2006 Nissan Altima upset about recall notice** the consumer is upset that a vehicle that she has owned for no more than 2 months, is prone to catching on fire.

- San Bruno, CA, USA

I purchased a 2006 Altima Nissan 2.5 special edition in Feb 2006. Within a 6 months time frame I have had 2 engine replacements. This still hasn't corrected the oil consumption problem nor the clicking sound. I have also been informed that the clicking and grinding sound may be attributed to bad tires. So I took it to another company that deals in tires and was informed my tires were in great condition. Then on Jan 22 I was told I needed a new steering wheel to help with the sound and vibrations. My Nissan sounds and rides like a truck. Nissan needs to just live up to the fact that some of the 2006 models were just not built correctly and compensate the consumers that are feeling the affects of buying a lemon.. why would they put their reputation in jeopardy. Do they not realize this could turn into a class action law suit. Several of my friends have had their cars bought back under the lemon law but I'm getting the run around from one of the Nissan reps. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that after replacing 2 engines in a 6 month period to know my car is a lemon.. Nissan has lost my respect due to the non caring nature they have represented.

I purchased a brand new 2006 Altima June 2006, I loved my car from the day it was purchased, until recently when my brakes started to make that annoying squeaking noise I thought too myself, wow how can this be, my car is only five months old. I thought to myself it must be the way I am stepping on the brake, but to my surprise the next afternoon I received in the mail recall information, I read it over and was disgusted, I just purchased the vehicle and I am being told my engine may need to be replaced and high oil consumption will occur and possibly a fire!! I was very upset I was to contact the dealer but this all occurred during the thanksgiving holiday, so I drove my sister Honda SUV for the holiday, my car sat without being driven for about four days. I was absolutely sick when my father asked to use my car when he attempted to start my car it would not start he tried several times before it finally started and when it did he placed the car in drive the car took off at a fast speed with him barely touching the gas pedal, an accident could have occured, all the lights lit up and smoke began to seep out of the back of vehicle. I immedialey called my service dapartment and they said its normal, I dont think so, maybe if my car was a 1996 instead of a 2006 he told me to bring it in and he will inspect everything including, the recalled parts. I am truly upset and disgusted with Nissan they sold me a piece of crap, they knew about the recall and did not inform me when I purchased the vehicle, who wants a new vehicle and have something replaced within a few months of purchasing a new car not me!! I could have purchased a used car. There is no repair that can be done to satisfy me I would like a replacement vehicle with no prior incidents or my money back.

- Queen Creek, AZ, USA

Purchased new 2006 Altima in April 2006. Car has about 3500 miles on it now. Checked oil level again the other day and it was barely on dip stick and what was there was black. Called Nissan, they were no help. They said to bring car in every 700 miles. That is totally unacceptable answer to a new car owner. The dealer was of no help either. I do not think new car owners should be stuck with lemons. I would really like to return car. Nissan has the opportunity right now of satisfying many unhappy customers or ruining their image forever in the mind of thousands. They need to help us.
