1995 Nissan Altima Driver assistance Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the driver-assistance system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Driver assistance reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DETACHED FROM THE FIREWALL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP BUT THEY DID NOT DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL WITH MODERATE TO HEAVY PRESSURE (FOR MODERATE TO FAST ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE), THE VEHICLE, ON OCCASION, CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE AFTER RELEASING THE GAS PEDAL. IF THE GAS PEDDLE WAS PRESSED DOWN FIRMLY WHEN THIS HAPPENS, BRAKING HAS LITTLE EFFECT ON CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE. TAPPING THE GAS PEDAL DOES NOT SEEM TO CORRECT THE ISSUE AS IT OCCURS. AFTER SHIFTING THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION), THE ACCELERATION SEEMS TO STOP WITHIN ONE SECOND.

CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE TO DISENGAGE WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKES WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND COMING OFF A FREEWAY OFF RAMP. I TIRED SEVERAL TIMES PRESSING THE BRAKES TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. I FINALLY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO STOP IT. I WAS VERY LUCKY THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS IN MY PATH OR I WOULD HAVE HIT THEM OR CAUSED A ACCIDENT RESULTING IN INJURIES OR DEATH.

GAS PEDAL STUCK WHILE DRIVING AT THIRTY FIVE MPH. I HAD TO PULL THE PEDAL UP WITH MY RIGHT FOOT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE CABLE GOING FROM THE GAS PEDAL TO THE THROTTLE WAS WEARING AWAY EVERYTIME I ACCELERATED. I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I FEEL THIS IS MORE OF A SAFETY HAZARD, THAN A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM. THE VEHICLE HAS LOW MILEAGE AND HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICING DEALERSHIP WAS NOT THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AT. THE SERVICING DEALER WAS REED NISSAN (ORLANDO FL) ALTHOUGH I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE SERVICE THEY PROVIDE.
