I was driving on a highway at the speed of 50 mph and my hood flew open. I had to slam on my brakes in the middle of the highway and try and pullover with no view out my front windshield. There is damage to my hood and surrounding area due to this mishap. I am afraid to ever open my hood in case it does not shut properly again. I had just bought this car in November of 2019. I had my son in the car with me at the time.

The vehicle was parked. It rained and the water flooded in through some drain. Now the vehicle had 2 inches of water on the passenger side, front and back. I called Nissan and they are not accepting responsibility. The vehicle is developing mold and electrical issues. It is not safe to sit on the passenger side and is a major health and safety issue. This is manufacturing issue but the dealership is attempting to make me pay for repairs since the car is out of warranty.

I tried to release the hood by way of pulling the interior latch, it did not open. I called the dealership they told me to bring it in the next day. I got out of the car and pressed on it (to be sure it was closed) and drove away from the gas station. I was driving 30 miles per hour when the hood let go and hyperextended and flew up in front of me and I was unable to see anything.

On 12/30/2018 I had just left the parking lot of the local walmart and was at a complete stop for a stoplight on the corner of county hwy Z and state road 13, waiting to turn left. On the green, I turned and drove approximately 500 feet and my hood flew open to the point of slamming into the roof of the car damaging the vehicle. I pulled over and closed the hood and slowly drove home. When home I checked to see if possible recall on hood. There have been some, I contacted the local dealership after the holidays and was told my VIN was not part of the recall, therefore they couldn't fix any damages and I was to contact Consumer Affairs.

2015 Altima has incurred two separate water leak issues within two months. First, diagnosed as clogged ac drain. This required complete replacement of carpet. This was repaired under warranty. Second, diagnosed as faulty firewall grommet on steering assembly. This allowed excessive amounts of rainwater to flood driver side carpet and under dash electrical while driving. Nissan claims is not a warranty-able failure due to "nature" being source of water which flooded through firewall. Dealer states this has been a common occurrence on 2013-2017 Altima Nissan also does not see how failure of firewall grommet (s) could lead to vehicles sinking faster in the event of a water crash.

My car caught fire and was totaled. I had been smelling something the day before it caught on fire. I was driving on the city street and I smelled the smell I had been smelling stronger and I looked at the hood and it was smoking. I pulled over and more smoking started pouring out from my car. Then the dashboard went off. I got out and called 911 and by the time they got there the front of my car was on fire. After it was put out the fire had burned through just about everything under the hood.
