In owners' own words
I bought my 2019 Nissan Altima Platinum brand new. Since then I have had to replace all of the door lock actuators a minimum of 2 times, I say 2 times because only one has been replaced twice. All of the others have been replaced at least 3 times and the driver and driver side passenger side are ready for the 4th replacement. This presents a safety as well as security issue. Electrical system
I bought my 2019 Nissan Altima SR from Westshore Mazda in Tampa. The next day I locked and unlocked the car and noticed that only the driverâs door was working so three out of the four doors donât lock and unlock by either the driver side door or the key fobs. I looked this up online and noticed itâs a defect on a lot of these models and the sentras. Electrical system
Ever since I bought the car with zero miles I been having electrical issues. From reverse camera to low wash fluid light that doesnât turned off . Now even when itâs over 100 degrees outside my car marks inside thatâs 26 degrees . And now my Ac completely stopped working. I donât know what to do I only owe $4,000 on my car Electrical system
