On 10/29/06 I purchase a Nissan Armada 2004 with 36322 miles and a Warranty of 100000 miles about 3 months ago I had to take the car to the dealer because it has not power and feel's like something was wrong with the fuel them diagnost that it was the catalic converter so they replace. Yesterday 10/2/09 i had a service engine light so I went to the dealer drop the car and after 7 hours they called to inform that the engine was bad and it is not cover under the warranty because the cause of it was the catalyc converter damage how do I suppose to know that and why at that time before they fixed the catalyc converter they didn't perform what ever test was need to determine that the engine was damage or not

I'm owner operator and strugling right now with 2 children and no even be able to buy medical insurance for them I dont have the money to fixe the engine but what is even worse is to pay monthly 525.00 for a car that is worthless without transportation I can not go to work and I can't get my children's from the school and if is something that is my responsabilitie I'll face it but is not

My car has not been starting. I have had it looked at but no one seems to know why. I have taken good care of my nissan altima. It is a 2003 2.5 S. I am having trouble affording to get it fixed. I went to a website and there are tons of complaints about this and no one has gotten answers. I called the recall dep and my car does not qualify.

spoke with someone to ask for help with my 2002 altima when the engine blew up and my car caught on fire. I have been a faithful owner and have taken my car to dealer for all service. when I asked for some help to replace my engine(after I had read online about the problem with 2002 engine losing oil) I was denied.

I will never buy another nissan product, I have had to replace my transmission, my engine, my right and left control arms and other repairs as well. [Those] people did nothing for me and I am also dissappointed that the dealer was of no assistance as well. Then I get a postcard in the mail telling me to go to website and put in my personal ID number on the introductory page and there is no such place to do this. I am greatly disappointed in the way the entire operation is run.

I have a 2005 Nissan Altima that has a crankshaft position senosor problem. I found on line a recall for this but only on certain 2005 Nissan Altimas...only certain plants andmine was not assembled in "that" plant. So it is not covered even though I have had the exact same problems. Shame on Nissan. Only taking responsibility for "some" and not all 2005 Nissan Altimas.

I have read online many htousands of people with this sensor problems. Shame on Nissan for not listening and fixing the problem. When you are traveling down the highway at 60 mph and your car "quits" this could cause an terrouble accident...or it just won't start until the sensor makes up it's mind to start.

I agree that auto dealers don't want to do recalls. I have a Nissan Altima. The door leading to my gas tank would no longer close. I took it to the dealer, who said in order to replace the door, it would cost 104 of which I refused to pay.

I then contacted the corporate office via e-mail and the phone. I stated that in my daily driving I've seen a number of Altima's with the same problem and suggested they send out a letter to all Altima owners because it was obvious to me that there was a defect in the door. I had even sent them about 20 license plate #'s of Altima's with the defective door.

I got no results until I contacted the Better Business Bureau. Nissan mailed me a voucher which paid for the replacement of the door. How many people are still driving around with the defective door or have come out of pocket to have the door repaird, I would say thousands.

I purchased my 2006 Nissan Altima in December of 2005 and as of the first week of August 2009 only have EXACTLY 23000 miles on it, the majority of which were added under 50 mph while commuting 8 minutes to work and back. While easing into my driveway one afternoon my car lost power and wouldn't restart. The following day I took it in to have the dealership reprogram the computer (per a recall issued for a faulty crankshaft position sensor) and was told if it gave me further issues I would have to pay out-of-pocket since my warranty was expired.

The following day the check engine light came on and has remained on, and I have lost power while driving at speeds of 60 mph and above. The internet seems to be saturated with consumer complaints about the crankshaft position sensor failure that creates this POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE reaching back to the early 1990's. There may eventually be a critical moment in a traffic situation where a driver needs power steering and braking ability and if it's not there it could prove disastrous. This is an OBVIOUS engineering flaw and needs to be addressed by Nissan.

They have recalled all prior to 2005 Nissan Altima's for a faulty crank & cam sensor that causes the vehicle to stop running when the sensor over heats. This problem seems to happen on highway driving that is causing rear end collisions. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT DOES NOTHING TO FIX IT.

I bought a new Altima 2006, since the 60,000 miles the engine began to spend oil, the engine has extended warranty, I tooked to the dealer and Nissan has been telling me that is normal the consuption of oil, I change the oil every 6,000 miles because I put syntetic oil,but the consuption is one quarter or more, sometimes is almost emphty.

I currently own a 2005 Nissan Altima,6 cylinder which was purchased back in 2005, this vehicle currently has appx 150,000, within the last 6 months I have been told by different service techs I need to replace the catalytic converter for this vehicle to pass smog. I contacted Nissan because this is a known complaint, only to be told by Judy ths part is only convered up to 80,000 even though most consumers do not experience any issues with the converter until 120,000, the purchase price for this part in california starts at 900.00 but you can purchase this part in another state for much less, 138.00 to be exact thru Napa, which is illegal to ship to California, since Nissan has known this is an issue for a long time now, I believe they should assume responsibility for the defective parts they are installing on their Nissan vehicles

jennifer of lexington, SC August 12, 2009

i have a 07 altima and i had a warrenty to 36000 miles and all of a sudden my air went out i took it up there they said it was myt compressor. now my car is 2 years old how can my car need a compressor? they said it was a manufactor problem and its nuttin I could of done. so i understand i didnt purchase a extended warrenty but my car obviously wasnt correct when they sold it or even if it was my car shouldnt need that so soon. they are makin me pay for a brand new one cuz im out of warrenty.

well if its nuttin i did an a manufactor problem and it has never happen to altima before why am i responsible still? thats like having a recall i dont mind payin some but the whole 800 they are takling about is steep and i shouldnt be responsible for the repairs. even if i am out of warrenty it was a default.

and nobody will help me out in the stores so i would like to talk to the head person because i need air. i live in south carolina and i have a new born. i have 42,000 miles on my car. its only 2 years old. why is my car needin a new air unit? if its not my fault? if someone can please give me a call about this matter right away i would greatly appreciate it. thank you for your time
