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.
After the car has been driven in stop & go traffic, there can be no response when pressing the gas pedal. I can be stopped at a light, then press the gas, and nothing happens, until suddenly it will engage and lurch forward. I was told at the dealership that this was a known problem with the brake relay switch. They repaired it under warranty, but the car continues to have the problem. I took it back to the dealership, they told be they 'rebooted the software', but again, the car still has the problem. I was told there was nothing else to they could do unless there was a "code" to read, but since the problem is random and intermittent, there is no code. I feel this is a big safety issue. I have been stopped, waiting on a left turn, then try to proceed, and the car doesn't move for several seconds, then have oncoming traffic. I appreciate your input. Thank you.
