2005 Nissan Altima

DT:THE CONTACT STATED VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. THERE WERE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON BEFORE THE ENGINE STALLED. THE ENGINE MADE A METAL GRINDING NOISE WHEN IT LOST ALL POWER. HE WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY STATED THE CAM SHAFT BROKE DUE TO A MATERIAL DEFECT. THE CAM SHAFT WILL BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY.*AK

I PURCHASED A 05 ALTIMA S IN AUGUST AND AT 4000 MI THE BRAKES STARTED TO GRIND AND MAKE NOISE, I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE BRAKES AND RESURFACED THE ROTORS. A WEEK LATER THE BRAKES BEGAN MAKING NOISES AGAIN AND GRINDING , I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK AND THE DEALER SAID THAT THE FACTORY SAID THE HAVE TO SHOW THEM SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE CA AND THAT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR BACK A WEEK LATER AND ONCE AGAIN COMPLAINED OF THE BRAKED GRINDING AND NOISE AND THIS TIME I RECORDED THE NOISE ON MY CELL PHONE AND PLAYED IT FOR THE SERVICE ADVISOR TO HEAR. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT IF IT WAS DANGEROUS IT WOULD BE MAKING THE NOISE ALL THE TIME AN THAT EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND FILED A COMPLAINT AND WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE PURCHASING DEALER, OR ANOTHER DEALER TO GET A SECOND OPINION AS THEY PURCHASING DEALER TENDS TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR "BABIES" I STATED THAT THAT SHOULD BE A COMPANY POLICY FOR NISSAN NOT A DEALER POLICY AND THAT I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS BRAKES ARE A REQUIRED SAFETY FEATURE. *NM

DT: THE OWNER HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SINCE THE DAY OF PURCHASE. IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, THE CAR STALLS. THERE IS NO ACCELERATION AND THE GAS PEDAL DOES NOT WORK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON BEFORE THE STALLING BEGINS. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED THE OWNER THOUGHT IT RAN OUT OF GAS. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO THE REPAIR SHOP THREE TIMES, AND THE REPAIR HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR POSITION SENSOR, THROTTLE CHAMBER, AND AIR VOLUME LEARNING PROCEDURE. THE SECOND TIME THE ACCELERATOR POSITION SENSOR WAS REPLACED AGAIN. THE THIRD TIME THE ACCELERATOR POSITION SENSOR AND ENGINE CONTROL MODULE WERE REPLACED. AGAIN, THIS DID NOT APPEAR TO HAVE REPAIRED THE PROBLEM, THE OWNER IS NOT CONFIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT GUARANTEE THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. *AK

I HAVE A NISSAN ALTIMA SE-2005-IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS, THE DEALER, NISSAN, HAS HAD MY CAR 2 TIMES-1ST TIME STEERING WHEEL SHIMMIED AT 40 MPH WHEN DECREASING SPEED AND WAS TOLD WARPED ROTORS???-2ND TIME WAS NOISE FROM FIRST TIME WHEN THE DEALER TURNED THE ROTORS??? THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS THE CAR ONLY HAS 12,000 MI ON IT - I HAVE NEVER HAD THE ROTORS TURNED AT SUCH A LOW MILEAGE-3RD TRIP TO DEALER ON THIS ISSUE WILL RESULT IN MANUFACTURER, WHERE EVER LOCATED, HEARING ME FROM MARYLAND AT THE DEALERSHIP, IN ADDITION TO STEPS TAKEN TO ENSURE MY SAFETY WITH NISSAN ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL COSTS INCURRED. *NM

DT: THE CALLER'S VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT GOING 10 MPH WHEN IT STALLED. SHE COULD NOT GET IT STARTED ,AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALER. THE BATTERY LIGHT AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN SHE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, SHE WAS TOLD SHE COULD DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO OTHER INDICATION THAT THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. DEALER HAS VEHICLE NOW AND WILL CALL HER WHEN THEY HAVE CHECK IT. MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND WILL CALL HER BACK. *AK

I PURCHASED A NEW 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA 3.5 SL ON APRIL 2005, THE CAR CAUGHT FIRE WHILE PARKED IN MY GARAGE ON JULY 12, 2005 DUE TO A PINCHED WIRE STATED BY NISSAN. IT HAS NOW BEEN 6 WEEKS AND NISSAN IS STILL NOT DONE REPAIRING MY CAR. NISSAN REFUSES TO REPLACE THIS CAR WITH ANOTHER IDENTICAL CAR. NISSAN HAS NOT BEEN COOPERATIVE WITH ME ON THIS MATTER, THEY HAVE BEEN GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND ON THIS MATTER SINCE DAY ONE!!! NISSAN DID NOT OFFER TO GIVE ME A LOANER CAR, I HAD TO RENT A CAR MYSELF FOR 6 WEEKS STRAIGHT. NISSAN REFUSES TO PAY MY RENTAL EXPENSE AND THE DAMAGES DONE TO MY GARAGE DUE TO THIS FIRE. NISSAN ALSO REFUSES TO PAY FOR SMOKE DAMAGES TO MY HOUSE.

I HAVE A 2005 ALTIMA 3.5 SL. I STARTED NOTICING PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRES WITHIN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS. I HAD THE CAR ALIGNED AND THE TIRES ROTATED AROUND 9,000 MILES. THIS DID NOT FIXED THE VIBRATION ISSUE. THE CAR FEELS LIKE I'M DRIVING ON MARBLES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE RIGHT FRONT FENDER IS RATTLING. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY LOOKED AT THE CAR. THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES. I TOOK IT TO A TIRE DEALER, ONE BY ONE HAD EACH OF THE 4 TIRES REPLACED. I AM STILL HAVING ISSUES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS-CAR STILL FEELS LIKE RIDING ON MARBLES. I AM CONTACTING THE SERVICE DIRECTOR AT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN ON THIS PROBLEM NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS-I SUSPECT IS IT SOMETHING MECHANICAL.
