| The vehicle was purchased new in 2006. two weeks later the car would not crank and the engine had to be replaced. shortly after, i noticed that the heating system did not work in the vehicle. when i palced my foot on the brake, the heat blew out cold air. i knew there was someting wrong, therefore i called the dealership to report this problem and was told that that is the way new models are made. this problem was not fixed. in the winter when the cat is not moving (such as at a red light) cold air blows in the car, not heat. i have experienced rattling noises with my car. it can be heard when the car is driven as if something is loose. i took the car to the dealership in 2011 to have it checked. i got the car fixed by an independent mechanic and the noise continued. each year i have gotten my rotors and brake pads replaced in the front and rear. i do not think this is normal. i have had my car 5.5 years with 79k miles. problems have occured with the electrical part of the car. the lights have become deemed when i drove on 2 occassions, the passenger door will not lock, the seat does not adjust all the way down, and sometimes when i press the alarm button om my key, my windows have went down automatically. | |||

| I have also experienced problems with the steering wheel vibrating recently. i got my rear rotors and pads replaced at the manufactor and thought this would cure the problem, then was told that i needed to get my front rotors and brake pads done to prevent the vibration in the steering wheel. i just got my rotors and pads replaced in the car 9 months ago. i think there is someting seriously wrong with this car. i believe the transmission is about to play out. my car has been jerking when i drive. it appears to be pulling. i asked the manufactor about this and the nissan dealership reported no problems with the engine or transmission. i called nissan main office regarding the re-call and the rep just told me that there was only one recall on my car, when i saw 4 online regarding the make, model, and year of my car. how does anyone know which cars have a recall or problem unless they are reported? | |||

| I have a 2006 nissan altima, that is constantly 5-7 mph off. i am getting concerned because this is a hazard as i have been asked by the local city police for me to pick up my speed a little as i am restraining the flow of traffic by driving at or below what i believe is the speed limit. also, i am really concerned since the factory tells you to use a certain size of tire, with me using their recommendation, this will cause the wheels to spin faster than what i am actually really going, thus saying i am traveling farther (mileage) than what i truly am. this, i believe is effecting my gas mileage as my tires are having to spin faster than what is needed and thus causing me to use more fuel. please help me consider my options or do you know if there is a recall on the speed sensor, drive/powertrain, wheels, etc. someone who drives 10 mph on the interstate is a hazard, i believe. i am having all kinds of vehicles and semi-trucks pass me on the interstate and i feel the safety of my family is at risk in driving this vehicle. (my current mileage (supposedly is: 43500 miles) i may have traveled less than that. can you help me get this issue resolved? here is a cbs story on the issue: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/03/13/earlyshow/main2562144.shtml please help, my families safety could be at risk as well as other passengers who own or are on the road around these cars. thank you, chris perdue | |||
