2016 NISSAN ALTIMA Structurebody Problems

Subject Safety Defect Complaint Recall Repair Refusal and Manufacturer Delay Nissan Altima 2016 My 2016 Nissan Altima is subject to a safety recall related to the hood latch cover The hood latch cover on my vehicle is defective and stuck which caused the hood to become completely locked shut This defect creates a serious safety hazard because the hood could unexpectedly open while driving putting me my family and other road users at risk I contacted and visited two authorized Nissan dealers multiple times to have the recall repair performed Both dealers refused to repair the vehicle unless I personally opened the hood first I explained that the hood cannot be opened due to the recall related defect and that attempting to force it open is unsafe The dealers still refused to perform the recall repair I then contacted a third party service AAA but they refused to work on...

Shaking upon acceleration

As we were getting the highway the breaks had failed and then we some were able to get off the highway but the steering wheel cruise control decided it was gonna work by itself it was a very accident. And not only that my identity has been affected so bad because of the situation with mission and the dealership that I’m unable to use my name for anything anymore my credits ruined and now they want 18 grand for me to pay off the vehicle that’s they purposely made the car look like a rebuild so it was no longer covered I guess because the person set up the insurance with Geico and actually some how have me insurance in my father dl number and later on start changing stuff removing the insurance forging documents My name is [XXX] Email is [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION...

THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY FOR THE RECALL OF THE SECONDARY LATCH FOR THE HOOD. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND THE HOOD HAS BECOME UNLATCHED. THIS IS UNSAFE AND A DRIVING HAZARD. A REMEDY NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP OR SOMEONE MAY GET HURT. I THINK IT'S IRRESPONSIBLE THAT NISSAN HAS NOT COMPLETED THIS REMEDY.

MY CAR BATTERY WAS LOSE AND I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC. I WENT AND POPPED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THAT THE BATTERY WAS LOSE AND I MOVED IT IN PLACE AND THE CAR TURNED ON. UPON ME BEING IN A RUSH TO GET TRAFFIC GOING AGAIN THE HOOD LATCH DIDN'T WORK, AND WHEN. I WENT ON THE HIGHWAY THE HOOD WENT UP TO MY WINDSHIELD AND DAMAGED MY HOOD, CORNER PANELS, SMASHED MY FRONT WINDSHIELD, AND I HAVEN'T FIXED THE HOOD BECAUSE IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE. IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. IN THE FAST LANE.

I WAS DRIVING ON FLORIDA TURNPIKE SOUTH AND OUT OF NO WHERE I HEAR A BIG BOOM NOISE. MY CAR STARTED OVER HEATING AND I NOTICED MY ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ONTO THE DASHBOARD. ONCE I PULLED OVER ON SIDE OF TURNPIKE, I NOTICE STICKING OUT OF MY FRONT BUMPER A BIG PIECE OF METAL.

THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 11 NOV OF 2016, THE DAY OF PURCHASE THE LEFT PASSENGER WINDOW WOULD NOT GO DOWN. THE NEW CAR WAS LEFT AT THE DEALER THE DAY OF PURCHASE FOR REPAIRS. THREE PLUS WEEKS LATER, AROUND 12/03/2016 I HAD TO CALL TO FIND OUT IF THE CAR HAD BEEN FIXED. NO COMMUNICATION FROM THE DEALER. THE CAR WAS PICKED UP AND USED AFTER REPAIRS. 03/MARCH 2017 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY 11 YEAR OLD SON ROLLED THE LEFT PASSENGER WINDOW DOWN AND THE DOOR CAME OPEN WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. I RESEARCHED THE RECALLS AND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE RIGHT DOOR ONLY. RESEARCH NISSAN HAD NOT SENT TO THE DEALERSHIPS.(RECALL NUMBER, 17V-040, RECALL DATE 01/18/2017) NO NOTICE OF RECALL WAS EVER SENT TO ME NOR WAS THE DEALERSHIP AWARE OF THE RECALL. THE COPY I TOOK A COPY TO THEM WAS THEIR FIRST...

IT IS IN THE TRUNK. THE OFF-WHITE SEALANT USE EVERYWHERE IN THE TRUNK VISIBLE. IT IS UNDERNEATH THE TRUNK CARPET, UNDERNEATH THE RUBBER MAT. I FOUND THE SEALANT GOT MELTED CAUSING RUBBER TO BE MELTED. I BELIEVE WHEN TEMPERATURE IN TEXAS REACHED 110 DEGREE THAT'S WHEN IT HAPPENED. LUCKILY I SPOTTED BEFORE IT COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. DEALER SAYS BODY SHOP WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT THE CAUSE AND GOD KNOWS IF THEY MAY HAVE TO CUT THE WHOLE TRUNK FROM INSIDE TO FIX IT. CAR IS STILL IN SERVICE FOR MORE THAN 7 DAYS.
