| I purchased my nissan altima 2013 s car on 17 october 2012 with 12 miles. approximately two days later after buying this vehicle, i began hearing a constant whining noise coming from the engine compartment at a very low speed, a drumming slapping noise when i abruptly brake, a rather disturbing metal clonking sound that seems to generate from the fuel tank and finally intermittently clicking sound from the engine compartment at a high rate of speed. these sounds ar extremely nerve wrecking for a brand new car. i brought my car to three different nissan dealerships for inspection at least seven times only to be told that these concerning sounds are normal conditions for this model. the car has also hesitated multiple times on start up. filed a complaint that led to nowhere because nissan north america, inc insists that these are | |||

| I purchased a 2013 nissan altima 2.5 s in july of 2012 with 349 miles on it. i have had numerous problems and have returned the vehicle on several occasions for repair and have yet to find a solution to the problem. in the mean time they are only getting worse. the first problem occurred 2 weeks after i purchased it. i got in my car and applied the brake and pushed the button to start the car and the car hesitated, it was almost like the starter had hung up. i wasn't too worried at first and figure it was just a one time fluke, but it wasn't. nearly five days later it occurred again and atleast one or twice a week there after. after 4 weeks and it having done it about 4 times by then i made and appointment to have it service and a few days later i noticed 2 new noise problems. i was driving with window down one day and heard a loud chiming or jingling noise coming from what sounded like the front driver tire.it pretty much sounded to be a loose nut or screw jingling around somewhere. then a few days after that's when the brakes started squealing. and it was terrible and very loud, like nails on chalkboard and very embarrassing. so when i bring it to be serviced they tell me that the issue i had when started could not be duplicated and that the brakes where cleaned and the rotors where shaved down and also that they put no squeal on. and for the issue with the jingling noise was that a screw was loose and rattling around on the engine cover. but when i drove the next day the brakes started squealing again so once more 2 weeks later i return it again.and they tell me they have to shave the rear rotors this time. when i leave this time the squealing does not return for 2 weeks. so once more i return it this time they tell me that dirt is caked under my brake pads and all i can do is pretty much pressure wash them every day. that's not quality! *tr | |||

| Purchased a nissan 2013 in july of 2012 in 8/2012 the car had to have a total brake job on the front and rear brakes at 1300 miles. nissan has yet to tell me why the car was manufactured with bad brakes and rotors and if there is an underlying issue that created the issue at 1300miles. faulty powersteering pump causes the car to growl and make a winding noise. you can hear the fuel in the tank sloshing around in the tank of the car. this car is horrible. *tr | |||

| I have had this car for 5 months and bought it brand new and it has been nothing but problems that nissan cannot resolve. on top of all of the recalls, brake and starting issues it now starting to fall apart. recently i have been noticing a noise coming from the windshield almost every time i drive and especially when i am driving 60-75mph on the interstate. the noise i have been hearing sounds like small rock hit the windshield and at other times i hear a cracking noise. so here recently i was driving on the interstate at 75mph and hear something flapping on the windshield and notice that it is the rubber seal that goes around the windshield. so i pull off at the next exit and reattach the seal. the car is only 5 months old and nothing should be coming off like that. also my car has black interior and it tends i be much hotter on inside especially in direct sunlight. one day i left my car parked in the direct sunlight and got it and the interior was pretty warm and i was going to plug my phone in and the a/c outlet inside the cubby under the radio and as soon as i tried to lift the outlet cover it cracked and broke off. i traded in my 2010 altima for the 2013 because i loved my previous altima and i had 60k on it and never had a problem with it. i thought i was buying quality and reliability when i purchased a nissan, but that has not been the case. i have had the car only five months and having mechanical, exterior and interior issues. this will be the last nissan i own, i will be getting a camry next time i purchase a car. *tr | |||
