My 2006 Altima started making a tick sound around 80,000 miles and around 115,000 miles in 2014 my engine failed. While at a red light my engine sounded like I had rocks in a tin can. My engine was still under federal warranty but Nissan wouldnt help me because they said I should have brought the car in but I was out of dealer warranty so I didnt know. I asked them about the excessive oil consumption recall and they said my car was not part of it but after months of research I concluded that it was due to my efn being listed under the recall information report provided by Nissan, they still didn't acknowledge my issue. I ended up replacing the engine myself in 2014 for a total of $3600 and $1000 for labor and have been driving it since. I called Nissan, I submitted my complaint by mail and I told them my engine was under warranty until 150,000 miles federally (I had 120,000 at the time) but they just overlooked my complaint and never did anything about it.
I am making this complaint with a safety concern in my 2006 Nissan Altima. I purchased the car from santa monica Nissan on 07/29/06. Since then the car has already been to the dealer several times with identical problems. The car hesitates at times while driving on local roads, freeways and hilly roads, and skids while taking turns. I am very scared to drive this car because of the slowed down motion during heavy traffic hours. It is a big safety issue to be driving a car that hesitates when you're trying to catch up to the speed of traffic & skids, making a loud screechy sound when trying to turn. I have complained to the manufacturer several times, but each time they send me back saying that there's nothing wrong with the car. They are neglecting the problem instead of resolving it. No reasonable conclusion has been reached as yet. I am looking for Nissan to buy the car back before there are any injuries to myself or others. Nissan has failed to resolve my issues. I definitely am staying away from Nissan!!!.
