NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
Complaints filed against the 2024 Nissan Altima are relatively thin at 37 total, but a few patterns stand out. The powertrain and forward collision avoidance systems each draw the most reports. On the drivetrain side, owners describe hesitation, shuddering, and rough engagement, the kinds of symptoms that show up in stop-and-go driving. Forward collision avoidance complaints center on the system activating unexpectedly, with owners reporting sudden braking events and the warning light illuminating, particularly in wet conditions. The seat complaints are notable: multiple owners report the driver's seat heater running excessively hot, producing burning sensations and skin irritation during normal use at low heat settings. A single report mentions the backup camera displaying a blank screen when the vehicle is shifted into reverse.
