2006 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

VEHICLE EXHIBITS SERIOUS RUSTING OF FLOORBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT. THE VEHICLE IS IN GREAT CONDITION OTHERWISE (NO VISIBLE RUST ON BODY PANELS) AND THE REST OF THE UNDERBODY IS IN GREAT CONDITION (MINIMAL CORROSION, AS EXPECTED FOR VEHICLE OF ITS AGE). PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD IS NOTICEABLY SOFT ,AND RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH THE FLOOR PAN IN ONE SPOT (YOU CAN PUT A FINGER THROUGH IT IF CARPET IS REMOVED). THIS IS UNEXPECTED AS THE FLOOR PAN IS COATED WITH A RUBBERIZED UNDERBODY PROTECTANT IN THIS AREA. THE FLOOR PAN MUST BE REPLACED IN THIS AREA, BUT NISSAN ONLY SELLS THE ENTIRE FLOOR PAN FOR THE VEHICLE, WHICH IS QUITE COSTLY. I AM DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE I HAVE NO EVIDENCE WHICH INDICATES THIS ISSUE IS CAUSED BY ANY DAMAGE OR NEGLECT, IT SEEMS AS IF THIS IS DUE TO A COATING FAILURE OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA AND MY PASSAGER FLOORBOARDS ARE RUSTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH. ITS SEEMS THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THAT SAME ISSUE.

THE ENGINE GOES OFF SUDDENLY IN THE MID OF THE TRAFFIC AT INTERSECTION, DURING TAKING CURVES. THE CAR GOES OUT OF POWER, BRAKES AND STEERING LOSE COMPLETE POWER. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS ANY ONE CAN BACK END, HIT THE CAR, OR CAR CAN GO BACK ON RAMP OR CAN FALL OFF THE ROAD. IT CAN HAPPEN ANY TIME, NO ENGINE WARNING NO DIAGNOSTIC.

WHEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, THE CAR SPEED SUDDENLY DROP TO BELOW 10 MILES PER HOUR. THIS HAPPENED TWICE: ONE WAS ON 03/14/2016, ANOTHER WAS TWO YEARS AGO. BOTH CASES HAPPENED ON LOCAL ROADS WITH SPEED LIMIT BELOW 50 MILES PER HOUR. I TURNED ON EMERGENCY LIGHT AND TRIED TO STOP THE CAR. TURNED OFF THE CAR, AND RESTARTED IT. THE CAR SPEED WAS BACK TO NORMAL.

2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE ENGINE ISSUES AND CRANKSHAFT SENSORS RECALL. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF, WHILE DRIVING BELOW 30 MPH. THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR HER MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. HOWEVER, SHE WAS INFORMED THE RECALL COVERED SPECIFIC VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS AND HERS WAS NOT INCLUDED/ *JB

TAKATA CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT SENSORS. HAD BOTH OF THEM FAIL ON OUR ALTIMA IN PAST 2 YEARS AT THE COST OF $800. WHICH THE DEALER HAS MADE US PAY FOR. THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY LEAVE YOU STRANDED AND WILL NOT START AT ALL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON TOO. CALLED FOR TOWING BUT THEN CAR "MIRACULOUSLY STARTED" AFTER STRANDED FOR 1 HOUR IN DANGEROUS LOCATION. DROVE DIRECTLY TO DEALER. WHO RAN TESTS AND DECLARED SENSOR FAULTY. DEALER CLAIMS THE VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL... WELL I THINK SOMEONE NEEDS TO CHECK THE DETAILS ON THIS. OBVIOUSLY THEY MISSED ALL OF THE OTHER VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THESE FAULTY SENSORS THAT WERE MANUFACTURED DURING THE SAME TIME. VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMER

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, TOOK IT IN FOR COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS & IT SHOWED CAM SHAFT SENSOR ALIGNMENT. I WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE FAILURE RECURRED ONCE A DAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE IF THE VIN WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V527000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 182,786.

THE FRONT FLOOR PANS HAVE RUSTTED AWAY AND PART OF THE FLOOR IS MISSING DUE TO RUSTING. NISSAN IS VERY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND OFFERED TO INSTALL A FLOOR FIX AT A COST OF $700.

I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR USED. FELT VIBRATION IN ENGINE WAS TOLD IT WAS A MOTOR MOUNT. CHECKED ON LINE BECAUSE CAR SHIFTING HARD 3 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE TO FIND OUT IT HAS TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT CAUSE MOTOR MOUNT WEAR AND TEAR AND REPLACEMENT AND MAY NEED TRANSMISSION REPLACED. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE
