CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2016 Nissan Altima shows multiple problem trends, continuing the poor reputation of the 2013-2015 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.
The plastic shroud that covers the bottom part of the driver seat has sharp edges, and sticks out to a point to where it cuts my calves when I enter and exit the car. I had the dealer correct the problem, however, the way they repositioned the plastic shroud now cuts into the seat itself. I informed Nissan about the problem of the shroud now cutting into my seat, and was told "there is noting else we can do about this..", so I guess I will have to pay for either a new driver side seat down the line, or have to pay to have it repaired.
I recently purchased this vehicle and noticed that about a to 1 inch extra bump/projection of a vulnerable plastic under the drive seat caused bruises to the calf part of my leg. Attached are the pictures of the part I explained and slight bruise to my leg. This is not the first time I get into this bruise on my calf, but several times. However I am careful, it is hurting me. I would like to share with you for a possible action with Nissan and a remedy that would help to fix this in current vehicle as well as in future vehicles.
