Owner report 11474574 · 2022-07-18 (July 18, 2022)
I bought my 2022 Nissan Altima in February this year. Upon leaving my house for work on June 9th, I noticed a unique crack in my windshield which had not been there previously. Nothing had damaged or hit it as I had not driven my car in over a day or so. Within a week or so my windshield became so severely cracked, it was unsafe to drive due to limited visibility. I notified Mclarty Nissan of this and they told me they did not handle windshield repairs. I contacted my insurance provider but due to the $500 deductible it was cheaper to pay out o…

Automatic emergency brake engaged on interstate stopping my vehicle. This happened 4 times. 2 of which were on highway. I was extremely blessed that I wasn't hit by other vehicles. No warning lights. Mold in vehicle from manufacturer defect. Carpets replaced but interior of vehicle was not disinfected by dealership. Mold is airborne. Car does not go into gear all of the time. It will flash D for drive on instrument panel but car will not move when gas pedal is pressed. This has happened several times as well.

Owner report 11491686 · 2022-10-31 (October 31, 2022)
The issues began in June 2022. Since then the automatic emergency brake has stopped my car 6 times on the highway. I was scared to death. Transmission will not go into drive all of the time. This vehicle is dangerous. Has been in for repairs 3 times and out of service for over 30 days. I have been in touch with 2 Nissan representatives since the beginning. Other Nissan vehicles have had the emergency brake issues before. I really am praying maybe it's just my vehicle that is affected. These things do happen. I have asked Nissan to buy the car…

The drivers side door would not open from the inside or outside. I was able to lock and unlock the door but when I pulled the handle it did not initiate the latch to open. I have had issues with the door not opening from the inside for several months but could open it from the outside, until today. I have had to climb through the passenger side to get out of the car on a couple of occasions.
