Hello its September now and Nissan hasnt fixed the hood latch recall yet can't use car now since June because of recall they told me it wont take long but its taking long now

- Philadelphia, NY, USA

I have received no response from Nissan yet re: The remedy for this recall. May 28,2020 manufacturer recall numberr20A7 NHTSA recall numbertbd recall statusrecall incomplete, remedy not yet available summary the secondary hood latch may become stuck in the open position due to a potential for corrosion (in regions with excessive road salt use) in the hood latch combined with improper inspection and maintenance. Safety risk if the driver inadvertently releases the primary hood latch (ex. While refueling) or the hood is not closed properly, the secondary hood latch may not hold the hood closed while the vehicle is in motion. The hood may open without warning and obstruct the driver S forward view, and may increase the risk of crash. Remedy a remedy plan is currently under development. Nissan will provide all affected owners with an interim notification that reminds owners how to properly maintain the latch and also reminds those owners to fully close and engage the primary hood latch each time before driving their Altima.

Driving on highway, absolutely no warning at all, hood flies open suddenly slamming into windshield while driving!!! after screaming of course, tried to keep vehicle straight, slowed, pulled over to right to safety. Unbelievably no other vehicles hit/involved, no crash - my vehicle has damage to hood, roof, both front fenders, interior overhead controls dropped out of the ceiling. Nissan not yet committing to paying for it 100% !!!!!! even though a recall on this item was issued 1 month ago, and I found articles on this problem with the car going back to 2014 - and Nissan dealership just had my car 4 months ago (March) working on another different recall !!!!

On the morning of Oct 25,2018 I entered my 2014 Nissan Altima approx 7:15 am and put vehicle in reverse, traveled approx 20 ft put car in park to run in for something I had forgotten. I safely exited the vehicle, closed the door and walked the 20 ft to my 3 steps and approached my door to my home as I started to unlock the door I heard a pop and turned around and observed my car leaving the driveway, it had gone into reverse and crossed the street where it stopped against a granite wall damaging the trunk.

On Friday 6/26/2020 while driving on the MA turnpike I-90 w, shortly before exit 20, the hood of my 2013 Nissan Altima flew all the way back crashing into the windshield and front portion of the roof. Luckily I was able to slow down and peek under the bottom portion of the hood to pull over to the side of the highway. My windshield was cracked, both side fenders were bent up/ slightly displaced, the roof was dented, inside the car the ceiling speaker/ sunglass console came crashing down and my hood was dented and having trouble staying shut. I managed to secure it down and drove slowly to exit 20. I immediately stopped at an auto shop near by and the owners first words were, "looking at your car, I can tell you this is exactly how people get killed in motor vehicle accidents". I am not surprised. Had I not been able to see or safely slow down, I may be dead. The shop owner showed how the sprained hinges allow the hood to go all the way back causing windshield damage mainly due to the secondary hood latch not functioning properly. He did spray some wd 40 on the latch to get it to function a little better; he stated that the vehicle was not safe and would not recommend driving it. The damage was estimated at $4000.

I was driving my car (2013 Nissan Altima) last week all of the sudden without prior notice the rear lower control arm cracked down. I was in motion but luckly not in a highway. The car was traveling about 20 miles/H. I lost control of the car but didn't cause injuries or accidents. I had to tow the car home.

Have a 2013 Nissan Altima, low mileage. Pulling out of driveway and noticed the back end of car was swerving as if I was on ice. I pulled over tire was not flat and nothing was stuck by the tire. No ice was on the road. I pulled down a little further on rode and the right rear end collapsed. The tire was sitting bent outward. When I looked under the car a metal bar was cracked in half. I called my son in law who is familiar with car repair and he and a mechanic stated it was the right rear control arm that had huge amount of corrosion and had broken in half. I called Nissan dealer in wausau Wisconsin and they stated no recalls or service action is in place. Had I gone 5 minutes more down the road I would have been on a major highway at 65 miles and hour and believe I would have rolled the car and been in the ditch. I usually drive my 2 grandchildren in the car with me but today thank god they were at home. I found thru your website that Nissan has been aware of this for sometime. This is a horrific finding. Does it take a death to get them to pull this part. I have pictures of the corrosion and breakage that I will try to send with this.

I was driving my 2013 Nissan Altima on a busy city street and lost control of steering ability due to the right rear control arm that was completely rusted and broke apart. My vehicle had to be towed and this part had to be replaced.

- Springfield, MA, USA

The problem we encountered was, when leaving to go to the movies, we heard a large bang went to see if something was under the car. Next we drove a few feet and heard a dragging noise. Upon inspection the rear tire was out of line. When checking the underside of the car, we were taken back by what we saw. The entire part of the car was rusted and the frame had rusted away from the main part of the car. We had gone out the night before and were on the highway going at least 50 mph, had this happened then we would have been killed. That night we were heading toward the highway to go to the movies. I can't believe the condition of the car. This car is kept in the garage and the underside had been hosed down to keep the salt from harming the underside. I have looked into this and found these cars have had many complaints about the rust underneath these cars. It has been happening for years. Some around 2005 and some even older that that. I would like to know why there hadn't had a recall in regards to this complete rust problem on the underside of these cars. I think we may have a case against Nissan after reviewing and having the knowledge of all the cars dealing with this problem.most of these people said they will never buy another Nissan because of this problem. I will have to have the photo's sent later as I do not have the phone with them on it.

On 14 May 2019, while I was driving to a family member's house on livingston road in accokeek, md, my hood popped open and obstructed my view of driving. I had to pull of the road to pull the hood down. It was very fearful. I could have killed myself or someone else. This isn't the 1st time it happened to me. It also happened in August 2018 in doswell, va. Both of these incidents were reported to my insurance company.
