2006 NISSAN ALTIMA CUSTOMER RECEIVED RECALL LETTER AND HAS BEEN UNABLE TO GET CAR FIX AND CAN'T LET THE CAR SIT AND PAY CAR NOTE AND INSURANCE**CC THE CONSUMER STATED A NEW ENGINE WAS INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE DUE TO A RECALL.

THE CONSUMER RETURNED THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND UPON INSPECTION THEY STATED THE WIRING HARNESS WAS UNPLUGGED. *JB

THE TRANSMISSION(STANDARD)WILL JUST DROP OUT OF 5TH GEAR INTO THE NEUTRAL POSITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST THREE WEEKS. THERE ARE 10,800 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. IT WAS PURCHASED NEW. 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA SL. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION HAS DISENGAGED I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING FREEWAY SPEEDS AND THE CRUISE CONTROL IS SET CAUSING A QUICK RISE IN THE RPMS-WHICH IS NOT GOOD FOR ANY ENGINE. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE STEERING PULLED TO THE RIGHT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER ON FIVE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. ON EACH OCCASION THE DEALER PERFORMED AN ALIGNMENT, ADJUSTED THE STEERING, AND ROTATED THE TIRES. MORE AIR WAS PLACED IN THE TIRES ALSO. AFTER ALL THE REMEDIES PERFORMED IT STILL HAD THE SAME FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED CASE # 5591789. THE DEALER COULD NOT SEEM TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE.

RECOMMENDED FIX FOR THE 2006 NISSAM ALTIMA POTENTIAL ENGINE FIRE IS TO UPDATE THE ELECTRONIC CONTOL MODULE WHICH WILL ENSURE THE ENGINE WILL GO INTO LIMP MODE IN THE EVENT THE OIL LEVLE DROPS TO AN UNACCEPTABLE LEVEL. IF THE CAR GOES IN LIMP MODE THE ENGINE RPMS WILL NOT EXCEED 1800 RPMS, THIS RESTRICTION WILL PREVENT THE CAR FROM TRAVELING MORE THAN 25 MPH. IF THE VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS ARE PUT INTO A DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHY IS IT ACCEPTABLE FOR A CAR MANUFACTURER TO PROPOSE AND INSTITURE A FIX TO A VEHICLE THAT COMPROMISES PERSONAL SAFETY, AND WHAT RECOURSE DOES THE CONSUMER HAVE RELATED TO THE PROPOSED CORRECTIVE ACTION?*AK

I BOUGHT MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2.4S SPECIAL EDITION PACKAGE IN DECEMBER 2006. I WAS GOING BACK FROM MY OFFICE TO HOME FOR LUNCH AND JUST NEAR MY OFFICE WHEN I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE OF THE "CORPORATE DRIVE" TO TAKE A RIGHT TURN ON TO "TENNYSON PKWY", THE CAR SUDDENLY WENT ON THE RIGHT CURB AND IT WAS REALLY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE CAR MOVED SO QUICKLY FROM THE RIGHT CURB TO LEFT CURB (CORPORATE DRIVE WAS A TWO LANE STREET DEAD END TO TENNYSON), I BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG WITH THE REAR SUSPENSION TO GO OUT OF CONTROL. THIS 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA CAR NEEDS TO BE CHECKED FOR SAFETY, IT LEAD TO LOS OF CONTROL. I HAVE REGISTERED THE COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN AS WELL FOR MY CAR THEY TOLD ME THE CAR IS NOT IN RECALL LIST AT "THAT" TIME FOR THE NHTSA# 06V-046. HOW MANY CARS THEY ARE WAITING TO CAUSE SIMILAR INCIDENTS BEFORE THEY ISSUE RECALL ? *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AT A STOP SALE EVENT DUE TO RECALL # 06V-223000. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MUST HAVE ALREADY BEEN REMEDIED IN ORDER TO BE FOR SALE ON THE LOT. THE VEHICLE CONSUMED LARGE QUANTITIES OF OIL FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE UNTIL PRESENT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION LETTER FROM NISSAN NORTH AMERICA ON DECEMBER 12, 2006, THAT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REMEDIED AT 33,000 MILES. THE OIL PRESSURE TEST ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL REMEDY ALLEGEDLY SHOWED NO NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. HARTE NISSAN OFFERED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 53000.*AK

AROUND 6 MONTHS AFTER THE LEASE OF MY VEHICLE I NOTICED A HOLE ON THE FLOOR, AND ANY TIME I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM NOTHING WAS EVER DONE. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS MY CAR. THEREFORE, MY PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR AND A HALF AND THE HOLE HAS GOTTEN BIGGER. I MAY ONE DAY DIE IN THAT CAR DUE TO THE HEEL OF MY SHOE GETTING STUCK IN THAT HOLE, BECAUSE I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GET MY FOOT OUT FROM IT IN TIME TO BRAKE, OR MY FOOT MAY GET CAUGHT IN THERE.*AK
