CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2015 Nissan Altima shows multiple problem trends, continuing the poor reputation of the 2013 & 2014 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.
Takata inflator. I received a letter from a Nissan dealer about 2 months ago. It stated that I should bring in my vehicle to replace the passenger air. When I called to make an appointment I was informed that I would be called by the dealer when the they receive the air bag from the manufacturer. I have not heard from the dealer. When I checked NHTSA website, it did not show my vehicle as a recalled vehicle. I am confused. Is the dealer being honest. Previously, the dealer had requested that I bring in my vehicle. The dealer stated that the indicator light on the passenger air bag was not functioning properly. The dealer also stated that the repair was completed. On another occasion I was also told to bring in my vehicle for a transmission problem. The dealer also stated that the repair was properly completed. What action can I take in reference to the most recent request to replace the air bag? the date I received is approximate.
Air bag light comes on passenger side seat indicating air bag off, with passenger sitting in seat(passenger weighs over 115 #. I have brought car in for seat and air bag recall! brought in 2 more times for same problem. Still same problems. Contacted Nissan Corp and told problem. As told by Nissan rep that they spoke with dealership that all was done to correct problem and known of anything that they could do for problem. The problem does this erratically when car is in motion or stationary. I M am afraid to use auto with pass in seat not knowing if air bag would work in case of a accident.
The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. The contact noticed that the driver seat was very unstable and the seat cushion felt uneven. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the seat rail and frame failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired six times, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 300.
While driving alone on 03/12/2015 noticed the airbag auxiliary light come on in my new 2015 Nissan Altima. The Altima was serviced for this on 03/18/2015 and the light was reset with the technician stating the passenger side airbag sensor was under recall. Then, while driving on 03/22/2015 the airbag auxiliary light came on once again, also when I was the only occupant in the vehicle. The Altima was serviced again for this issue on 03/25/2015 where the technician stated objects left on the passenger seat (laptop bags, etc.) can cause the sensor to go off and that it's a known issue. They recommended to not put anything onto the passenger seat aside from an adult person. Although I have placed a bag onto the passenger seat a couple of times while driving, the airbag auxiliary light never came on while anything or anyone was in the passenger seat. Then again today, 03/26/2015, the airbag auxiliary light came back on in my 2015 Nissan Altima while I was driving with nothing/no one in the passenger seat.
