| My brakes have a high pitched screech only when in reverse. this has been happening for over a year. i had it in to the glendale nissan dealer 3 times and they said there was nothing they could do. they said it was a defect in the type of brake it is. am i suppose to live with it for the life of the car. this sound is very abnormal. when i am backing up people just look at the car as to say, get your brakes fixed. i have never heard of a car doing this let alone having to deal with this terrible screeching noise. *tr | |||

| 2006 2.5 altima special edition has squeaking brakes 2 months after purchased. car had 4,000 miles and brakes are squeaking. nissan has not repaired or replaced the high oil consumption engine recall since receiving recall notification in june 2006. nissan has even taken the recall off the website however has acknowledged it because there are cars on the lot with replaced engines. there is a problem with the oil consumption and it needs to be repaired immediately. engine oil is very essential to the car and should not be viewed as a minor recall. i was told the piston rings are defected and should have the engine replaced. have yet to have nissan honor this request. *nm | |||

| I purchased a brand new 2006 nissan altima in march 2006. it's now august 2006, and i am experiencing an oil leak. i took the car to the dealership and the technician told me that it was leaking at the seal. now my vehicle identification number fell in the range of the 2006 nissan altima recall. the technician stated that nissan corporate told him just to replace the seal. i was not satisfied with that response. i was never offered a new motor. i believe that because i am a woman they are playing me for dumb. i have also been dealing with squealing brakes that i have reported to the technician which he keeps dismissing as the hot weather. *jb | |||
