What owners wrote
At random times, when the rear, power, lift gate is opened, it reaches the point of being fully opened, and then closes on it's own. This creates a significant safety hazard because if you are reaching into the rear cargo area, the lift gate comes down on your head, neck, or back. This has been a problem since the car was purchased new in 2015 but nothing has been done by a dealer because the problem is random. This happens when the vehicle is parked. There does not appear to be any reason for this defect.
Hello, last night I had to help my sister with her nissan altima 2013 because when she shifts her car from park to reverse or drive the altima stalls and will not drive. When I popped the hood I noticed that her battery was in very bad shape. It was heavily corroded. I cleaned it and tried, but the same symptoms happened. The altima would stall. We ended up replacing the battery. That was her third battery to be replaced. Why is that? Her altima is only 75k miles.
