#2223 of 2486 Re: shaking upon shifting to drive froma park [motoguy128] by iamfrnk Apr 08, 2008 (3:39 pm)
Replying to: motoguy128 (Apr 08, 2008 10:44 am) 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. Replies to this message: motoguy128 (Apr 10, 2008 10:05 am)
#2224 of 2486 ABS pump by motoguy128 Apr 10, 2008 (10:05 am)
Replying to: iamfrnk (Apr 08, 2008 3:39 pm) 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.
#2225 of 2486 Premature worn of rear brake pad by winsan Apr 15, 2008 (10:08 am)
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? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Apr 15, 2008 12:19 pm)

Replying to: winsan (Apr 15, 2008 10:08 am) Probably the caliper is not sliding properly in its guide. Disassemble, clean, grease, reassemble, new pads.   Visiting Host

Replying to: deluxe123 (Apr 04, 2008 1:27 pm) Have you checked to see if its something simple like the trunk light not shutting off? 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.
#2228 of 2486 Altima Hybrid by dkich Apr 20, 2008 (4:40 am)
I will be picking up my new Altima Hybrid Tuesday and I am a little nervous as to the overall quality ( rattles and squeeks ) that I read about. Are these a common condition of the cars?   dkich Replies to this message: jd10013 (Apr 20, 2008 6:16 am) skinsfan3 (Apr 20, 2008 7:09 am) busiris (Apr 20, 2008 12:11 pm)

Replying to: dkich (Apr 20, 2008 4:40 am) depends on you. if your really picky about those kinds of things, then I'm sure you'll find at least one to complain about. But, if your comfortable with the normal amount of rattles and squeaks that every non-luxury car has, then there's nothing to worry about. Replies to this message: skinsfan3 (Apr 20, 2008 7:09 am)

Replying to: dkich (Apr 20, 2008 4:40 am) I have an 08 Altima 2.5SL, with a little over 2K miles. Only one squeak/rattle issue, and that was a loose headliner behind the sunroof right after I picked it up. I fixed it myself in 30 seconds (4 months ago), and no re-occurance.   That's my experince with the car....
#2232 of 2486 2600 miles and Serpentine belt breaks? by newnissan Apr 20, 2008 (8:05 pm)
At least that's what the wrecker driver said when he looked under the hood of the car last night about 11 pm. Driving back the 32 miles from dinner with relatives, I heard a loud thunk and simultaneously the battery light came on, along with the 'brake' light and the brand new Altima SE 3.5 (4cyl) didn't want to drive anymore...or steer either, btw...but somehow, fortunately, 4 separate times when the car bucked and didn't want to go, I gently encouraged the accelerator pedal and then it would pick back up to 40-42 mph and I could go another 8 miles or so and repeated that until I made it safely into well-lit gas station area for the wrecker. I've never heard of a brand new car throwing a belt, serpentine or otherwise at 2600 miles...the dealer will get my call tomorrow morning to come get this and fix it, but has anyone ever heard of this with an Altima? GM, yes, absolutely, but Nissan? I thought not. Hopefully the dealer won't call 2600 miles "normal wear and tear" and try to weasel out of fixing it...had I been on the freeway at 70 mph in big city where I'd been 4 days earlier....it scares me to think what could have happened.
