TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I PURCHASED A 2008 ALTIMA FROM BILL RAY NISSAN (SANDFORD FL) IN OCT 07. AFTER ONLY 25,000 MILES THE TIRES (CONTINENTAL CONTI PRO 215/60R-16 94T) BEGAN TO MAKE A LOUD NOISE. LUCKILY I PURCHASED A TIRE WARRANTY FROM DISCOUNT TIRE COMPANY SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. OF COURSE THERE WAS NOTHING THAT NISSAN COULD DO ABOUT THE TIRES. THIS WAS DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE TIRE COMPANY WHICH WILL ONLY WARRANTY THE TIRES FOR MANUFACTURE 'DEFECTS'.I DIDN'T WANT TO WAIT FOR THE TIRES TO FALL APART AT HWY SPEEDS. SO WITH MY EXTRA INSURANCE THROUGH DISCOUNT TIRE COMPANY THEY WERE ABLE TO PRORATE THE TIRES AND NOW I'M DRIVING ON SOME VERY QUIET TIRES FROM YOKOHAMA (215/60R-16 95H) WITH 33,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I'LL NEVER GO BACK TO CONTINENTAL TIRES. *TR

SEATS
I PURCHASED A NEW 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA IN MARCH 2008 AND SHORTLY AFTER THE SEAT STARTED TO SQUIRM FROM SIDE TO SIDE IN TURNS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED THE SEAT RAILS WHICH FIXED THE PROBLEM. APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH LATER THE SEAT STARTED THE SAME BEHAVIOR WHEN CORNERING. I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. MY SEAT IS NOW BECOMING MORE AND MORE LOOSE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND PROBLEM. REFER TO THIS SITE: HTTP://WWW.NISSANCLUB.COM/FORUMS/NEW-2007-2008-NISSAN-ALTIMA-DISCUSSION/268078-DOES-YOUR-DRIVER-SEAT-SQUIRM.HTML APPROXIMATELY 71 PERCENT OF 216 CUSTOMERS POLLED REPORT THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS POSSIBLE THE OTHER CUSTOMERS DO NOT HAVE POWER SEATS AS I. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE IN THE POWER SEAT ASSEMBLY. *TR

SEATS, AIR BAGS
DRIVER'S SEAT ON '08 NISSAN ALTIMA MOVES SIDE TO SIDE AS YOU GO AROUND TURNS; VERY DISCONCERTING. FIRST RESPONSE FROM DEALERSHIP WAS "WE CAN NOT REPLICATE, AND THIS IS THE FIRST ONE WE'VE HEARD OF". NEXT VISIT I WAS TOLD "NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND SHOULD HAVE A FIX IN 30 DAYS OR SO". THAT WAS 45 DAYS AGO. 2ND PROBLEM, MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON A LOT OF THE TIME MY WIFE IS SEATED IN THE SEAT. SHE'S ABOUT 150 POUNDS, SO THERE SHOULD NOT BE A WEIGHT PROBLEM. HAD IT IN TWICE FOR THIS, AND ANOTHER "CAN NOT REPLICATE". I'M CONCERNED THAT IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION, SHE WILL HAVE NO AIR BAG PROTECTION. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S. MY CAR HAS 140K MILES AND I HAVE AN IMPECCABLE SERVICE RECORD AND HAVE ALL OF MY RECEIPTS FROM EVERY OIL CHANGE AND SERVICE I HAVE EVER DONE--ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY AT NISSAN DEALERS. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO I NOTICED THAT MY CAR BEGAN BURNING OIL VERY QUICKLY. IT WAS NOT LEAKING OIL AT ALL, I JUST STARTED GOING THROUGH A QUART OF OIL EVERY WEEK. THE ENGINE ALSO BEGAN TO RUN ROUGH SOMETIMES. SO I BROUGHT IT IN TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER TO BE FIXED. I PAID $1200 AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM (REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, ETC). HOWEVER, THE CAR STILL USED A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF OIL (BUT DOES NOT LEAK OIL) AND RUNS ROUGH. IT NOW ALSO RUNS AT A HIGH TEMPERATURE (MAXED OUT ON THE THERMOSTAT) AND I GET NO HOT AIR OUT OF MY VENTS. SO I BROUGHT IT BACK IN TO THE SAME NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. THIS TIME, THEY TELL ME THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I DECIDED TO LOOK ONLINE FOR OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE LITERALLY FOUND HUNDREDS (IF NOT THOUSANDS) OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH 2002 NISSAN ALITMA 2.5 ENGINES WHO HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THE 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S THAT CAUSES THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER TO FAIL AND THEN TEAR APART THE ENGINE. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 AND HAS HAPPENED TO MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR. NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DESIGN FLAW IN THEIR CAR AND REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE ENGINES FOR ALL PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT THE 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S. IT IS CLEARLY A DESIGN FLAW WITH THEIR CAR AND THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND YOU NEED TO ACT NOW BEFORE MORE CONSUMERS ARE TAKEN BY NISSAN ON THIS PROBLEM! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE HESITATED AS IF IT WERE ABOUT TO SHUT OFF. WHILE ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE AS WELL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2002, 2005, AND 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA'S, BUT NONE PERTAINING TO THE 2003 MODEL. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE CRANKSHAFT FAILURES, BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE 2003 MODEL; THEREFORE, THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

THE ENGINE STOPPED WHILE DRIVING. SEVERAL TIMES THE ENGINE STOPPED ON RED LIGHT. THE LAST TIME WAS TODAY 09/11/2008. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2002 MODEL RELATED TO THE SAME PROBLEM. IN SOME WAY 2003 OWNERS WILL BENEFIT FOR THE SAME OR SIMILAR RECALL? *TR

ENGINE LIGHT. SEE SERVICE BULLETON 06009. NHTSA# 100119613. CANNOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM. DEALER REPLACED BATTERY, THEN WANTED TO REPLACE IPDM. HAD CAR CHECKED BY AAA CERTIFIED SHOP. CANNOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH NOW I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH HOW CAR RUNS. AM AFRAID CAR WILL STALL ON HIGH WAY. SEVERAL MECHANICS STATED THAT THEY BELIEVE THE DEALER IS GUESSING ON THE DIAGNOSIS. NO CODES EXCEPT U1000 AND U1001 ARE BEING STORED IN COMPUTER. I HAVE SPENT SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TRYING TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM. THIS AFFECT ALL 2002-2006 NISSAN. CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE DEALER MADE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS TO THE SENSORS TO MAKE THE LIGHT DIM. WHEN THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR ROUTINE BRAKE MAINTENANCE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE WAS RUSTED. THE CONTACT WAS HESITANT TO TOUCH THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF RUST AND FEARED THAT SOMETHING WOULD FAIL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THIS SUMMER, I VISITED CROWN NISSAN IN HOOVER, ALABAMA TO ADDRESS PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING WITH MY CAR. SPECIFICALLY, MY 'SERVICE ENGINE SOON' LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING, AFTER MY CAR TRIED REPEATEDLY TO STALL. (THIS HAD HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE, WITHOUT THE LIGHT COMING ON.) WHILE THERE, I WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL, THE FIXING OF WHICH WAS DESIGNED TO PREVENT THAT VERY PROBLEM. THE NEXT DAY, I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND IT STALLED OUT (WITHOUT THE LIGHT COMING ON), AND I IMMEDIATELY CALLED CROWN'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WHEN THE RECALL DID NOT ADDRESS THE STALLING, AND IT WAS USUALLY THE CAM AND CRANKSHAFT POSITIONING SENSOR. I ASKED WHY NISSAN USA DID NOT RECALL THE CAM AND CRANKSHAFT POSITIONING SENSOR, IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THEY HAD NO SAY IN THAT. SO I CALLED NISSAN USA, ALERTED THEM TO THE PROBLEM, AND ASKED THAT THEY OPEN UP A FILE FOR ME, AS I THOUGHT THEY SHOULD RECALL THE CAM SENSOR, IF IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE PROBLEM. AFTER SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT THE CAM /CRANK SHAFT POSITIONING SENSOR WAS RECALLED IN CERTAIN 2002-2003 ALTIMAS. FINALLY, MY CAR KEPT STALLING UNTIL THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT NISSAN DEALERSHIP (DUE TO OTHER ISSUES WITH CROWN). IT WAS THERE I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAM/CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN ASKED IF THIS WAS CUSTOMARY, I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALTIMAS LIKE MINE, FOR WHICH THE RECALL FAILED TO PREVENT THE PROBLEM. AGAIN, I ASKED WHY THIS CAM/CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS NOT RECALLED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM TO HAVE ON THE ROAD. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT UP WITH NISSAN USA. I CALLED NISSAN USA AND REQUESTED A REFUND, AND ASKED THAT THEY RECALL THE PART. MY CASE WAS ASSIGNED TO A FIELD REP, WHO HAS NEVER CALLED ME. AFTER NO RESPONSE TO MY CALLS, I SENT A LETTER DEMANDING A REFUND AND A RECALL. NO RESPONSE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
MY COMPLAINT IS THE SAME AS ABOUT 50 OTHER COMPLAINTS I FOUND ON THIS SITE. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER TO GET IT FIXED, WE WERE TOLD THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERT FAILED AND THE ENGINE INGESTED PARTICLES THAT SCORED THE CYLINDER HEADS. NOW THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WE CONTACTED NISSAN TO SEE IF THEY WOULD HELP DIFFER THE COST OF THE REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS PAST THE 80,000 MI. WARRANTY PERIOD AND WE DID NOT BUY ENOUGH NISSAN VEHICLES IN THE PAST TO WARRANT ANY GOOD WILL. IN FACT THE REGION NISSAN REP REFUSED TO EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SHE HAD HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE EVEN THOUGH THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY SEE A LARGE NUMBER OF THIS SAME PROBLEM EVERY YEAR. IN READING RECALLS LIKE 03V084000, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT NISSAN HAS AGREED TO REPAIR VOLUNTARILY, BUT IS NOW NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR AGREEMENT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO TO PERSUADE NISSAN TO HELP OUT. ALSO, MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING ALL OF THE SYMPTOMS OF THE 03V455000 RECALL BUT THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT THIS RECALL WAS ALREADY PERFORMED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. EVEN THE DEALERS OWN DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOWS THE P0335 CKP SENSOR CIRCUIT ERROR CODE IS STILL A PROBLEM. CAN A RECALL BE PERFORMED TWICE IF A FAILURE OCCURS AGAIN? THE INFO PROVIDE IN YOUR DESCRIPTION OF THE REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL SEEMS TO INDICATE THAT THE CIRCUIT BOARDS INSTALLED UNDER THE PREVIOUS RECALL 01V357 WERE STILL DEFECTIVE. WHAT SHOULD I DO? *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE CAR SEEMS TO NOT START ONCE IT RAN FOR A SHORT TIME. EXAMPLE I DRIVE TO THE SUPERMARKET TURNS ON FINE, ONCE I LEAVE IT IS HARD TO START. ALMOST SEEM TO BE FLOODED. IT USE TO DO IT ONCE A WEEK KNOW ITS DOING IT EVERYDAY. JUST RECENTLY I WAS DRIVING AND IT TURNED OFF ON ME. FROM THE NISSAN BLOGS IT LOOKS LIKE THIS YEAR HAS BEEN GIVING PROBLEMS. ANOTHER COMPLAIN IS THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS THEY ARE FADED OR STAIN FROM INSIDE, THIS COULD CAUSE A VISIBILITY ISSUE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I TOOK MY NISSAN ALTIMA IN FOR REPAIR FOR THE RECALL ON IT IN JAN 08 AND WHEN I PICKED UP MY CAR I CB THE NEXT DAY AND ADVISE THEM THAT MY CAR WAS NOT RUNNING CORRECTLY, IT HAS CONTINUE TO GET WORST I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR IN FOR REPAIR ON AUG 20 BECAUSE MY CAR STALLS WHILE MY CAR IS IN MOTION AND THE ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND OFF. THEY CALL ME BACK ON 8/22 AND SAID THAT IT WAS THE SPEEDO CLUSTER AND IT HAS BEEN FIXED CHARGED 420.00. 2 WEEKS LATER MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON AND MY CAR IS STILL STALLING. I FEEL AS IF MY CAR IS GOING TO CUT OFF WHILE I'M ON THE INTERSTATE AND CAUSE A ACCIDENT OR WORST MY LIFE. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THEM AND THEY WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBLY FOR NOT FIXING MY CAR CORRECTLY THEY SAID THAT THE COMPUTER IS SAYING SOMETHING DIFFERENT NOW THAT WHAT THE COMPUTER SAID 2 WEEKS AGO BUT I ADVISE THEM THAT I DID NOT BRING MY CAR THERE FOR AN EXPERIMENT IT WAS TAKEN THERE TO FIX THE STALLING AND ITS STILL DO THE SAME THING. I ASKED THEM FOR MY MONEY BACK SO I CAN GET MY CAR FIX ELSE WHERE. SHEEHY NISSAN OF GLEN BURNIE ALSO SAYS THAT THEY THINK IT MAY BE MY CRANK SENSOR BUT THIS IS WHY I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE RECALL BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING THAT IS NOW HAPPENING WITH MY CAR. I PULL UP HISTORY ON THE NISSAN ALTIMA AND A LOT OF CUSTOMER ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER THEY TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIR ON THE RECALL THE ENGINE LIGHT AND STALLING HAPPENS WITH YOUR VEHICLE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND THEY ARE TAKING IT LIKELY. IT STARTED OUT STALLING AROUND ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK NOW ITS DOING IT EVERYDAY AND THE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. *TR
