontaneously out of nowhere. This is a huge safety concern as I could have easily caused or been involved in an accident due to what occurred I have looked up on other forms where this has happened to other Nissan owners. This can also be inspected by service center employees as well as document documented by the police. Be careful as there are no warning signs if or when this may occurred to your vehicle
