2016 NISSAN ALTIMA Visibilitywiper Problems

while driving 25mph-49mph, the hood unexpectedly opened and flew back into the windshield causing the windshield to crack/shatter. No warning lights had been illuminated. Driver pulled over safely got out of the car along with 2 passengers. Driver contacted the police and had the car towed to the nearest auto body shop. calling NISSAN on monday 9/22/25. seems like there was a MAJOR recall in 2020 (HOOD LATCH RECALL, that states the hood may open without warning while driving and could obscure the driver’s vision, increasing the risk of a crash.)that this vehicle was not part of but exact thing happend that was stated as reason for recall.

The driver side sun visor is easily broken. The connecting rod is hollow.

Going down the highway coming home my hood popped up and blocked my visibility I swerved off the road causing my back tire to blow out. Now my hood will not open back up, since I closed it on the highway. I got my car to my house with the spare but am not sure what to do now. I looked and apparently my car has a recall for a faulty hood and was never taken in for inspection. I believe this was the cause of my hood failure.

The headlights are very dim. It is available for inspection upon request. It is a safety hazard at night time due to low visibility. The problem has not been reproduced by a dealer or independent service center. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacurer, police, insurance or others. There were no warnings, it seemed to happen gradually. I discovered there was a class action settlement, but I was not receive notification and had already missed the deadline.

CAR DANGEROUS HARD TO STEER ON FREE WAY VERY DANGEROUS WHEN BETWEEN 2 CAR YOU IN THE MIDDLE, CAR DIP AND SWERVE WITH LIGHT TOUCH OF STEER WHEEL, IT ACT AS IF IS HAVE NO WHEEL ALIGNMENT, AND THE CAR FRONT END DRAG THE GROUNG WHEN TURNING INTO A DRIVE WAY VERY NOISY. WIPERS AT NIGHT IN A HEAVY RAIN YOU HAVE TO STOP CAN NOT SEE THE ROAD AT ALL .LUCKY I AM A GOOD DRIVER .

THE REAR VIEW CAMERA IS VERY BLURRY AND OUT OF FOCUS AT NIGHT ON THE 7 INCH DISPLAY. IT'S NOT TOTALLY CLEAR DURING DAY TIME EITHER. IT APPEARS TO BE THE SAME BAD QUALITY ON ALL ALTIMA'S I TRIED IT ON. ADJUSTING BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST, AND COLOR DOES NOT HELP. THE CAMERA SHOULD FUNCTION WELL FOR SAFETY. I HAVE OTHER VEHICLES WITH REVERSE CAMERAS AND THEY WORK MUCH BETTER DAY AND NIGHT.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA THAT I HAVE OWNED ABOUT 6 MONTHS. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD VERY WELL WHEN IT IS RAINING. IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE WHEN IT IS RAINING AND IT IS SCARY. I HAVE OWNED 2 OTHER NISSAN'S, A 2007 ALTIMA AND A 2011 ALTIMA AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE. IT SEEMS LIKE THE WIPER BLADE IS NOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE WINDSHIELD TO CLEAR IT PROPERLY. I MENTIONED IT AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICEMAN SAID THEY HAVE HAD OTHER COMPLAINTS BUT NO RECALL. I ASKED IF HE THOUGHT IT WOULD HELP TO REPLACE THEM AND HE SAID THERE WAS NO GUARANTEE. WE WERE IN PANAMA CITY, FL LAST WEEKEND AND HAD OUR SON-IN-LAW AND GRANDCHILD WITH US AND IT STARTED POURING RAIN. WE COULD BARELY SEE, THEY WERE TRYING TO LOOK OUT THE SIDE WINDOWS TO...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO LOWER THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW, IT WENT DOWN LESS THAN HALF WAY AND AN RPM LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.
