I HAD MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA AT MY LOCAL MECHANIC TO HAVE SOME RATTLING UNDERNEATH MY CAR LOOKED AT. THERE WAS A LOOSE HEAT SHIELD THAT THE MECHANIC FIXED AND HE ALSO NOTIFIED ME THAT THERE WERE LARGE AREAS OF RUST ALONG BOTH FLOORBOARDS. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED AND WASHED IN THE WINTER. THE LAST TIME THE CAR WAS AT THERE MECHANIC, THERE WAS NO RUST EVIDENT. UNFORTUNATELY MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND I WOULD LIKE NISSAN TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR IN TO MIDAS, BURLINGTON, MA FOR BRAKE ASSISTANCE, AND WHILE UP ON THE LIFT THE TECHNICIAN POINTED OUT THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER FLOOR PANEL WAS VERY RUSTED. WARNED NOT TO USE THAT SPOT WHEN JACKING UP THE CAR WHEN CHANGING A TIRE, ETC. (MENTALLY ADD THIS TO $$ TO SPEND THIS YEAR...) HAD MY CAR AT NTB IN CAMBRIDGE, MA TO CHECK A FRONT END RATTLE AND THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME THE RUST AGAIN. HE IS ALSO A STATE SAFETY INSPECTOR AND WANTED TO LET ME KNOW SINCE IT WAS RUSTED THOUGH IT WOULD NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION (DUE IN AUGUST). NEXT STOP WAS A LOCAL BODY SHOP AND THE ESTIMATE WAS $2K. THEN SAW SO MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM FOR THE ALTIMA. I FEEL THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND SHOULD BE PAID FOR BY NISSAN. MY CAR IS WELL CARE FOR AND MAINTAINED AND IS ROTTING!! *TR

ENGINE
ENGINE WAS CONSUMING OIL AT AN ACCELERATED RATE (1+ QT PER 2,000+ MILES). DEALERSHIP CONDUCTED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BEGINNING DECEMBER 2011. IT APPEARS THAT WHEN THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER GOES OUT, IT SUCKS IN PIECES OF THE CONVERTER SUBSTRATE DURING THE NEGATIVE CYCLE. THE SMALL PIECES OF THE CONVERTER THEN SCORE THE CYLINDER WALLS. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF THE DEALERSHIP MONITORING THE OIL CONSUMPTION, I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A SECOND OPINION. THE CYLINDER COMPRESSION TEST INDICATED THE FIRST CYLINDER WAS AT ABOUT 82 PSI AND THE OTHER THREE CYLINDERS RANGED FROM 111 TO 118 PSI. BACK AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FIRST CYLINDER IS THE ONE THAT IS INITIALLY DAMAGED BY THE PRE-CATALYST OVERHEATING. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS HAS TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN GETTING A NEW ENGINE BECAUSE I DID NOT GET A WARRANTY WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR USED, AND ALSO BECAUSE THE MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AT 90,000 MILES WAS NOT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP (NISSAN CASE # 8897586). THE CAR IS SUFFERING THE EFFECTS IDENTIFIED ON NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 03V084000. THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THE ENGINE COULD CATCH ON FIRE AS IDENTIFIED IN THE CAMPAIGN. I HAVE METICULOUSLY RECORDED ALL OF THE REPAIRS AND OIL CHANGES TO THE CAR, ONLY TO HAVE NISSAN TELL ME THAT THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE ME WITH ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THIS ISSUE. IT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE PRE-CATALYST OVERHEATING AND SUBSEQUENTLY CASING GRAVE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. THANK YOU. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
BROUGHT VEHICLE TO NISSAN DEALER IN TEWKSBURY, MA FOR DIAGNOSTIC. (TAPPING NOISE WHEN I START THE CAR) THEY FOUND SOME REPAIRS NECESSARY BUT TOLD ME THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE TAPPING SOUND WAS. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND HE ADVISED THAT IT "SOUNDED" LIKE THE TIMING CHAIN. HE DID NOT WORK ON THE CAR AND TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK TO THE DEALER, WHICH I DID. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME I COULD BRING THE CAR TO ANOTHER DEALER AND HAVE ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC DONE. AT A COST OF ANOTHER $110.00 TO BE PAID BY ME. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS LITTLE OIL IN THE ENGINE AND THIS IS WHY THE TIMING CHAIN "WENT". I HAVE PAID $2500.00 OUT OF POCKET TO GET MY CAR FIXED. I NEED THE CAR AND WAS TWO MONTHS WITHOUT IT. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. TWO MONTHS BEFORE THE TIMING CHAIN WENT NISSAN DID AN OIL CHANGE FOR ME ALONG WITH SOME OTHER REPAIRS. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR AND DO NOT BELIEVE THAT OIL WAS THE PROBLEM I HAVE ALL MY DOCUMENTS REGARDING REPAIRS AND OIL CHANGES AND WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO CHECK INTO THIS FOR ME.

ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING THE CAR NORMALLY WHEN I NOTICED THE LIGHT " CHECK ENGINE SOON" TURNED ON. I STOPPED THE CAR AT TIRES PLUS AND ASKED TO CHECK THE OIL. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THERE WAS NO OIL CIRCULATION. I WAS ADVISED TO NOT DRIVE THE CAR AND TOW IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER. TIRES PLUS ALSO PROVIDED ME WITH A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED BY NISSAN (CLASSIFICATION EC07-014, REFERENCE # NTB08-17, ISSUED ON JANUARY 22ND, 2008) REPORTING PROBLEMS WITH THE IVT SOLENOID VALVE FOR SOME VEHICLESMANUFACTURED IN 2008. MY VIN WAS INCLUDED IN THAT RANGE OF VINS INFORMED IN THE TECHNICAL BULLETIN. I TOWED THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND CONTACTED CONSUMER AFFAIRS. NISSAN IS REJECTING THE CLAIM BECAUSE THE CAR IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY. ALSO, NISSAN IS SAYING THAT THE PROBLEM WAS ABSENCE OF OIL AND THEY FOUND SLUDGE. THEY ARE ASKING ME ASSUME THE COSTS IF THEY OPEN THE ENGINE TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM.I AM AFRAID THAT THE ENGINE IS DAMAGED. *TR

SEATS
THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS CROOKED - BOTH ACROSS THE BACK AND ACROSS THE SEAT. THIS MEANS ONE'S SHOULDERS AND TORSO ARE TWISTED AND FACING THE CENTER CONSOLE, NOT THE STEERING WHEEL. HIPS ARE UNEVEN WITH THE RIGHT SIDE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN THE LEFT. THIS IS A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND PAINFUL POSITION TO BE IN. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT ALL 2012 ALTIMAS ARE LIKE THIS AND THEREFORE IT IS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM! I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE THE BACK OF THE SEAT IS IN FACT CROOKED IN THE MORE THAN TWO DOZEN EXAMPLES I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CHECK. HOWEVER, THE SEAT BOTTOM IS NOT SUPPOSED TO SAG OR BE UNEVEN ON EITHER SIDE. I'VE CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THE DEALERSHIP IS MY ONLY AVENUE TO PURSUE A REMEDY. DUE TO THE DEALERSHIP'S DETERMINATION THAT THE SEAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE CROOKED MY CHOICES ARE PAY SOMEONE ELSE OR TRY MYSELF TO SHIM THE ENTIRE SEAT OR TRY TO ADJUST THE MECHANISM UNDERNEATH TO LEVEL THE BOTTOM. NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THE SEAT BACK... *TR

POWER TRAIN
DRIVING ON I-4 TRANSMISSION HEARD A "POP" SOUND, CAR HAD A HARD TIME GOING FROM A STOPPED POSITION TO MOVING. ADDED TRANSMISSION FLUID, WORKED FINE UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED. CAR ONCE ACCELERATED SEEMED TO ACCELERATE FASTER WITHOUT ME PUSHING ON THE ACCELERATOR. PURCHASED CAR 2 YRS AGO AND NOTICED A RANDOM HARD SHIFT EITHER WHEN ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING, NO MAJOR PROBLEMS TO TAKE IT ANYWHERE. HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED AND FLUSHED SEEMED TO HELP PROBLEM UNTIL NOW. I HAVE 3 KIDS AND WITH THE PROBLEMS OF THIS NATURE COULD HAVE A SERIOUS IMPACT ON US FINANCIALLY NOT TO MENTION IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING. OUR SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS COULD BE AT JEOPARDY. *TR

STEERING
MY 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA WOULD NOT START. VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH FACTORY INTELLIGENT KEY STARTING SYSTEM ,AND THE INTELLIGENT KEY WARNING LIGHT WOULD BLINK ON THE DASH.I LOOKED UP THE CODE IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. IT STATED STEERING LOCK MALFUNCTIONING. I HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO NEAREST NISSAN DEALER. A FAULTY STEERING LOCK CONTROL UNIT (PART #48700-9N00B) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WITH PARTS ($470.00) AND LABOR ($300.00) PLUS TAXES THE TOTAL COST FOR THIS REPAIR IS $730.00. THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON COSTLY ISSUE WITH 2008-2009 NISSAN ALTIMA'S AND OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES PRODUCED IN THOSE YEARS. A RECALL SHOULD BE STARTED!

TODAY WHILE PERFORMING AN OIL CHANGE ON MY GIRLFRIENDS 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA I NOTICED A LARGE HOLE IN THE FLOOR OF THE CAR. THERE IS A LARGE RUSTED OUT HOLE, ONLY ON ONE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE THAT GOES COMPLETELY THROUGH TO THE INSIDE. IN EXACTLY THE SAME PLACE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE CAR THERE IS NO RUST AT ALL. THIS CAR IS WASHED REGULARLY, AND HAS NO RUST ON THE PAINTWORK ANYWHERE. UPON LOOKING IT UP ON THE INTERNET THERE APPEARS TO BE MANY MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE, AND NISSAN IS TRYING TO COVER IT UP AND NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT OF PARTS THAT ARE CLEARLY DEFECTIVE. PLEASE HELP ME HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

AFTER JACKING UP MY MOTHER'S CAR FOR AN OIL CHANGE, WHILE I WAS PLACING JACK STANDS BEHIND THE FRONT WHEELS IN THE APPROPRIATE JACKING POINTS, I NOTICED THAT THE FLOOR PANELS LOOKED SWOLLEN UNDERNEATH THE RUST PROOFING MATERIAL. I BEGAN TO POKE AT IT WITH MY FINGER, AND MY FINGER PUSHED THROUGH THE RUST PROOFING AND ALL KINDS OF SEVERELY RUSTED METAL BEGAN TO FALL OUT ON THE GARAGE FLOOR. THE STEEL FLOOR PANEL, HAD BASICALLY TURNED TO RUSTED DUST. I WAS ABLE TO PUSH MY FINGER UP THROUGH THE FLOOR PANEL UNTIL I COULD FEEL THE BOTTOM OF THE CARPET. NOTICING NO OTHER RUST ANYWHERE ELSE NEAR BY, I FIGURED IT HAD TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, SO I DECIDED TO CHECK THE DRIVER'S SIDE SAME LOCATION, AND SURE ENOUGH, WAS ABLE TO PUSH MY FINGER THROUGH THE RUST PROOFING AND THROUGH ROTTED STEEL LIKE IT WAS NOTHING. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AS THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO RUST ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE CAR. THE CAR HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE, AND HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED, AS WELL AS GARAGE KEPT. NISSAN NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, AND A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL INCIDENCES WHERE WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE & TRYING TO START THE CAR (BY THE PUSH START IGNITION) THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER. ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IN THE VEHICLE WILL TURN ON (RADIO, POWER WINDOWS, AIR, ETC) BUT THE CAR WILL NOT START. I'VE HAD THE BATTERY TESTED NUMEROUS TIMES AND IT ALWAYS PASSES AS A GOOD BATTERY. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND SEVERAL FORUMS WHERE OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2008 NISSAN ALTIMAS. FROM THE SOUNDS OF IT, IT MIGHT BE A PROBLEM WITH A BRAKE CABLE. WITH AS MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT I'VE SEEN ON THIS, HOW COME THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ISSUED? *TR

AIR BAGS, SEATS
THE PASSENGER SEAT DOES NOT ALWAYS DETECT AN ADULT SITTING IN THE SEAT. THE "PASSENGER AIRBAG NOT ON" LIGHT COMES ON, SOMETIMES FLICKERS ON AND OFF AND ON AGAIN, WHEN AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THAT SEAT. THE SYMPTOMS APPEAR TO BE IDENTICAL TO CAMPAIGN 08V521000, BUT NISSAN SAYS MY VIN IS NOT EFFECTED. THE AIRBAG HAS NOT DEPLOYED, SO I HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW IF IT WILL WORK OR NOT, BUT SINCE THERE IS A PARTIAL RECALL UNDERWAY FOR THIS VERY THING, I BELIEVE THAT THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. *TR

THE REAR SWAY BAR ON MY 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA IS BROKEN. I DRIVE LESS THAN 6,000 MILES PER YEAR, AND RARELY IN BAD WEATHER CONDITIONS. I WAS TOLD THIS IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS, BUT I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA SWAY BAR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING IT CAN HAPPEN WHEN NOT DRIVING THAT MANY MILES (I ONLY KNEW TO HAVE IT CHECKED BECAUSE I PARKED ON A HILL AND COULD SEE SOMETHING HANGING FROM MY CAR. OTHERWISE, WITH THE LIMITED NUMBER OF MILES I DRIVE, I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD MY CAR CHECKED, AND WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING A HAZARDOUS VEHICLE THIS WHOLE TIME). *JS
