Altima 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Altima. The radio and cd player began working intermittently and then stopped working entirely. When the contact took the vehicle to the dealer, she was advised to go to another repair shop. She was informed that the fee to repair the radio and cd player would be free; however, she was charged $185.44. The contact took the vehicle to Nissan and they were equipped to perform the repair, but the dealer from where the vehicle was purchased, has yet to diagnose the failure. They could only inform her that the failure was internal. The powertrain and failure mileage were unknown. The current mileage was 47,135. Updated 3/5/08 the dealer stated rear window operates really slow, and pillar/roof keeps coming a loose. Updated 03/05/08

Altima 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
2005 Nissan Altima - the radio produces an acceptable sound but the face plate lacks sufficient luminosity & contrast for the information to be seen. Typically, it is impossible to read the display while driving as you must face directly in-line with the unit. Nissan was contacted 3/4/05 and acknowledged there were problems and that they were the result of the radio being located too high resulting in sunlight "washing" out the display. I stated the problem exists at night as well and a contrast/illumination adjustment would help. I asked Nissan to replace the radio with a different unit and they refused but indicated there would be a redesign in 2006.

Altima 4-cyl

I bought my 2005 Altima May 3, 2005, since the purchase I have had nothing but problems with the radio. If you put on the rear defroster the radio goes to 100% pure static. Also when I brought the car into gregoris Nissan svc dept they told me that they may have to replace my rear window! the other problems that I have been experiencing with this car is you can not read the display of the radio when it is sunny out. Also I have a rattle in the drivers side door when the radio is on. I was told it was my speaker and they would order me one. First of all it's not the speaker it is the door! I am done with Nissan and their products. If anyone can help me I would appreciate
