Common problems reported by 2024 Nissan Altima owners, with recommended fixes and estimated repair costs.
Automatic Emergency Braking False Activation
The AEB system activates unexpectedly on highways and open roads with no obstacles present, causing sudden hard braking. Multiple NHTSA complaints describe the system triggering at highway speeds, creating rear-end collision risks.
Dealer can recalibrate the front radar sensor and update the AEB control module software. TSB NTB22-020 addresses sensor alignment. If issues persist, the forward-facing radar sensor may need replacement.
Est. Cost: $0 - $500 (sensor recalibration or replacement)CVT Hesitation and No-Move Condition
The vehicle fails to move when the driver presses the gas pedal even though the instrument panel displays D for drive. Owners report the transmission seems to slip, hesitate, or completely disengage, particularly from a stop or at low speeds.
A CVT fluid drain and refill with NS-3 fluid and TCM reprogram per TSB NTB14-012G may resolve the issue. In severe cases, the valve body or complete CVT assembly requires replacement.
Est. Cost: $300 - $5,500Left Front Coil Spring Fracture
The left front coil spring may fracture due to a manufacturing defect, causing the vehicle to sag on one side, produce clunking noises over bumps, and compromise handling stability and alignment.
Nissan issued a voluntary service campaign to replace the left front coil spring on affected 2022 Altima vehicles. Contact your dealer to verify eligibility.
Est. Cost: $0 (service campaign) / $250 - $500 if not coveredAWD Rear Differential Noise and Vibration
AWD-equipped models may develop abnormal noise, vibration, and/or judder from the rear differential, particularly during low-speed turns or parking maneuvers. The noise is described as a grinding or humming that worsens over time.
TSB NTB19-071B provides a procedure to inspect and replace the rear differential fluid with updated specification fluid. If noise persists, the differential coupling or transfer assembly may need replacement.
Est. Cost: $150 - $2,000Windshield Spontaneous Cracking
Owners report windshield cracks appearing spontaneously without any visible impact point, often originating from the edges near the A-pillar or bottom of the windshield. The cracks tend to spread rapidly across the glass.
Windshield replacement is the only fix. Some owners have successfully filed claims with Nissan customer affairs if the crack appeared within the first year of ownership. No TSB or recall issued.
Est. Cost: $400 - $800
