2006 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 9 YEARS AND HAVE BEEN LOCKED OUT THE VEHICLE, THE ALTERNATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE CAR SHUT DOWN 1 MONTH AGO. THE CAR HAS BEEN SHUTTING DOWN FOR 4 YRS WHEN THE WEATHER CHANGES. I JUST DISCOVERED A WHOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVER SIDE GROUND. DUE TO RUST THERE IS A WHOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ULTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE ENGINE ROD FRACTURED AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO CATCH FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 157,000.

MOTOR SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING, NO BRAKES OR POWER STEERING AND OR AFTER ENGINE HAS BEEN DRIVEN IT WILL NOT START AGAIN UNTIL IS COOLS. NHTSA ID07V527000 FILED. INDIVIDUAL FROM NISSAN ACKNOWLEDGE HE WAS AWARE BUT THERE IS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME? JUST HOPE NO ONE IS INJURED OR KILLED WITH THIS TYPE OF SAFETY ISSUE. WOULD YOU SUGGEST I CONTACT STATE REP. TO INQUIRE AT THIS TIME?

I CURRENTLY HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, I SCANNED AND PULLED THE CODE WITH MY OWN PERSONAL SCANNER THE CODE WAS P0507 (IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE) THE CODE WAS CLEARED, NOW ANOTHER CODE IS BEING THROWN WHICH IS THE TPS(THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR) AND THE IATS(INTAKE AIR TEMP SENSOR BANK 1) I HEARD THAT NISSIAN HAD A RECALL ON THIS MATTER SO I RESEARCHED IT WITH MY VIN NUMBER AND NOTHING SHOWED UP. I HEARD THE ECU NEEDS TO BE REPROGRAMMED AND THE PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED. THIS MATTER NEEDS TO BE ATTENDED TO BEFORE SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS HAPPENS TO ME OR MY FAMILY WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

TRANSMISSION TOTALLY GAVE OUT ON A BUSY HIGHWAY CAUSING A MAJOR TRAFFIC HAZARD. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT.

THE PART OF THE FLOOR BOARDS DIRECTLY BENEATH WHERE BOTH THE DRIVER AND THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER WOULD NORMALLY PLACE THEIR FEET HAS RUSTED THROUGH TO THE EXTENT THAT ONLY CARPETING AND INSULATION MATERIAL PREVENTS THE FEET FROM GOING THROUGH THE FLOOR TO THE GROUND. THE LOCAL " CAROUSEL NISSAN " DEALERSHIP HAS TAKEN PHOTOS AND DOCUMENTED THE DAMAGE BUT WILL ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY. THE DAMAGE WAS NOTICED WHEN A PIECE OF THE CARPET OR INSULATION WAS SEEN HANGING UNDER THE CAR.

WIFE WAS COMING HOME FROM THE AIRPORT WHEN APPROACHING STOP SIGN THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN WITHOUT NOTICE. "NO BRAKES OR POWER STEERING". VEHICLE WAS PUSHED BY CITY WORKERS INTO PARKING AREA. LATER ON AFTER THE VEHICLE SAT IT STARTED AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT HOME. NEXT DAY I NOTICED THE ENGINE LIGHT ON! I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO CHECK THE CODES. CODES INDICATED IT COULD BE THE BATTERY OR A CRANK, CAM SENSOR. BATTERY SHOWED BAD. PURCHASE NEW BATTERY AND ASSUMED EVERYTHING IS OKAY. I DROVE THE VEHICLE DOWN TO A STORE AND WHEN I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT IT STOPPED. LATER ON VEHICLE STARTED AND DROVE NEXT DOOR TO A AUTO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATING INTERNAL FAILURE IN CAM SENSOR. CODE P0340 STORED. VEHICLE REPAIRED.

THE FLOOR BOARDS ARE RUSTING OUT ON OUR CAR. YOU CAN SEE THE CARPET PADDING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. THIS IS OCCURRING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AS WELL. WE ALWAYS MAINTAIN OUR VEHICLES AND THIS SITUATION IS VERY ALARMING TO US.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER DRIVING FOR A LONG PERIOD, THERE WAS A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. AFTER CHECKING THE OIL DIP STICK, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE ENGINE OIL WAS LOW. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V223000 (ENGINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR PAN RUST THROUGH. IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 2002 TO 2006 ALTIMA AND MAXIMA MODELS. A RECALL SHOULD BE PERFORMED. THIS PROBLEM IS A DANGER, AND VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR.
