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.
I purchased my Altima brand new in August 2014. After about a month, I noticed that the voice recognition system could not make out the names I wanted it to call, so it started listing four or five numbered options at a time. I didn't really mind this additional step because it would always dial the correct person after I stated his or her corresponding number on the list. Now that I'm approaching 9,000 miles, the system will accurately repeat the name that I want it to call, but it will dial the wrong person! While I can fumble with the phonebook and choose from the missed call and recent call options, extra steps are being added to what used to be a two-step process.
Since I'm due for another oil change, I will mention this glitch to the dealership upon arrival.
Will report back later.
UPDATE
Went to the dealership on 2/23. My salesman witnessed the problem and had me record the names that were being misdialed. Now the system recognizes those names clearly.
When using the Voice Recognition for texting or calling the system doesn't recognize 99 percent of my words. I only get three trials before it starts all over again. It would be nice is i could have a number for the system to recognize or a touch screen. I still have to use my cell and that's not why I brought this car. If I would of known, I would of brought a different name brand and spent the same amount of money with a better system.
