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.

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 driver‘s door was working so three out of the four doors don’t lock and unlock by either the driver side door or the key fobs. I looked this up online and noticed it’s 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 doesn’t turned off . Now even when it’s over 100 degrees outside my car marks inside that’s 26 degrees . And now my Ac completely stopped working. I don’t know what to do I only owe $4,000 on my car Electrical system
