There is an active recall for the hood latch which Nissan has no resolution for at this time. First- this same recall existed on my 2014 Nissan Altima and while the current recall is listed at June 2020 for the 2017 Altima this issue is not new or unknown to Nissan. They simply do not know how to permanently and safely resolve the issues. Second- the current "fix" is to press down firmly on the hood every time before driving. This is not a resolution and owners of vehicles impacted by this recall should qualify for a mandatory buy back from the manufacturer.
Delay when accelerating from a stop, it wont rev or do anything for a few minutes until the car will finally move. Very dangerous when in an intersection or switching lanes. No check engine light, no codes when the dealer test it. Doesn't always happen, had to the dealer multiple times, no help. Once I turn off the car it resets itself and will work fine until the next stop.
On Sept. 15th 2020, I was in an accident on the highway, I was rear ended by a tractor trailer and from there pushed across four lanes head on into median cement wall the car then rolled back into traffic where I was hit again by another truck in the front drivers side wheel and hood area, this sent me back into the guard rail on the other side of the highway. During this collision none of airbags deployed in the front or rear, this car hasn't been in any accidents, and there are no recalls listed for the airbags, the blind spot safety feature was on and did not alert me to driver side blind spot. Immediately after accident I was transported to atlanta va medical hospital off 1670 clairmont rd. Decatur, ga 30033.

Rear passenger side door lock stopped working intermittently then the right front passenger side door lock stopped working intermittently. I never know if the doors are locked or unlocked. If the fob was used to lock the car and thelock did not fully lock, you can open the door but then it sets off the car alarm. The remote start will not work anymore which I am also guessing is due to the locking issue. Spoke to the dealer but my car is over 3 years old and I did not purchase an extended warranty, so they say it's an extremely costly diagnosis and repair. I feel this is a huge safety issue, especially for a car thats only a little over 3 years old.

My Nissan Altima 2017 will just stop accelerating out of nowhere while other vehicles are coming behind me on the interstate road this may cause an accident and it happens like almost every 3 weeks back to back, since December 2019 till date my car doesn't accelerate and will be moving too slow like its about to stop on the road while still driving and all of a sudden it will accelerate slowly and move but still not moving like normal.
My 2017 Altima is experiencing a sporadic delay when accelerating from a stop. It won't rev or do anything for a couple of seconds no matter how far down the pedal is. Then all of a sudden it'll go. There is no check engine light and no codes. If I turn the car off, it's like it resets and has more power afterwards.

My car has under 19,500 miles and the camera is messed up, my car wouldn't start before, my bluetooth hesitates at times and my warning lights are not working properly.

Nissan automatic emergency braking system malfunctioning. The alarm goes off 'front radar unavailable due to obstruction" and little symbol lights up of two cars crashing on dashboard panel. My vehicle stops short intermittently when this warning occurs. I have noticed the problem is more frequent when I make a turn, go over a speed bump or in inclement weather it seems to happen more frequently... car comes to complete stop without me touching the brake. I was almost rear ended twice today because of this. On the way home from work today the warning light came on 3 times after making several right turns on city street it was also raining. My car stopped short and car behind me had to slam on their breaks to avoid hitting me..
My smart key stop to work, when work in the dash shows up key error, car don T want to open or start, lock or open. I got two keys and both got same problem
The Feb (front radar obstruction) reads unavailable while driving either in the city or highway. Note: This happens when is clear outside and while is windy, raining, foggy. Mind you the idea of having this system is to aid the driver to prevent accidents. But it will not do such if it is not working, specially while driving on the abovementioned conditions. This fault started on 27 Oct 2018 at 4:19pm and is occurring on a consistent basis even since. Last day to occur was Monday 27 May 2019.
I was standing in dining room when I heard a loud sound. I walked outside and saw metal cabinet (which contained various cleaning products, spray paint, etc) next to front left tire of 2017 Nissan Altima on fire. I did not walk far enough off porch to examine if car was on fire at that time. I ran back inside and got my son and his girlfriend out of house. I called 911 and moved friends vehicle (which was parked behind mine.) my son reported seeing front left tire of the parked Altima located inside carport on fire and attempted to put it out with fire extinguisher. Car and part of house burned until fire department arrived and put fire out. Car was deemed total loss by insurance and house is unlivable due to fire and smoke damage. VIN is invalid
