And the same problem starts to happen once in a while and then quite frequently and then to the point where I had to override that sensor or transmission in order to get out of her a few years ago I went to the dealer to ask how much it would cost to fix your problem can you do a price for $600 that was completely out of my budget so I had to bear with. Are you later I went to a dealership for Jan and they said the freshman be $1000. That was approximately 1/4 the value of the car. I would say that there should be a class action suit against Nissan what is this from which occurs even to this day with other car owners. More virtues be mandatory for the dealership to announce that this problem may occur turn on lifetime are there on a mobile before depression change the contract.

    Corrosion to the secondary latch may cause it to bind and remain in the unlatched position when the hood is closed. If the primary latch is inadvertently released again and the secondary latch is not engaged, the hood could unexpectedly open while driving, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
    Summary:
    Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2018 Nissan Altima vehicles. If the primary hood latch is inadvertently released, there is an increased likelihood that the secondary hood latch may corrode over time.
    What should you do:
    Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will install a stronger release spring in the hood release lever, a warning label near the secondary hood latch, and an Owner¿¿s Manual addendum card with instructions on how to lubricate and maintain the secondary hood latch mechanism, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 30, 2021. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Note: Recall 16V-029 remains open for any unremedied 2013-2015 Altimas and this recall applies to all vehicles covered by 16V-029 even if those repairs have already been performed.

    What should you do:
