2006 Nissan Altima

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, WHEN THE VEHICLE IDLED BETWEEN 750 TO 1000 AND THE BRAKES ARE ENGAGED, THERE WAS A NOISE PRESENT IN THE ENGINE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE MOTOR MOUNT; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE OCCURRED IMMEDIATELY AFTER IT WAS REPAIRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PART MAY NEED TIME TO ADJUST. AN APPOINTMENT WAS RESCHEDULED TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE ON JANUARY 7, 2008. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT TO LOOK FOR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 43000.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA ON JANUARY 10TH 2007 IT ONLY HAD 30 MILES ON IT, I LOVED THE CAR HAD MINOR PROBLEMS WITH NOISE ETC, HAD THE OIL CHANGED ON TIME THROUGH THE DEALER I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE ABOUT THE RECALL? A CAR PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF MY CAR SO MY FRONT END HIT THE SIDE OF HIS CAR AND MY CAR INSTANTLY CAUGHT ON FIRE? THE POLICE/FIRE DEPT CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHY IT CAUGHT ON FIRE BECAUSE MY CAR WAS TRAVELING THE SPEED LIMIT WHICH WAS 35 MPH? THEY THINK SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR AND THAT I SHOULD LOOK INTO A RECALL OR DEFECT ON THE VEHICLE I WISHED I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THE OIL RECALL BECAUSE MAYBE THIS IS WHY MY CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE IT IS A TOTAL LOSS I HAVE NO CAR AND NOW AM FIGHTING WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANIES TO GET A NEW CAR I DO NOT WANT A NISSAN ALTIMA AND THIS CAR WAS MY WISH CAR I REALLY LIKED THE ALTIMAS? *TR

I BOUGHT A NISSAN 2006 ALTIMA AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE MOTOR WAS A RECALL BUT HAD BEEN REPLACED WHEN I PURCHASED THE AUTO, SINCE THEN 1 YR LATER I HAD ANOTHER RECALL TO REPLACE THE MOTOR AGAIN. THE HEADLINER HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IT STILL HAS A SPOT WHERE I BELIEVE IT IS LEAKING. MY PICKUP AS IN THE MOTOR ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS IT TAKES TIME FOR IT TO MOVE. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN ON A REGULAR BASIS FOR OIL CHANGES, ROTATION OF TIRES ETC. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE MOTOR OF THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA IN NOVEMBER OF 2005. I HAVE NOW HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS. I JUST CAME ACROSS 2 RECALLS ONLINE BY ACCIDENT. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THESE RECALLS AND THEY BOTH APPEAR TO BE VERY SERIOUS. 1- (#06V223000) FROM JUNE 2006 INVOLVING "ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING" THAT LISTS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND POSSIBLY ENGINE FIRE AND 2- (06V0046000) FROM FEB. 2006 INVOLVING REAR SUSPENSION AND POSSIBLY A CRACKED BRACKET. I HAVE HAD TO ADD PLENTY OF OIL SINCE BUYING THIS CAR, BUT CANNOT BELIEVE I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT A SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD AS THIS, NOT TO MENTION THE DAMAGE IT MUST HAVE ALREADY CAUSED TO THE ENGINE!! WHAT DO I DO NOW AND WHAT CAN BE DONE TO THIS OBVIOUS TERRIBLE SHADY DEALERSHIP AND UNFORGIVABLE MANUFACTURER?? *TR

ON 10/22/06 I PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA IN VA. IT HAS A REMANUFACTORED ENGINE AND ONLY HAD 35 MILES. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT 3,400 MILES AND MOVED BACK TO GA. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE PB023 QR25 ALT-SER MY06 NTB06-082 IN MAY 2007. I TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT AND THEY CHANGED THE OIL (ODO 7,473). I HAD THE OIL CHANGED ON 9/1/2007 (ODO 11,885). ON 10/20/07, DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE SUDDENLY THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM EVERYWHERE AND THE ENGINE DIED. THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO GO UP IN FLAMES. IT SMELL AS IF THE ENGINE WAS BURNING. (ODO 13,791). IT WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THE IT THREW A ROD AND THERE IS A HOLE THE SIZE OF A FIST IN THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE WILL BE REPLACED. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND ENGINE IN THIS VEH. I WOULD LIKE A NEW VEHICLE REPLACEMENT OR BE REFUNDED IN FULL. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE AND FEAR IT WILL CATCH FIRE. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT! I WAS ASSURED WHEN PURCHASED THAT THE ENGINE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN RESOLVED AND WERE NO LONGER AN ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP WOULD STAND BEHIND THE ENGINE 100%. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. HE STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BURNS OIL EXCESSIVELY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE THE VEHICLE PASSED OIL CONSUMPTION AND COMPRESSION TESTS. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE ENGINE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 06V223000) HOWEVER, THE DEALER REFUSED TO MAKE ANY REPAIRS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE PASSED THE TEST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 16,837. THE CONSUMER PROVIDED MULTIPLE REPAIR INVOICES FOR VEHICLE AND A COPY OF THE RECALL NOTICE. UPDATED 08/30/07 *TR

CAR SHAKES WHEN IDLES AS IF IT WILL TURN OFF, BUT ONLY SPORADICALLY. THIS STARTED AT 24,000 MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON THROWING VARIOUS CODES. DEALER HAS PUT ON NEW GAS CAP, GAS SEAL, FUEL PUMP, FUEL CANISTER AND AIR FLOW REGULATOR. CAR STILL SHAKING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AGAIN AND AFTER 11 TIMES IN THE SHOP...HERE WE GO AGAIN TO THE SHOP SO THEY CAN CHECK THE CODE, PUT IN ON VACUUM, DRIVE IT AROUND AND THEN TELL ME AGAIN IT'S ALL FIXED. I AM IN A NEVER ENDING LOOP OF BEING INCONVENIENCED WITH AN UNRELIABLE BRAND NEW CAR. DEALER WON'T BUY CAR BACK...TRADE...OR GUARANTEE A FIX. I JUST PRAY AFTER MY WARRANTY IS OVER, I CAN STILL GET IT FIXED. *JB
