Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises Problems of Nissan Altima

Addition to the ppl giving me the reading for my check engine light. . . Transmission fluid (something with my transmission) I've been having a popping noise coming from my passenger tire when I hit bumps. . I've took it back to carmaxx to get it service and it still makes the same noise and when I start up my car for the first time it makes a loud noise I guess until the car warms up and it's real loud in the winter and I also complained about this to the dealer. . They claim they fixed and it still makes the same noise. . I don't know what the problem is with either. . It's a 2016 Nissan Altima. .

I have a new 2013 Nissan Altima sl v6 I have had several problems with this new car. Blind side warning, and traction control light stayed on one time. My car wouldn't start up several times after walking up to the car and pressing the button on the door. The key wouldn't unlock the doors, it wouldn't auto start the car. I had to wait to get in my car, I actually had to stick my key in the door to get in the car. When I did finally get in the car and try to start it nothing happened, it said no key this is dangerous I am a female god forbids somebody tries to rape or kill me and I am not able to get away in my new car that I pay all this money for every month. The dashboard says: key not detected or no key, or incorrect key id. My car has been in and out of the shop and they still doesn't know what's wrong. I've recently went to a different dealer hoping they can work on my car and get me the results I'm looking for. . . I completely hate this car because it has been n the shop more times than my last car. All they kept saying was more computer problems. I got my car 12/2012 and my car has been in the shop over 20 times with lots of issues. I'm still within my 36000 warranty. I also hear a clicking noise in the front tire. Dealership replaced some bolts and greased it as well. They said it needed grease. . The noise has came back about 2 weeks later!! its time consuming to keep going back to the dealership to get repairs!! but I have to do it. I had the recall for air bags but it still didn't register an adult who sat in the front seat who weighed about 103 lbs. So his air bag wouldn't deploy if we got in an accident. That isn't safe at all. . Pls fix and change that feature for the sake of smaller adults. Nissan shouldn't restrict the weight of a front seat passenger. . All these problems. . . . I will be opening up a lemon law case!! this is ridiculous!!!!.

My vehicle which appears to have multiple defects is now hesitating on start up and has occurred on several occasions. When I press the engine button, the car just keeps cranking and sometimes, barely or struggling to start. Every now and then, I noticed that there's also a single clicking sound which seems to come from the engine compartment and a drumming/slapping noise when applying the brakes. The vehicle makes to many disturbing noises that Nissan for some reason can't seem to identify other than the sounds being normal.

I have had this car for 5 months and bought it brand new and it has been nothing but problems that Nissan cannot resolve. On top of all of the recalls, brake and starting issues it now starting to fall apart. Recently I have been noticing a noise coming from the windshield almost every time I drive and especially when I am driving 60-75mph on the interstate. The noise I have been hearing sounds like small rock hit the windshield and at other times I hear a cracking noise. So here recently I was driving on the interstate at 75mph and hear something flapping on the windshield and notice that it is the rubber seal that goes around the windshield. So I pull off at the next exit and reattach the seal. The car is only 5 months old and nothing should be coming off like that. Also my car has black interior and it tends I be much hotter on inside especially in direct sunlight. One day I left my car parked in the direct sunlight and got it and the interior was pretty warm and I was going to plug my phone in and the a/c outlet inside the cubby under the radio and as soon as I tried to lift the outlet cover it cracked and broke off. I traded in my 2010 Altima for the 2013 because I loved my previous Altima and I had 60k on it and never had a problem with it. I thought I was buying quality and reliability when I purchased a Nissan, but that has not been the case. I have had the car only five months and having mechanical, exterior and interior issues. This will be the last Nissan I own, I will be getting a camry next time I purchase a car.

Brought vehicle to Nissan dealer in tewksbury, MA for diagnostic. (tapping noise when I start the car) they found some repairs necessary but told me they did not know what the tapping sound was. I took the car to my mechanic and he advised that it "sounded" like the timing chain. He did not work on the car and told me to bring it back to the dealer, which I did. I called Nissan and they told me I could bring the car to another dealer and have another diagnostic done. At a cost of another $110. 00 to be paid by me. I was told that there was little oil in the engine and this is why the timing chain "went". I have paid $2500. 00 out of pocket to get my car fixed. I need the car and was two months without it. I do not feel that I should have to pay for this repair. Two months before the timing chain went Nissan did an oil change for me along with some other repairs. I take very good care of my car and do not believe that oil was the problem I have all my documents regarding repairs and oil changes and would like someone to check into this for me.

Approximately 1 1/2 years ago, I started hearing a clicking noise coming out of my 3. 5l engine. I took the car to a dealer and he said I needed a new engine ($6000). I drove the car for another 3k miles and the noise continued and became louder. It sounds like an movie projector. I took the car to another Nissan dealer who told me the the primary timing chain guide was causing the noise. I suspect that Nissan knows of this defect in the timing chain which causes the timing chain guide to become damaged. I have also read it happens between 20k to 80k miles. Anyway, if the timing chain jumps it cause serious internal engine damage. I have talked with Nissan consumers affair gorup with no results. I think this should be investigate and Nissan owners warned of this engine defect.

The consumers daughter pulled the vehicle over and noticed smoke coming from the bottom of the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and they stated that the engine needed to be replaced due to a lack of engine oil. There were no warnings prior to the failure.

The rear suspension has always been an issue. While driving the wheel will scrape against the wheel well. You can't fit more the two people in the back seat due to this issue. The two front exterior headlights don't provide adequate lighting to even see the car in front of you. Its extremely low/dense lighting even after changing out the bulbs. The electrical ignition switch to start the car has always been a problem. I have to turn the key, wait, turn it again, wait for the dashboard lights to come on, then finally the car will start. The power train gear control is another waiting game. To put the car in drive, I first have to slowly shift though each gear before finally putting into drive. Once I do put it into drive the car will suddenly jolt forward before I'm able to start driving the car. I recently had the transmission replaced cause it just stopped while in motion and struggled to start up again. It finally did, but it couldn't drive over 1st gear. I had to tow the car home. Also, few yrs back I had the head gasket replaced cause the car would shut off while I was driving. It would also not start up again if I had just turned off the engine. It needed time to cool off before restarting for me. And as of this moment, the car is in the shop again. This time it needs a new engine. While it's idling, it's making a very loud clunking sound. It's just never ending with this car. I know there were many recalls on the engine, exterior lighting and rear suspension but I never got the notices.

2006 Nissan Altima engine consumed to much oil causing engine to be replaced twice. The new engine has started making a ticking noise. The dealer is considering installing a third engine.

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.

Purchased a 2006 Nissan Altima in January of 2006. When car had about 2800 miles on it, we were eating dinner at a restaurant across from our local Nissan dealership. When we started the engine to leave, it made a horrible clattering noise. My husband checked the oil and it did not register on the dip stick. We immediately drove it across the street and showed it to the sales manager since service dept was closed. We had to leave car there over the weekend. When service dept checked oil, they said it was low and changed the oil, but did not measure how low just said about 1 and 1/2 quarts low. I went to pick the car up and they tried not to provide me with a service ticket saying it was no charge. I told them I was not leaving with out a service ticket saying that my brand new car was so low on oil that it was not even registering on the dip stick!! their answer was we aren't even charging Nissan for it - like I care!! anyway I got my ticket. Went back a few weeks later and was low again - then they decided to really take this seriously and changed the oil again and said to come back in 500 miles. We did and service manager said it was definitely using oil and he would have to replace the engine. That was about the time the recall came out in the newspaper. We are still waiting on our engine. Have been fighting this since about March. My husband was told by service dept that Nissan had changed ring manufacturers and had received a faulty batch. I am tired of going to Nissan every 700 miles to have my oil checked. That is why I bought a new car!!! we requested a new car, but like all the other people with complaints, they just laughed. I guess it is going to take someone getting killed in a fire for them to get off of the rears and actually do something!! I am tired of hearing we don't know what we are going to do yet!!.

The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that the engine valve has been making a tapping noise since 2006. He stated that the engine tapping failure is a safety issue because it could lead to engine seizure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer five times for this failure. After three of the five visits, the mechanic claimed that the failure was repaired; however, the tapping still occurs. The current mileage was 40,000 and failure mileage was 25,000.

Purchased a 05 Altima in June of 2004. I have had nothing but problems. I took the car in at 19,000 and told them my car shakes and there is a ticking in the front end. Sounds like it is coming from the engine. You can feel the shaking in the seats, gear shift and steering wheel. Not to mention the shaking continues to knock my windows out of place. The shaking happens when your are sitting at a stop light and while driving. They told me that I would need to replace tires and alignment. I did the alignment. They then said that the ticking was normal and the shaking was normal. So being a young female I was took them for there word. I then was driving about 35 mph and the right front tire blew out. I was able to pull over, no one was hurt. Called Nissan said tires were not covered under warranty. So I went to an outside tire dealer to have replaced, was told rim was bent. Again called Nissan was told that was my problem. So I purchased a new set of rims. Just started to face the fact that I would have to deal with the shaking and noise. About 2 months ago returned to the dealer because along with the shaking and noise now there is a loud clunking on the right passenger side. Was told tires need to be replace, alignment and balance. Also get this right front passenger rim bent. Again! said it was the roads. Took to tire dealer. Rim was bent. He did his part, took it back to dealer. They have had my car more times in the last 2 months then I care to remind myself. But has been no fix to any of my issues. At closing of repair ticket was told ticking noise they did not know where it was coming from but they were pretty sure it was not the engine. The shaking was from a broke rack and pinion. So now that I am over my 36,000 mile warranty. I need to pay over 1300. 00 to have repaired. I feel like this car is a lemon and I am now stuck. I am very upset with this lack of concern Nissan has with my issues. I need help getting my car repaired.

The consumer stated a new engine was placed in the car in November, then two months later, it needed a new driveshaft, and currently needs motor mounts. There was a moving sensation when first taking off. When the consumer stopped the vehicle there was a popping noise. The car has been doing this since ownership.

Engine had a clicking sound. There was noise when vehicle accelerated. Then, pedal was loose, and engine was hard to start.

While traveling 70mph on highway and without prior warning engine check light appeared on dashboard, indicating that vehicle caught on fire. The dealership was aware of the problem. There was a sudden loss of power, there was also a clicking sound as if it were coming from the fuel injection system, the oil light, and the light had illuminated.
