There is issue with sunroof drainage tubs causing rain to soak the floor of car. This definitely malfunction or inadequate problem with drainage tubs and sunroof parts with Nissans. I took it to the dealership and car collision repair shop and was told this is high reoccurring issue with Nissan sunroofs, but no recalls have been given, and I have to pay out pocket to get fixed. At 1st was told just get the drains cleaned out and you shouldn't have that problem again. The issue has progressed and now I have paid for drains to get unclogged 2x so far in one year and keep happening every time its alot of rain at one time. My only option I'm told is to keep getting drains cleaned and unclogged pay out of pocket or get another car without sunroof. I have gotten this done 2 years in row, that's getting...

I have complained to Nissan that the dash in the car is literally melting. It started around 2014 when I noticed it was having a sticky texture and because of this it creates a glare in the windshield that makes it hard to see. Over the years it has only gotten worse and the dash is literally crumbling. I read online where they have had this issue before. I have tried to get help locally but I am lost no one will help me. This is a really bad safety issue!

Unknown. My car is making a whining noise & no matter how much i push the gas pedal it won’t accelerate. Sometimes it works but mostly it won’t.

It started about 2 months ago that the RPM was revving when it came to the gears shifting. I would accelerate and the car would barely move and the transmission was making a whirring sound. The Service Engine Soon light came on so I took my car to O Reilys and the code for the stepper motor came back. I had the stepper motor replaced in my transmission but I am having the same issue. My Mechanic told me that my Transmission is failing and I would need a brand new one.

REAR SUB FRAME IS RUSTED OUT AND WILL NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION. YES IT IS AVAILABE FOR INSPECTION. FRAME COULD BREAK AT ANY TIME AND CAUSE A ACCIDENT .

I was on my way to work driving on the freeway and suddenly I felt a sort of shaking from the car. I then exited the freeway and approached a red light. When the light turned green, my car moved some but then was stalled so I was stuck in the middle of an intersection. Luckily, I wasn’t too far from my job and I was able to eventually ease my way the next few miles. I was later told by a mechanic that it was my transmission that needed to be replaced .

Dash is melting- it is causes an extreme shine reflecting on the windshield and extremely sticky. In the sun, full sun or a cloudy day, it causes a large glare in the direct line of sight. It is very unsafe to drive. It spans the entire dash. There is no escaping the glare during the day.

My car is a 2011 Nissan Altima 2.5 s model. In the last couple of years, my dash board has cracks all over it. My research found out that is an issue also with Lexus and Toyota. There has been a number of cases with Nissans and there were 2 separate class action law suite on this issue: https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/closed-settlements/florida-nissan-altima-dashboard-defect-class-action-settlement/ and https://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2021/nissan-melting-dashboard-lawsuit.shtml I called Nissan and spoke with a Lydia who asked me to take my car to a dealer to document the issue and they did. I called back Nissan and was told by a supervisor that they will not be helping me with this. Thus the cause of this complaint.

MY CAR IS HAVING STICKY DASH BOARD AND ITS MELTING. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD AND PRONE TO ACCIDENTS IN A DAY TIME.

MY VEHICLE HAS A VERY SHINY, STICKY AND MELTING DASHBOARD. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 YEARS AND HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY SAID IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY (3 YEARS, 36000 MILES) AND I'M ON MY OWN AND THEY CANNOT HELP ME. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE SHINE PRODUCES A GLARE ALL OVER MY WINDSHIELD AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE DRIVING IN THE SUNLIGHT. PLEASE HELP!!

THE DASHBOARD FOR MY 2011 NISSAN ALTIMA IS EXTREMELY STICKY AND MELTING. IT CREATE A MAJOR GLARE AND COVERS A MAJOR PORTION ON MY WINDSHIELD. THIS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES MY ABILITY TO SEE THE ROAD, PEDESTRIAN OR CYCLISTS. ITS EVEN WORSE WHEN I HAVE TO TAKE TURNS. I STARTED BEGINNING OF LAST YEAR BUT WASN'T SUCH A BIG ISSUE. BUT, IT PROGRESSED WITH TIME AND HAVE BECOME A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME. I AM BIT SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR.

OUR 2011 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS A BLACK DASH BOARD THAT STARTED FEELING STICKY. WE HAVE NOTICED THAT THE DASH BOARD IS MELTING. WE ALSO CONFIRMED THIS WITH A LOCAL MECHANIC. WE HAVE SEEN OLDER MODEL'S HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. IT HAS MELTED TO THE POINT THAT YOU CAN'T TOUCH THE DASH MUCH LESS LAY ANYTHING ON THE DASH BOARD.

I WENT TO GO AND HAVE MY VEHICLE INSPECTED TODAY APPROXIMATELY AT 850 AM.. THE LOCATION KA-PA TIRE &AUTO SERVICE 4011 3RD ST. SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA 94124.. SO ANY WAY AFTER THE SHOP FINISHED WIT MY VEHICLE THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF CODE THAT CASE UP. SO I ASKED THE MECHANIC WHAT'S WAS THE ISSUE HE SAID HE COULDN'T EXPLAIN.. SO HE ADVISED ME TO CONTACT YOU GUYS ABOUT THE SITUATION.. SO I'M LOOKING FOR ADVICE ON HOW DO I GO ABOUT THE RECALL?

DASHBOARD IS MELTING, MY HOOD IS PEELING LIKE CRAZY.... SPOKE TO A BODY SHOP OWNER AND HE STATED THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.... I'M NOTICING CHIPS IN THE PAINT EVERY... POOR JOB ON 2011 ALTIMA'S

ENGINE LIGHT ON CAR SHAKES A LOT OR ENGINE SHAKES SOMETIMES CAR DOESENT START PROBLEM HEPENS STATIONARY IN MOTION ON THE CITY HIGHWAY AND TURNING

THE DASHBOARD TO MY VEHICLE HAS GOTTEN STICKY. ANYTHING THAT TOUCHES IT GETS STUCK TO IT (BUGS, PAPER, ETC.) EVEN THE WINDSHIELD COVER TO PROTECT IT FROM THE SUN GETS STUCK TO IT. IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN DRIVING DUE TO THE GLARE/REFLECTION FROM,THE DASHBOARD. ALSO, PIECES ON THE FRONT OF THE DASHBOARD ARE COMING OFF WHEN I CLEAN IT. I AM ATTACHING PICTURES OF MY VEHICLES DASHBOARD.

CAR SHAKING WHEN PARKED OR STOP A A STOPLIGHT AND RATTLING WHEN DRIVING

TRANSMISSION JERKING WHILE IN MOTION OR IDLE. TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT BESIDES THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE MY MODULE (MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR) REPROGRAMMED AND THAT SHOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. WELL THAT DID NOT WORK AND STILL HAVE ISSUES SO RIGHT NOW I'M DRIVING ON A WING AND A PRAYER

CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IN MOTION

DASH HAS MELTED TO THE POINT WHERE THE GLARE MAKES DRIVING CHALLENGING.

WE MOVED FROM ILLINOIS TO FLORIDA IN 2014, AFTER LIVING IN FLORIDA FOR 2 YEARS THE DASH BOARD IN THE NISSAN BECAME SHINY AND STICKY, LIKE IT IS MELTING. AFTER CONTACTING NISSAN ABOUT THE PROBLEM, THEY MENTIONED THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE DASH BOARD. WE FEEL THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO FOR A RECALL DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE SHINY REFLECTION OF THE MELTED DASHBOARD IS CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD DUE TO THE REFLECTION FROM THE SUN. THIS FEELS LIKE A BIG SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THIS REFLECTION CAUSES LARGE AREAS OF BLIND SPOTS ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. NISSAN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY LIKE MAZDA, TOYOTA, AND LEXUS HAVE AND REPLACE THE DASHBOARD UNDER RECALL.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND CRACKING.

I GOT TWO LIGHTS ONE FOR AIR FROM TIRES AND THE OTHER ONE FOR CHECK ENGINE SOON. I FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THE LIGHTS STILL ON

WHEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 45 MIN OR MORE AND MAYBE A LITTLE HOTTER THAN USUAL, AND YOU ARE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY OR HIGHWAY, THE SPEED WILL LOCK AT 65 OR UNDER, IT WILL NOT LET YOU GO ANY HIGHER, WHEN IT LOCKS IT SLOWS DOWN FAST LIKE IF HITTING THE BREAKS, THIS IS SO DANGEROUS WHEN ON FREEWAY WE HAVE BEEN SO CLOSE TO ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS, WE TRAVEL ON THE CAR, AND IT HAS DONE IT A LOT LATELY, WE KNOW NOTHING OF WHY IT'S THIS WAY.

I REPLACED ALL FOUR ORIGINAL TIRES ON CAR IN 1/2015. VEHICLE HAD 43K MILES ON; TIRES HAD ALWAYS BEEN ROTATED AND PROPERLY INFLATED TO 32 PSI. DURING THE NEXT MONTHS, I NOTICED INCREASING NOISE AS THE CAR ACCELERATED AND DECELERATED. I TRIED TO DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF THE RYTHMIC THUMPING NOISE BUT WAS UNABLE. I HAD TIRES INSPECTED AND NO PROBLEMS COULD BE FOUND WITH APPROXIMATELY 9,000 MILES ON THE TIRES. I NOTICED INCREASING RHYTHMIC NOISE BUT COULD NOT LOCATE WHICH TIRE WAS THE SOURCE. WE HAD A FLAT TIRE FROM A ROOFING NAIL IN THE RR WHICH REQUIRED THE TIRE TO BE REPLACED. REPLACED TIRE WITH ANOTHER GOODYEAR ASSURANCE. WITH THIS NEW TIRE ON THE RR, I WAS ABLE TO LOCATE THE ROAD RUMBLE TO THE RIGHT FRONT, SO I HAD THAT TIRE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER GOODYEAR ASSURANCE. NOISE SEEMED TO GO AWAY. AS MY WIFE IS THE PRINCIPLE...

WAS TOLD MY CAR HAD A RECAL JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER TO GO TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP OR WHERE I PURCHASED CAR TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND I HAVE TROUBLE SEEING THE ROAD AND OTHER CARS.

APPARENTLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY WARRANTY HAS PASSED & DON'T LIVE IN FL (LA & TX ARE JUST AS HOT) & I'M NOT A REPEAT CUSTOMER (EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT MINE ON MY PARENTS RECOMMENDATION WHO OWNED ONE), THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD NISSAN EXPERIMENTED WITH ON 09-12 ALTIMAS THAT IS STICKY, MELTING, DISINTEGRATING, & CAUSING A DANGEROUS SHINY GLARE ON MY GLASS THAT IS CAUSING VISIBILITY PROBLEMS IS NOT SOMETHING NISSAN IS WORRIED ABOUT. I GUESS I'D HAVE TO DIE IN A HORRIBLE CAR CRASH & MY FAMILY SUE BEFORE NISSAN WOULD LIKE TO RECALL THEIR DEFECTIVE CARS. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I'VE DONE TO MY CAR. NOT BECAUSE OF WEAR & TEAR I'VE PUT ON MY VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND WHAT WARRANTIES ARE ALL ABOUT. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE MATERIAL NISSAN USED & WHAT IF ANY FUTURE VEHICLE I PURCHASE FROM NISSAN HAS SOMETHING WRONG & NISSAN CHOOSES NOT...

HELLO, MY CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE STARTING FROM THE ENGINE. TRANSMISSION PROBLEM CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND CAUGHT ON FIRE

1) WHEN ACCELERATING FROM S STOP, MY CAR WILL JERK (LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING). IT WILL OFTEN JERK WHILE MY CAR IS IN MOTION AS WELL. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS & FREEWAYS/HIGHWAYS. 2) THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH THE "HOOD LATCH" NOT LOCKING COMPLETELY. IT SOMETIMES LOOKS LIKE THE HOOD IS GOING TO POP OPEN WHEN DRIVING .

LOCKS/ LATCHES ARE NON RESPONSIVE.

MY DASHBOARD STARTED MELTING!! IN JUST THE PAST MONTH IT HAS TURNED IN TO A SHINY STICKY MESS THAT CANNOT BE CLEANED AND IMPEDES VISION DUE TO THE REFLECTION OFF THE WINDSHIELD. VERY DANGEROUS! I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND AM AWAITING A RESPONSE TO SEE IF THEY WILL HELP RESOLVE THE ISSUE OR NOT.

HELLO,MY QUESTION PERTAINS TO THE NISSAN ALTIMA AND MAXIMA. MAY I PREFACE MY STATEMENTS WITH THE FACT THAT I OWNED A 2005, 2009 AND 2011 NISSAN ALTIMA AND WHILE I TRADED MY LAST ONE IN FOR A DIFFERENT MAKE, I HAD VERY MUCH ENJOYED THE VEHICLE UNTIL I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A DANGEROUS FLAW IN THE ALTIMA AND, I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN, THE MAXIMA.IN MY 2011 ALTIMA, A SERIOUS PANIC STOP, LOCKING UP THE BRAKES, CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO NOT MOVE FOR 3-5 SECONDS. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND I HAD MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP LOOK AT THE VEHICLE EACH TIME AND EACH TIME I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR BUT IT REOCCURRED .AFTER RESPONSES FROM THE DEALERSHIP WENT NOWHERE, I CALLED THE MAIN NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE TRANSMISSION OF BOTH VEHICLES. THE SPECIAL SEAMLESS TRANSMISSION...

I OWN A 2011 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE PROBLEM I'VE BEEN HAVING SINCE I GOT MY CAR IS WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER HITS 35MPH IT PULLS BACK THE RPM DROPS AND LOSES SPEED. ALSO WHEN I AM IN TRAFFIC I STEP ON THE GAS GENTLY AND THE CAR JERKS IT FEELS LIKE A STICK SHIFT CAR WHEN YOUR UP SHIFTTING. IT FEELS SO UNCOMFORTABLE KNOWING MY CAR MOVES IN EXAGGERATED WAY. ANOTHER THING IT HAS IS THE RPM REV HIGH WHEN I GENTLY PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL I HAVE TO LET GO OF THE GAS PEDAL AND PRESS GENTLY AGAIN I HAVE TO REPEAT THAT 2-3 TIMES FOR THE RPM TO BE AT NORMAL IT HAS WASTE GAS BY DOING THIS. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO TWO DEALERSHIP THE FIRST TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NORMAL FOR MY CAR TO DO THAT I WAS NOT SATISFIED ON HOW MY CAR...

KEYLESS START- I LEFT THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEY FOB, THE CAR WAS DRIVEN APPROX. 2 MILES AWAY WITHOUT THE KEY. WHEN THE PERSON DRIVING REALIZED THIS, THEY DIDN'T TURN THE CAR OFF AND CAME BACK. THE CAR NEVER SHUT DOWN, BUT DID START TO SHUTTER A BIT.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WHEN SHE HEARD A NOISE AND SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. SHE PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT THE CAR. A FEW MINUTES LATER THE CAR WAS ON FIRE AND BURNED TO THE GROUND. *JS
