I've been having engine & engine cooling problems also fuel system how many car starting up etc.I've been having this problem around July
My vehicle was taking to the dealership for an inspection for the nissan engine recall. During the inspection metal was found in my oil pan which the recall states they must repair or replace engine if any metal is found. I was told the engine would be replaced on 11/15/2025 but 2 days later 11/17/2025 I was contacted saying nissan denied my recall repair and to come back and pickup my vehicle. The recall states if any metal is found they must replace the engine but nissan refuse to fix the issue. The report they showed me Saturday stated oil was in my oil pan but now since they denied the recall the report was changed to nothing was found in oil pan. I notied the manager and after I mentioned that to the service manager they changed the report again stating metal was found.
On August 30, 2025, while driving on the highway, my 2019 Nissan Altima displayed a “CVT (AT) Hot / Power Reduced” warning. Power was limited, but the engine did not shut off. I immediately scheduled service at Paul Miller Nissan in Fairfield, CT. At the September 2, 2025 visit, the repair order stated: “Customer states CVT (AT) Hot Power Reduced display in dash. All past codes stored; cleared all past codes stored.” No complete diagnostic test, CVT pressure test, or fluid inspection was performed. The dealership did not preserve the freeze-frame data from the TCM. I was told that no current fault codes were present and that the vehicle was safe to operate. Relying on the dealership’s professional assurance, I continued normal use of the vehicle. About a couple of weeks later, the vehicle began to jerk and lose smooth acceleration intermittently, worsening by the sixth week. I promptly returned...
I GET ERROR MESSAGE FOR MY 2019 NISSAN ALTIMA OF ENGINE MALFUNCTION, REDUCE POWER, SERVICE NOW. ALONG WITH OTHER SAFTY FEATURES LIKE CASH DETECTION, TRACTION AND ENGINE LIGHT. MY CAR SHAKES, FEELS LIKE IT WILL STALL ESPECIALLY WHEN STOPPED AND JERKS. MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW THIS RECALL. I HAVE GOTTEN THIS MESSAGE SEVERAL TIMES AND A OBD CODE READER GIVES CODE P0404.
Having problems with the engine overheating and the cooling system also

the engine makes a noise, and it like loses power when going up a hill. It also does like a hault while driving.
Well, first, my struts are bad on the right wheel. And I've went through about 5 tires now. And I guess my wheel bearing or something is messed up too. I don't I don't know exactly, but it does not sound good. Next would be the brake light is on and it won't shut off. No matter what I do, it will not turn off. The third thing is my cameras are not working, right and the fourth thing is, as it's making some kind of weird noise. I don't know if it's the engine or it could be where the wheel is. I don't know
I have a 2019 Nissan Altima SR 2.5. I have currently had the car for about 3 or 4 years now. For most of the time I have had the car, the check engine light stays on. I have had it tested, and it always states that it is the Mass Air Flow Sensor. When sitting in park idling, it will "malfunction" and state that the engine is reducing power. During this, the automatic emergency brake warning light and the VDC light will come on. It's rare that it happens while I am driving but it has happened. I recently had the vehicle checked again and again it stated that the Mass Air Flow Sensor and the Grille Shutter Actuator were throwing codes along with some other minor items. I purchased the MAFS and replaced it in hope that this would correct a lot of the idling issues, however after...
Engine Failure while driving. While driving on NJ Turnpike, Engine light appeared on dashboard. Car began to jerk and immediately lost speed from 70 mph to barely 15 mph. The vehicle continued to jerk then rolled to a stop. Vehicle has had regular inspections, repairs and oil changes completed. Engine Malfunction Reduce Power lamp comes on occasionally and goes off after a few minutes. A State Trooper stopped & said I may call #95 if unable to get off at next exit. No Report was made. Problem with engine failure started on 08/08/2025. Vehicle is parked, I am afraid to drive vehicle because I have to stay in Far right lane or on shoulder with hazards when driving. I have an appointment with Nissan Edison NJ on 08/10/2025 to check if my vehicle is eligible for Upcoming RECALL. There is a Recall for 2019 Nissan possibly coming the End of...
My 2019 Nissan Altima SL is having the same engine malfunctions that Nissan just recalled, but my specific VIN doesn’t seem to be a part of the recall.
Unknown
I’ve been experiencing recurring issues with my 2019 Nissan Altima. The malfunction indicator light comes on randomly, often accompanied by several warning lights including the check engine light. When this happens, the car struggles to accelerate and feels like it’s stalling, creating serious safety concerns. I’m aware that there is an active recall for the same symptoms affecting the same model year of the Altima, but my vehicle is not included in the recall due to having the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine instead of the 2.0-liter VC-Turbo. Despite this, the problems I’m experiencing are nearly identical to those described in the recall notice. I believe this issue may extend beyond the current scope of the recall and deserves further investigation.
Drove my car started loosing power and pulled over. Engine and battery light came on.
I have had the most problems with this car. I have had it in the shop 2 times paid more than $600 both times to be rewired and a sensor was messed up 1 day later check engine light came on they wanted me to bring it back and charge me again I said no thank you check engine light is still on. 3 months in between the 2 times to get rewired. Only lock that works is front passenger side they stopped working they wanted to charge me 400 per door to get fixed. I had to replace battery 2 times I’m having problems with it again. The radio will change randomly that can last 10 minutes or 30 minutes. This is the most crap car I have spent money on! I can’t find the invoice for 12/14/22 but I did attach the bill from 2/24/23. I can show...

The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Altima. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. After several attempts, the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to the dealer; however, no cause for the failure was found. The contact stated that an unknown part was replaced. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was towed to several dealers, who refused to accept the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, Southern Nissan Chesapeake, where it was diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the grill shutter valve had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact left the vehicle at the dealer where the vehicle was towed without the contact's consent. The contact could not find the vehicle. The contact found out that the vehicle had been towed to another dealer....
There car chugs and stops . i have had this checked multiple times sensors changed and no solution . check engine light initiated and car stops - very dangerous issue while i'm on highway
My car since 45000 miles has had an acceleration issue. When I engage the gas pedal, 3- 5 seconds pass before the vehicle moves. Once moving, the engine will stutter or slightly jerk forward and backwards, almost to a stalling point. The safety issue is the potential for accident as cars may collide with me from the side or rear not seeing the issue I’m having. Dealership refuses to fix telling me not to bring it in until a check engine light is on. There is electrical malfunctions happening in my car as I near 100k miles still having this issue. In research, many if not all Altima owners are reporting this acceleration issue, there are countless, so much so, the talk is wondering why no recall has been issued. A lawsuit was also filed, Judge dismissed, but plaintiffs were taken care of and problems rectified. If I don’t make...
The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Altima. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights were inadvertently illuminated. The contact also noticed that the shutters remained open, causing the engine to overheat. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed and the contact was informed that the grill shutter valve had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired for the failure with the instrument panel. The contact stated that the failure recurred with the instrument panel. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 67,582.
The doors won’t unlock when using the key fob or pressing the lock/unlock buttons on the driver and passenger front doors. I believe the actuators are not functioning properly. Also, the engine light came on and the code is P059F which indicates a faulty active grille shutter assembly.
My car keeps showing the Malfunction notification on my dashboard on and off on several occasions. I've brought my vehicle to the Nissan dealership. They are saying they cannot fix the issue if the error message is not showing at the time of service.
Check Engine Light "P0087" "Fuel Rail/System Pressure-Too Low" Engine Stall Message- Its a recall out already just not for all 2019 Nissan Altima whixh it should be
I have had several issues with this vehicle despite frequent oil changes and maintenance. Most recent issue is below: Immediately upon parking at 0900 on a clear, sunny warm day, an warning appeared on my dashboard - “engine malfunction, power reduced, service now”. At the same time, my engine shut off suddenly. No one was injured, as I had thankfully just parked. This was the first time this specific warning and malfunction occurred. The contact took the vehicle into a Nissan service center. The diagnosis DTC P0101 stored, excessive buildup in throttle chamber causing DTC possibly relating to the engine failure.
I purchased the 2019 Nissan Altima March 22,2024 for the last week the car will start when it wants , the collision sign on the dash comes on and states it’s blocked , the car will stop or shut off while driving ( on the highway with my two children ) the car stoped & a big truck almost ran in the back of me , the seat belt on the right side doesn’t work . Theirs 4 other problems with the car the could get me and my children killed I have documents from Autozone about my engine that’s not good . ( and the computer I put on to check the car says stop and repair car immediately) . I have pictures of that also .
ECM is causing my car to stay in a constant Malfunction state. The problem began in April 2023 and at first was intermittent. Now it stays in limp mode. The collision and traction control indicators stay on, as well as the check engine light. Two sensor codes came up and those were changed, but now the malfunction will not allow the codes to be cleared. This puts myself, passengers, and everyone else on the road in danger because when it malfunctions, it brakes without warning. Not to mention the amount of gas the car is using. The vehicle was inspected by a mechanic who stated it was the ECM causing it. This needs to be recalled.
Vehicle is giving Engine Stalling Notification car lose pressure & turn off
The shutter in the front of the car is defective. This part not working causes the car to overheat. There are so many issues with this exact same problem on this exact car that there is literally a back order and I cannot get the part so now I can’t use my car. My mechanic place said he’s seen 4 of these cars in the past week with the same problem and can’t get the parts because of back order. If there are this many issues that it’s causing this much of a shortage and it can cause overheating this should be a recall issue.
Ice deposits forming in the engine EGR valve preventing the EGR valve from properly functioning. This results in a "limp home mode" where the engine power output is severely reduced. Ice deposits physically verified by dealer. this condition routinely happens when parked outdoors in temps below 0F. When effected the car cannot reach highway speeds. Problem resolved by completely warming up the engine followed by an engine restart to clear the ECM error.

When the cruise control is on and I push on the brake to merge lanes or because a vehicle in front of me stops, the car continues to accelerate and gets stuck in acceleration the RPMs go up wildly.

The Check engine light came on and I took it to Nissan dealer. My car is at 39,000 mileage. On the previous Nissan Altima (2016) I had, the same thing happened while I was driving from Minnesota to Louisville. We almost crashed at Chicago due to some engine issue. When I arrived to Louisville, KY, I stopped by Nissan dealership and ask them what happen and they told me it will take up to two weeks to fix but recommended to get a new vehicle. I had no choice but to change to a new 2019 Nissan. Now the same thing is happening to this new Nissan Altima and Nissan is not willing to fix the issue without charge. This is very frustrating. I been having issue with the door not unlocking with a remote and they fixed it once and now I have the same issue they are willing...
