CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2014 Nissan Altima shows multiple problem trends, continuing the poor reputation of the 2013 Altima, prompting us to give it our "Beware of the Clunker" badge.
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
First, the cvt blew on a 70mph highway. Got that fixed, Nissan North America and mentor Nissan helped. Nna paid 70% of a transmission. They are also reimbursing me for towing. Then, I have video proof, that after the recall, the OCS light is on while I have passengers in the car. Lastly, rear suspension arm rusting out (photo proof). This car is no longer safe to drive! the whole car should be recalled!
Cvt transmission shutters, slips and shuts down the engine when stopping. Diagnostic was performed at dealership and resulted in bad transmission. Also passenger airbag deactivates intermittently even while someone is sitting

Altima airbag recall my Altima is under the year that the airbags were recalled, but my specific Altima is not recalled but is showing all the signs that the recall states.
My air bag light stays on in my dash. Went to my local dealer to find out an old code B0020-13 was detected. They found everything to be fine, so they reset the code. The air bag light came back on two days later, and the same code came on again. They recommended a replacement of the side air bag module under the driver seat to repair the concern. They want to charge me $1600 for parts and labor, and what's worse, the sop part is on back order with no eta. So I asked the dealer what I am supposed to do, and if the car is safe to drive" he suggested that I shouldn't drive the car, but the part is not readily available any where in the United States? what kind of garbage is that? they offered me no solution to my problem, and I don't have another car to drive, and they can't even tell me when the part will become available???? does this mean that this problem is a problem all across the country, because why don't they have the part available" this is a safety issue!!!! if I were to get in a accident, then the side air bag would not deploy!!
We have not had any accident and the air bag lights came on. The vehicle was not moving. We turned it on in the morning and it came up. We did not know what it was at first until my husband friend informed it that it was the air bag about 2 days later when he sent him a picture.
Front passenger seat air bag does not always activate when a passenger is present. System does not so this VIN as part of previous recalls, but the current symptoms are exactly like previous recalls for this problem.
On occasion when passenger enters vehicle, air bag indicator light does not go out giving the appearance that the vehicle does not think a passenger is in the vehicle. Typically occurs when passenger is entering vehicle at the same time the vehicle is being started. Can usually be 'resolved' by turning vehicle off and on again. Has occurred multiple times.
1) frontal passenger air bag. It always says off, even when there's a passenger. I'm not sure whether this is a takata inflator. (this occurs every time all the time when the engine is running, wether idleing, drive, neutral and reverse) 2) headlights. The headlights (both) continually get dimmer and dimmer until you are unable to see causing a very dangerous situation. (this occurs every time all the time when the engine is running, wether idleing, drive, neutral and reverse)I have had or changed my light bulb(s) at least (6) times in the 16 months I have had the vehicle. I have been stopped by law inforcement several times and a livery driver I have had customer complaints.
My vehicle was involved in a collision during repairs the body shop ran a diagnostic test in my vehicle and it stated info about the ocd system which I have looked up and this car has had 5 total recalls in the same thing, what am I to
The air bag light came on showing the airbag for the driver is no longer working. I thought there was a recall on it since I have heard and read online this has been a common problem. Same with the engine light glitch I have read is a common problem which doesn't allow my car to accelerate properly when that light is on.
