2020 Nissan Altima Other Problems

Your backup camera display on the radio screen freezes occasionally when backing up and has gone completely black while reversing. Additionally, your driver's door frequently fails to fully unlatch, opening only partway and trapping you inside the vehicle. Locking, unlocking, restarting the car, and using the outside handle haven't resolved the issue—you've had to exit through the passenger door and wait several minutes for the door to finally open properly. This appears to be an electrical or door latch mechanism failure that requires diagnostic inspection of both the camera system and door lock assembly.

Your door lock actuators aren't working properly, which has locked your keys inside the car and left your driver's side and both back doors unable to lock securely—they can open accidentally while driving. You discovered the problem when you were able to open the back driver's side door without using your key fob, and subsequently the back passenger side door lock also failed. Your Nissan dealer has confirmed there's an issue. Fixing this will likely require replacing the faulty door lock actuator(s) on the affected doors.

During a recall inspection at your Nissan dealership, metal debris was discovered inside your engine. Nissan declined to replace the engine because they said the debris didn't meet the recall criteria, and the dealership plans to simply remove the debris instead. You're concerned that clearing debris without addressing the root cause leaves your vehicle unsafe, especially before a 1,000-mile trip. This issue may require an engine inspection by a qualified mechanic or a second opinion to determine if more extensive repairs are needed.

All 4 door lock actuators prematurely fail, causing doors to remain unlocked or locked even after numerous times of locking/unlocking, posing a safety risk.

My back up camera was pink this morning went to work then noticed next time I backed up it was a static picture and then backed up again and its blue and now it's back to the static picture

Rear camera malfunctions after trunk is opened, screen goes purple, pixilated, or jumpy.

I have a 2020 Nissan Altima SR that both rear door lock actuators have randomly gone out resulting in my back doors not unlocking in case of an emergency. My doors also do not lock with any of the buttons, and if I forget to manually lock my rear doors, they are left unlocked and someone can break into my car, resulting in injury.

Backup camera screen goes black/blue sometimes

Trunk latch broke entirely, cannot shut trunk and cannot repair myself. Did not slam trunk lid, just shut normally.

All four door lock actuators have failed when the car was only 2 years old. We have lived with it but this seems to happen and could be a safety issue.

The forward collision warning light comes on saying their is a malfunction. It stays on for a couple of days, and then it goes away and comes back again a couple of days later. I had my sister husband hook up a diagnostic scanner on the car, and he said that it displayed no error codes for the problem. I believe this should be a safety recall because i noticed a lot of people driving the 2020 nissan altima have the same problem as me.

Car continually goes into malfunction mode. It goes away when the car is turned off and re started. It throws a code for mass air flow sensor. Have replaced mass air flow sensor three times. No dealership or mechanic can find an issue. Sometimes, the collision warning goes off for no reason causing panic. This has been going on for a year. Began March 2022.

Caught on fire, burst into flames within minutes of seeing smoke. My son barely got out before it blew up. His dog in the backseat unfortunately didn’t make it out. Would like investigation on what could have caused this. Before someone else loses theryre life

When first purchased car headlights on passenger side did t work. They had to change the computer system. Had car whole week to complete. Then had to straighten the hood because it was off track. Now they states I have to get axle gears dropped and greased. Only had car 3 months and warranty doesn’t covers anything. States I need fuel induction and injection serviced

All of a sudden, heard a very loud bang and the back window shattered and was pushed outward. We were driving slow and in an open space; nothing hit the window. It did not have any prior cracks or chips in it. This issue has been reported with other Nissan Altimas, however my specific VIN did not fall under this recall.

I LEASED A 2020 NISSAN ALTIMA SL IN JANUARY. 2020. I'VE BEEN IN ISOLATION FOR 13 MONTHS BECAUSE OF A HIGH RISK OF CONTRACTING COVID19. I TURNED ON MY CAR PERIODICALLY AND SAW AN ALERT ON THE DASHBOARD.I CALLED THE MANAGER OF CONTINENTAL NISSAN WHERE I LEASED THE CAR. HE TOLD ME IT HAD TO DO WITH THE REAR SENSORS AND ADVISED ME TO WIPE THEM, WHICH I DID. HOWEVER, WHEN I BACKED UP MY CAR TODAY THE REAR SENSORS DID NOT GO OFF WHEN I GOT VERY CLOSE TO MY NEIGHBOR'S GARAGE DOOR. I HAVE A CASE #43362334. THE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY REPAIRS TO THE REAR SENSORS, WHICH IS PREPOSTEROUS. I DID NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR OVER A YEAR.MOREOVER, THERE ARE RECALLS ON 2020/2021 ALTIMAS. NISSAN IS PUTTING ME AT DANGER OF A REAR END COLLISION/DAMAGE.

JUST PURCHASED MY CAR 2 MONTHS AGO, AND I'M STARTING TO SEE CHIPS/CRACK ON THE TOP OF THE WINSHIELD. I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING OR ANY DEBRI. I BELEIVE THIS IS A DEFECT. I AM GOING TO SEE THE DEALERSHIP, AND SEE WHAT THEY TELL ME.

I KNOW THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE SPECIALLY FOR ANDROID PHONE USERS. I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE HEADUNIT WHEN PLAYING A SOUND THROUGH ANDROID AUTO. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING FOR SOLUTIONS BUT NOTHING FOR THE ALTIMA. SOFTWARE UPDATE TO 0910 FIXED THE NISSAN SENTRA MUSIC STUTTERING ISSUE BUT NISSAN HAVEN'T DONE IT TO THE ALTIMAS. I HAVE BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY ALWAYS SAY THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT ARE LOOKING ONTO IT. MY CAR IS A 2020 ALTIMA AND THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON EVER SINCE (2019) THIS NEWER MODEL (L34) HAD CAME OUT AND STILL NO FIX. AND THE DEALERSHIP BARELY KNEW THIS ISSUE.. MAYBE BECAUSE THERE IS MORE APPLE USERS THAN ANDROID USERS. WHO KNOWS.

CAR RATTLES WHEN GOIN OVER POT HOLES COULD BE A RECALL FROM A 2013 NISSAN CAUSE THAT CAR RATTLED

FIRST MY WINDSHIELD SHATTERED FROM A SMALL PEBBLE, NO BIGGIE, WELL TODAY MY SUNROOF BLEW AND HUGE WHOLE AND FLEW OFF

MY FATHER IS CURRENTLY DRIVING ONE FROM ENTERPRISE WE DON'T KNOW IF THE GLASS HAD A HAIRLINE CRACK PREVIOUSLY EXISTING OR IF THE CAR WINDOW GOT VANDALIZED BUT THE WHOLE WINDOW IS GONE AND THE ALARM SYSTEM DIDN'T EVEN GO OFF ETHER. I THINK THE HEAT HIT IT AND MADE THE WINDOW EXPLODE GLASS FROM THE WINDOW WENT EVERYWHERE THE CAR ONLY HAD 27,866 WHENEVER WE GOT IT FROM THE RENTAL CAR PLACE MONDAY I FEEL LIKE NISSAN NEEDS TO CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS INCIDENT MYSELF AND MY FATHER BOTH TOLD ENTERPRISE ON BLACKSTOCK RD WE FELT LIKE THE CAR HAD A DEFECT.

I TOOK POSSESSION OF MY CAR ON 1/21/2020. THE FIRST TIME I USED THE NAVIGATION, ON 2/3/2020 I MISSED A DENTIST'S APPOINTMENT I WAS GOING TO FOR THE FIRST TIME.I ENTERED THE TOWN THEN THE BUILDING NUMBER AND STREET NAME. THE DIRECTIONS SENT ME IN A COMPLETELY OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. ON 2/25/2020 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN AN ALERT APPEARED ON THE BOARD. IT DID NOT CLARIFY THE PROBLEM, IT ADVISED TO REFER TO THE MANUAL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE CLOSEST NISSAN DEALERSHIP, MARTIN NISSAN. THE SERVICE MANAGER, GUY DE LEO, ENTERED HIS OWN ADDRESS, CHOOSING THE TOWN FIRST, AND HE GOT WRONG DIRECTIONS AS WELL. I CONTACTED NISSAN, AND THE MATTER WAS PASSED TO THE ESCALATION DEPARTMENT. A MAN BY THE NAME OF JAMES, DIRECT TELEPHONE NUMBER 615-725-7737, CALLED ME. I EXPLAINED THE TWO PROBLEMS. HE STATED THAT HE WOULD REVIEW THE MATTER AND THAT NISSAN MIGHT REPLACE THE 2020 ALTIMA 2.5 SL. HE CALLED ME TODAY, 2/28/2020 AND TOLD ME THAT HE SPOKE TO GUY DE LEO AT MARTIN NISSAN, WHO TOLD HIM THAT THE NAVIGATION HAD NOT MALFUNCTIONED, ALTHOUGH HE SAW IT DO SO HIMSELF. AS FOR THE ALERT THAT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD, HE TOLD JAMES THAT HE HAD SCANNED A PAGE OF THE MANUAL REFERRING TO THE ALERT. JAMES, JUST A NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE, DECIDED THAT SINCE NO REPAIRS WERE NEEDED THE CAR WOULD NOT BE REPLACED. I HAVE NO OTHER CAR, AND I AM VERY FEARFUL WHILE DRIVING, NOT KNOWING WHAT ELSE WILL MALFUNCTION. *LN CONSUMER STATED DRIVING HOME ON MARCH 5TH, 2020 2 MORE INCIDENTS HAPPENED. NAVIGATION HASN'T BEEN USED FOR A WEEK, WOULD COME ON BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING AND GAVE DIRECTIONS. ALSO, ISSUES WITH VENTILATION WHERE IT WOULD CHANGE ON ITS OWN. MANUFACTURE WROTE BACK STATING CAR WOULD NOT BE REPLACED AND CAR AS MALFUNCTIONING AND NOT SAFE.*JB
