I loved my Nissan bought it new at the end of 2014. Stopped at light it cut off. Did not know they had a recall. I took it in for one recall and the tech said it was completed. Not! Found out he never did it. I took it in and they said the transmission recall didn’t work so I had to get a new transmission. Now my daughters Rouge that she paid off last year is doing the same! NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN BUYERS BEWARE

4th Nissan... unimpressed

I've owned four nissans (2005 350Z, 2010 350Z, and 2014 rogue select and this 2014 Altima 2.5S. I am utterly and completely unimpressed. Bought the 2014 rogue and Altima brand new same day in March 2014. The Bluetooth/entertainment system had to be replaced before the car was a month old. Multiple recalls. The avg service at the dealership on the 2014 Rogue is under $40. For the 2014 Altima, almost $90 (Synthetic oil). Acceleration is enragingly slow and putzy. Steering is a little floaty. Suspension makes spongy mattress noises whenever we drive over dips or bumps. The interior looks and feels cheap and is supremely uninspiring. The "NASA" seats ...LOL. WHATEVER. They're just seats. The upholstery attracts dust & dirt in a weird, clingy way. While driving one day, the following alerts turned on one right after the other (within about 3 minutes): TPMS error, I-Key Error, a check engine light, an icon of a swerving car (whatever that's for), the hazard symbol, the flat tire warning, the "you have your emergency brake on" warning light, and then the "low fuel" started repeatedly dinging, and the gas gauge started swinging from empty to 1/4 of a tank back to empty back to 1/4 of a tank, over and over... oh, and though I was on the freeway, the speedometer said 0 mph. I called my service guy from the nissan dealership, who I've been using for ten years, and asked him what that means? He hadn't heard of it.... pulled into the dealership about ten minutes later and left that dang Altima there and got a rental. $100 diagnosis later: we think it all happened because your ABS module died. I'm just tired of this stodgy, semi-unreliable, giant queen Mary of a car. I rue the day I bought it. I won't ever buy another. It's worth so much less than it's worth, so I'm stuck for probably several more years. Not cool. Update: Car is now 4.5 has yrs old. Both sun visors suppport bars have dissintegrated inside where they attach to the headliner. After about 1.5 yrs, they would no longer hold their own weight. The plastic that circles the bar they rest on has distended. This has pulled the fabric coverings off of the foam. To keep them from flopping straight down, we have used giant binder clips to hold them up. They are just pinned there, and can’t be used at all. Recently, the air conditioner started blowing air that was increasingly less cold. Took it to the dealership. They charged us for an evacuation and recharge, and that the coolant did not look good. They said it MIGHT be the condenser but to wait and see if it behaves better or not. We would have to next replace the condenser. Then move onto other components if that doesn’t work. Of course it is all out of warranty now. This car feels like a “disposable” car- cheap, glitchy, and quite frankly a lemon.

My car transmission broke down at 65K miles. I was told that I need to get a new transmission and pay 48000 dollars. And no body want to work on Nissan transmission except the dealership because it is CVT. And Nissan dealership are the worst, they will make you pay triple than the actually price! What a waste of 17,000 when I decided to my this crap car. Never buy Nissan!

We love this car. have bought 4 new Nissans over the years. Thought I finally found the maker to make me happy. Have had great luck but hear it comes don't know if it happens down south but I have 20,000 miles on it and its rusting around the crome strip on trunk. Coworker has the same problem on his 13 with 40,000 on it dealer said to bad that it would only be covered if under 36,000 miles. I will get it fixed under warranty when I take it in but it will come but in a year. Dealer knows about all of it for its happening to all of them. Nissan needs to step up but we know it will not happen. oh well I'll try a Toy or Acura next time. Not a good way to retain new car buyers.

Not happy with my 2014 Altima

I bought this car a year ago and my gas mileage continues to drop.I am now averaging a little over 20 miles per gallon. This is way under the estimated miles per gallon advertised by Nissan. On occasion there is a hesitancy when I press on the accelerator. The Nissan dealership told me there was nothing wrong with the car and that it was probably due to winter gasoline. I had a Camry hybrid before this and was very pleased. Gas mileage was well into the 30 miles per gallon even in city driving. This car will cost me thousands of extra dollars that I did not anticipate spending for gas. I can feel all the bumps in the road and the occasional sticky accelerator makes for a joyless driving.
