CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2016 Nissan Altima shows multiple problem trends, continuing the poor reputation of the 2013-2015 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.
I was driving on Florida turnpike South and out of no where I hear a big boom noise. My car started over heating and I noticed my engine light has come onto the dashboard. Once I pulled over on side of turnpike, I notice sticking out of my front bumper a big piece of metal.
It is in the trunk. The off-white sealant use everywhere in the trunk visible. It is underneath the trunk carpet, underneath the rubber mat. I found the sealant got melted causing rubber to be melted. I believe when temperature in Texas reached 110 degree that's when it happened. Luckily I spotted before it could have caught fire. Dealer says body shop will have to look at the cause and god knows if they may have to cut the whole trunk from inside to fix it. Car is still in service for more than 7 days.
