2006 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

WENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE/TIRE ROTATION AND MECHANIC SAID THAT BOTH DRIVER AND PASENGER SIDE FLOORBOARDS WERE ALMOST RUSTED THROUGH. CONTACTED NISSAN DEALER I PURCHASED CAR FROM, THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL BUT THAT NISSAN HAS ISSUED A "SERVICE BULLETIN" ON HOW TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. COST OF REPLACEMENT PARTS AND LABOR WAS IN EXCESS OF $3,000. DO NOT FEEL THAT A TEN YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD BE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. CAR HAS 170K MILES BUT OTHERWISE IS IN FLAWLESS CONDITION.

CONSUMING OR BURNING A LOT OF OIL.HAD TO ADD ABOUT A QUART OF OIL EVERY 300 MILES. IT TAKES LONGER TO SHIFT AND DOES NOT HAVE POWER GOING UPHILL. HARD 1-2 SHIFT.

I PURCHASED MY 2006 ALTIMA 2.5 SL USED NOTICED THAT IT WAS LOOSING OIL EXTREMELY FAST YET WAS NOT LEAKING FROM ANYWHERE OR LEAVING OIL MARKS AFTER BEING PARKED IMMEDIATELY AFTER A COMPLETE OIL CHANGE AND NEW FILTER IT WOULD BE BLACK AND BURNED BY THE TIME I GOT HOME AND RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING FROM FL TO SOUTH CAROLINA MY ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE IN MOTION

MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA FAILED THE YEARLY MASSACHUSETTS INSPECTION. THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD WAS RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED TO PASS INSPECTION. IN SPEAKING WITH THE MECHANIC, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR ALTIMAS. I WANTED TO ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE 100S OF OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD TO REPAIR THIS VEHICLE DEFECT WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR HELP FROM NISSAN. THANK GOODNESS FOR AN ALERT MECHANIC!
