Floor pans on both driver and passenger are rusted with large perforation holes into the cabin of the vehicle. Do not know if vehicle is safe to operate since water visibly enter the car when it rains, and Nissan cannot assure that the seat attached to the car are not compromised by the rusting.
The first incident happened on 11/28/11 as I was driving on interstate 93, new hampshire. The car suddenly cut out on power and jerked then the service engine light came on. I scheduled an appointment at belknap tire in laconia, nh and they reset the code for the crank positioning sensor, replaced the air filter and performed routine service on my car. On 12/3/11 I was driving again on interstate 93 and the car again cut out on power, jerked and the service engine light again came on. The code was checked and it is again the crank positioning sensor. I then went on the Nissan website and there was a campaign for this exact same issue - campaign #07v527000. I was finally able to talk with justin, a Nissan service phone rep, who advised that my car VIN was not affected by this campaign. I inquired why it wasn't as it is the same exact problem as the recall and he said that it does not effect all Nissans. This is an unsafe driving issue for me and obviously there has been this same problem with the Nissan Altimas yet my 2006 is not considered one of them. Nissan will not cover this and said I could apply for financial assistance but there is not any recall relief to get this corrected. I feel that this is a safety problem and there is a history of this issue with Nissan vehicles.
Several 2005 and 2006 Nissan Altimas se-rs (including mine) have had issues with the clutch pedal getting stuck on the floor unable to come back up and not being able to change gears. Dealerships accross the country have deny the issue and deny repairs. This is a safety issue and an accident can happend due to this. To me, is been happening since I purchase the car at 37,000 miles and it keeps happening now at 86,000 miles. . . This is happening to several others as well and a website has been created with everyone's concerns. Please recall!!!.
Nissan Altima 2006 manual transmission: clutch losses pressure. I have taken car in to Nissan for issue. Vehicle bought in Aug 2006. Approximately 2 years later issue began. Clutch drops down while car in motion. Manually move clutch back up with foot. When first taken into Nissan (windward Nissan, honolulu hi) was told that there was nothing wrong. Clutch continued with issue very intermittenly. Upon arrival to san diego CA, I decided to take to mossy Nissan (national city). I was told that I needed a new clutch. I was reffered to Nissan 1 for assistance. Nissan covered the replacement of the clutch. It has then been about a year and a half and issue persists. Now clutch drops and I have to pull over, wait a few minutes and see if clutch comes back up. Cannot put vehicle in gear while clutch is down. I googled "clutch issues with Nissan vehicles" and there was a link to your website.
Severe rusting around the plug hole area under both the passenger and drivers floor board.
My car has been experiencing pulling since last year. I family member informed me that the problem sounded like the transmission was going bad and that I needed to have the car checked. I took the car to the Nissan dealership and paid for a diagmostic inpsection. The Nissan dealership reported no problems with the engine (which I had to have replaced when the car was purchased brand new) and reported no problem with the transmission. I was told that I needed the brakes and rotors replaced in the front. I got the issue taken care of and the problem stills occurs with my car and it still jerks/pulls when I put my car in drive and am on the road. I think that this is a safety issue that needs to be looked into. I do not believe that the Nissan dealership is being truthful and honest about the situation. When I was there one of the sales reps asked me if I wanted to trade my car in. I could hear the other salesperson/mechanic talk to another person about my car and possible open recalls, but never addressed this with me. I contacted the 1800 number regarding a recall on my car. I was told that there was still a recall open and I explained the problems with my car. The rep told me to take my care in and get it checked again. When I contacted the Nissan dealership the person was short patience with me and told me that I did not need to get it checked because it was already replaced in 2006. I feel like I am driving a car that will eventually break down or fall apart while I am driving. I have put several tires on my car and it seems like I still hear a strange noise coming from the wheels even when I have placed new rotors and brakes on the front and back wheels.
Clutch pedal sinks to the floor board of my Nissan Altima 3. 5 se, the clutch fluid is at full capacity and when the car is in motion at a red light or even at a still motion the clutch goes completely down or out. . . I have had my fluids checked and it is full. . . . This as been happening since I have owned the car at 52,000 miles and continues to have this problem to this very day. . . . . Nissian 3. 5 cars are notorious for this problem, but Nissan fails to recognize this as a recall problem. . . . But everyone is having this problem 3. 5 - 5 (speeds) with this car and this model. . . . . This is a serious safety issue especially when I am in slowed traffic and cannot shift properly. . . This issue needs to seriously be addressed and the problem resolved. . . . Fatalities should not be their reason to enforce this issue.
I once was told by bob bell Nissan that my vehicle was not on the recall list. And now 2 years later I receive a letter stating that my Nissan 2006 Altima is one of the recall vehicle on the list . And im contacting you for this reason.
Gas door does not close properly. The hinges are bent. Have noticed this on many Nissan Altimas. Forcing the door closed, for safety reasons, has caused damage to the body of the vehicle surrounding the gas door. The paint is chipping and will soon begin to rust around this area.
I purchased a new Nissan Altima Apr 16 2006. On June 15 I received a letter from Nissan nth America saying there was a problem with Altimas - they were losing oil too fast. I checked my oil and with 2950 miles it was empty. I towed the car to the dealer, who said the oil was black, the engine was no good, and it needs a new motor. I don't want a new motor, I don't want them to fix the car. I want my money back. The letter stated the problem could cause a fire if unchecked. The dealer has since reported that there was a 3 month period of production of these cars that are affected. Now they want me to have them fill up the oil, drive for another 700 miles and retest the car. This is unacceptable.
I purchased a 2006 2. 5 s Nissan in good faith. I am now being told that as long as the oil changes are always current I will not have a problem with the car blowing up. I am a 25 years old young woman with a child, and I am not willing to take that risk. Of course I will change my oil, but that is not the point. The point is that there is a defect in this car causing it to explode. I tried talking to some one at your car safety commission and was told that until the car blows up, there is nothing that can be done. Well I can't come back from the grave and have it fixed. I can't believe that you all are willing to let someone die before reacting on such a serious problem.
I purchased a new 2006 Nissan Altima on may 27, 2006. I choose Nissan since I was a current owner and enjoyed the performance and reliability of my vehicle. After taking delivery of the vehicle, I read in the paper on June 2, 2006, that Nissan had ordered dealers to discontinue selling certain models of Altimas and sentra se-rs for what was described as an oil consumption problem. The Altimas affected were VIN numbers in the range of 1n4al11d16-c174681 through 1n4al11d16-c231328, which applies to my vehicle.
