2017 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

Passenger Air Bag light is on and is available for inspection. Concern: Safety of Passenger if air bag will not deploy. A Nissan dealership twice turned it off but the light keeps returning. Originally Nissan said the sensor was unplugged. The second time they didn't comment but the light was off when car was returned to me. I was happily not charged on either visit. The light first came on in January 2021 and I had less than 28,000 miles on the car and my car has never been in an accident. Please note there was a recall for a faulty air bag sensor on 2016 Nissan Altimas. My Altima was on the assembly line in 2016 but is a 2017 model. I requested help from Nissan's home office but was directed to your website. Since my car was on the assembly line in 2016, why isn't it included in the recall? Nissan will not honor the recall for my car.

From a stop the car is delayed when trying to drive for 5 secs then takes off like a slingshot. I see a lot people have been complaining about this issue with no resolve. Last Nissan I will ever purchase.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Altima. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where the warning light was reset; however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where the diagnostic codes were cleared, and the vehicle was test driven; however, the failure persisted. A Nissan warranty inspector recommended the replacement of the front driver's side air bag module, the driver's air bag and the air bag sensor. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under the warranty unless the driver's side air bag module completely failed. The failure mileage was approximately 29,000.

Headlights are dim. I am aware that there is a settlement in place where Nissan extended the warranty to 6 years. My car is in this warranty period. The headlights are dim and getting worse, I have taken it to the Nissan dealership and they test them and note that there is not a problem, but it is difficult to drive at night and it is a safety issue.

After stopping at red light, Vehicle could not go more than 10mph. Stop the vehicle, turn off and restarted, now Vehicle could not go further or reverse. Luckly, at the intersection, i did not get into accident. My Altima is at 65000 miles. Nissan Altima CVT had an issue and need to recall for this fix. I saw Nissan did recall up to 2016 Altima, some reason, they did not include 2017 Altima. Please take a look into 2017 Altima data from Repair and Dealers shop to find out how much consumers are paying out and got into safety issue.

235/45r18 there is a malfunction on this car the tire pressure keeps going out and blowing my tire also the car was giving to me with ran down tires which I was told was dangerous the company imperial auto mall switched the tires and said they was good but the car blew completely out while driving with my kids I alerted the company they did nothing to fix I reported the problem to different companies so they can fix but I was brushed off every time

In mid December LF airbag light went on. Dealer found no issues cleared the code and problem recurred in 2 weeks. Dealer states airbag has to be replaced and if problem recurs then the module needs replacement. Repair for replacement airbag is 2625 and module according to the dealer would also be 2500 estimate. Wrote to Nissan since it appears this problem is fairly new and widespread some remediation should be offered

The driver side airbag warning light appeared on dashboard approx 2 months ago. I took it to Piazza Nissan for service, where a 27 point vehicle inspection was performed. I was told the airbag needed to be replaced, as well as the LF seat back assembly. The parts would cost just over $2000.00, and with labor would be just over $3000.00. I was also told there is a national backorder for the parts, and the dealer would call me when they are available. The airbag does not work on the front driver’s side of the car anymore. My car has never been in an accident, the airbags were never deployed, and I have regularly had all of the maintenance checks done at Nissan dealers. I do not understand what would cause this problem except for faulty parts.

I was driving on the highway and lost all my speed it dropped from 70 to 30 on the highway had to pull over and shut my car down. I restarted it, and my RPMs went up but were not moving. After this happen I have been in almost 15 accidents. The stops and then happens again. I hear like a winding noise when I try to keep a safe distance from people on the highway. Now all of a sudden my car is shaking and feels like my tires are going to fall off they are not through. No lights came on before this happend.

After coming to a complete stop at a red light or stop sign, there is a delay of acceleration. It takes 3-4 seconds to even respond to me depressing the gas pedal, with no change in RPMs or response in the first 3-4 seconds. Then, the car accelerates very quickly like a sling-shot. This is dangerous particularly in stop-and-go traffic. I have videos of the issue. The dealership stated that they cannot replicate the problem in their shop so it can’t be fixed. This might cause an accident and this seems to be happening to multiple other Altima drivers but there is no recall. This has been occurring for over six months and three trips to the mechanic/dealership with no resolve.
