2006 NISSAN ALTIMA CAUGHT ON FIRE, JUNE 8, 2011. MY SON WAS DRIVING FROM WORK TO HOME ON THE HIGHWAY AND ORANGE SPARKS WAS COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR, SO HE PULLED OVER ON THE MEDIAN. WHEN HE PROCEEDED TO LIFT UP THE HOOD OF THE CAR, BLACK SMOKE AND FLAMES WERE COMING FROM THE HOOD AND HE AND OTHER DRIVERS CALLED 911. ACCORDING TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, OIL AND OTHER FLUIDS WERE COMING FROM THE CAR DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON FIRE. MY SON IS OK, BUT I CAN NOT GET ANY HELP WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE A BURNED CAR SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND CAN NOT DRIVE IT EVERYTHING UNDERNEATH THE HOOD IS MELTED. I STILL OWE ON THIS CAR. NEED HELP! I ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 8 MONTHS. *KB

NISSAN ALTIMA 2006 MANUAL TRANSMISSION: CLUTCH LOSSES PRESSURE. I HAVE TAKEN CAR IN TO NISSAN FOR ISSUE. VEHICLE BOUGHT IN AUG 2006. APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS LATER ISSUE BEGAN. CLUTCH DROPS DOWN WHILE CAR IN MOTION. MANUALLY MOVE CLUTCH BACK UP WITH FOOT. WHEN FIRST TAKEN INTO NISSAN (WINDWARD NISSAN, HONOLULU HI) WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. CLUTCH CONTINUED WITH ISSUE VERY INTERMITTENLY. UPON ARRIVAL TO SAN DIEGO CA, I DECIDED TO TAKE TO MOSSY NISSAN (NATIONAL CITY). I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW CLUTCH. I WAS REFFERED TO NISSAN 1 FOR ASSISTANCE. NISSAN COVERED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CLUTCH. IT HAS THEN BEEN ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AND ISSUE PERSISTS. NOW CLUTCH DROPS AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER, WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND SEE IF CLUTCH COMES BACK UP. CANNOT PUT VEHICLE IN GEAR WHILE CLUTCH IS DOWN. I GOOGLED "CLUTCH ISSUES WITH NISSAN VEHICLES" AND THERE WAS A LINK TO YOUR WEBSITE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA SE-R. THE CLUTCH REPEATEDLY LOOSES PRESSURE WHEN THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS HOT COMBINED WITH A HEAVY TRAFFIC SITUATION.

I DID A LITTLE ONLINE INVESTIGATING AND IT APPEARS AS THOUGH I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT OWNS AN ALTIMA THAT IS PLAGUED BY THE SAFETY ISSUE. IT ALMOST IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT. *TR
