Left headlight not working
2015 Nissan Altima electrical complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 56, newest first, as owners wrote them.
In 3 different occasions in this same particular order my car would start to slowly loose acceleration of only letting me drive to 10mph before lights on dash would come on such as ps,abs,traction control ect. Then my radio would shut off followed by my whole dashboard before completely the whole vehicle would completely shutdown on me and I could not start up again. I replaced the battery and put in a new alternator, but continued doing the exact same issue. I took it to a mechanic and he determined that for whatever reason the new alternator was not sending out the power and replaced it again and have to reprogram the entire computer because it was sending all kinds of codes that had nothing to do with my vehicles issue. He also noticed the continues whining sort of whistling noise coming from the powersterring as I have read in the past that people have that same problem on this particular model. As of this moment its been about 1 month and has not yet stalled on me for now, but it is very dangerous when this happens in the middle of the street or highway when your running at a certain speed and cannot control your steering since its powersterring.
The cruise control doesn’t work at all, then I’ve only had the car for always two years and the power steering is giving me issues. Also when I roll the window up or dwn the lights will flicker
The gear stick gets stuck when trying to shift gears it wont move from Parking, headlights seem to not give enough lighting when on, I have replaced the transmission after 3years of having the vehicle, I still owe on the loan and the vehicle still shakes when driving over 80mph on the freeway. I dont currently have any warning lights on the vehicle. I have taken the vehicle many times for repairs for the same complaint that the vehicle shakes when driving it and the problem still has not been resolved. I already spent a lot of money on trying to fix the problems.
My car battery died as I turned off the engine in a parking lot. I was unable to unlock the electronic locks. I was stuck in my car for 20 minutes at 100 degree heat before help arrived and was able to assist. There is not a manual unlock mechanism in the interior of the car that would have helped me. I even searched online for any way to let me exit the car with no electricity. If I had been farther away, my health would’ve been very compromised- I am just lucky I did not have a child with me. As a person with multiple health issues, this scenario has me absolutely terrified.
The headlights are extremely dim at night. after replacing them, it is still extremely hard to see at night which caused me to almost hit a person crossing the street
Took my car to Nissn dealership for water leak after heavy rain that could effect electrical components. Before they looked at they asked if I had a sunroof and advised it gets clogged easily with this vehicle and thats why I had water getting in my car. This is a known issue with Nissan but they dont address to consumers and. Mt car also had a mildew smell now as well
On my 3rd transmission since March 2021 1st one was April 2nd one was June Then car was in shop for over 2 months drive it for 1 week 3 transmission was put in November so yeah this car is bad also corp wont help not even anything after a manager called me a crazy [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
Got hit in a magor accident airbags did not deploy on side or driver front or side and lighting on automatic handle lights wetw out reverse drive the lettets on handle think there wad a defect
I was on the highway and my car would not accelerate at all, during up hill or flat portions of the highway . This was was super scary because I’m on the highway in Pennsylvania so there’s semi’s flying by. So I pulled off an exit turned the car off waited, unplugged the battery and after a few mins I plugged the battery in and started the car. This did not work at all, so I took a backroad home, later on the car started working correctly. I made an appointment to get the car looked at (thank goodness for extended warranties) but it happened again while I was getting on the highway, I almost got hit by a semi hauling a reefer, almost peeled myself swerved into the side of the highway. Cause a ton of traffic, cuz I could not get home any other way, so I took it in that same day freaking out cuz I almost died. The said it was a bad O2 sensor and that it was covered under the warranty. So they fixed it and everything was fine until last year I got sideswiped by this old lady in a old af Hyundai suv. And she literally took my entire front fascia so my insurance covered all the repairs and the rental I needed but once they gave it back I noticed the car was hesitating again I legit took it right back. I think I only had the car for 20mins. So they took it to a Nissan dealership so they could run their own test because the O2 seemed fine. Turns out the tranny needed an update… didn’t know that transmission could get an update like my iPhone. Anyway the car has been working perfectly fine since I did have to buy aftermarket head lights since the oem are trash and in PA there’s tons of deer everywhere. I do take very good care of my car it is currently at almost 180,000 and still runs super well. I do keep up with all maintenance since I do it myself. Haven’t had any real issues that I can’t fix. With the exception of the AC not working but the car is obviously out of warranty and I haven’t had the time to get under the beauty cover to look at it.
Head lights, very dim/low visibility. Marker/daytime running light went out. I’ve been having to use high hi beams at nights because my low beams are very dim which can be a safety concern for other drivers as well as not being able to see more than 10 feet in front of me. The AC E knob also stays on when trying to turn it off and does not start the compressor to make the air cold
Involved in +$6,000 not at fault front end crash on 9/29/2021 in Tampa Florida. Aggravated previous knee problems. Vehicle is currently at Caliper Collision in Saint Petersburg, Florida. Insurance involved. Air bag failed to go off. All front end safety sensors failed to work. Previously vehicle was taken to dealer to have forward collision/emergency braking fixed after light on dash was on. Was told it was fixed.
Car was misfiring for a while. Got spark plugs and coils changed. Two days after they were changed car still kept misfiring and jerking and wouldn’t change from the first gear and takes a minute to accelerate after a complete stop. Has white smoke coming from the muffler. Two days ago it stalled to start and would not drive or reverse. Dash board keeps saying system malfunction and LDW (lane departure warning) and BSW (blindspot warning) and check engine light stays on.
Airbag sensor warning lamp is on. Has happened in the past as well but Nissan fixed it since there was a recall. Now the car is outside the warranty, Nissan does not want to fix their defected airbag components/sensors and is asking for $1700 to start with a replacement part on the back of the driver seat and does not even guarantee the fix, they say more diagnosis/repairs might be needed after the first fix. I need help. Nissan North America refused to help and told me if I want I can reach out to the federal safety agency since there is no recall at the moment. The air bags will not work in the event of a crash and my wife drives this car everyday with my 2 little girls. Can the federal safety agency help with this safety issue? I purchased this car brand new from Nissan, I am the only owner and this car has never been in an accident.
My vehicles transmission I was told it has to do with transmission I thought it was a cv joint I not but it turned out to be way more then then that the accelerator peddle would get stuck and then take off fast almost hit someone.
The hood of my car keeps jamming but has a weird noise at times while in motion. The dealership is no longer in business I'm guessing because no one neither the cars are there. It's an empty lot.. The last time as I was driving around a curvy street the hood popped opened unexpectedly
My wife's 2015 altima 2.5 sl has a tremendous water leak on the drivers side filling the cabin with inches of water. This vehicle has been garage kept for the 5yrs, but with the purchase of my new car we know keep the altima in the driveway. After a recent rain I noticed a very strong musty, moldy odor and the sound of water as I backed out of the driveway, as I reached level ground my feet where soaked with water. I have had the drain tubes cleaned and cleared as this was mention to me at the dealership as a common problem. This did not fix the water leak and nissan requires $475 to check the problem further. I did a search online and noticed this is a common problem with nissan vehicles, as this water leak seem to come from faulty structural welding it's a safety hazard to the electrical system and safety of the vehicle as a whole, we now experience slight electrical glitches with our altima which again I feel is a safety hazard.
My back break lights keep burning out and the casing looks like it's burned now. Could it catch fire?
Having intermittent issue with accelerator not funcitioning. From time to time you can step on gas and it will not respond. Other issue is the cruise control will not funcition intermittently.
The vehicle was parked. It rained and the water flooded in through some drain. Now the vehicle had 2 inches of water on the passenger side, front and back. I called nissan and they are not accepting responsibility. The vehicle is developing mold and electrical issues. It is not safe to sit on the passenger side and is a major health and safety issue. This is manufacturing issue but the dealership is attempting to make me pay for repairs since the car is out of warranty.
Car completely powered off while traveling traveling at 10mph. The engine and battery symbol appeared, car was able to come to a rolling stop. Placed in park and was able to restart with no issues. Ten minutes later, car is traveling 60mph and car powered off, console turned black, car powered on, powered off and then powered on while maintaining same speed. Third time occurred 5min later as I was trying to safely pull over. Was traveling under 20mph and car powered off , locking breaks and coming to a complete stop while locking steering wheel.
Vehicle back up monitor will go blank when car is in reverse and backing up. This is an intermittent problem at first but is starting to become a more frequent problem.
My key fob is acting up...incorrect key id,,keeps popping up..I dont understand why this is doing this,,I feel that this is a safety issue because I really am nnot safe when I am stranded because my car will not start
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. The contact stated that the air conditioner failed to function and hot air blew out of the vents. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 129,776.
I purchased the car nov 2016 and has been occurring since march 2017. Randomly, it will tell you that there is no key when you open the door and the key is inside. It will tell you wrong key when you attempt to turn the car on. Or low battery when you have a brand new car and wireless entry battery.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. The contact stated that the smart key was replaced numerous times because the battery was always dying. The failure prevented the contact from locking and unlocking the doors. Round rock nissan (3050 north I-35, round rock, tx 78681) stated that the vehicle was not included in tsb number: 16-028. The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 67,500.
My door latch on the driver side door stopped latching to close the door when letting the window down now door stays open when driving.its not latched the lock isn't catching and door handle to open the door is loose. I was tryi g to close the door and the handle is not latching when I was coming home from the grocery store with mr children they have a recall for the back doors on this type of car but this is the front door doing the same thing as the back door in the recall it's just the front driver side door.
Vehicle was stationary. Dash panel displayed key not detected. Car wouldn't start. Replace battery in key fob with a brand new energizer battery. Worked fine two times and did the same thing. Had car battery checked and was told it was good. Car wouldn't start on me again in an unlit parking lot. Very dangerous situation. Have read on blogs that this is common with this car. Why won't they fix it?
I can not see at all with my regular headlights on (low beams)..it is a terrible safety hazard and I drive around with my 3 year old everyday andnight...it's sooo bad and I was shocked to hear that nissan is taking zero responsibility for this...there are so many complaints about this....they should [xxx] do something cause it's very unfair that now I have to pay for [xxx] new headlights and shell out over $600 for [xxx] defected headlights....never ever buying a [xxx] nissan ever again...if they don't eventually (sometime soon) take care of this....& do the right thing by their customers....

2015 altima has incurred two separate water leak issues within two months. First, diagnosed as clogged AC drain. This required complete replacement of carpet. This was repaired under warranty. Second, diagnosed as faulty firewall grommet on steering assembly. This allowed excessive amounts of rainwater to flood driver side carpet and under dash electrical while driving. Nissan claims is not a warranty-able failure due to "nature" being source of water which flooded through firewall. Dealer states this has been a common occurrence on 2013-2017 altimas nissan also does not see how failure of firewall grommet (s) could lead to vehicles sinking faster in the event of a water crash.
