I've owned my 2015 Nissan Altima for over 5 years now and have encountered several common problems that I'd like to share with the community. One of the most frustrating issues I've faced is the intermittent loss of power steering assist. It would occur randomly while driving at low speeds, making it difficult to maneuver the car. After researching online, I discovered that this issue was due to a faulty power steering motor. Replacing the motor resolved the problem.
Another common issue I've encountered is the transmission slipping out of gear when accelerating from a standstill. In my case, cleaning the throttle body and replacing the spark plugs resolved the problem. However, if you're experiencing persistent issues with your transmission, it's essential to have it checked by a professional mechanic as it could be a sign of more serious problems.
If anyone else has experienced these issues or knows of any other common problems with the Nissan Altima, please share your experiences and fixes!
