My car has 33,214 miles on it. For no reason the alternator DIED ON IT. There was no warning on the dash of the vehicle. So the computer inside the vehicle did not give a warning that the electrical system for the alternator had died or that the battery had died. There’s no corrosion. There’s no shorts. I checked the fuses myself. This car has two sets of fuses one leads to the battery. The other one is for the infotainment center inside the vehicle. It’s not been tampered with. So there’s an issue with the computer system and how it registers errors to the dash of the vehicle also. That is a software issue. Whenever there is an issue with the engine, the computer system is supposed to register that to take it to get service or whatever. No warning ever came. An alternator is suppo

My car is brand new. It doesn't thave 2k Miles on it. My issue is with the radio- satellite radio system. As of today I was driving my vehicle normally and listening to satellite radio. All of a sudden I heard what sounded like a big bang thru my speakers. For a second I thought I got hit. I didn't get hit. A very loud bang of volume came through my speakers for an I nstent and stopped. Third time now since I bought it. Don't know what it is. However, as far as I'm concerned it is a safety problem. I jerked the car and was very distracted. My ears actually rang it was so loud. Please investigate

This vehicle was purchased used with 10,000 miles. Since purchase we have been experience with the battery and electrical system not functioning properly. The car is not driven much, but is started daily and run for 10 minutes when it is functioning. The car shuts down and it is necessary for us to have USAA or AAA start it, they have told us there is an electrical system problem. The car was taken to Colonial Nissan dealership in Feasterville, PA for PA state inspection and to resolve this problem. We were told "the car is not driven enough and there is no problem". The car is driven a few miles daily and has shut down again. I have contacted Nissan and they said they would get back to me to resolve this problem. I contacted them on 6/20/25 and they have not gotten back to me. Th

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while driving at 20 MPH, there was a popping sound coming from the front driver’s seat, and the seat detached and became unhinged. A dealer was contacted. No injuries were reported. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the seat frame needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic, and while inspecting the vehicle, the contact became aware that there was a part missing from the seat frame. The seat frame was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

I took my car into the dealer to ask a question. Upon arriving I tried to open the drivers door after I turned the ignition off to exit the car and the drivers door would not open. The service man tried to open it from the outside with the same results. Finally it opened. It had done this before but I always forgot to tell them when I was at the dealership. The passenger door had done the same thing. The dealership ordered new front door latches for both front doors and replaced them. Yesterday I entered the drivers door to back the car out of my daughter’s garage. I was again unable to get out of the car. The door would only open part way then get stuck. Once outside the car I tried to re-enter the drivers door to leave and I could not get the drivers door open. This is a safety issue. It

During a traffic incident on March 26 2026 I was the driver of the 2023 Nissan Altima SL and I suffered unnecessary bodily injury due to the AEB system. I was in a forward collision, the warning indicator did not go off, and the AEB may have went off after the crash unnecessarily causing major damage to my right shoulder tearing one ligament partially, one ligament completely and tearing my rotator cuff and needing reconstruction and two joints anchored. The impact of the AEB jolt went up my wrist and the force through my shoulder to cause that damage is inexplainable since I was at a complete stop and maybe only one car length away from the other car. I hit my face on the steering wheel. Airbags did not deploy. My son in the passenger seat suffered a concussion as did I. The only thing we

My mechanic noticed oil leaking near the oil pressure switch during a routine oil change. Told me to take it to dealership since I should still be under warranty. When I took it in, they very quickly were able to access that the oil pressure switch was faulty. Mechanic said it is a known problem. If it is a known issue, why not recall it?!

This is my second complaint on this vehicle I have brought my car back multiple times for this issue and I keep getting they have found nothing wrong I feel very unsafe driving this car it stalls frequently while I’m driving I’ve been in the middle of very busy intersections I’ve been at stop lights it’s very humiliating when a a newer car stalls all the time. I’ve gone to the stores and come out and my car won’t start it’s very nerve racking and embarrassing having a 2023 vehicle and this is the stuff I have to deal with on a day to day basis wondering if I’m going to be able to go to work or any where or be stranded some where I bought the car brand new and it has not been reliable at all I’m to the point where I feel I need to seek legal advice on this matter.

​Reporting a severe hydraulic/mechanical braking defect on a 2023 Nissan Altima with only 26,820 miles. Vehicle experiences persistent 'spongy' brake pedal feel, premature metal-on-metal rotor gouging, and severely darkened/degraded brake fluid, indicating a systemic hydraulic component failure or electronic brake-dragging defect. This is a severe safety hazard causing unpredictable stopping distances. ​Authorized dealer (Coral Springs Nissan) refused warranty coverage prior to the May 21, 2023 expiration date and attempted to extort a signed liability/warranty waiver under duress to release my vehicle, which has been documented in writing on the service order and on video footage. ***Manufacturer is actively concealing this safety defect to avoid a mandatory safety recall.

P235 /40 R19 92V tires came with 2023 vehicle purchase. Two years following purchase, there are 2 large sidewall cracks at 32,000 miles for the front driver side tire even though the manufacturer mileage warranty is 70,000 miles. One out of four tires exhibiting this issue. Find this to be a huge safety concern as I was unaware of the cracks and there were no air leak/pressure issues sensed.
