CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2014 Nissan Altima shows multiple problem trends, continuing the poor reputation of the 2013 Altima, prompting us to give it our "Beware of the Clunker" badge.
Trip mileage and display have reset multiple times within the last 4 months. Only one other time was something else affected (CD player). On this occasion we drove from one location to the other (a few miles on the freeway) and parked. When the ignition was turned off the passenger side door did not unlock. I tried to unlock it with the button and nothing. I had to manually pull the lock. The car then locked fine from the outside. Re-entered the car 15 minutes later and the trip mileage and display had reset. Every channel on the radio (FM1, FM2, AM, XM1, XM2, XM3) had all reset to factory settings. Currently have a service appointment at different Nissan dealership but not optimistic they will solve this problem. Like the car a lot but very concerned this will be a huge issue for me in the future.
Occasionally the trip counter resets automatically. There seems to be some relationship with it happening when I use bluetooth to play music from my iphone or turn on the electronics but not the engine. I haven't been able to figure out what is causing it but it's annoying when it resets automatically because I use it to measure how many miles I am getting on each tank of gas.
