general problems of the 2006 Nissan Altima

I have had to replace my engine twice, my emergency breaks stopped working and the I think it's called the transmission but anyways my car tends to jerk and hesitates to crank sometimes. I have had my starter looked at and replaced and also battery but it still happens. I have had three different mechanics look into it and the couldn't figure it out.

(dyd - I don't see anything about the contact's brakes or air bags in the complaint; also the number injured is incorrect) tl the contact owned a 2006 Nissan Altima. While driving 60 mph, the contact's vehicle crashed into the rear of a semi-truck during inclement weather. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a yard and destroyed from the impact. The vehicle was not inspected and diagnosed by a repair facility or dealer. The driver sustained neck pains and whiplash, which required medical treatment. The manufacturer was notified of the crash. The failure mileage was not available.

Takata recall my car gives me a headache when im driving its smells wierd. And the air does not stay cold my check engine light wont stat off please help my brakes feel wierd when I ride they feel like they dont want to stop and its led in this car its unsafe for me and my children and my son bleeds out his nose when he rides in the car.

My entire drivers side and passneger side floor board has rotted out completely. Im talking I can put my foot through it. I head all of it fall out driving down the I-90. This car is rust free from florida. This is such bs and is unsafe to drive.

The car was parked in a driveway for 6 hours in 10 degre weather. It was required to move the car to allow another vehicle to leave when the Nissan was driven forward to re-park the vehicle and the brakes were applied the peddle was rock hard and no brakes were available causing a collision with a garage door. The dealership diagnosed the problem as a vacuum valve, integral with a vacuum hose. The dealer tested the car at 7:30am on 1/16/2012 when the car had been sitting for over 24 hours in 23 degree weather, the brake pedal was hard (however not rock solid) once the pedal was pumped twice the brakes worked accordingly. The theory was the valve was not functioing in the cold weather. The dealer tested the theory by removing the faulty part and placing it in the cold weather for approximatley 30 minutes and reinstalled part back intot he car and created a similar scenario where the brake pedal was hard with limited brakes (temperature was 22 degrees). The part has been replaced and appears to have solved the issue. I am dissapointed that the Nissan Altima can potentially have brakes in extreme cold weather as I live in a cold climate. .

My brakes have a high pitched screech only when in reverse. This has been happening for over a year. I had it in to the glendale Nissan dealer 3 times and they said there was nothing they could do. They said it was a defect in the type of brake it is. Am I suppose to live with it for the life of the car. This sound is very abnormal. When I am backing up people just look at the car as to say, "get your brakes fixed". I have never heard of a car doing this let alone having to deal with this terrible screeching noise.

I took the car to the dealership and the technician told me that it was leaking at the seal. Now my vehicle identification number fell in the range of the 2006 Nissan Altima recall. The technician stated that Nissan corporate told him just to replace the seal. I was not satisfied with that response. I was never offered a new motor.

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.

I was told the piston rings are defected and should have the engine replaced. Have yet to have Nissan honor this request.
