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.
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.
With passenger sitting in passenger seat with seat belt on, the light is on the dash at various times, when in park as well as when driving, the air bag is off. We have taken it to the dealership numerous times to report this issue, but it continues to occur.
Takata recall while stopped on a busy street waiting to make a left hand turn, I was rear-ended by a large SUV. My airbag did not deploy and I suffered severe pain to my head, neck, shoulders and back. My Altima was later declared a total loss as a result of the accident.
Passenger airbag indicator fails to go off when a passenger is sitting. Nissan refuses to accept this as a manufacturing defect and is a serious safety issue that should be part of a recall. There is no accident involved yet but it should be reported to hence this complaint.
My vehicle was impacted in left side, airbags only appears in right side. People on left side get injured, vehicle was stationary impacted by a car without breaks. (accident occurred in slp, mxico).
After taking in my Altima 2014 sv for a recall on the airbag sensors, the issue did not go away. The issue is that there is that about half the times a passenger sits next to the driver seat, the airbag system does not detect them. I am having to restart the car for security purposes in case something ends up happening. I am also having an issue with my ac system. I replaced the compressor a year ago and it seems to be failing again. As a senior software engineer I can safely say that there is definitely an issue with their software. I hope they can fix this soon. Thanks, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).?
