2006 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

I PURCHASED MY NISSAN ALTIMA SE-R IN JUNE OF 2007. DURING THAT SUMMER THE CLUTCH WOULD STICK ON FEW OCCASIONS AND I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO CHANGE GEARS. ON ONE OCCASION I HAD TO PULL OFF THE FREEWAY AND PUMP THE CLUTCH PETAL MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL IT BECAME FREE AND I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE GEARS SUCCESSFULLY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO WHICH THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS ACTUALLY OCCURRING, WHICH WAS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE SINCE IT WAS SPORADIC. I HAVE NOTICED THAT DURING WINTER ON OCCASION THE CLUTCH AND BRAKES WOULD NEED TO BE PUMPED BEFORE DRIVING OTHERWISE THE CLUTCH WOULD STICK AND THE BRAKES JUST WOULDN'T WORK. THIS MORNING I GOT IN MY NISSAN WHICH HAD BEEN PARKING IN THE GARAGE ALL NIGHT, AND THE CLUTCH PETAL WAS SUNK TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR ON, BUT COULDN'T SWITCH GEARS. I TRIED PULLING UP ON THE CLUTCH PETAL WITH MY FOOT AND NOTHING. IT TOOK MULTIPLE TIMES OF TRYING TO PICK IT UP WITH MY FOOT AND TRYING TO UN-STICK IT BY PRESSING DOWN HARD ON IT BEFORE IT FINALLY CAME UP AND I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN REVERSE TO DRIVE. *TR

WE BOUGHT OUR 06 NISSAN ALTIMA IN 08 AND HAD SOME TROUBLE SOON AFTER WITH THE CAR NOT STARTING ON THE FIRST OR SECOND TRY. WE CONTACTED THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKING AND WE SHOULD FORCIBLY TURN THE WHEEL TO TURN ON THE CAR. STILL HAD PROBLEMS SO WE TOOK OUR CAR TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THEY TOLD US IT WAS THE BATTERY. THE NEW BATTERY HELPED WITH THE STARTING ISSUE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. THEN WE NOTICE THAT THE ENGINE OIL LEVELS WOULD BE LOW AFTER ONLY 1,000 MILES. WE TOOK THE CAR TO OUR LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID JUST KEEP ADDING OIL. THEN A WEEK AGO WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO GET THE OIL CHANGED AND THEY SAID WE HAD NO OIL IN THE ENGINE AT ALL. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE PISTON RINGS WERE SHOT AND OUR OIL WAS MIXING WITH THE COOLANT. WE CALLED NISSAN TO SEE IF THEY COULD HELP US WITH THE COST OF A REPLACEMENT ENGINE THAT THE DEALERSHIP SAID WE WOULD NEED VERY SOON. NISSAN SAID THEY WOULD CALL US BACK IN A COUPLE OF DAYS WITH THEIR ANSWER. THEY CALLED US BACK WITHIN 25 MINUTES TO TELL US THEY WOULD NOT HELP US EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 06 NISSAN ALTIMAS. *TR

APP SENSOR FAILURE. MY CAR IS 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5SL WITH 48K MILES. I JUST GOT THE ENGINE OIL AND SERPENTINE CHANGED THURSDAY MORNING. THEN FRIDAY AFTERNOON I WAS ON FREEWAY AND SUDDENLY THE GAS PEDAL (ACCELERATION PEDAL) WAS LOCKED AND COULD NOT BE PRESSED DOWN. THE CAR COULD NOT KEEP UP THE SPEED. THE LIGHT "ENGINE SERVICE SOON' WAS ALSO ON. FORTUNATELY I WAS CLOSE TO THE EXIT AND LEFT FREEWAY WITH EMERGENCY LIGHT. THEN I WENT TO AUTOZONE FOR ERROR CODE READING. THE ERROR CODE IS APP SENSOR.
