Nissan Altima Reviews

I think it's a shame that y'all put those cheap CVT transmissions in your cars, mainly the Altimas. It's ridiculous. You will do anything to cut cost and continue to profit. We have always been a Nissan family but, that has changed. IF we can get rid of this lemon we will definitely go another route. Our own personal experience is that although this altima is a 2018 it should not be having transmission issues. This car has had scheduled maintenance and did well until now. Do better.

Nissan doesn’t make a good quality vehicles and you won’t early repairs on your brand-new car then get you a Nissan. If you don’t want to deal with a lot of issues on your vehicle along with horrible customer service, consumer affairs via corporate office and be forced to open a BBB Auto claim then don’t get you a Nissan period they have issues when you drive them off the lot. I gave Nissan another chance after the BBB compelled them to refund my purchase on my 2022 Nissan Altima sr. I got 2025 Nissan Altima SR thinking if I went as far away from Covid made cars I’d be good. 300 miles and rear differential coupler replaced, HVAC system faulty, rattling noise, door panel coming off on my driver side, my radio goes black at random.

Nissan has lost any consideration I may have had for future purchases.

The styling of the exterior is sleek. The handling and drivability is okay. Nothing special. The interior lights for the heat, etc. do not light up forcing you to turn the light on when it's dark to be able to make an adjustment on the heat or defroster. This is a poor design. The back window is tinted so dark I cannot even see out of it. This is a rental car and I'm about ready to return it. The Nissan Altima is the biggest waste of money you could spend your money on. This 2024 car pales in comparison to my 2013 Toyota. This 2024 Nissan Altima in my mind is a dangerous piece of metal with wheels. It's a piece of crap. I highly do not recommend it. Go get a Toyota. This Nissan is a piece of crap.

BUYER BEWARE! Nissan does not make quality vehicles nor do they care at all about customers. You are simply money to them. I bought a 2019 Altima and the CVT transmission completely failed at 69,000 miles. After reaching out to Nissan and having a diagnostic done Nissan Consumer Affairs refused a good will assistance for me and my family of 4. Every person I spoke to at Nissan had no empathy for the situation and the fact that their product was faulty. This despite the fact that they are being sued for this reason. They claimed my VIN number wasn’t a part of the lawsuit and had no extended warranty granted to other vehicles. They knew this was an issue that was theirs fault but had no intention of helping me and my family and were happy to leave us with a bill for thousands of dollars to replace the transmission. DO NOT BUY a Nissan.

My 5.5 year old car's transmission failed. It is an obviously defective car. There must have been some sort of mistake during its production. I think that we should be reimbursed and that Nissan should publicly admit fault and apologize to people who bought their cars.

I purchased the vehicle in late March of 2020. The bottom of the driver’s seat stitching came apart. The seat was replaced. Then later the left upper seat began splitting. Nissan said it was not their fault, no issues with the leather. Now the right side of the driver’s seat stitching is coming apart, there is a small slit in the leather and the bottom of the driver’s seat stitching is coming apart. I have tried reaching out to Nissan, was informed by the customer service that my car was 3 years old, I informed customer service that I took my car back to the Nissan dealership while it was still under warranty to have documentation of the issues with my driver’s seat. I was asked to go back to the dealership and have them take photos.

Paint chipping along both sides of hood - 2017 Nissan Altima. Car just paid off and now paint chipping. Took to painting car pro and told this is a manufactured issue. Cost to repair $2000! Class action suit with Nissan with same color (pearl paint) with different model and yet have been waiting 4 months with Nissan consumer affairs to solve issue.

Our Nissan Altima had to have the entire electrical wiring system replaced just after we purchased it brand new, because it did not start properly. It functioned properly until this May. All of a sudden, the car would not start and the airbag warning light indicated an airbag problem. We called a Nissan dealer, Modern Nissan of Lake Norman (as we had moved). They inspected the vehicle and advised that the driver side airbag needed to be replaced at a cost of $2799.16 (labor only). The car went into the dealer twice for the dealer to look at the airbag issue. I had suggested a resetting of the sensors. In both instances, the conclusion was that the airbag needed to be replaced at a cost of $2799.16.

Lokey. Nissan. Customer service is poor. High cost of upkeep. The 2021 Altima has had multiple service visits. They didn't correct it in the last one, so they want another $1000. Nissan provides poor value for money. Be cautious.
