2006 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE THAT MANY OF THEIR MAKES FOR SEVERAL YEARS HAVE TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THEM, AND NOT THE CUSTOMER. THERE IS (WAS??) A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM THAT MET MY ISSUES TO A T. THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN HESITATING WHEN GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, AND THEN JERKING VERY HARD INTO GEAR. NOW IT ROUGH SHIFTS BETWEEN GEARS, AND WHEN DRIVING IF I SLOW DOWN AND BEGIN TO ACCELERATE AGAIN IT HESITATES AND ALMOST STOPS, THEN THE RPM GOES UP HIGH AND JERKS VERY HARD INTO GEAR. THE ISSUE IS INCREASINGLY GETTING WORSE. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND PAY FOR THEIR ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS EFFECTING HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMERS. I HAVE A WARRANTY BUT THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME UNLESS MY TRANSMISSION IS IN PIECES ON THE MECHANICS FLOOR SO THEY CAN LOOK AT IT. THE WARRANTY COMPANY SAYS IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO FIND THE MECHANIC, AUTHORIZE THE TEAR DOWN, AND THEN OF COURSE PAY THE BILL IF THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT. THIS ISSUE IS NOT MY FAULT AND I SHOULD NOT BE PENALIZED FOR SOMETHING I DID NOT DO. I CHOSE NISSAN EXPECTING QUALITY AND SO THAT IS NOT WHAT I HAVE RECEIVED. I PAID MY CAR OFF IN A YEAR (AND IT WASN'T CHEAP!) SO I CANNOT JUST GO TRADE IT IN, AND I DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO PAY ANOTHER CAR NOTE. I EXPECTED AT LEAST 10 YEARS OUT OF THE CAR, AND SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET FAR MORE THAN 10 YEARS OUT OF IT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. MY CAR IS BREAKING DOWN IN FRONT OF MY EYES WITH LESS THAN 115,000 MILES ON IT AND THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A QUALITY CAR. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE THE ONE TO PAY THESE REPAIRS. WE ARE VICTIMS AND WE DESERVE TO BE COMPENSATED, NOT BE PUNISHED.

2006 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH ROTTED AND RUSTED OUT FRONT FLOORBOARDS. $1000.00 TO REBUILD AND ANOTHER $100.00 FOR THE DEALER TO RESET THE AIRBAGS. WHY IS THIS NOT BEING RECALLED? IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE!! THOSE DRIVING AN ALTIMA MODEL YEARS 2002-2008 TAKE A LOOK AT THE UNDERSIDE OF YOUR VEHICLE ASAP....UPDATED 12/02/15 *BF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FLOORBOARDS ON BOTH THE FRONT DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WERE CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ON MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5L 2006. FROM WHAT I'VE READ THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2.5L ENGINE WHICH COULD RESULT IN ENGINE FIRE.

BOTH THE FRONT DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR PANS ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. THE CARPET IS THE ONLY THING KEEPING YOUR FEET FROM GOING THROUGH THE FLOOR AND TOUCHING THE HIGHWAY. FROM READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE, IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND SEEMS TO BE DUE TO A FLAW IN THE MANUFACTURING / ENGINEERING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHY IS IT NOT BEING ADDRESSED AND REMEDIED BY NISSAN ?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY WAS TURNED OVER SEVERAL TIMES AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO REPLACED THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED WITHIN THIRTEEN MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 07V527000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) AND 06V223000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO REMEDY. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE PAS 30 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEAD GASKET FAILED AND THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. APPROXIMATELY SEVEN MONTHS LATER, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE SERVICED. THE MECHANIC OBSERVED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

WITHIN THE LAST THREE WEEKS I OBSERVED A RUSTED PIECE OF METAL EXTENDING FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF MY VEHICLE UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE. I TOOK IT TO A MEINEKE LOCATION AND HAD THEM LOOK AT THE UNDERSIDE. IT IS EXTENSIVELY RUSTED AND NEEDS TO HAVE SHEET METAL WELDED FROM THE INSIDE TO PREVENT MY FOOT/FEET FROM HITTING THE ROAD. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED IN 2010 WITH 66000 MILES. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH IT AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT. I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND SEE THAT IT IS SYSTEMIC ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD E HELD RESPONSIBLE.
