#30 of 79 Tapping Noise by carnut_rob May 01, 2002 (3:17 pm)
Hey ling1403, I have only had my 2.5 S since Saturday and I haven't noticed any tapping noise whatsoever. It could be related to the type of gas that you put in the car.   -Rob
#31 of 79 Just bought an Altima by ctalerico Aug 27, 2002 (12:14 pm)
I just traded in my 2000 Olds Alero for a 2002 Altima S. I was heartbroken that I had to get rid of my Alero, but due to it's problems (tierod, struts, rotors replaced before 25,000 miles) I thought I should get rid of it. It was a choice between the Altima and a Passat. The Passat's are nice in my opinion but the inside looks cheap. The Altima has a classier look and I am praying it is more reliable that my Alero. I wanted the convenience package with a sunroof and they only had gold in those options at the dealer so I took the gold. I would have preferred the seafoam color but it doesn't come in a lighter color interior (my dog's fur is blonde!). I also would have loved the V6 but I didn't want to pay an extra 4-5K for it. I got the car for $21K.
#32 of 79 Vibration problem on Altima 02' 2.5S by tbasila1 Aug 29, 2002 (11:19 am)
I have had my gold Altima for 2 months. The vibration at 60-75 mph are unbearable. I am taking it back to the dealer next week. Has anyone else had this problem? My first trip to the dealer due to this problem, I noticed I was not alone (3 other cars in due to vibrations).   I hope it can be fixed quick (its a four year lease).

What was the reponse from the dealer? Just in case mine does the same thing. Thanks!
#34 of 79 vibration by 1offroader Sep 10, 2002 (6:56 pm)
I'm not sure what you mean by "vibration", but ours had a steering wheel shimmy between 45-55 mph. It turned out that the front wheels needed to be re-balanced. Voila, problem solved. There are other similar posts with the same cure.
#35 of 79 2000 Altima SE by artstein Sep 25, 2002 (5:00 am)
Hello. I bought my '00 Altima SE back in Feb. 2000. I have never had any problems with the car. I just turned 72K miles. I drive 54 miles one way to the office daily. The car has been very reliable but I am ready to get rid of it for a used Saab 9-3. Does anyone think I can get $8,000 on a trade with the high mileage?
#36 of 79 LOVING IT!!!!!!!! by dibiase Sep 28, 2002 (12:01 pm)
I WAS THE 3RD PERSON TO PURCHASE THE 2002 ALTIMA IN ORLANDO FLORIDA. NOW MY ALTIMA HAS 18,255 MILES AND STILL GOING STRONG. I DID NOTICE 1 OR 2 OF THE PROBLEMS OTHER OWNERS MENTIONED, SUCH AS THAT RATTLING NOISE IN THE ROOF, WHICH WAS FIXED BY THE DEALER. IM LOVING THIS CAR, AND PLAN ON KEEPING THIS BABY FOR A LONG TIME.
#37 of 79 Tapping sound by piecekeeper Oct 26, 2002 (4:59 pm)
Hi Ling, I have a 03 2.5S Alta. I hear what I consider to be a knocking sound. I had a 02 Sentra, 1.8, didn't have that sound. I think its the 2.5 engine or a lack of sound insulation. I notice the knock at stop signs, when the car isn't powered up.
#38 of 79 Bad A.C.? by stevebun Oct 31, 2002 (5:40 pm)
Got a 03 altima 3.5 SE. Love the car, but the automatic ac has went out 2 times in the 3 weeks that I have had this car. Was told that it had a bad hose the first time. My wife is taking it back again tommorow. This is the first foreign make of car I have ever owned and I thought that the quality of these cars was superior. I`m wondering now. For a car that stickered at 27,900 I thought I would get more. I hope that I can get it straitened out.
#39 of 79 03 2.5s altima with knocking noise by tmnjalt Nov 09, 2002 (8:12 pm)
Ling and Piecekeeper- I bought my 2.5s about a month ago and i also have that annoying knocking/vibration/pulsation sound when sitting at idle with radio off and windows up, can't hear it when the windows are down or from outside the car. I brought it into the dealer and they said it was normal, they even had me drive another new 2.5s (had 75 miles on odo) and it had the same exact sound. I plan on having them check it again at my first oil change. At this point i have 2000 miles on the car and no other problems worth mentioning, but i'd sure like to know where that noise comes from. i'll pass on any new info i get.
