Did you ever find out what was going on with your 95.
I have a 95 and had the same problem many years ago,if you have not found a cure for yours I'll try to explain.

Well your axle shaft is covered under warranty, so what's their problem? Actually I have an idea what their problem might be.
 
You need to talk to Nissan about this.
 
the axle boots are replaceable. They cost $35 each. For one side, labor is 2.3 hours. For both sides, 3.9 hours.
 
So at $100 an hour, seems like it would cost you about $275 to replace the boot---and I don't know your particular warranty as some automakers do NOT cover axle boots and some do.
 
But if they are too lazy to replace the boot and want to sell you an entire axle, then that should be under warranty---the only problem being that Nissan might kick back the warranty claim because they are replacing a perfectly good axle. That's probably why they are denying you warranty--because they know Nissan wont' spring for it.
 
So your task is to find out from Nissan itself whether the boot is covered or not--if not, then you'll probably have to pay to have that done.
 
i'd certainly carefully examine the other side boot for damage however.

My daughter had her 2008 Altima towed to the dealer; the dealer told me that he tried to reprogram her computer in her car but could not. So he said that her wiring harness and censors need to be replaced and that is would cost me $2000.00. My question is just happen over night because I was just with her in Florida and her car seemed fine. And two weeks later there telling me to cough up $2000.00. Help please

Tonya, have the catalytic converter checked. it may be plugged up and need replaceing. Remember that the exhaust manifold and converter are one piece, This is the cheapest I could find for you, they can go up to $1000.00. There are also some engine fire possibillities with this particular vehicle, and there was a 204,000 recall notices sent out. I hope your car is not one of them but keep this in mind and pleez be careful . I hope I have helped you tonite. God be with you. Eddie

Sounds a lil off, but it could be the catalytic converetr plugged up or the O2 sensors. You can have em checked and then youll know for sure Mmmkay.

#2700 of 2702 2000 Altima door locks by biancar

Apr 08, 2013 (10:06 pm)

A friend of mine just bought a 2000 Altima with power locks, but with a key, not remote entry.
 
She says there is no keyhole on the passenger side, so she has to unlock the driver's door, then unlock all the other doors by using the switch inside.
 
I used to have a 2000 Maxima, and while that was remote entry, I recall that if I used the key, I could turn it once to open the driver's door, and twice to open all the doors.
 
I told my friend this, she asked the guy who sold her the car, and he claims the 2000 Altima did not have that feature.
 
I think he's blowing smoke. Can anyone tell me one way or the other, is there a way to unlock all doors by using the key, not just the interior switch?

Having the same issue myself. Have a 2005 S Altima and was surprised the floorboards on both sides have nearly rusted through and the cost to fix was almost as much as what the car is worth! The dealership quoted me nearly $4,000 US and in the condition its in with 110K it's blue booked around $7,000. However, with this safety issue, I wouldn't want to sell it to anyone either.
 
Contacted Nissan USA about the issue and they'd "never heard of such a problem" when there's forums like this one to discuss it, it's hard to believe they've never heard of it.
 
This was my first and so far only brand new car. It's been through four jobs, now college, and back and forth to Chicago twice a week for 8 months. Not to mention the yearly vacations.
 
Hoping that Nissan owns up and admits there's a problem and decides to fix it since this is a safety issue. You might have a car but if you don't have a floorboard, you haven't got anything. That's all I need is to be driving down the road and fall out cause the floor gave way. Nice way to die......

#2702 of 2702 Key Fob 2008 Altima by rgt73

May 06, 2013 (12:49 pm)

I have changed the battery numerous times on both of key fobs and still get the key signal warning on the dashboard. Sometimes have to hold key right to key entry to get it to start. Any help on this. Nissan dealer wants 100.00 to diagnose.
