EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I RECEIVED A LETTER ASKING ME TO BRING MY CAR FOR THE ENGINE RECALL ON MY '06 NISSAN ALTIMA. UNFORTUNATELY MY VEHICLE WAS AFFECTED, IF I DIDN'T PROCEED WITH THE RECALL REQUEST MY VEHICLE COULD LEAD TO AN ENGINE FIRE. MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR LESS THAN 24HOURS, IT'S ENGINE WAS REPLACED WITH A RE-BUILT ENGINE. I DO NOT KNOW IF OLD ENGINE IS AVAILABLE. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, STEERING
I PURCHASED A 2006 ALTIMA NISSAN 2.5 SPECIAL EDITION IN FEB 2006. WITHIN A 6 MONTHS TIME FRAME I HAVE HAD 2 ENGINE REPLACEMENTS. THIS STILL HASN'T CORRECTED THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM NOR THE CLICKING SOUND. I HAVE ALSO BEEN INFORMED THAT THE CLICKING AND GRINDING SOUND MAY BE ATTRIBUTED TO BAD TIRES. SO I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER COMPANY THAT DEALS IN TIRES AND WAS INFORMED MY TIRES WERE IN GREAT CONDITION. THEN ON JAN 22 I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW STEERING WHEEL TO HELP WITH THE SOUND AND VIBRATIONS. MY NISSAN SOUNDS AND RIDES LIKE A TRUCK. NISSAN NEEDS TO JUST LIVE UP TO THE FACT THAT SOME OF THE 2006 MODELS WERE JUST NOT BUILT CORRECTLY AND COMPENSATE THE CONSUMERS THAT ARE FEELING THE AFFECTS OF BUYING A LEMON.. WHY WOULD THEY PUT THEIR REPUTATION IN JEOPARDY. DO THEY NOT REALIZE THIS COULD TURN INTO A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. SEVERAL OF MY FRIENDS HAVE HAD THEIR CARS BOUGHT BACK UNDER THE LEMON LAW BUT I'M GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM ONE OF THE NISSAN REPS. IT DOESN'T TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO KNOW THAT AFTER REPLACING 2 ENGINES IN A 6 MONTH PERIOD TO KNOW MY CAR IS A LEMON.. NISSAN HAS LOST MY RESPECT DUE TO THE NON CARING NATURE THEY HAVE REPRESENTED. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
MY NISSAN ALTIMA SE 2006 HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE GAS CAP IS SO TIGHT THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TAKE IT OFF WITHOUT HURTING YOURSELF. MOST OF THE TIME I NEED TO GET THE GAS STATION ATTENDANT TO REMOVE IT AND HE ALSO HAS A HARD TIME. ON SUNDAY I TRIED TO GET SOME GAS AND THE GAS CAP WOULDN'T COME OFF AT ALL. MONDAY THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT BECAUSE OF THE PLASTIC AND SPRING DESIGN THEY HAVE A TENDENCY OF BRAKING AND YET THEY REPLACED WITH THE SAME TYPE OF GAS CAP. TODAY I TRIED TO REFUEL AND AGAIN I COULDN'T GET THE GAS CAP OFF AND HAD TO GO BACK IN TO A DIFFERENT NISSAN DEALER. WHY NOT JUST CHANGE THE DESIGN SO THAT IT DOESN'T BRAKE? *NM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I WAS RECENTLY CONTACTED VIA PHONE THAT MY NISSAN ALTIMA MAY BE PART OF A NATIONAL RECALL FROM NISSAN MOTORS USA. [HOW COME I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY MAIL NOTIFICATION?] I BROUGHT MY CAR IN NOVEMBER/ 2006. THUS, I CALLED AND BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALER [WONDRIES NISSAN]. THE SERVICE MANAGER ASSURED ME THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WOULD RUN A SERIES OF TEST AND IT SHOULDN'T TAKE LONGER THAN A DAY TO FINISH. AS A RESULT I BROUGHT MY CAR IN ON A MONDAY MORNING, AND GUESS WHAT? IT'S STILL THERE. IT'S BEEN THREE DAYS. END OF THE FIRST DAY, HE TOLD ME IT'S A HUGE RECALL AND A LOT OF TEST NEEDS TO BE RUN. [HE COULDN'T TOLD ME THAT DURING THE TIME I BROUGHT IT IN SO NISSAN CAN GIVE ME RENTAL CAR FOR MY TROUBLE.] SINCE THE TIMING WAS BAD, I COULDN'T GET A RENTAL CAR. AT THE END OF THE SECOND DAY, THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE TESTING WAS DONE SUCCESSFULLY, BUT WHEN THEY TRIED TO REPROGRAM THE ECM IT IS NOT WORKING. [AGAIN, IT'S TOWARD THE END OF THE DAY, I COULD NOT MAKE IT IN TIME TO GET A RENTAL CAR] NOW, IT'S THE 3RD DAY, AND THEY SAID THEY WILL CALL ME BACK TO GIVE ME AN UPDATE AS SOON AS THEY FIND OUT WHAT IS THE STATUS OF MY VEHICLE. WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY WILL TELL ME NEXT. I AM CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND OTHER CONSUMERS WHO HAD BROUGHT THEIR CAR IN FOR THE RECALL ENGINE INSPECTION. I AM PRETTY SURE THEY PROMISE EVERY 2006 NISSAN OWNER THAT IT WOULD TAKE A DAY TO ACCOMPLISH THE TEST, BUT IT'S BEEN 3 LONG INCONVENIENT DAYS FOR ME AS A NISSAN OWNER. WONDRIES NISSAN IS NOT TOO ATTENTIVE TO MY CONCERNS AND MY DAILY WORK SCHEDULE. I HOPE SOMEONE FROM NHTSA CAN LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND CHECK WHY IT WOULD TAKE THEM MORE THAN 2 DAYS TO PERFORM TESTS ON THEIR [CLAIMED] NATIONAL RECALL. I APPRECIATE THE WORK NHTSA IS DOING FOR AUTOMOBILE OWNERS NATIONWIDE. SINCERELY, [XXX]. *NM INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2006 ALTIMA JUNE 2006, I LOVED MY CAR FROM THE DAY IT WAS PURCHASED, UNTIL RECENTLY WHEN MY BRAKES STARTED TO MAKE THAT ANNOYING SQUEAKING NOISE I THOUGHT TOO MYSELF, WOW HOW CAN THIS BE, MY CAR IS ONLY FIVE MONTHS OLD. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF IT MUST BE THE WAY I AM STEPPING ON THE BRAKE, BUT TO MY SURPRISE THE NEXT AFTERNOON I RECEIVED IN THE MAIL RECALL INFORMATION, I READ IT OVER AND WAS DISGUSTED, I JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND I AM BEING TOLD MY ENGINE MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED AND HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION WILL OCCUR AND POSSIBLY A FIRE!! I WAS VERY UPSET I WAS TO CONTACT THE DEALER BUT THIS ALL OCCURRED DURING THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY, SO I DROVE MY SISTER HONDA SUV FOR THE HOLIDAY, MY CAR SAT WITHOUT BEING DRIVEN FOR ABOUT FOUR DAYS. I WAS ABSOLUTELY SICK WHEN MY FATHER ASKED TO USE MY CAR WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR IT WOULD NOT START HE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT FINALLY STARTED AND WHEN IT DID HE PLACED THE CAR IN DRIVE THE CAR TOOK OFF AT A FAST SPEED WITH HIM BARELY TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL, AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURED, ALL THE LIGHTS LIT UP AND SMOKE BEGAN TO SEEP OUT OF THE BACK OF VEHICLE. I IMMEDIALEY CALLED MY SERVICE DAPARTMENT AND THEY SAID ITS NORMAL, I DONT THINK SO, MAYBE IF MY CAR WAS A 1996 INSTEAD OF A 2006 HE TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN AND HE WILL INSPECT EVERYTHING INCLUDING, THE RECALLED PARTS. I AM TRULY UPSET AND DISGUSTED WITH NISSAN THEY SOLD ME A PIECE OF CRAP, THEY KNEW ABOUT THE RECALL AND DID NOT INFORM ME WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, WHO WANTS A NEW VEHICLE AND HAVE SOMETHING REPLACED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF PURCHASING A NEW CAR NOT ME!! I COULD HAVE PURCHASED A USED CAR. THERE IS NO REPAIR THAT CAN BE DONE TO SATISFY ME I WOULD LIKE A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE WITH NO PRIOR INCIDENTS OR MY MONEY BACK. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
2006 2.5 ALTIMA SPECIAL EDITION HAS SQUEAKING BRAKES 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASED. CAR HAD 4,000 MILES AND BRAKES ARE SQUEAKING. NISSAN HAS NOT REPAIRED OR REPLACED THE HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION ENGINE RECALL SINCE RECEIVING RECALL NOTIFICATION IN JUNE 2006. NISSAN HAS EVEN TAKEN THE RECALL OFF THE WEBSITE HOWEVER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED IT BECAUSE THERE ARE CARS ON THE LOT WITH REPLACED ENGINES. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY. ENGINE OIL IS VERY ESSENTIAL TO THE CAR AND SHOULD NOT BE VIEWED AS A MINOR RECALL. I WAS TOLD THE PISTON RINGS ARE DEFECTED AND SHOULD HAVE THE ENGINE REPLACED. HAVE YET TO HAVE NISSAN HONOR THIS REQUEST. *NM
