Filled my altima up with gas today. It was on 1/4 tank and it took 12 gallons. This car has a 20 gallon tank. Is it possible that there would be 8 gallons from 1/4 tank to empty???? Also, When I filled up the trip computer said I could only go another 83 miles.

If it's an 06 it should still be under warranty, let the dealership deal with it.

Well, if s/he bought this car before Dec. 2005, the car is already over 3 years old.

#4957 of 4962 Electrical Issue at 21k Miles? Anyone else? by Everythingirl

Dec 13, 2008 (2:41 pm)

Hi, I'm in Tampa, Florida and have a 2007 Altima with 21,090 miles. It is garage kept and driven 4 to 5 times a week.
 
So far, the car has been great except for a few issues with the intelli key and the rear brakes getting recalled . Two days ago, when I went to drive the car, it would not start. Every time I pressed the start button, the car would make a very loud and constant clicking noise until I would press the start button to turn the car off. At first I thought it was the battery, but when I put it on acc mode, the lights, radio, and instrument cluster turned on just fine. So, I thought it could not be the battery- must be the starter????
 
I called the dealer and they recommended getting it jumped. They thought maybe it had a weak/defective battery. Nissan roadside assistance jumped the car for $63.44 and the car turned on. I drove it to Ferman Nissan and left it overnight. They ran some diagnostic test and it came out fine- the battery was fine, so was the starter and alternator. The service guy told me it was probably just a fluke and to bring it in if it happens again.
 
I did not leave any lights on or anything like that. It is garage kept, so I don't think the recent cold weather (40s) could have zapped the battery.
 
I had a geo prizm in the late 90s with electrical issues that started at 20K miles, so I am wondering if the same thing will happen with the altima....
 
Has anyone else had an issue like this? Just hoping it is not a

If you read back through the history of the posts, it sounds like electrical/start system problems are common on the current Altima. My 03 Mazda 6 has worn out 2 batteries while I've owned it and the second battery was still under warranty. I'd rather have an electrical issue that makes sense like "battery dead" than a dealer telling me there isn't a problem when the rest of the world says there is.

when Im driving the car in the freeway, it runs great! When you are getting out of the freeway and slowing down the car dies! If I put the care in nueltral, it doesn't die when I am in a stop. I have to put the car in drive really, really fast and hit the gas, so that the car wont die. Also, there is something wrong with the electral part of the car.

#4960 of 4962 3 Mo. Warranty Extension for 2011 Altima SL by spartanz4ever

Apr 04, 2011 (3:48 pm)

I am looking at leasing an Altima SL 4 cylinder. I am trying to weight the benefits of a 39 month lease vs. a 36 month lease. The 39 month lease I feel I will need to purchase extended coverage to help me sleep at night...as we all know...everything will fall apart the day after the warranty expires and I dont want to be on the hook for this repair just before returning the car. Does anyone know if a 3 month extension is offered? If so, what is a good price to expect...I assume this would be bumper to bumper...an extension of what you get with the standard 36 month lease.
