| 2006 altima-sluggish performance-had to put 2 quarts of oil in car today-just had oil change two weeks ago. while drinving up a slope car starts to jerks hard-pulled off road-cut the car off-took several tries before car would start. it has been doing this for the past two days... | |||

| 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. | |||
