2006 Nissan Altima complaints

RUSTED FLOOR BOARD WITHIN 4 YEARS OF LIFE OF VEHICLE.

MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA'S VIN NUMBER IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR RECALL ANNOUNCED IN 2007 THAT DEALS WITH THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR BEING OVERHEATED, WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO CUT OFF WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN STOPPED AT STOPLIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS. I FIRST EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM IN THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST AND IT HAS CONTINUED EVER SINCE. I EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM DAILY WITH MY CAR AND IT HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST GET INTO ACCIDENTS MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT FOR SOME REASON THE VIN NUMBER ON MY CAR ISN'T ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM. WHEN I AM DRIVING AND STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR STOPLIGHT IMMEDIATELY MY CARS ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DROPS BELOW COLD, THEN THE CAR BEGINS TO RATTLE, THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE CAR WILL CUT OFF. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I TRAVEL AT LOW SPEEDS, SUCH AS 10MPH, WHICH HAS CAUSED TO ALMOST GET INTO ACCIDENTS A MULTITUDE OF TIMES. THE PROBLEM OCCURS ON ANY ROAD AS LONG AS I'M STOPPED OR GOING BELOW 10MPH. THE PROBLEM OCCURS EVERYDAY NOW AND AT EVERY STOP I MAKE AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. SINCE NISSAN KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE IN CARS OF THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL, I WOULD LIKE MY VIN NUMBER TO BE INCLUDED IN THE LIST OF THOSE THAT CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE RECALL. I HAVE HAD MANY MECHANICS LOOK AT THE CAR BUT NONE OF THEM KNOW HOW TO FIX IT.

I HAVE OWNED A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA FOR THE LAST 6 YEARS THAT HAS 126,000 MILES ON IT. DURING A RECENT INSPECTION THE MECHANIC FOUND SEVERE RUSTING AND A SIGNIFICANT HOLE IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR PAN; YOU COULD SEE THE INTERIOR CARPET FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR. IT LOOKS LIKE THE FLOOR HAS BEEN ERODING FOR QUITE SOME TIME. AFTER SEARCHING FOR THIS ISSUE ONLINE, I LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN ALTIMAS FROM 2002 TO 2006 RELATING TO A FAULTY DESIGN IN A DRAIN (THOSE WERE A NISSAN REPS OWN WORDS). I'M FRUSTRATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR COMMUNICATIONS REGARDING THIS KNOWN ISSUE. I'D HOPE THAT NISSAN CAN BE COMPELLED TO BE TRANSPARENT AND FORTHCOMING WITH KNOWN ISSUES WHICH MAY BE A RISK TO CUSTOMERS' SAFETY.

THE FLOORBOARDS HAVE RUSTED RIGHT THROUGH TO THE OUTSIDE. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH NORMAL WEAR. WE HAVE JUST BEEN ALERTED TO THIS BY THE MECHANIC AND IT IS SO ADVANCED HE ADVISES WE DON'T USE THE CAR! REPAIRING IT IS PROBABLY MORE THAN THE CAR IS WORTH!

EXCESSIVE RUSTING OF THE FLOORBOARDS. A GAPING HOLE IS IN THE FLOOR GOING THROUGH TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. THIS IS FRUSTRATING BECAUSE THIS CAR HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AT HOME AND AT WORK.

IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH OLDER ALTIMAS. APPARENTLY THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FORMS A RUST PROBLEM WHICH CAN CAUSE ONE TO FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THE CAR. THE IMAGE I ATTACHED SHOWS THE FLOORBOARD NOT ONLY RUSTING BUT COMING OFF, AND I CAN PUSH ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CARPET FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY CAR. NISSAN KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2008 AND HAS NOT OFFERED ANY OBVIOUS STATEMENTS NOR RECALLS. THIS IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AND IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR (FOR BOTH SIDE FLOORBOARD REPLACEMENT, IT CAN COST 3000)

TRANSMISSION JERKS

BETWEEN 3,000 MILE INTERVAL OIL CHANGES, THERE IS SIGNIFICANTLY AMOUNT OF OIL CONSUMPTION. THERE IS NO WHITE OR BLUE SMOKE THAT IS VISIBLE FROM THE MUFFLER, NO OIL LEAKS ARE VISIBLE AND NO BURNING ODOR. WHEN CHECKING OIL FLUID BETWEEN 3,000 MILE INTERVALS, HAVE NOTICED THE OIL FALLING BELOW MINIMUM LINE ON DIPSTICK. ON THAT SAME NOTE, THE DRIVE WAY DOES NOT SHOW ANY SIGNS OF OIL LEAK COMING FROM THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED INSPECTION DUE TO SEVERE FRAME CORROSION. THE INDEPENDENT TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FLOORBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,980.

FLOORBOARD RUSTING/ DRIVER SIDE FLOORBOARD COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT HOLE HOLE APPROXIMATE SIZE 24 INCH WIDTH X 36 INCH LENGTH

DRIVER AND PASSENGER FLOOR PANELS RUSTED OUT. SAFETY ISSUE. CAR WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION. RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM...WELL KNOWN TO NISSAN. NISSAN MANAGEMENT UNRESPONSIVE AND UNCOOPERATIVE.

TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 65-70 MPH, THE LEFT REAR TIRE(ECOPIA EP422 A/S P215/60R 16) RUPTURED ON THE INTERIOR SIDEWALL/SUSPENSION SIDE LEAVING A GAPPING HOLE 3X8 INCHES FROM THE TIRE RIM TOWARD THE TREADS. NO VISIBLE DAMAGE FROM SHARP OR FOREIGN OBJECT WAS VISIBLE WHERE TIRE RUPTURED. THE BRIDGESTONE TIRE HAD ONLY 9000 MILES, VERY GOOD TREADS(MORE THAN 4/32")ROTATED ON PRESCRIBED MILAGE INTERVALS FROM DATE OF PURCHASE(4/29/2014) AND JUST BEFORE THIS EXTENDED ROAD TRIP, ALONG WITH TIRE PRESSURE CHECKED WITH 29 PSI~NITROGEN. TIN#OBX8E2813 DATE OF TIRE FAILURE~7/11/2016. FORTUNATELY, ABLE TO CONTROL VEHICLE COMING TO A SAFE STOP ON THE FREEWAY SHOULDER. TIRE NO LONGER PRODUCED BY BRIDGESTONE, THEREFORE TWO NEW MATCHING TIRES WERE PURCHASED TO REPLACE THE OPPOSITE, GOOD TIRE AND THE FAILED TIRE.

JUST LIKE WITH OTHER NISSAN RECALLS. MY CAN SHAFT POSITION SENSOR IS BAD AND IS CAUSING MY CAR TO DIE/QUIT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHILE DRIVING IT

FLOOR BOARD HAS RUSTED OUT ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE.

AT AROUND 65K MY TRANSMISSION STARTED TO FAIL EVEN THOUGH I HAD REPLACED THE FLUID TWICE BY THAT MILEAGE AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER I HAD AND EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THE DEALER SAID IS WAS A BROKEN MOTOR MOUNT BUT IT WAS NOT TO TOO SOON AFTER THAT MY TRANSMISSION STARTED TO BANG ALOT AND KEEP READING ONLINE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR TRANSMISSION AND NOW AROUND 90K THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY FAILED.

I LOOKED UNDER MY CAR THIS EVENING AND FOUND A LARGE RUSTED OUT HOLE IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOORBOARD. THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD ALSO SEEMS TO BE RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

"TAKING RECALL"I GOT A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA WHEN I LOOK UNDER THE COVER I SAW THE CONNECTORS THAT GOES TO SPARK PLUG MELTED BY OVER HEAT (SMALL FIRE)MY ENGINE CONTROL MODULE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IT READ SENSOR ONE TIME CRANKSHAFT NEXT TIME UP AND DOWN STREAM SENSOR LOT OF DIFFERENT READINGS WHICH IS NOT SAFE FOR ROAD WHICH MAY LEAD TO ACCIDENT.

PURCHASED THIS CAR USED FROM A DEALERSHIP 3 WEEKS AGO. WITHIN 1 WEEK THE CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING. STARTED IT BACK UP WITH NO PROBLEMS. TOOK CAR ON A 750 MI. ROAD TRIP AND WHILE DRIVING 75MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL THE CAR BUCKED. AFTER REACHING OUR DESTINATION AND TURNING THE CAR OFF WE HAD TROUBLE RESTARTING IT. WHEN IT FINALLY STARTED THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND CODES CAME UP FOR THE CAM AND CRANK SHAFT SENSORS. REPLACED THESE SENSORS AND CLEARED CODES. DROVE CAR AWAY AND WITHIN 5MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND AGAIN EXCESSIVE CRANKING WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR. BROUGHT IT BACK TO MECHANIC AND THE BRAND NEW CAM SENSOR THAT WAS REPLACED LESS THAN 24HRS BEFORE TESTED OUT BAD. REPLACED SENSOR AGAIN AND CLEARED CODE AND CODE CAME UP FOR HIGH SPEED INPUT SENSOR ALONG WITH THE SAME CODES FOR CAM SHAFT AND CRANK SHAFT SENSORS. AGAIN TROUBLE STARTING VEHICLE. DROVE CAR 750MI. BACK HOME WITHOUT TURNING THE CAR OFF FOR FEAR OF NOT BEING ABLE TO START AGAIN. DEALING WITH A NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO TRY AND GET THIS FIXED. THIS ISSUE WAS UNDER RECALL BEFORE. THE BUCKING OF THE CAR WHILE DRIVING AT 75MPH WAS TERRIFYING AND SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS PREMATURE CORROSION ON THE FLOORBOARDS ACROSS THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. DUE TO THE CORROSION, HOLES COULD BE SEEN THROUGH THE FLOORBOARDS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER AND MECHANIC CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED USING A PATCH KIT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000. UPDATED 10/07/16*LJ *TR

MY CAR WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED FOR A CAMPAIGN POSTED ON YOUR WEBSITE, BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. I SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM RE WORKED AND FIXED. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE CAR STALLS OUT WITHOUT WARNING, CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE IDLE.

THE FLOORBOARDS ARE RUSTING. PIECES HAVE BEEN FALLING FROM BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER'S SIDE.

CAR WILL SLOW CRANK RANDOMLY, IT DOES IT COMPLETELY INTERMITTENT, EVEN WHEN ITS COLD OR HOT, THE FUEL PUMP WORKS PERFECTLY, THE STARTER IS NEW, IT HAS NEW CRANK AND CAM SENSORS, THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR ARE IN WORKING FINE, THE SPARK PLUGS AND IGNITION COILS ARE BRAND NEW, IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT IT, IT HAD 148,000 MILES, SOMETIMES I HAD TO PUSH THE KEY TWICE OR MORE, THE ENGINE WILL CRANK WITH THE STARTER BUT WILL SIMPLY NOT TURN ON, AFTER I DO IT TWICE OR MORE THEN IT STARTS, I HAVE TRIED EVERY TRICK IN THE BOOK TO SEE IF IT STOPS HAPPENING RANDOMLY, I JUST WANT THIS CAR TO WORK FINE OR JUST NOT WORK AT ALL, I DONT LIKE THIS GAME. 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 VEHICLE HAS GIVEN ME A LOT OF PROBLEMS FROM STEERING TO BRAKES TOOK THE BOOTS TRANSMISSION. IT WAS HARD SHIFTING GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION ALL THE SUDDEN IT POPPED AND THE TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT

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

FLOOR PANS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. I CAN PUSH MY HAND TROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR AND MOVE THE CARPET INSIDE. I KNOW THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. JUST ADDING MY CAR TO THE LIST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V527000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 201,013.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR THE GEAR GETS STUCK AND YOU HAVE TO ALLOW IT TIME TO CATCH UP WITH THE ACCELERATOR SO YOU CAN TAKE OFF IF YOUR SITTING AT A LIGHT OR TRYING TO ACCELERATE SPEED WHEN DRIVING. IT ALSO JERKS AT TIMES WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

NISSAN ALTIMA 2006 REPEATEDLY FAILS TO START. ONCE WE GOT IT STARTED WE WOULD DRIVE A SHORT DISTANCE AND THEN IT WOULD DIE OUT. VERY SCARY AS WE WERE ON A TRAFFIC ROADWAY. WE PROCEEDED TO A SERVICE CENTER TO GET A NEW BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR BUT THAT ONLY STARTED THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW MOMENTS THEN IT DIED OUT AGAIN. REPAIR TECHNICIAN INFORMED US IT WAS THE NISSAN COMPUTER BOX INDICATING IT WAS READING EVERYTHING "BACKWARDS" AND THUS THE CAR COULD NOT DETERMINE HOW TO START THE CAR ANYMORE. THE SERVICE CENTER GOT IN TOUCH WITH A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND ORDERED A NEW COMPUTER BOX. THE NEW COMPUTER DID NOT WORK EITHER! WE ARE STUCK WITH AN INOPERABLE VEHICLE. HELP!

MY FLOOR BOARDS ARE RUSTING OUT.

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WE HAD THE VEHICLE TESTED TO SEE WHY? I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CRANK SENSOR? THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. WE HAD THE SENSOR REPLACED 09/22/2015 DUE TO ENGINE SHUTTING OFF UNEXPECTEDLY AND WE LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES.!

MY CAR WOULD STALL AND SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENED ONE DRIVING ABOUT 20MPH AND THEN A FEW TIMES IN TRAFFIC. THEN WOULD NOT CRANK TO START. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD THE CODES READ AND IT WAS PO725 SPEED SENSOR PO335 CAMSHAFT SENSOR. I HAD BOTH PARTS REPLACED 2 TIMES. CAR STILL HAS A HARD START AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. THERE IS A RECALL FROM NISSAN FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA RECALL ID#90579. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID MY VIN IS NOT AFFECTED??

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE CHANGING THE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARDS WERE SEVERELY CORRODED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CORROSION WAS ALSO APPARENT UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED OR INSPECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

FLOORBOARD IS RUSTED THROUGH. NOTICED SOFT SPOT IN FLOOR ON DRIVERS SIDE OF VEHICLE. LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND SAW A RUSTED HOLE APPROXIMATELY 8" X 16" IN SIZE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOORBOARD, AND SIGNS OF RUST STARTING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD TOO. I DO NOT EXPECT THIS OF A NINE YEAR OLD VEHICLE, AND SUSPECT THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR A WHILE. I CONTACTED NISSAN SUPPORT, I WAS ADVISED TO TAKE IT TO A NISSAN DEALER AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. THE DEALER ESTIMATED THE COST OF REPAIR TO BE AROUND $2150. I RECEIVED A FOLLOW UP CALL FROM NISSAN AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIR.

PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR RUSTED AWAY - ABOUT 16" X 8" DAMAGED AREA. MUST HAVE STARTED LONG AGO, BUT I ONLY CAUGHT IT RECENTLY AND TODAY I BEGAN TO TRY TO REPAIR IT, BUT THE DAMAGE IS MUCH WORSE THAN WHAT I COULD INITIALLY SEE. THIS IS A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW WITH ALTIMAS IN THIS AGE RANGE, BUT NISSAN IS IGNORING.

ABNORMAL ENGINE NOISE HAS BEEN APPARENT SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2011. I ESPECIALLY NOTICE IT AT START UP AND IT HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY HARDER TO START ON FIRST TRY. INDEPENDENT SERVICE SHOP CONFIRMED THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER NEEDS REPLACED.

DEAR SIR/MADAM, I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT AND NOTIFY THE PROBLEM THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED RECENTLY WITH MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5L ENGINE. I WAS WAITING ON THE SIGNAL TO TURN LEFT WHEN MY CAR FIRST SHUT OFF ON ME WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR SIGNS. I TURNED OFF MY IGNITION AND TRIED TO START MY CAR, IT STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. NEXT MORNING, I LEFT MY HOME FOR GROCERY AND I WAS DRIVING ON THE SIDE STREET AND MY CAR SHUT OFF ON ME AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME MY CAR WAS MOVING ON A TWO WAY STREET AND LUCKILY NO CAR WAS BEHIND ME. ALSO, ALL LIGHTS TURNED ON THIS TIME IN MY DASHBOARD AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT STAYED ON. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION SWITCH AND TURNED IT BACK ON, I GOT PANICED BUT THIS TIME MY CAR STARTED AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE GROCERY STORE TO DO MY GROCERIES AND WHEN I WAS READY TO LEAVE AFTER AN HOUR FROM THE STORE, MY CAR DID NOT WANT TO START. NOW, I BECAME MORE CONCERNED AND FINALLY WHEN MY CAR STARTED, I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO NEAREST OREILLY'S ON MY WAY HOME TO GET IT CHECKED. THEY TESTED MY BATTERY, ALTERNATOR AND STARTER AND TOLD ME THAT ALL OF THEM WERE WORKING FINE BUT THE COMPUTER IS READING THE CODE P0340 WHICH REPRESENTS THE CAMSHAFT CENSOR IN THE VEHICLE. AFTER GETTING MY VEHICLE TESTED AND RECEIVING THE RESULTS, ON MY WAY HOME IT TUNED OFF ON ME TWICE AGAIN AT THE SIGNALS. AFTER DOING MY RESEARCH I NOTICED THAT NISSAN HAD A RECALL FOR POTENTIAL DEFECTIVE CAMSHAFT CENSORS ON 653,910 UNITS UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMB

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

THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND THE CARPET IS THE ONLY THING SEPARATING THE PASSENGER'S FEET FROM THE GROUND. THE HOLE IS 16 INCHES IN LENGTH. I SAW SOME SORT OF PLASTIC HANGING FROM THE AREA AND WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR, THE FLOORBOARD IS COMPLETELY RUSTED. WHEN I EXAMINED THE AREA WITH MY HAND, I FELT THE CARPET AND AM ABLE TO PUSH IT UP INTO THE FLOOR OF THE CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND DEFECT IN THE CAR. THIS HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN RUSTING FOR SOME TIME NOW AND I DID NOT KNOW MY DAUGHTER WAS SITTING OVER A GAPING WHOLE IN THE FLOOR AND IN DANGER FROM HER FEET FALLING THROUGH THE FLOOR OR SOMETHING POTENTIALLY PIERCING THROUGH AND INJURING HER.

WENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE/TIRE ROTATION AND MECHANIC SAID THAT BOTH DRIVER AND PASENGER SIDE FLOORBOARDS WERE ALMOST RUSTED THROUGH. CONTACTED NISSAN DEALER I PURCHASED CAR FROM, THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL BUT THAT NISSAN HAS ISSUED A "SERVICE BULLETIN" ON HOW TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. COST OF REPLACEMENT PARTS AND LABOR WAS IN EXCESS OF $3,000. DO NOT FEEL THAT A TEN YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD BE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. CAR HAS 170K MILES BUT OTHERWISE IS IN FLAWLESS CONDITION.

BOTH AIR BAG SENSOR KEEPS BLINKING.

CONSUMING OR BURNING A LOT OF OIL.HAD TO ADD ABOUT A QUART OF OIL EVERY 300 MILES. IT TAKES LONGER TO SHIFT AND DOES NOT HAVE POWER GOING UPHILL. HARD 1-2 SHIFT.

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

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!

A HOLE HAS RUSTED THROUGH THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD. JUST NOTICED IT TODAY 4/18/16.

MY CAR IS LOSING OIL FROM SOMEWHER NO LEAKING BUT TO DRIVE FROM COLUMBIA SC TO ATLANTA GA THE CAR WILL BE OUT OF OIL I JUST BROUGHT THE CAR ITS HAS 112000 MILES ON IT. THERE IS NO OIL LEAKING OR NOTHING SO WHERE IS THE OIL GOING
