New to the Site 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... |

Replying to: deluxe123 (Apr 04, 2008 1:27 pm) 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. |

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?

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?

Replying to: deluxe123 (Apr 04, 2008 1:27 pm) It can kill the battery overnight. Its a simple check, you can hop in the trunk and have the lid closed or you can use a test light (looks like a small screwdriver with a light bulb inside the handle and a electrical wire coming out the end of the handle), now when everything has turn off on the car ,disconnect the neg. battery cable, put the test light between the battery terminal an the neg. cable. If the light comes on, something is on. You can then disconnect wires/ take out light bulbs to see if the test light goes out. |
