SUSPENSION:REAR
I OWN A 2001 NISSAN ALTIMA, BOUGHT BRAND NEW WITH 35,300 MILES ON IT. NATURALLY THE WARRANTY IS ABOUT TO EXPIRE AND I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE THE REAR BUSHINGS AND STABILIZER BARS HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE ALREADY. IS THIS A SAFETY CONCERN? IS THIS A COMMON PROBLEM? IS THERE A RECALL? WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS ONCE MY WARRANTY EXPIRES? *LA

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
DEFECT ROTOR: I HAVE BEING DRIVING MY ALTIMA 02 FOR 2 YEARS. THREE WEEKS AGO (22 MONTH), AT LESS THAN 17000 MILES, I TOOK MY CAR FOR A BRAKE CHECK BECAUSE IT MADE A LOT OF NOISE. THE TECHNICIAN AT PERFORMANCE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOUND THAT BOTH REAR ROTORS AND PADS NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THE FRONT ROTORS NEEDED TO BE CLEANED AND MACHINED. IT SURPRISED ME SINCE IT IS SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND MILEAGE. BY THE WAY, I PLACED A ORDER FOR REAR ROTORS FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN TX. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE TO PLACE A NATIONAL ORDER TO FIND THE PART, AND I HAVE TO WAIT FOR A UNKNOWN PERIOD OF TIME FOR THE PART TO COME IN. SO EVERYDAY, I HAVE TO WALK TO WORK. RUSTY GAS INTAKE PIPE: THERE IS A HOLE AT THE INTAKE ABOVE THE LEFT REAR TIRE, SO MUD AND WATER CAME IN DURING SNOW WEATHER, THEN THE INTAKE MOUTH BECAME RUSTY.*JB

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, TIRES
I PURCHASED A 1997 NISSAN ALTIMA USED WITH 15K MILES IN 1998, IT NOW HAS ABOUT 47K MILES, THE OTHER MORNING WHEN I WENT TO MY CAR THE PAINT WAS COMING OFF, I THOUGHT THAT SOMEONE HAD SCRAPED THE PAINT OFF THE HOOD OF MY CAR, I CALLED MY INS. CO AND THE REFERRED ME TO A DEALER. HE TOOK ONE LOOK AND SAID THAT THE TOP COAT WAS PEELING OFF THE PAINT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE SANDING AND IT WAS NOT COVERED BY MY INS. I HAVE HAD CAR MUCH OLDER THEN THIS ONE AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE, THEIR MUST BE A DEFECT IN THIS PAINT, IT IS COMPLETELY PEELING OFF AND IT HAPPENED ALMOST OVERNIGHT. I HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF THIS CAR, GETTING IT WASHED, WAXED & POLISHED. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME TYPE OF COMPENSATION ON THIS PROBLEM AND A RESPONSE FROM NISSAN MFG.
