2012 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

TAKATA RECALL - THE LIGHT ON MY AIR BAGS POPS UP RANDOMLY WHEN I DRIVE IT. THERE COULD BE NOTHING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND IT WILL STILL LIGHT UP. I HAVE ASKED THE SERVICE MEN AT THE NISSAN SERVICE IN WOODBRIDGE, VA TO CHECK THIS PROBLEM WHEN I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICING BUT THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING. THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. I AM A WOMAN AND I DON'T KNOW THESE THINGS UNTIL A "RECALL" IS SENT OUT. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL WIPER BLADES ON MY CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT A FEW YEARS AGO. THE LEFT (DRIVER'S SIDE) WIPER BLADE HAS CAME OFF THE WIPER ARM SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THE OUTER PART OF THE BLADE JUMPS ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD AS IT WIPES. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN WIPERS ARE IN USE.

IN WARM OR HOT WEATHER, 75 DEGREES F OR ABOVE, THE TRANSMISSION GETS HOT AND FAILS TO PULL. IT GOES INTO SOME TYPE OF MODE THAT SEEMS TO TEMPORARILY RESET THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER ALTIMA OWNERS AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. AFTER ABOUT TEN MINUTES OF LETTING THE CAR SIT WITH NOTHING ON. THE CAR WILL CONTINUE FOR A WHILE. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME APPROXIMATELY TEN TIMES. THE TRIPS THAT IT HAPPENS ON ARE OVER 75-80 MILES. PLEASE REPLY WITH A POSSIBLE REMEDY. THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE CVT TRANSMISSION WILL LOSE POWER WHEN DRIVING OVER AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING THE CAR TO DROP SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY OUT OF THE BLUE.

CUT TRANSMISSION SLIPPING CAUSING CAR TO OVER TEN WITH LITTLE TO NO ACCELERATION.

I HAVE 135,000 MILES ON MY 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. AND I STARTED HEARING A WHINING NOISE AND ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK IT OUT ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. THEY SAID THAT'S JUST HOW THE ALTIMA SOUNDS. NOW I AM HAVING TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION THAT'S GOING TO COST ME 4,000.00. I RESEARCHED TRANSMISSION ISSUES ON THE INTERNET AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. GOING UP A HILL THE CAR WOULD WHINE OR WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR STARTED TO JERK UPON PULLING OFF AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UNTIL I LET OFF THE BRAKE THEN TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN.

MY CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. JUST UNDER 7 YEARS OLD AND MY TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN SLIPPING AND RPM 'S WERE HIGH WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

CVT TRANSMISSION ARE NOT , NOT CARS! THERE WAS A RECALL UP TO 2010, BUT THEY CONTINUED TO MAKE THEM WITH CVT! OFTEN WHEN DRIVING MY CAR IT LOSE ALL ACCELERATION! I WENT TO NISSAN AND THERE WAS NO ISSUE ON THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL AND THEY SAID THAT DUE TO THIS BEING THE MAIN JOB OF THE CHT, THEY SAID A COOLING KIT CAN BE INSTALLED, WHICH IT WAS. 2 YEARS LATER, MY CAR AGAIN SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL. MY GEAR SHIFT MOVES SOMETIMES AND OTHER TIMES, JUST NO ACCELERATION THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW OVER 10 TIMES IN 2 DAYS!!!!!! BECAUSE THE ISSUE IS NOT SHOWING ON DIAGNOSTIC, THEY WILL NOT LOOK AT THE CARS TRANSMISSION, TRANS FLUID, OR THE GEAR SHIFT. THEY WOULDN'T DO A THING TO MY CAR! THIS IS FORCING ME TO DRIVE WITH UNSAFE CONDITIONS! I AM TAKING INTO A REAL AND HONEST MECHANIC!! NISSAN KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE AND THAT MANY DRIVERS ARE DRIVING DANGEROUSLY, AS THEY REFUSE TO DO THE RIGHT THING!!! THERE IS NO DIPSTICK TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID OR ELSE I WOULD DO IT MYSELF. DO THE RIGHT THING AND SAVE MANY PEOPLE FROM GETTING INTO ACCIDENTS AND POTENTIALLY LOSING THEIR LIVES!!! COMING OFF AN OFF RAMP, NO ACCELERATION; DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY NO ACCELERATION, PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AFTER WARMING MY CAR UP NON ACCELERATION. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND ILLEGAL!!!!! THIS ISSUE BEGAN 2-3 YEARS AGO, WAS TEMPORARILY FIXED WIT THE COOLING KIT THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR OUT OF POCKET, AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY FOR THE LAST 5 DAYS!!!! GOOGLE THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND NISSAN OFFERING NO HELP NOR EVEN A SIMPLE MECHANIC ONCE OVER LOOK!!!! I AM A SOCIAL WORKER WHO WORKS WITH CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE, OFTEN TRANPORTING THEM FROM UNSAFE CONDITIONS TO SITUATIONS THAT I AM PROMISING ARE MORE SAFE AND COMFORTABLE! I CAN NO LONGER PROMISE THEM THIS IF MY CAR IS UNSAFE!! I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN A MINIMUM OF 5 ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE! DEALERSHIP NO HELP!!

MY TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 112,000MILES IN SEPT 2017. NOW TODAY I FIND OUT THAT I MAY POTENTIALLY HAVE TRANSMISSION ISSUES AGAIN, DATE BEING (3/14/2018). CODES ARE : BCM; TRANSMISSIONS FAULT 4; IPDM E/R FAULT 3. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, I WILL BE TAKING IT INTO FORT WORTH NISSAN ON SATURDAY 3/17/2018 TO DETERMINE IF IT IS FAILING AGAIN, IT BEING ONLY 9,000 MILES LATER.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY DOING SPEED 70 TO 80MPH, VEHICLE BEGINS TO REDUCE SPEED AND GOES INTO LIKE A SAFE MODE. VERY UNSAFE ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. WHILE SEARCHING ON GOOGLE FIND OUT CVT TRANSMISSION VECHILE ONLY HAS 81823 MILES ON IT. NISSAN NEEDS TO COVER THE WARRANTY TO FIX THE VECHILE.
