2013 NISSAN ALTIMA Structurebody Problems

My 2013 Nissan Altima SV is subject to NHTSA safety recall 16V-244 for a defective hood latch that can corrode, bind, or fail. I brought my vehicle to a Nissan dealership to have the recall performed. The dealership refused to complete the recall repair and attempted to charge me, stating they could not access the hood because the hood release cable is broken. The hood release cable failed as a result of the defective hood latch binding, which is the subject of the recall. Because the recall defect prevents normal hood operation, the dealer claims the recall cannot be performed unless I pay for repairs. Nissan Consumer Affairs and a regional specialist are relying solely on the dealership’s statement and have declined to authorize recall-related repair, effectively leaving the safety recall unremedied. This is a safety recall, and I believe Nissan is failing to provide the required no-cost remedy and...

The hood flew open upon entering the freeway. Could not see anymore going 60 mph. Had to pull over and bend the fenders back to close the hood. Afraid this will happen again. The latch was recalled before this happened and the dealer sprayed it and said it was safe to drive which it was not. They said nissan would not cover any repairs that are now needed to the hood and fenders.

While driving on a highway at 65 mph, the hood of the car completely opened. When attempting to close it, The latch that holds the hood wouldn't hold it at all. There were no warning lights, when I called the dealership they said that because there were no recalls on it currently, they couldn't do anything. The hood completely blinded us and dented the roof and sides of our car.

The paint bubbles and chips off. Bad paint job on this vehicle.

I have contacted 2 dealerships about fixing the recall and nobody will call me back to schedule to fix. All they say is they will talk to the shop manager, and I never hear back. Now the hood is constantly stuck or not opening.

Hello, I took my Nissan Altima into my local Nissan dealer for a hood latch recall on 11/13/2023. On 11/21/2023 at about 6:40 pm I was driving my car at a speed of maybe 45-50mph and my hood flew open hitting my windshield causing damage to my car, and scaring my son and I. I called the dealer the next morning and spoke to Anthony from the service department regarding this situation, and he stated a faulty latch could have been put on my car, causing this to happen. I sent pictures to him via email, and he advised that he would contact the director and call me back with an update. I received a callback within hours advising Nissan would cover the damages but I would need to contact consumer affairs to see which location could do the repairs as they were behind by 8 month at that location...

While driving on a highway at approximately 65 mph the car seemed to lose traction and the slip indicator light appeared. Once able to safely look at the vehicle it was noticed the rear wheels were not aligned and the lower rear control arm had snapped.

My power steering somehow had a slow leak which caused steering wheel to lock on while driving. Also, when I turn it sounds like a clucking sound like something is wrong with my power train. When I drive my accelerator seems like it be taking its time to catch up to speed. I've done did so much mechanical work to this car and it seems like nothing is working.

While driving at 35mph on a city road the car hood flew up open & smashed into the windshield despite their supposed fix of hood latch spring being replaced & assembly lubricated by the Nissan dealership in Aug 2021 due to a Nissan hood latch recall (NHTSA recall 16V-029) in response to a class action lawsuit. At highway speeds, this would have seriously compromised human lives. In this case, neither the primary hood latch lever or fuel door release lever had been pulled open by the driver just prior to the incident; yet the hood flew open without warning. (Hoods have primary latches located inside the vehicles, then secondary latches located under the hoods. Primary hood latches in the cars are located too close to the fuel door latches that might cause drivers to accidentally unlatch the hoods instead of the fuel doors. Then once the primary hood latch is...

I received a recall notice in the mail today for a defective hood latch. I called Bill Robertson Nissan in Pasco, Wa to set up an appointment to get the latch replaced. I was told that they are out of the parts that are needed to fix the problem.

On Sunday August 29th 2021 my hood came up while I was driving and broke the front window glass and damaged both sides of the side hood due to the latch not being secured and lose and not being applied the right way.

my 2013 Nissan Altima 4 door sedan hood is flapping on my car. If I go a certain speed limit the windshield will come up and hit my front window. Very unsafe and very dangerous for me and my 1 year old daughter. Thanks.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE HOOD FLEW UP AND BUSTED THE WINDSHELD.

SHIFT GEAR GET STUCK AT PARKING MODE WHILE MOVING CAR. THIS IS SERIOUS PROBLEM AT IT MAY OCCUR WHILE MOVING. WE APPROACH NISSAN BUT NO HELP FROM THEM. HOW COME NISSAN ALLOW TO NOT HAVING RECALL ON THIS AS MANY OWNERS ARE FEELING THIS PROBLEM. WE WOULD APPRECIATE IF NHTSA COMES IN HELP. WE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM GOING SINCE ONE MONTH AND VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WE ARE LUCKY THAT SO FAR NO MAJOR INCIDENT. I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM MAY CAUSE A LOT OF PROBLEM IF NOT FIX PROPER BY NISSAN. WHILE SEARCHING THIS PROBLEM AT ONLINE, MANY OWNERS ARE FELLING THIS ISSUE. ALSO NISSAN OFFERING SOLUTION TO PROBLEM AT YOUTUBE.COM . HERE IS VIDEO FROM NISSAN. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=TQ4UNTC8SAW SURPRISED THAT THEY HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY ACTION EVEN KNOWING THIS.

THE LATCH WILL NOT RELEASE ON THE TRUNK. THE FOB OR THE BUTTON RELEASE IS NOT WORKING!

THREE MAJOR ISSUES HAS BEEN OCCURING WITH MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 SL 1. BRAKE LIGHT COMES UP RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AT LOCAL OR HIGHWAY SPEED. 2. HOOD POP UP WHILE DRIVING - ISSUE WITH LATCH 3. TRANSMISSION IS MAKING GRINDING NOISE.

2013 NISSAN ALTIMA MOONROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 75MPH. THERE WAS A LOUD POP AND AIR WAS HEARD ON ROOF. SAW FLYING DEBRIS FROM REARVIEW MIRROR WHILE TRYING TO PULL OVER TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. PULLED OVER AND REALIZED LARGE CHUNKS OF THE TEMPERED GLASS WAS GONE. THERE WERE MINOR SCRATCHES ON THE TRUNK PAINT FROM THE DEBRIS HITTING IT AS IT FLEW OFF. THERE WAS VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC AROUND AND NO OVERPASSES. TEMPERATURES WEREN'T EXTREME AS IT WAS A MILDLY WARM FALL DAY (MID 60'S) AND ROADS WERE DRY. THE GLASS IS STICKING OUT ABOVE THE ROOF WHICH INDICATES THAT IT WAS AN EXPLOSION RATHER THAN SOMETHING CRASHING DOWN ON THE MOONROOF.

MY 2013 ALTIMA STARTED TO HESITATE AND JERK WHEN I WAS DRIVING. THEN WHEN I WOULD BE STOPPED AND READY TO PULL OUT MY CAR WILL NOT GO AND THEN FINALLY CATCH AND GO. IT WONT GO OVER 30 MILES AN HR AT SOME POINTS. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO NISSAN THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT AND ITS THE CVT TRANSMISSION THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD MY WARRANTY EXPIRED 2000 MILES AGO AND ITS GONNA COST ME $3500 FOR A NEW ONE. IVE ONLY OWNED MY CAR FOR 2 YRS. I AM SO DISSATISFIED WITH NISSAN AND THEY ARE SO UNPROFESSIONAL TO NOT FIX THIS KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THERE CVT ISSUES ON ALL THEIR VEHICLES.. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES ON BOTH DOORS..

TL* THE CONTACT LEASED A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT RUST AND CORROSION CAUSED THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL TO FRACTURE FROM THE FRAME.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT INCIDENT DATE IS BEFORE PURCHASE DATE. *JB

THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAVE BOTH BROKEN. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE MANUFACTURING ON THIS. I HAVE OWNED 4 VEHICLES IN MY LIFE, WITH ALL 4 OF THOSE VEHICLES HAVING MORE THAN 100,000 MILES ON THEM WHEN I TRADED THEM OR STOPPED DRIVING THEM, AND HAVE NEVER HAD ISSUES WITH THE DOOR HANDLES. THIS CAR CURRENTLY HAS ALMOST 73,000 MILES ON IT. THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE LAST YEAR AND THE REAR DOOR HANDLE BROKE THIS MORNING. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT BEING IN A SITUATION WHERE THE CAR NEEDS TO BE EXITED IMMEDIATELY AND WE CAN'T BECAUSE THE DOOR HANDLES WILL NOT WORK!

THE NISSAN ALTIMA 2013, DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE BREAKS, TRAPPING INDIVIDUAL IN CAR CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE IN ANY URGENT OR EMERGENCY SITUATION. CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN COMPLAINT HAPPENED. FREQUENT OCCURRENCE WITH THOUSANDS OR MODELS 2011-2015 AS INDICATED BY CONSUMER REPORTS. CONSIDERATION FOR RECALL.
