ON APRIL 27, 2020, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY @ABOUT 70MPH AND MY CAR JUST SHUT IT SELF OFF, I TRIED TO CRANK IT OVER AND OVER AND WOULDNT STARTBACK UP BEFORE I HAD TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY. I HAD NO WARNING OR NOTHING. IT WOULDNT START BACK UP UNTIL HOURS LATER AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. WHEN I SAY HRS I'M MEANING ATLEAST 6HRS. ON APRIL 28TH 2020 I WENT TO START MY CAR AGAIN THIS MORNING AND IT WOULDNT START AGAIN. I HAVENT TRIED IT SINCE. I WAS TOLD THAT IT CAN BE THE CRANKSENOR I DID A TOTAL RECALL ON MY CAR AND IT SAIDS THERE IS A RECALL ON IT BUT NOT FOR MY CAR.

BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON 9/19/2018. PRIOR TO COMPLETING THE SERVICE THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS RUSTING UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER SIDE. I COULDN'T PICTURE WHAT THEY WERE DESCRIBING SO I ASKED TO SEE AND I TOOK A PICTURE. SUBSEQUENTLY, I WAS INFORMED BY SOMEONE ELSE (NOT NISSAN) THAT THIS HAS BEEN A LONG STANDING ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE, MODEL & YEAR (2006). IT POTENTIALLY COULD AFFECT MY SUSPENSION/STEERING AND ALSO CAUSE A PASSENGER TO FALL THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE. I FOUND OUT THAT THEY EVEN SENT OUT A 13 PAGE ILLUSTRATED BULLETIN TITLED "FLOOR PANEL REPAIR" ON 7/6/2015 TO THE DEALERS ABOUT A KIT THEY DEVELOPED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM; YET, THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL. JUST TODAY, 12/11/19, I INCIDENTALLY FOUND OUT MY PARTICULAR DEALERSHIP HAS HAD NUMEROUS CASES FOR THE NISSAN PATHFINDER. UNSURE OF WHAT YEAR(S) BUT IT WAS A HUGE ISSUE AND THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A RECALL IN THOSE INSTANCES. THERE IS A HISTORY OF THIS WITH ALTIMAS 2002-2006 & MAXIMAS 2004-2008. I'VE ATTACHED A COPY OF THE BULLETIN. BUT WHAT MADE MATTERS WORSE WAS BETWEEN 1/9/19-3/20/19 THERE WERE A NUMBER OF SEVERE POTHOLES ON NJ 95 SOUTH OF WHICH KNOCKED MY SUSPENSION/STEERING OFF. (55-60MPH). IT FELT LIKE ALL OF THE WHEELS WERE COMING OFF. THIS ADDS TO THE RISK THE ERRODING PANEL LEADING TO THE AXLES, OTHER SUSPENSION, ETC. POSES & COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING.

I TOOK MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA TO THE SHOP TO PURCHASE TIRES AND UPON PUTTING THE VEHICLE ON A LIFT, THE MECHANIC CALLED ME BACK TO SHOW ME A GAPING HOLE ON BOTH THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IF THE CARPET WERE LIFTED, YOU COULD SEE THROUGH TO THE ROAD ON BOTH SIDES. BOTH FLOORBOARD PANELS WERE RUSTED INCREDIBLY BADLY. AT ANY TIME MY DOG OR GRANDCHILDREN COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. I AM UNAWARE OF HOW LONG THE HOLES HAVE BEEN THERE BUT JUDGING FROM THE SEVERITY OF THE RUST, I WOULD SAY IT HAS BEEN 5+ YEARS SINCE THEY STARTED RUSTING. IT WAS HUGE GAPING HOLES, SO MUCH SO THAT I BOUGHT A NEW CAR.

Mileage: 113,043

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY ENGINE TWICE, MY EMERGENCY BREAKS STOPPED WORKING AND THE I THINK IT'S CALLED THE TRANSMISSION BUT ANYWAYS MY CAR TENDS TO JERK AND HESITATES TO CRANK SOMETIMES. I HAVE HAD MY STARTER LOOKED AT AND REPLACED AND ALSO BATTERY BUT IT STILL HAPPENS. I HAVE HAD THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS LOOK INTO IT AND THE COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT.

NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP FOR THEIR HORRIBLE VCT TRANSMISSIONS. I HAVE AN ALTIMA AND TRANSMISSION JUST WENT OUT ON ME. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND THERE IS THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS WITH TYE SAME ISSUE!!! THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON CVT TRANSMISSIONS AS THEY ARENT MENT TO BE PUT ON CARS AND NISSAN KNOWS THIS! NOW IM BEING TOLD IT COST THOUSANDS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. FOR WHAT FOR ANOTHER CRAPPY TRANSMISSION WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS. RECALL NOW!!!

TAKATA RECALL THE CAR USES EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL AND GETS POOR GAS MILEAGE. THE CAR ALSO HAS SLIPPING TRANSMISSION AT TIMES WHEN EXCELERATING. SUSPENSION IS ALSO AN ISSUE.

DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR RUSTING OUT~YOU CAN SEE UNDERNEATH THE CAR THRU THE GAS LATCH AREA. I JUST NOTICED IT WHEN I GOT IN AND THE FLOOR FELT FLEXIBLE, WHEN I LOOKED, THE FLOOR'S GONE NEAR THE LEFT REAR SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S AREA.

WHEN DRIVING MY CAR CLOSE 65 MILES THERE IS LIKE A SMALL CUT OF OF POWER THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON , I PUT THE OBD SCANNER AND FOUND THAT THE EMC, ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE NEEDS REPROGRAMED, AND THE CPS CRANSHAFT POSITION SENSOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY... I READ THAT SOME NISSAN WHERE UNDER RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT DEALER DO NOT WANT TO TAKE CARE OF MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY SAID IS NOT UNDER RECALL.I READ THAT THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CAR CAN TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING.

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 07V-527 SUMMARY THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CAN OVERHEAT CAUSING A BRIEF INTERRUPTION IN THE SIGNAL OUTPUT FROM THE SENSOR.

THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR FOR SOME 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA'S. MY CAR HAS CONTINUALLY NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS LIST BUT I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS EQUIPMENT. 2 YEARS AGO I REPLACED THAT SENSOR AND RESET THE CRANKSHAFT POS AND REPROGRAMED THE ECM. NOW AGAIN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT IS THE SAME SENSOR THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND YET I AM STILL NOT ON THE RECALL LIST FOR THIS DEFECT. I AM SURE THAT OTHER INDIVIDUALS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. MY CAR ALSO CONSUMES OIL AT AN IRREGULAR PACE, WHICH IS ANOTHER RECALL, YET MY CAR IS NOT ON THAT RECALL EITHER.

I HAVE HAD OVER THREE PROFESSIONAL MECHANICS TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND NOBODY KNOWS WHAT IT IS, IT JUST DOES IT WHENEVER IT WANTS. NO MATTER THE WEATHER OR ENGINE TEMPERATURE OR VOLTAGE OR FUEL PRESSURE,

THIS IS THE SECOND NISSAN ALTIMA THAT HAS BEEN ON WITH ME AND MY FAMILY THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT AND COSTING US A FORTUNE THE 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA AND NOW THIS 2006 I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT I GOT THE GREEN LIGHT TO GO WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS ALL THE SUDDEN THERE WAS A POP WITH SOME GRINDING AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO

NISSAN MECHANIC THE 5 SPEED AUTO IN THE 3.5L ALTIMA IS COMPLETEY DIFFERENT AND IS KNOWN TO HAVE VALVE BODY ISSUES FROM THE BUSHES DISTORTING IN THE SOLENOIDS AND CAUSING THEM TO HAND UP AND CAUSE HARD SHIFTS

Mileage: 169,056

1. CAR RANDOMLY HAS SLOW ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. I CAN TURN OFF THE CAR, WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND IT BEGINS WORKING OK AGAIN. 2. CAR SOMETIMES RANDOMLY LOSES POWER WITH NO WARNING. 3. SOMETIMES IF IT STALLS AND EVENTUALLY CRANKS UP, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES SLOW ACCELERATION ISSUES AGAIN BUT THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I HAVE TAKEN TAKEN THIS CAR TO THE SHOP REPEATED AND THEY DON'T PULL ANYTHING ON THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. NO PROBLEM CAN BE FOUND. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY, CHANGED OUR CAN SENSOR, CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY, EVERYTHING SEEMS GOOD FOR A LITTLE WHILE (FEW DAYS OR COUPLE OF WEEKS) AND THEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENS AGAIN. I READ IN VARIOUS FORUMS THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE HAPPENING WITH MANY ALTIMAS FOR VARIOUS MODEL YEARS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISSUE HAS NOT CALLED FOR A NATIONAL RECALL. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! MY FRIEND ALSO HAS A 2006 ALTIMA AND HER CAR HAS BEGUN TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING!. PLEASE HELP. THE FIRST TIME IT LOST POWER IT WAS DURING A MORNING COMMUTE TO WORK WHILE DRIVING ON THE CALIFORNIA 91 FREEWAY! IT REALLY TERRIFIED ME BECAUSE I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR INVOLVED IN A VERY BAD ACCIDENT. MOST RECENT INCIDENT HAPPENED LAST WEEK. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY OR LONG DISTANCES. I HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR THE WEEKEND BECAUSE I HAD TO WORK TODAY, AND BEING SATURDAY, THE COMMUTER BUS THAT I NOW TAKE TO WORK BECAUSE I DON'T TRUST MY CAR, DOES NOT RUN ON THE WEEKENDS. I WANT TO GET A NEW CAR BUT CAN'T AFFORD HAVING MONTHLY PAYMENTS AGAIN. I DIDN'T START HAVING ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR UNTIL IT WAS PAID OFF.

I PURCHASED MY 2006 ALTIMA 2.5 SL USED NOTICED THAT IT WAS LOOSING OIL EXTREMELY FAST YET WAS NOT LEAKING FROM ANYWHERE OR LEAVING OIL MARKS AFTER BEING PARKED IMMEDIATELY AFTER A COMPLETE OIL CHANGE AND NEW FILTER IT WOULD BE BLACK AND BURNED BY THE TIME I GOT HOME AND RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING FROM FL TO SOUTH CAROLINA MY ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE IN MOTION

Mileage: 144,000

MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA FAILED THE YEARLY MASSACHUSETTS INSPECTION. THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD WAS RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED TO PASS INSPECTION. IN SPEAKING WITH THE MECHANIC, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR ALTIMAS. I WANTED TO ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE 100S OF OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD TO REPAIR THIS VEHICLE DEFECT WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR HELP FROM NISSAN. THANK GOODNESS FOR AN ALERT MECHANIC!

Mileage: 97,291

CRANKSHIFT SENSOR FAILURE CAUSES CAR TO JERK AND THEN SHUT DOWN WITHOUT ANY NOTICE AN WARNING. SEVERAL 100S OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND 2006 MODELS HAD RECALLS BUT SPECIAL EDITIONS WERE NOT INCLUDED. IT IS SO UNSAFE AND VARIOUS PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN CLOSE TO HORRIBLE ACCIDENTS DUE TO IT. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE!

Mileage: 104,200

MELTING DASHBOARD. IT HINDERING ME TO SEE THE ROAD CLEARLY

"TAKATA RECALL" I NEED TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST NISSAN FOR THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS, FIRST IS THE PAINT IN MY CAR. I JUST PURCHASED MY CAR 2 YEARS AGO AT A DEALER AND THE CARS PAINT AND CLEAR IS FADING AND MY CAR LOOKS UGLY, I HAVE QUOTED AT A PAINT BODY SHOP AND THEY TRYING TO CHARGE $800 OR MORE. I AM STILL PAYING THIS CAR AND DON'T APPRECIATE THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A DEFECT FROM THE COMPANY. THE HEADLIGHT ARE AWFUL AND I CAN BARELY SEE AT NIGHT OR SPECIALLY IN THE RAIN AND AFRAID TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS.

I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 9 YEARS AND HAVE BEEN LOCKED OUT THE VEHICLE, THE ALTERNATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE CAR SHUT DOWN 1 MONTH AGO. THE CAR HAS BEEN SHUTTING DOWN FOR 4 YRS WHEN THE WEATHER CHANGES. I JUST DISCOVERED A WHOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVER SIDE GROUND. DUE TO RUST THERE IS A WHOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR

Mileage: 95,000

TRANSMISSION TOTALLY GAVE OUT ON A BUSY HIGHWAY CAUSING A MAJOR TRAFFIC HAZARD. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT.

Mileage: 130,000

THE FLOOR BOARDS ARE RUSTING OUT ON OUR CAR. YOU CAN SEE THE CARPET PADDING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. THIS IS OCCURRING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AS WELL. WE ALWAYS MAINTAIN OUR VEHICLES AND THIS SITUATION IS VERY ALARMING TO US.

THE FLOORS BOARDS ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES HAVE RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING A PROBLEM WITH FUMES IN THE CAR

Mileage: 150,000

HAD NORMALLY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON 2006 ALTIMA TO INCLUDE TIRE ROTATION. DISCOVERED THAT THE FLOOR BOARDS ON FRONT ON BOTH SIDES ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH, I CAN SEE THE CARPET. WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION, HAVE CONTACTED A GARAGE FOR REPAIR COSTS. MY CAR IS CARPORT KEPT, I WASH WEEKLY AND IS KEPT SPOTLESS. AFTER READING THE MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION. I HAVE DRIVEN NISSANS FOR 25 YEARS, EVEN MY 14 YR. OLD SENTRA WASN'T RUSTED WHEN I SOLD IT.

I GOT A NISSAN ALTIMA AND THE FLOOR RUSTED OUT DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS SIDE I CAN SEE FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR THE CARPET THATS NOT SAFE

Mileage: 119,000

UPON INSPECTION OF MY CAR. AND SEEING NEWS REPORTS ABOUT 2002 TO 2006 NISSAN ALTIMAS. MY FLOORS ON BOTH SIDES ARE FULLY ROTTED OUT. THE REST OF THE CAR IS SOLID. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS UR FEET CAN GO THRU THE FLOOR. I HAVE PICTURES . NISSAN SHOULD HAVE A RECALL OR A FIX FOR THIS...

Mileage: 84,500

FLOOR PANEL ON DRIVER AND PASSENGER HAVE COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. I'M CONCERNED FOR MY SON'S SAFETY AS WELL AS MINE.

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.

Mileage: 112,000

FLOORBOARDS ARE RUSTING THROUGH ON DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY IF A HOLE OPENS OR IF SOMETHING COMES THROUGH FROM THE UNDERSIDE.

Mileage: 92,000

WHILE DRIVING ~25 MPH I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT AND MY CAR SPONTANEOUSLY SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC! I WAS ABLE TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND RESTART THE CAR. A FEW DAYS LATER, IT TOOK 3 ATTEMPTS BEFORE MY ENGINE STARTED. AFTER A DIAGNOSTIC, THE CAR DISPLAYED CODES P0335 (CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR) AND P0725 (ENGINE SPEED CIRCUIT SIGNAL SENSOR). AFTER DOING MUCH RESEARCH I FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH SIMILAR ISSUES! I INPUT MY VIN# TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER RECALL AND IT WASN'T. AFTER SEEING HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS, WHY HASN'T THEIR BEEN A RECALL? IF THERE WAS, HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT MY CAR WASN'T RECALLED?

Mileage: 111,590

THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. THE AREA IS APPROXIMATELY 5IN BY 12IN AND IT SEEMS THAT IT US DUE TO IMPROPER DRAINAGE FROM THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. SOUND DAMPENING MATERIAL IS APPLIED ABOVE A DRAIN HOLE NOT ALLOWING WATER TO DRAIN OUT. NOW I HAVE CONCERN WITH THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE VEHICLE SINCE THE BODY IS PART OF THE FRAME. ...UPDATED 09/28/15 *BF UPDATED 10/31/2017*CN

Mileage: 145,000

WHILE PULLING TO A STOP LIGHT, THE CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURNED OFF & ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR. IT WOULDN'T IMMEDIATELY START. THIS HAPPENS SPONTANEOUSLY IN DRIVE-THRUS, STOPLIGHTS AND WHEN COMING TO COMPLETE OR NEAR COMPLETE STOPS IN TRAFFIC AS WELL. MOST RECENTLY I WAS EXITING THE INTERSTATE EXIT AND THE CAR STOPPED AS A SLOWED TO TURN LEFT OFF THE EXIT, ALMOST RESULTING IN A CAR REAR ENDING MY VEHICLE AT 50 MILES PER HOU. THE SES (SERVICE ENGINE SOON) LIGHT IS DISPLAYED AND EVEN AFTER HAVING AN OIL CHANGE AND TUNE UP THE LIGHT IS STILL ILLUMINATED, CONFIRMING IT'S AN ONGOING ISSUE OUTSIDE OF STANDARD MAINTENANCE. I'VE BEEN PROVIDED A REFERENCE NUMBER AND DROPPED THE CAR AT NISSAN DEALERSHIP TODAY TO DIAGNOSE. IM FEARFUL OF MY SAFETY OPERATING THE VEHICLE AT THIS POINT.

Mileage: 159,000

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 ALTIMA ON 6/8/15 FOR A FEW MINUTES AFTER STARTING IT WHEN IT HAD BEEN PARKED FOR MORE THAN 12 HOURS, THE CAR STALLED. IT RESTARTED AND I CONTINUED TO DRIVE. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THIS OCCURRED AGAIN EXACTLY THE SAME. THEN THE NEXT DAY, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING ONLY A FEW HOURS AND "THREW A CODE" , I.E. THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON. TODAY, 6/13/15, IT OCCURRED AGAIN WHEN DRIVING A FEW MINUTES AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING FOR MORE THAN 8 HOURS. THIS TIME THE CAR ALMOST WOULDN'T RESTART. I LOOKED UP THIS ISSUE AND FOUND A RECALL ON THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I TOOK THE CAR TO COURTESY NISSAN WHO TOLD ME THAT MY CAR DID NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL. AFTER THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM VIA THE CODE, IT WAS THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR.

Mileage: 100,100

I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE GARAGE INFORMED ME THAT THE FLOOR BOARD ON THE DRIVER SIDE WAS RUSTED OUT SO BAD THAT YOU COULD TOUCH THE CARPET FROM THE BOTTOM. ALSO THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS RUSTED WITH A HOLE BUT NOT AS BIG AS THE DRIVER SIDE. I AM NOT SURE WHY NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS BEING THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS. THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE CONSIDERING IT WILL NOT PASS A SAFETY INSPECTION.

Mileage: 105,000

THE FLOOR BOARDS ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER HAVE ROOTED OUT ALMOST COMPLETELY ON MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. I HAVE NOTICED THIS A ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND IT HAS GOT INCREASINGLY WORSE SINCE. I CAN PUSH THE CARPET UP FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE AND FEEL VERY UNSAFE. I AM CAREFUL NOT TO PUT WEIGHT ON THE FLOORS WHILE ENTERING THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR I AM GOING TO PUT MY FOOT THROUGH THE FLOOR. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE DUE TO A FLAWED DESIGN IN THE DRAIN SYSTEM. THE FLOORBOARDS HOLD WATER WHICH MAY ACCUMULATE THROUGH THE DOOR WHILE RAINING AND SALT AND WATER FROM THE UNDER SIDE. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL AND MAKE NISSAN FIX THESE VEHICLES THAT COULD STAY ON THE ROAD FOR MANY MORE YEARS. MY CAR HAS 109K MILES ON IT AND IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE AND RUNS VERY WELL. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO DO THIS JOB MYSELF OR PAY 1,000 TO GET IT FIXED.

Mileage: 109,000

2006 NISSAN ALTIMA SL 3.5 V6, CANNOT READ CODES FROM ECU. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, CAR WILL TAKE OFF SLOW AND BUILD UP SPEED ALMOST LIKE IT IS HAVING A POWER SURGE. DURING DRIVING THE GAS PEDAL HAS TO BE PRESSES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO GAIN SPEED AT DANGEROUSLY SLOW RATES, AT TIMES AT A FULL STOP THE CAR TAKES A DANGEROUS AMOUNT OF TIME TO BUILD UP SPEED. *TR

Mileage: 113,000

I NOTICED A LARGE AMOUNT OF RUST/HOLES FORMING UNDER MY 06 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH 80K ON IT. IT'S ALL IN THE FLOOR BOARDS, DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. IN FIRST NOTICED IT BACK IN THE SUMMER OF 2014....A FEW MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. I SAW THE NEWS TODAY ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE I NOTICED. WE NEED A RECALL FOR SAFETY. CAUSE IT WILL BECOME ONE. I WILL SUE IF MY FOOT GOES THRU THE FLOOR. *TR

Mileage: 80,600

THE FLOORBOARDS OF THE CAR HAS A HOLE. *TR

THE CAR STALLED AND COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT. SINCE THIS TIME, THE CAR HAS DONE THIS MULTIPLE TIMES. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT 25 MILES PER HOUR AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO PULL OVER THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND RESTART THE CAR. IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR INTO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, OUR 2006 ALTIMA WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. *TR

Mileage: 135,000

THE FLOOR BOARD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS RUSTED OUT. ABOUT THE SIZE OF 12"X12".I HAVE CHECKED ON LINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH 2002-2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THIS IS A UNSAFE ISSUE. WHY HAS NISSAN NOT CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM?THIS WAS A ISSUE YEARS AGO WITH CARS. THE METAL MUST BE OF VERY POOR QUALITY.

Mileage: 101,631

MY CAR HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING PULLING SINCE LAST YEAR. I FAMILY MEMBER INFORMED ME THAT THE PROBLEM SOUNDED LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING BAD AND THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE THE CAR CHECKED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND PAID FOR A DIAGMOSTIC INPSECTION. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP REPORTED NO PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE (WHICH I HAD TO HAVE REPLACED WHEN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW) AND REPORTED NO PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED THE BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED IN THE FRONT. I GOT THE ISSUE TAKEN CARE OF AND THE PROBLEM STILLS OCCURS WITH MY CAR AND IT STILL JERKS/PULLS WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN DRIVE AND AM ON THE ROAD. I THINK THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IS BEING TRUTHFUL AND HONEST ABOUT THE SITUATION. WHEN I WAS THERE ONE OF THE SALES REPS ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO TRADE MY CAR IN. I COULD HEAR THE OTHER SALESPERSON/MECHANIC TALK TO ANOTHER PERSON ABOUT MY CAR AND POSSIBLE OPEN RECALLS, BUT NEVER ADDRESSED THIS WITH ME. I CONTACTED THE 1800 NUMBER REGARDING A RECALL ON MY CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS STILL A RECALL OPEN AND I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. THE REP TOLD ME TO TAKE MY CARE IN AND GET IT CHECKED AGAIN. WHEN I CONTACTED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THE PERSON WAS SHORT PATIENCE WITH ME AND TOLD ME THAT I DID NOT NEED TO GET IT CHECKED BECAUSE IT WAS ALREADY REPLACED IN 2006. I FEEL LIKE I AM DRIVING A CAR THAT WILL EVENTUALLY BREAK DOWN OR FALL APART WHILE I AM DRIVING. I HAVE PUT SEVERAL TIRES ON MY CAR AND IT SEEMS LIKE I STILL HEAR A STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM THE WHEELS EVEN WHEN I HAVE PLACED NEW ROTORS AND BRAKES ON THE FRONT AND BACK WHEELS.

Mileage: 65,000

FLOOR PANS ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER ARE RUSTED WITH LARGE PERFORATION HOLES INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. DO NOT KNOW IF VEHICLE IS SAFE TO OPERATE SINCE WATER VISIBLY ENTER THE CAR WHEN IT RAINS, AND NISSAN CANNOT ASSURE THAT THE SEAT ATTACHED TO THE CAR ARE NOT COMPROMISED BY THE RUSTING. *JS

CLUTCH PEDAL SINKS TO THE FLOOR BOARD OF MY NISSAN ALTIMA 3.5 SE, THE CLUTCH FLUID IS AT FULL CAPACITY AND WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION AT A RED LIGHT OR EVEN AT A STILL MOTION THE CLUTCH GOES COMPLETELY DOWN OR OUT...I HAVE HAD MY FLUIDS CHECKED AND IT IS FULL....THIS AS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR AT 52,000 MILES AND CONTINUES TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM TO THIS VERY DAY.....NISSIAN 3.5 CARS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT NISSAN FAILS TO RECOGNIZE THIS AS A RECALL PROBLEM....BUT EVERYONE IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM 3.5 - 5 (SPEEDS) WITH THIS CAR AND THIS MODEL.....THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM IN SLOWED TRAFFIC AND CANNOT SHIFT PROPERLY...THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY BE ADDRESSED AND THE PROBLEM RESOLVED....FATALITIES SHOULD NOT BE THEIR REASON TO ENFORCE THIS ISSUE.

Mileage: 52,000

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 ONCE WAS TOLD BY BOB BELL NISSAN THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. AND NOW 2 YEARS LATER I RECEIVE A LETTER STATING THAT MY NISSAN 2006 ALTIMA IS ONE OF THE RECALL VEHICLE ON THE LIST .AND IM CONTACTING YOU FOR THIS REASON. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW NISSAN ALTIMA APR 16 2006. ON JUNE 15 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM NISSAN NTH AMERICA SAYING THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH ALTIMAS - THEY WERE LOSING OIL TOO FAST. I CHECKED MY OIL AND WITH 2950 MILES IT WAS EMPTY. I TOWED THE CAR TO THE DEALER, WHO SAID THE OIL WAS BLACK, THE ENGINE WAS NO GOOD, AND IT NEEDS A NEW MOTOR. I DON'T WANT A NEW MOTOR, I DON'T WANT THEM TO FIX THE CAR. I WANT MY MONEY BACK. THE LETTER STATED THE PROBLEM COULD CAUSE A FIRE IF UNCHECKED. THE DEALER HAS SINCE REPORTED THAT THERE WAS A 3 MONTH PERIOD OF PRODUCTION OF THESE CARS THAT ARE AFFECTED. NOW THEY WANT ME TO HAVE THEM FILL UP THE OIL, DRIVE FOR ANOTHER 700 MILES AND RETEST THE CAR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *JB

Mileage: 2,950

I PURCHASED A NEW 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA ON MAY 27, 2006. I CHOOSE NISSAN SINCE I WAS A CURRENT OWNER AND ENJOYED THE PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY OF MY VEHICLE. AFTER TAKING DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE, I READ IN THE PAPER ON JUNE 2, 2006, THAT NISSAN HAD ORDERED DEALERS TO DISCONTINUE SELLING CERTAIN MODELS OF ALTIMAS AND SENTRA SE-RS FOR WHAT WAS DESCRIBED AS AN OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. THE ALTIMAS AFFECTED WERE VIN NUMBERS IN THE RANGE OF 1N4AL11D16-C174681 THROUGH 1N4AL11D16-C231328, WHICH APPLIES TO MY VEHICLE. *JB

Mileage: 450

I PURCHASED A 2006 2.5 S NISSAN IN GOOD FAITH. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT AS LONG AS THE OIL CHANGES ARE ALWAYS CURRENT I WILL NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR BLOWING UP. I AM A 25 YEARS OLD YOUNG WOMAN WITH A CHILD, AND I AM NOT WILLING TO TAKE THAT RISK. OF COURSE I WILL CHANGE MY OIL, BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT. THE POINT IS THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THIS CAR CAUSING IT TO EXPLODE. I TRIED TALKING TO SOME ONE AT YOUR CAR SAFETY COMMISSION AND WAS TOLD THAT UNTIL THE CAR BLOWS UP, THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. WELL I CAN'T COME BACK FROM THE GRAVE AND HAVE IT FIXED. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU ALL ARE WILLING TO LET SOMEONE DIE BEFORE REACTING ON SUCH A SERIOUS PROBLEM. *JB
