I was driving my nissan altima when the recall hood latch let my hood open.Yes my car is available for inspection. I was driving on public road when the hood open with out any warning. It stop me from see the road and cars in front of me. Yes they replaced the recalled hood latch again. They did not fix the damages that happened to my car but give me the run a round. Now my windshield is broke, both finders are damaged and the hood is dented. Sutherlin Nissan in Cherokee County is where they replaced the recall hood latch and told me to get quote from ny body shop of choosing and send to Nissan Consumer affairs and they told me that Sutherlin Nissan should have runned it thru warranty. No warning lamps or messages appeared before the hood open.

The locking mechanism on the rear passenger door has broken twice. The electric switching mechanism does not lock or unlock the door. Has to be done manually. Additionally the child safety lock also had to be replaced on the same door. Causing the door to only be able to be opened from the outside. Both are potentially very dangerous in the emergency situations.

I was driving in the highway, and suddenly my hood flew open. I could not see I had to slow then and pull over to the side. Because of the hood coming up it cracked my windshield and the hinges damaged both sides of the front fenders. I have been trying to get an appointment for the recall at multiple Nissan service centers since January of 2022. This incident happened in December, it is now September 06 2022. I am sitting at a Nissan service center and they are telling me they are not responsible call the insurance. As I explain to the agent the insurance is not going to fix it due to the problem caused by a recall. Now the agent is telling me that I will have to make another appointment and it will be 8-9 months before they can get to it.

The rear passenger door can't be opened from the inside. Cabling came loose from the handle apparently. Door is able to be open from the outside. It was like the child safety lock was on. Also the front floor mat eye hook ring tore away from the floor mat allowing it to move up under the gas and break pedal.

Distracting wind noise from driver side, possibly mirror past years have had driver side mirror recalls. The noise distracts the driver and closing the mirror stops the noise but renders the mirror unusable and dangerous

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

My vehicle was parked in the stalls in front of the casey's general store entrance in evansville, Wisconsin. I was parked there from 8am-5pm and when I returned to my vehicle, there was damage to the rear right bumper as if another vehicle had swiped mine backing in or out of the neighboring stall. There was no previous damage to my vehicle-it was in perfect condition as it is brand new.

My 2008 Nissan Altima coupe has a dashboard that is melting and becoming sticky to the touch. As the melting and stickiness progress, the dashboard is becoming shiny and there is a glare occurring making it hard to see the road. As the stickiness and glare become worse, this vehicle is becoming dangerous to drive.
