VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
I HAVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE ENGINE IDLE BECOMES ERRATIC AT TIMES, SOMETIMES WHEN YOU START IT THE IDLE WILL GO UP AND DOWN FROM 1000 TO 2100 CONTINUOUSLY. MOST OF THE TIME THE IDLE REMAINS HIGH WHEN YOU PUSH IN THE CLUTCH AROUND 1600RPM UNTIL YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. OTHER TIME THE IDLE GOES VERY LOW NEAR 400 RPM ALMOST TO A STALL CONDITION. NISSAN SAYS ITS NORMAL. I HAVE SEEN THIS SAME COMPLAINT NOT ONLY WITH THE ALTIMA BUT WITH THE NISSAN FRONTIER 2.4L WITH MANUAL AS WELL (SAME ENGINE AS THE ALTIMA).*AK

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAD A SEVERE PROBLEM MOVING THE TRANSMISSION FROM PARK TO DRIVE. THE SHIFT BOX IS POSITIONED DIRECTLY UNDER THE DRINK HOLDER. THE NISSAN REPAIR DEPARTMENT LOOKED AT THE SODA RESIDUE AND TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE SHIFT BOX FOR $350. I REFUSED AND THEY MADE AN UNAUTHORIZED CHARGE TO MY CREDIT CARD FOR $40. I SPRAYED A DROP OF CLEANER AND THE SHIFT HAS WORKED FLAWLESSLY EVER SINCE. NISSAN STOLE THE $40. *AK

AIR BAGS
MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL CUTS OFF ENGINE AND POWER. IF KEPT IN THE HIGHEST POSITION IT WILL START AND RUN. BUT IF ONE TRIES TO LOWER THE STEERING WHEEL, THE WHOLE CAR TURNS OFF. MOVING IT ALSO BLOWS THE IGNITION FUSE. OR THAT'S WHAT THE REPAIR MAN SAID. I AM FAIRLY SHORT AND FIND IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE IT THIS WAY. ALSO I'M CONCERNED AS TO IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO EVER DEPLOY, IT IS NOW AIMED DIRECTLY AT MY HEAD. AS FOR THE ACCIDENT ON 1/1/1999 WE WERE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHEN WE WERE REAR ENDED AND RAMMED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF US. NEITHER OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED DURING OR AFTER THE INCIDENT.*AK
