2012 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

THE BACK DOORS OF THESE CARS ARE TAKING IN WATER WHEN IT RAINS OR WHEN YOU GO TO CAR WASH.. AS YOU DRIVE YOU COULD HEAR THE WATER SLOSHING IN THE DOORS. YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY OPEN THE DOOR AND USE YOUR HANDS BY PICKING THE RUBBER AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DOORS TO LET THE WATER OUT. THEN IT GUSHES OUT LIKE AN OPEN FAUCET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO EXHIBIT A LOSS OF POWER AND WAS TAKEN FOR FURTHER INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSIS. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT DOESN'T GO ON OR OFF REGARDLESS OF IF SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IN JUNE 2016, THE DEALERSHIP RECALIBRATED THE SYSTEM AND THE ISSUE WENT AWAY. THREE MONTHS LATER, THE LIGHT IS BACK ON AND THE DEALER SAID THE CODE SAYS ITS A PASSENGER SEAR SENSOR ISSUE THAT REQUIRES THE SEAT TO BE REPLACED FOR $850. NISSAN REFUSED TO COVER THIS ISSUE.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2012 CAR ON I-635 IN DALLAS AT 2 PM CST AT AROUND 65 MPH SPEED, I HEARD HUGE EXPLOSION SOUND ON TOP OF MY HEAD. I TURNED ON THE HAZARD LIGHT AND SLOWED DOWN THE CAR AND PULLED OVER TO A SHOULDER AND CHECKED THE CAR. SUNROOF GLASS WAS EXPLODED AND I HAVE SEEN A 4 INCH DIAMETER HOLE AND SCATTER GLASS PIECES; REST OF THE GLASS WAS ALSO BROKEN/CRACKED. THERE WAS NO VEHICLE AT THE TIME THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AND IT WAS NOT DUE TO THE EXTERNAL FORCES, IT WAS DUE TO INTERNAL PRESSURE BETWEEN THE GLASS AND VISOR. I WAS SO SCARED WHEN THE GLASS EXPLODED BUT LUCKILY ESCAPED FROM THE BODILY INJURIES. THE SUNROOF GLASS ON THE NISSAN ALTIMA 2012 IS FOR SURE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND SAVE THE LIVES OF THE DRIVERS. I'M NOT EXPECTING ANY FINANCIAL COMPENSATION FROM NISSAN OR ANYBODY. I DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYBODY PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND SAVE DRIVERS. *TR

ALL THREE PASSENGER DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS ARE FAILING. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, WITH THE ENGINE AND ACCESSORIES OFF. WHEN I ACTIVATE THE LOCK WITH THE BUTTON ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE DRIVER'S DOOR, ONE OR MORE DOORS SOMETIMES FAIL TO LOCK OR UNLOCK. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN IN COLD WEATHER. THE PROBLEM MAY HAPPEN LESS OFTEN WHEN I USE THE REMOTE FOB TO LOCK/UNLOCK THE DOORS. IF THE CAR THINKS IT IS LOCKED, AND I OPEN AN UNLOCKED PASSENGER DOOR, THE ALARM ACTIVATES. THIS MAKES IT VERY INCONVENIENT FOR ME TO MANUALLY CHECK THAT ALL OF MY DOORS ARE LOCKED. IF MY CAR DOES NOT LOCK, MY PERSONAL EFFECTS ARE AT RISK OF THEFT. AS A SAFETY CONCERN, IF MY CAR IS NOT SECURED, I AM AT GREATER RISK OF BEING CAR-JACKED.

I WAS TRAVELING FROM ALABAMA TO ATLANTA GEORGIA ON INTERSTATE I-20. AS I TRAVEL ABOUT A HOUR AND A HALF INTO THE TRIP THE CAR BEGIN TO DECLINE IN SPEED. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 80-85 MPH AND HAD TO MOVE OVER FROM THE LEFT LANE TO GET IN THE RIGHT LANE IN ORDER TO EXIT OFF, IT DECLINE DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH. AS I PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR, IT DID NOTHING. IT WOULDN'T GO PAST 40MPH. IT CONTINUED SO I PULLED THE CAR OFF ON THE NEXT EXIT. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF LETTING THE CAR SET AND I BEGIN TO START THE TRIP BACK THE CAR WAS FINE. SO ON MY WAY BACK TO ALABAMA IT DID IT AGAIN. WHEN I RETURNED BACK FROM THE TRIP THAT SUNDAY I WENT TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER THAT MONDAY MORNING AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. IT WOULD COST ME $5000 FOR A NEW ONE OR $3500 FOR A USED ONE. AS I LOOK AT THESE COMPLAINTS, THIS IS A NISSAN PROBLEM. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR SOMETHING THAT IS GOING ON WITH MY CAR AND AS I SEE OTHERS. NISSAN NEEDS TO PUT A RECALL ON THIS FOR IT IS A PROBLEM!!!

MY 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA DROVE HOME FINE WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR THE NEXT MORNING THE CAR WOULD NOT START. HAD IT TOWED TO NISSAN AFTER LOOKING ON YOU TUBE WHERE THERE WERE MANY COMPLAINTS AND A WAY TO RIG IT. I GOT THERE AND THEY SAID THE CAR BRAIN WAS FRIED. THE EOC THE COMPUTER. THIS CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD AND IT COST $1380 DOLLARS TO FIX! MY 14 YEAR OLD CAR COMPUTER HOLDS BETTER THAN THAT! WHY IS THIS THING NOT A RECALL?

I HAVE HAD THE ISSUES OF LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING MY ALTIMA AT A SPEED OF 60 MPH FOR LONGER THAN AN HOUR I WOULD LOSE ALL POWER . I WOULD BE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MOVING WITH TRAFFIC AT A SPEED OF 75 -80 MPH AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS MY CAR WILL START TO LOSE POWER AND DROP ALL THE WAY TO 40 MPH . NOW I AM TRYING TO GO FROM THE FAST LANE OVER TWO OTHER LANES WHILE LOSING POWER . I AM LUCKY THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN REAR ENDED AT THIS POINT . I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE TO NISSAN SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2012 I HAVE BROUGHT IT INTO NISSAN ON OCT 2013 , MAY 2015 AND JUNE 2016 THAT I HAVE RECEIPTS FOR . IN 2013 AND 2015 I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR THEN IN JUNE 2016 I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION . I RECEIVED A QUOTE OF $2304.72 AND 10 HOURS OF LABOR IN JUNE 2016 NOW AUG 29 2016 I AM BEING TOLD THAT IT WILL BE OVER $3500 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION . THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT DATED NOV 25 2015 FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE I AM HAVING MY TRANSMISSION HAS FINALLY GONE AND I THINK IT IS JUST WRONG THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT NISSAN KNOWS IS BUILT POORLY .THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX IT BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET SERIOUSLY HURT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND THE FAILURE WENT AWAY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO FORWARD WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT WOULD NOT GO PAST 40 MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY. AFTER 20 MINUTES IN TRAFFIC IS WHEN THE CHECK SERVICE ENGINE CAME ON. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED AT A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THE CODE REFLECTED THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO CHECK OUT THE DIAGNOSIS...WILL UPDATE DOCUMENTS LATER.
