2006 Nissan Altima Complaint Log

MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS EXCESSIVE AND PREMATURE RUST ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR PAN. THERE ARE NO OTHER INDICATIONS OF RUST ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, OR ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE UNDER-BODY OF THE VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE FIRST STARTED SHOWING SYMPTOMS IN ~2011 WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS CONTINUED TO WORSEN TO THE POINT WHERE IT'S DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

VEHICLE WOULD TURN OVER BUT WOULD NOT START. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. ONCE AT AROUND 60,000 MILES AND THE NEXT TIME AT 64,000 MILES. BOTH TIMES IT ENDED UP BEING THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR. BOTH CAMSHAFT SENSORS WERE REPLACED AS RECOMMENDED BY THE SHOP. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE HAD FAILED. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THEIR VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V527000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MY CAR AS SUDDENLY CUTOFF, WHILE DRIVING!!!! LUCKILY, NOBODY WAS EVER PHYSICALLY HURT. MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY IT SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF SEVERAL PEOPLE, INCLUDING MYSELF. WHILE ON THE EXPRESSWAY I'VE STARTED TO NOTICE MY CAR AUTOMATICALLY SLOWING DOWN AFTER A CERTAIN SPEED, WITHOUT ME EVEN TOUCHING THE BRAKES. FOR AWHILE I STOPPED GETTING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, IN FEAR OF MY CAR COMPLETELY STOPPING WITH CARS DRIVING BEHIND ME AT A FASTER PACE. ALSO, AT 55 + MILES/HR MY TIRES START TO WOBBLE AND THERE'S A SCRUBBING NOISE WITH THE WOBBLE SOMETIMES. IT FEELS LIKE MY BACK TIRES ARE ABOUT TO FALL OFF. I'VE BOUGHT 3 SETS OF TIRES ALREADY, AND TOMORROW WILL BE MY 4TH SET. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND VERY UNSAFE!!!!! PLEASE HELP ME, THANKS. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA ON 12-22-05. ON 1- 8-11 I NOTICED A 6 TO 8 INCH RUST HOLE COMPLETELY THROUGH THE FLOORBOARD OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR JUST FORWARD OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN AMERICA HAS REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM STATING THAT THE WARRANTY HAD RUN OUT ON THE VEHICLE BY 2 WEEKS. MY CONTENTION IS THAT PROBLEM IS MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP DEFECT AND THAT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING AND ONLY DISCOVERED AT THIS TIME. I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS DAMAGE WILL COMPROMISE THIS VEHICLES PERFORMANCE IN A CRASH, POTENTIALLY ALLOW EXHAUST FUMES TO ENTER THE OCCUPANT CABIN AND BE GENERALLY A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE DRIVER WHO RESTS HIS OR HER FEET DIRECTLY ON THIS AREA. I HAVE READ INTERNET REPORT THAT DESCRIBE FEMALES HIGH HEELS GETTING CAUGHT IN THE RUSTED FLOOR WHILE DRIVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 55 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE TEST RESULTS SHOWED A FAILURE WITH THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR BUT THE REPAIR DID NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR WAS REPLACED TWICE AFTER THE FIRST REPAIR AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. CONSUMER WRITES TO APPEAL TO HAVE HER VEHICLE SERVICED AT NISSAN'S EXPENSE TO REPAIR THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR PROBLEM UNDER THE RECALL. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR PROBLEM CAUSED THE ENGINE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE ENGINE SPEED INPUT CIRCUIT SENSOR ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING SHE CONTINUED TO HEAR A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. SHE ALSO MENTIONED THAT EVERY TIME SHE HAD TO SHIFT GEARS THEY WOULD LOCK AND IN ORDER TO CONTINUE DRIVING SHE HAD TO ENGAGE THE SHIFT RELEASE BUTTON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

MY CAR HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A FAULTY CRANK AND CAM SENSORS, CATALYTIC CONVERTER AS WELL. TODAY I TOOK CAR INTO SHOP BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN BURNING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. I HAVE TO PUT AS MUCH AS 4 QUARTS OF OIL INTO CAR A WEEK. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY INDICATE THAT THEIR ARE RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT MY CAR IS NOT ONE OF THE VINS RECALLED. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY ENGINE REPLACED AS A RECALL BUT WINDSOR NISSAN HAS NO RECORD WHEN I ASKED FOR THE REPORT. I WENT IN TO THE DEALER ON 12/16/10 AT 5:30 PM BECAUSE I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS AS THE GEAR SHIFT WAS GETTING STUCK IN PARK AND COULDN'T MOVE AT ALL. I READ THE BOOK WHICH SAYS TO PUSH THE SHIFT LOCK RELEASE BUTTON WHICH WILL LET ME MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT TEMPORARILY. I THEN CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO IN TURN TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR IN TO CHECK IT OUT. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $110 JUST TO SEE IT UNTIL I DISPUTED THAT. AFTERWARDS, HE TOLD ME THAT THE SHIFT LOCK CONTROL UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, HE COULDN'T EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THE CAR JUST UP AND STARTED TO ACT UP OR WHAT LEADS TO THAT. I HAVE AN OLDER MODEL NISSAN ALTIMA AND IT RUNS BETTER THAN THE 2006. I HAVE HAD MORE PROBLEMS WITH THE NEW CAR THAN I HAD WITH THE OLD ONE. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE BACK BRAKE LIGHTS 6 TIMES WITHIN THE YEAR BECAUSE IT CONTINUES TO BLOW OUT AS WELL AS THE OVER HEAD LIGHT ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. THE ONLY THING THAT CONFUSES ME IS THE GEAR SHIFT, NOW I'M SUBJECT TO PAY $300 FOR THIS PART BEING REPLACED BECAUSE IT ISN'T COVERED IN THE WARRANTY AND NO ONE COULD TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT CAUSES THIS PROBLEM. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND WHAT CAN BE DONE TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE. I HAVE CONTACTED OTHER MECHANICS WHO SEEM TO FEEL THAT THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THE CAR IS ONLY 4 1/2 YEARS OLD. *TR

ON CRUISE CONTROL, TRAVELING IN A 50 MPH GOING 45 SUDDENLY THE TRANSMISSON WENT INTO A HIGH PITCH THE ENGINE WENT TO NEARLY 6000 RPM, REVERSED THE CRUISE AND IT RESTORED, THE GEARS ON THE AUTO TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN MESSED UP EVER SINCE.

MELTING DASHBOARD. IT HINDERING ME TO SEE THE ROAD CLEARLY

I NOTICED THAT MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS A DESIGN DEFECT. WHEN YOU START UP THE ENGINE THE SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER LIGHTS UP AUTOMATICALLY, EVEN IF THE DRIVING LIGHTS ARE TURNED OFF. AT NIGHT TIME, THIS CAN LEAD THE DRIVER TO BELIEVE THAT HIS DRIVING LIGHTS ARE ON AS WELL, SINCE MOST OTHER CARS REQUIRE FOR THE LIGHTS TO BE TURNED ON, IN ORDER TO TURN ON THE ILLUMINATION ON THE SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER. I HAVE SEEN OTHER NISSAN ALTIMAS DRIVEN AT NIGHT (INCLUDING A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA HYBRID), WHICH LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS COMMON DESIGN FLAW FOR THESE CARS. *TR

UPDATED 04/25/11 *BF UPDATED 1/18/2012 *LN THE CONSUMER STATED MECHANIC INFORMED HIM THE PISTON RINGS ARE DEFECTIVE. *TR

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY , AND THE AIRBAGS FAILED, THEY DID NOT DEPLOY. WAS TOLD BY THE FIRE DEPT, AND THE HIGHWAY PATROL THEY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THERE WAS MAJOR FRONT DAMAGE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH SHE CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH WAS INCLUDED IN A 4 CAR PILE-UP.

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

SINCE OCTOBER 2010, I HAVE HAD TO GET OIL CHANGES AT LEAST 1000 MILES SOONER (LATELY IT'S BEEN MORE) THAN THE 3000 MILE MARK. THE MECHANICS HAVE NOT FOUND AN EXTERNAL LEAK, AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY TWO MECHANICS THAT MY ENGINE HAS TO BE CONSUMING THE OIL SINCE IT IS NOT LEAKING. I CALLED NISSAN (AND A FEW DEALERS), AND THEY ALL SAID THAT MY VIN DID NOT QUALIFY FOR A RECALL. MY CAR HAS THE SAME ISSUE AS THE OTHERS THAT WERE RECALLED, SO IS NISSAN REQUIRED TO CHECK IT OR FIX IT?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE DIFFERENT TIMES INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AS THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V527000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

2006 CERTIFIED USED NISSAN ALTIMA WILL NOT COME IN AND OUT OF "PARK", OR INTO "REVERSE" WHILE TRYING TO GO INTO "PARK". SHIFTER AND RELATED PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH NO SUCCESS IN SEPTEMBER 2010. PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE FEBRUARY 2009. CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALERS MULTIPLE TIMES TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM WITH NO SUCCESS. SHIFTER AND ELECTRONIC MODULE REPLACED LATER SEPTEMBER 2010. PROBLEM CAME BACK WITHIN 48 HOURS OF GETTING CAR FROM DEALERSHIP. OWNED CAR FOR ONLY 8 MONTHS BEFORE PROBLEM AROSE. *TR

ENGINE VIBRATION: BROKEN MOTOR MOUNT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE HAVING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR UNRELATED ISSUES SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR SUBFRAME WAS CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND SHE WAS INFORMED HER VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V046000, SUSPENSION:REAR. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 102,500.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 580 IN EMERYVILLE CALIFORNIA IN EVENING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC MY CAR BEGAN TO JERK RAPIDLY AND THEN STOPPED WHILE IN TRAFFIC, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AFTER 5 ATTEMPTS THE CAR STARTED. THIS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE TRAVELING TO WORK ON HIGHWAY 50 AND ALSO WHILE DRIVING ON SURFACE STREETS. THIS MAKES ME NERVOUS AND FEARFUL WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND FINALLY AFTER THE STOPPING MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE AND AT RED LIGHTS, I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND WAS ADVISED MY CRANKSHAFT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THERE WAS A RECALL PER NISSAN AMERICA FOR THIS KNOWN ISSUE. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND WAS ADVISED MY VIN# WAS PART OF THE RECALL BUT THE DAMAGED CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WOULD NOT BE REPLACED, ONLY A RESET OF THE ECM. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE ECM WOULD NOT BE RESET DUE TO THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON DUE TO THE FAULTY CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. I WAS ALSO CHARGED FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH BASICALLY CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM THAT SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS ALREADY AWARE OF PER THE VIN#. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA AND A THE FAULTY CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WHICH CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STOP. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE DUE TO FEAR THAT THE CAR WILL STOP AND CAUSE A PILEUP AND OR EVEN DEATH. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AMERICA @1 800 647 7261 AND THEY ARE NOT COOPERATIVE. THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE HOWEVER WILL NOT REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THEN I STRONGLY FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART. CUSTOMERS SHOULD NOT FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES WHEN DRIVING AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO REPAIR A KNOWN DEFECT. I AM CONSIDERING TAKING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST NISSAN SINCE THEY FAILED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND RESOLVE MY ISSUE. *TR

RUSTED FLOOR BOARD WITHIN 4 YEARS OF LIFE OF VEHICLE.

MY CAR STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. ISSUE COVERED UNDER 07V527000. DEALER REPROGRAMMED ECM, HOWEVER ISSUE IS THAT THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR OVERHEATED, WHICH IS THE ACTUAL DEFECT, WHICH MANUFACTURER SHOULD PAY TO REPLACE. DEALER REPLACED THE SENSOR AT A COST OF $370 TO ME. *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. THIS IS DANGEROUS ON FREEWAY SINCE YOU CANNOT KEEP UP THE SPEED AND COULD BE HIT BE THE REAR VEHICLES. *TR

ON SEPT 3RD 2010 (LABOR DAY WEEKEND), I DROVE ON I-17 (AZ) AT ABOUT 70 MPH FOR ABOUT HALF AN HOUR. THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST THE ACCELERATION. NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL, THERE IS NO ACCELERATION. THE ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE CAR QUICKLY DECELERATE. I HAD TO TURN ON EMERGENCY LIGHT AND MOVED OUT. THEN I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND HAD THE CODE READ. P2138, ERROR WITH PEDAL POSITION SENSOR AND THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR.

ON JULY 4TH 2013 (INDEPENDENCE DAY), I DROVE ON HIGHWAY 87 AT ABOUT 70 MPH FOR 1 HOUR AND THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION. ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT WAS ON. I HAD TO DRIVE BACK AT NO MORE THAN 40MPH OR THE DECELERATION OCCURRED AT HIGHER SPEED. I WENT TO AUTOZONE AGAIN FOR CODE READING. SAME CODE P2138. THEN I SENT THE CAR TO SEARS. SEARS REPLACED GAS PEDAL SENSOR AND THROTTLE BODY. ON SEPTEMBER 1ST 2013 (LABOR DAY WEEKEND), I DROVE ON HIGHWAY 101 AT 70MPH FOR 1 HOUR AND THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION. ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT WAS ON. SEARS GOT THE SAME ERROR CODE P2138. SEARS RE-TRAINED THE ELECTRONIC SENSOR PROGRAM. ON SEPTEMBER 10TH 2013, I SENT THE CAR FOR EMISSION TEST. DURING THE TEST WHEN TECHNICIAN PRESS GAS PEDAL, ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT WAS ON. SEARS GOT THE SAME ERROR CODE P2138. SEARS ASKED ME TO SEND THE CAR TO NISSAN DEALER. NISSAN DEALER (THE SAME DEALER BUT NAME CHANGED TO AUTONATION NISSAN AT TEMPE) GOT THE SAME CODE P2138. NISSAN DEALER RE-TRAINED THE ELECTRONIC SENSOR PROGRAM AND RETURNED THE CAR TO ME ON SEPTEMBER 12TH 2013. ON SEPTEMBER 13TH 2013, I TRIED THE CAR ON HIGHWAY.

THE FAILURE COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A CRASH WHILE ENTERING A BUSY INTERSECTION. THE CONTACT NOTICED A RECALL 07V527000 REGARDING THE ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT PERFORM A RECALL REPAIR DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON IN THE VEHICLE. IN ORDER FOR THE RECALL TO BE REPAIRED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEEDED TO BE TURNED OFF. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THE RECALL AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD REISSUE THE RECALL AND INCLUDE ADDITIONAL VEHICLES SINCE THIS WAS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE FOR HIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2 YEARS AGO, I STARTED HEARING A CLICKING NOISE COMING OUT OF MY 3.5L ENGINE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALER AND HE SAID I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE ($6000). I DROVE THE CAR FOR ANOTHER 3K MILES AND THE NOISE CONTINUED AND BECAME LOUDER. IT SOUNDS LIKE AN [XXX]MOVIE PROJECTOR. I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER NISSAN DEALER WHO TOLD ME THE PRIMARY TIMING CHAIN GUIDE WAS CAUSING THE NOISE. I SUSPECT THAT NISSAN KNOWS OF THIS DEFECT IN THE TIMING CHAIN WHICH CAUSES THE TIMING CHAIN GUIDE TO BECOME DAMAGED. I HAVE ALSO READ IT HAPPENS BETWEEN 20K TO 80K MILES. ANYWAY, IF THE TIMING CHAIN JUMPS IT CAUSE SERIOUS INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE. I HAVE TALKED WITH NISSAN CONSUMERS AFFAIR GROUP WITH NO RESULTS. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATE AND NISSAN OWNERS WARNED OF THIS ENGINE DEFECT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*TR

2006 NISSAN ALTIMA SER. WHEN DRIVING THE CLUTCH SINKS. SEVERAL PUMPS WILL GET IT BACK IN ORDER. ALSO AT TIMES ON A COLD START IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE THE CLUTCH DISENGAGES COMPLETELY. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA BRAND NEW IN 2005. THE CAR HAS BEEN GREAT BUT I SOLD THE CAR AT AN AUCTION AND RECEIVED A CALL THE NEXT DAY THAT THE CAR WAS IN ARBITRATION BECAUSE THE FLOOR BOARDS WERE RUSTED. I ASKED THEM TO VERIFY THE PROBLEM AND GET BACK TO ME. THEY CALLED ME BACK AND INDEED, THEY SAID THAT YOU COULD PUSH YOUR FINGER RIGHT THROUGH THE FLOOR BOARDS ON THE PASSENGER AND DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR BOARDS. *TR

2006 NISSAN ALTIMA S/SL. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVE TROUBLE WITH MY 2006 ALTIMA SE-R SINCE BUYING IT AT 52K MILES. IT'S LIKE EVERYONE ELSE; THE CLUTCH GETS REAL FLOPPY AND LOOSES PRESSURE UNTIL IT SINKS TO THE FLOOR AND WONT RETURN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ABOUT 30 OR 40 TIMES SINCE BUYING THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2009, BUT I CAN'T REPLICATE FOR THE DEALER. THEY ALSO SAY THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE, AND NOBODY HAS EVER COMPLAINED ABOUT IT TO THEM - APPARENTLY THEY ARE LYING. THIS AFTERNOON, I WAS DRIVING MY SON HOME FROM DAYCARE, AND THE CLUTCH DID THIS VERY THING, BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME, I COULD NOT GET THE CAR OUT OF GEAR AND I WAS IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC. I ALMOST HIT THE GUY IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN I FINALLY YANKED IT OUT OF GEAR, I COULDN'T PUT IT BACK INTO GEAR BECAUSE THE CLUTCH WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR. I SAT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR AN HOUR WITH MY 14 MONTH OLD SON IN 99 DEGREE HEAT WAITING FOR THE CLUTCH TO "REPAIR ITSELF". THIS IS BOGUS AND NISSAN NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THEIR RESPONSIBILITY OF FIXING THESE CARS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *TR

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING INDICATING THE AIR BAG MAY NOT BE WORKING RIGHT. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND PAID $115 TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP SAID THE SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. DEALERSHIP NOTED ON MY RECEIPT (RECOMMENDED SERVICE: PASSENGER SIDE OCCUPANT SENSOR $1,617.26 OTD). I DECLINED TO REPLACE SENSOR DUE TO THE OUTRAGEOUS COST FOR A FAILED SAFETY FEATURE IN A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. *TR

2006 NISSAN ALTIMA SE - 4 CYLINDER ENGINE, CAR JERKS WHEN RUNNING AT 60 MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL - LEVEL TERRAIN, LOOSES POWER. CAR EXHIBITS HARD STARTING, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. MECHANIC CHECKS CODES AND SAYS IT IS THE CRANK SENSOR, NISSAN CHECKS CODES AND SAYS IT MAY BE BOTH CAM AND CRANK SENSORS. CAR HAS 24,000 MILES AND HAS ALREADY HAD THE ECM REPROGRAMMED UNDER AND EARLIER RECALL. CAR IS CURRENTLY AT TROPHY NISSAN DALLAS BEING REPAIRED AT MY EXPENSE. THESE TWO SENSORS ARE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AS THOUSANDS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON THIS MODEL YEAR 2002-2006. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA (BRAND NEW) 2 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT, A RECALL REQUIRED A "NEW" ENGINE BE INSTALLED. SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP FOR RECALLS. MY PROBLEM NOW IS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, AND MY CAR SHUT OFF ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I POPPED INTO AUTO ZONE TO CHECK IT OUT AND IT IS THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ON THE 2006 ALTIMA'S BUT MINE IS NOT INCLUDED. SO I AM SUPPOSED TO PAY 397.00 TO HAVE THIS FIXED! I DON'T THINK SO. I FEEL I WAS SOLD A LEMON. AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR!! I CAN NOT DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE IT SHUTS OF OR ALMOST SHUTS OFF AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 45 TO 60. NISSAN SHOULD RECALL ALL 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA'S FOR THIS PROBLEM! *TR

2006 NISSAN ALTIMA, BOUGHT NEW, CONSUMES OIL WITH NO VISIBLE LEAKS. OIL MUST BE ADDED EVERY WEEK TO KEEP ADEQUATE LEVELS IN ENGINE. DEALERSHIP SAYS THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS TO PUT IN A NEW ENGINE WHEN THIS ONE FINALLY FAILS. THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

AFTER COMPLETING ACCELERATION AFTER A PERIOD OF SITTING IN TRAFFIC, THE CLUTCH PEDAL FELL TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT THE AID OF THE DRIVER. THE CLUTCH PEDAL LOST ALL RESISTANCE AND THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OUT OF GEAR AND INTO NEUTRAL OR ANOTHER GEAR. DRIVER HAD TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE FREEWAY AND ONTO THE SHOULDER AND COAST FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED YARDS WITH THE VEHICLE STUCK IN GEAR FOR THE CLUTCH PEDAL TO REGAIN PRESSURE SO THAT THE VEHICLE COULD BE PLACED INTO NEUTRAL. SINCE THE INITIAL INCIDENT, WHICH OCCURRED ONLY WEEKS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM A NISSAN DEALER, THE SUNKEN CLUTCH PEDAL HAS BECOME A REGULAR OCCURRENCE, NEARLY DAILY. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 ALTIMA AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON OIL CONSUMPTION, THE DEALER SAID I NEEDED A CATALYTIC CONVERTER, THEN HE SAID IT WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY, WHEN I CALLED NISSAN HQ THEY SAID I HAVE UP TO 80,000 MILES WHICH I ONLY HAVE 53,000 ON MY CAR. THE END RESULT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER CAUSED MY ENGINE TO SEIZE AND NOW I HAVE NO CAR AND STILL HAVE 10,000 DOLLARS OF CAR PAYMENTS. THE DEALER IS HILLSIDE NISSAN IN NEW JERSEY. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA THAT HAD BEEN WORKING FINE UP UNTIL YESTERDAY. WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO WORK YESTERDAY, MY CAR JUST STALLED AT A STOPLIGHT AND THEN IT WAS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO GET IT RESTARTED. THEREAFTER, MY CAR WOULD STALL AT EVERY STOPLIGHT AND STOP SIGN. THE DRIVERS THAT WERE BEHIND ME WERE CLEARLY UPSET AND FRUSTRATED AND ONE DRIVER ALMOST REAR ENDED ME. I TOOK MY CAR TO AUTOZONE SO THEY COULD HOOK IT UP TO THEIR ANALYSIS COMPUTER AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS MY CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. I AM REQUESTING THAT YOU LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BECAUSE A CAR THAT JUST STALLS FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN A FAULTY SENSOR IS UNACCEPTABLE. IN ADDITION, I DID A WEB SEARCH AND FOUND THAT MAY PEOPLE ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE SAME SENSOR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,100 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 95,996. UPDATED 08/11/10. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. WHEN SHE ARRIVED HOME AND SHE CHECK THE OIL ONLY TO DISCOVER THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. UPON INSPECTION THE CONSUMER WAS ADVISED A NEW ENGINE WAS NEEDED. UPDATED 08/17/10*JB

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA, ON 6/9/2010 THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I GOT HOME I CHECKED MY OIL AND THERE WAS NO OIL IN MY ENGINE. I CONTACTED NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO TELL THEM OF THE ISSUE AND CONTACTED CONSUMER AFFAIRS ABOUT IT. I WAS TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET CHECK OUT. I PURCHASE 2 QUARTS OF OIL ON 6/9/2010 IN WHICH I STILL HAVE THE RECEIPT FOR. I PUT 2 QUARTS OF OIL IN MY VEHICLE AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 6/15/2010. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE RUNNING A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST ON IT BECAUSE SOME OF THE 2006 NISSAN ALTIMAS HAD A RECALL FOR A OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM DUE TO FAULTY PISTON RINGS WHICH I BELIEVE CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO HAVE A BAD CAT CONVERTER. I CONTACTED THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT TO FIND OUT IF MY VEHICLE WAS IN THE RECALL AND I WAS TOLD NO. I TRULY BELIEVE MY VEHICLE IS ONE OF THE RECALL VEHICLE BECAUSE WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK ON 7/7/2010 I WAS TOLD THAT IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE AND MEASURED UNDER 20 FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I WOULD LIKE A INVESTIGATION TO BE CONDUCTED BECAUSE NISSAN HAS MISLEAD ALOT OF CONSUMERS ABOUT THEIR VEHICLES BEING IN THE RECALL BUT LATER AFTER ABOUT 80,000 MILES AFTER THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY EXPIRES THEN THE VEHICLE STARTS EXPERIENCE THESE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEMS. I WAS TOLD ON 7/7/2010 BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT HE WILL PUT A CLAIM THROUGH TO THE EXTENDED SERVICE AGREEMENT DEPARTMENT TO PROVIDE ME WITH THE NECESSARY REPAIRS WHICH IS TO GIVE MY VEHICLE A NEW ENGINE DUE TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM AND I WAS TOLD THAT THIS SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED SERVICE AGREEMENT WARRANTY FREE OF CHARGE. I AM AWAITING A DECISION. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE MY VEHICLE COULD STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND I CAN BE KILLED INSTANTLY ALONG WITH MY FAMILY AND OTHERS. ALL 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA'S NEED TO BE RECALLED TO BE TESTED FOR THIS OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM DUE TO FAULTY PISTON RINGS. *TR
