Did you have the alternator checked? It's not too uncommon for them to fail with the age and amount of miles on your car...

2007 Nissan Altima by deluxe123

I posted this earlier on the TSB menu.
Not sure if that was correct so I'll post it her also.
    My wife leased a 2007 nissan altima. We have not had it more than 9 months and it has been in the shop 8 times for the same reason. The car was dead this morning.
She sets the auto headlight feature on the car. The last time she took it in they said they replaced the, "light sensor unit", and the problem would stop. Wrong.
The car I believe has 7,000 miles on it (oil was changed 2 weeks ago). She wants to return it as a "LEMON".
She kept all documentation regarding this problem and the issue.
Does anyone out there have any knowledge of this problem with the 2007 Altima?
Also, does she have a case with the "LEMON" situation of the car.
 My wife explaind to me she had received last week a recall on a "on board emission computer problem". Guess it senses a problem with the catalytic converter and a light will go on (she has an Official Nissan recall letter). When talking to the dealership this morning they first had no knowledge of this recall and was also told that this may contribute to the problem she is experiencing.
They told her to tow the car to the dealership.
Need your guys help...

haven't heard of any of those problems. In fact, aside from occasional complaints about squeaks or vibrations I haven't heard of any problems with the 2007. sounds like you have yourself a . At any rate, electrical problems are a nightmare to track down and fix, even for trained techs. I'd try to get another car if i were you.

She sets the auto headlight feature on the car.
 
Is that the issue that you need to have it fixed 8 times?
 
If it's, I just don't think you can classify that as a lemon. I would just turn off myself to avoid the issue, just IMO.

shaking upon shifting to drive froma park by iamfrnk

Hi all, new to this forum. I have a 2005 altima 2.5S with 95,000 miles. Everytime i switch to D drive from a P parked position and drive, i hear a rattle from under the hood. It only happens from the Park to drive situation and never reoccurs as i drive.It does not occur if i go from P park to R reverse. I thought it was the heat shield but it's not because i took it to a mechanic. Does anyone have this problem and did u find a solution?

Does the rattle sound a little like a Buzz? Is it very precise, short and a little like a pump? It's most likely the ABS system initalizing. It's pressurizing the servos and doing a self check with the speed sensors. It can only do this when you first start rolling. On some cars it will do it while in reverse, others in drive.
 
My wife also heard thsi noise. I haven't noticed it, but I've probably used to it form the '04 Accord I had.

It's more of a spring that got moved and vibrates.You mentioned pump, but more of a bump. The noise is predictable and is not random in any way. And the second thing you mentioned, it is only when it starts rolling for the first few feet. thanks in advance.

Yup, defintely sounds like it's the ABS unit (servo driven pump motor I think, like on my motorcycle) going through it's initilization. Totally normal. The manual might make some mention of it. I wish dealers imformed their customers about it.

Premature worn of rear brake pad by winsan

I rotated the tires of my 03 altima last weekend. I checked the brake pads, and I noticed that the inner pad of the driver side rear brake pads was worn - more than even the front pads. The outer pad was still good. I also noticed that the outer side of the disc was rusted. I would assume the disc would have smooth surface from having friction with the pad. What caused this? Is this serious?

Probably the caliper is not sliding properly in its guide. Disassemble, clean, grease, reassemble, new pads.
