problem #3

Altima LX 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 500 miles

Radio/Navigation reboots while driving down the road. Whole system shuts down--no radio. Sometimes when I start the car, the radio buttons are dim/grayed out and the radio doesn't play. Sometimes the Bluetooth connects to my phone, which locks up my phone and my radio. Sometimes I'm on the phone and the system reboots, dropping my call and locking my phone. Driving down the road and my radio quits playing. Navigation freezes. Phone buttons on steering wheel don't work sometimes. SO many problems!!!!

Sent my car to the local Nissan dealership and they claim NO REPORTED PROBLEMS for Altima. Nothing shows on diagnostic. NO reported problem=No solution. This happens ALL the time. I know someone with the exact same car with the exact same problem. I'm so frustrated with this car. AND, the navigation system is worthless anyway.

Brand new car. Not sure why the radio/navigation system turns off and reboots itself for no apparent reason.

I started having problems with the 2014 Nissan Altima about three months into the lease.

I took it to the dealership and they finally said they will replace the navigation-radio when one comes available. I told them about the car just turning itself off and how many times it did it. They took it on a SHORT test drive and said they couldn't find a problem. I called Nissan Corp and told them I wanted out of the car because it was NOT safe. Three weeks later I got a call from Nissan Corp and they said NO WAY will they either buy the car back or even help on a replacement car.

I traded the UNSAFE car off today for a Hyundia. NO MORE Nissans for this country boy.
