ON MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION, IT HAS A TENDENCY TO JUST LOSE PRESSURE ON THE CLUTCH PEDAL AS I AM DRIVING MAKING IT HARD OR SOMETIMES VERY NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT IN AND OUT OF GEARS.......HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON BUSY ROADS CAUSING A VERY SCARY SITUATION. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 ALTIMA SE-6 WITH A 6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. DURING HOT WEATHER OF AFTER THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN FOR EXTENDED TIMES, THE CLUTCH WILL MAKE A HOWLING SOUND ACCOMPANIED WITH A SHUTTERING WHEN RELEASED TO PULL OFF FROM A FULL STOP. THIS EVENT WILL ALSO CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL UNLESS EXCESSIVE REVOLUTIONS (OVER 3000 RPM) ARE APPLIED DURING RELEASE. IN TRAFFIC OR ON A HILL, THIS HAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ROLL BACKWARDS. TOOK CAR TO A COUPLE OF DEALERSHIPS; ALL OF WHOM CLAIM INABILITY TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE OCTOBER 2007. THIS ISSUE ONLY APPEARS WHEN THE DRIVE TRAIN IS WARMED UP; HOWEVER, IT PRETTY MUCH OCCURS EACH AND EVERY TIME WHEN THE TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS ARE MET. *CN

GAS DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. THE HINGES ARE BENT. HAVE NOTICED THIS ON MANY NISSAN ALTIMAS. FORCING THE DOOR CLOSED, FOR SAFETY REASONS, HAS CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE SURROUNDING THE GAS DOOR. THE PAINT IS CHIPPING AND WILL SOON BEGIN TO RUST AROUND THIS AREA.

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA, LAST YEAR IN OCTOBER MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THIS CAR TO GO TO GROCERY STORE, JUST AS SHE ABOUT TO PARK THE CAR, THE VEHICLE DRIVER SIDE POWER SEAT SUDDENLY LUNGE FORWARD, IT CAUSE MY WIFE TO LOSE CONTROL AND HIT ANOTHER CAR THAT IS PARK NEXT TO WHERE SHE WAS ABOUT TO PARK. I TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, THE DRIVER SEAT WHERE AT A INVERT 60 DEGREE ANGLE, THE DEALERSHIP NOTICE THE POWER SUPPLY IS BURN, SO THEY REPLACE THE POWER SUPPLY, BUT REFUSE TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE TO MY CAR AND THE OTHER CAR MY WIFE HIT. I AM REGISTERING A COMPLAIN AGAINST THE NISSAN CAR COMPANY ABOUT THIS ISSUE, PLEASE ASSIST ME AND FIND IF THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE PRODUCT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALL.*TR

MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA TURNED OFF ON ME COMING TO AN INTERSECTION TWICE. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE SENSOR SO I TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALER TO GET IT FIX. WHAT I AM BEING TOLD BY THE DEALER SHIP IS THAT MY ALTIMA IS SHUTTING OFF BECAUSE THERE'S OIL ON MY CAM AND CRANK SENSOR WHICH THEY ARE CHARGING ME $370.00. I AM HEARING THAT THEY ARE GETTING ALOT OF CARS WITH THIS OIL ON THE SENSOR. HE SAID THAT THE SENSORS HAD ALOT OF OIL ON IT. I ASKED THEN HOW COME I NEVER SAW ANY OIL SPOTS WHERE I PARKED? OIL ON THE SENSORS SOUNDS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE THE RECALL. CAN YOU HELP TO SEE IF THE DEALER IS GETTING AWAY WITH THIS? CAN YOU HELP?? *CN
