The rear suspension has always been an issue. While driving the wheel will scrape against the wheel well. You can't fit more the two people in the back seat due to this issue. The two front exterior headlights don't provide adequate lighting to even see the car in front of you. Its extremely low/dense lighting even after changing out the bulbs. The electrical ignition switch to start the car has always been a problem. I have to turn the key, wait, turn it again, wait for the dashboard lights to come on, then finally the car will start. The power train gear control is another waiting game. To put the car in drive, I first have to slowly shift though each gear before finally putting into drive. Once I do put it into drive the car will suddenly jolt forward before I'm able to start driving the car. I recently had the transmission replaced cause it just stopped while in motion and struggled to start up again. It finally did, but it couldn't drive over 1st gear. I had to tow the car home. Also, few yrs back I had the head gasket replaced cause the car would shut off while I was driving. It would also not start up again if I had just turned off the engine. It needed time to cool off before restarting for me. And as of this moment, the car is in the shop again. This time it needs a new engine. While it's idling, it's making a very loud clunking sound. It's just never ending with this car. I know there were many recalls on the engine, exterior lighting and rear suspension but I never got the notices.

Excessive oil consumption. My car starts to get difficult to drive about every 200-300 miles. Start to hear a clunk, when I add oil it is ok but only gets 16-18 miles a gallon vs the 28-30 it should get. Engine is burning through 2 quarts of oil every week. This make model and year already has a recall on it but the web site is saying that my VIN number has no open recalls. This car is the same as the cars covered by the recall. It can't be a coincidence that my vehicle and hundreds of others, from the same year are doing the same thing but. Nissan is only covering certain ones. Nissan needs to fix this problem for all 2006 Altima's with excessive oil consumption. It is costing $12 a week fir oil and my gas mileage is down by 1/3.

My 2006 Altima started making a tick sound around 80,000 miles and around 115,000 miles in 2014 my engine failed. While at a red light my engine sounded like I had rocks in a tin can. My engine was still under federal warranty but Nissan wouldnt help me because they said I should have brought the car in but I was out of dealer warranty so I didnt know. I asked them about the excessive oil consumption recall and they said my car was not part of it but after months of research I concluded that it was due to my efn being listed under the recall information report provided by Nissan, they still didn't acknowledge my issue. I ended up replacing the engine myself in 2014 for a total of $3600 and $1000 for labor and have been driving it since. I called Nissan, I submitted my complaint by mail and I told them my engine was under warranty until 150,000 miles federally (I had 120,000 at the time) but they just overlooked my complaint and never did anything about it.
