#2368 of 2486 Cabin filter by efitzgerald Jan 27, 2009 (11:07 am)
Can anyone tell me if its easy or not to attempt changing my cabin filter on my 2007 Nissan Altima 2.5 lt ? I understand it thru the glove compartment. Replies to this message: quicksilva (Jan 27, 2009 8:59 pm)

Replying to: quicksilva (Jan 26, 2009 9:22 pm) most of the time white smoke is caused by antifreeze getting burned in the cylinders.

Replying to: whitmada (Jan 26, 2009 7:21 pm) I cannot imagine that the brakes have anything to do with this problem. My guess is that you have a bad radiator. Did you have enough anti-freeze and was it exposed to extremely cold weather? It may pay to check to see if the hoses are connected tightly. Maybe they are leaking?

Replying to: efitzgerald (Jan 27, 2009 11:07 am) It is located behind the glove box and, it is really easy. Remove the door look for the compartment housing with a few screws. It should not need to be changed until 30,000.00 miles unless you live in a dusty envoirnment.
#2373 of 2486 Altima Transmission Let's Loose by Brentl23 Jan 28, 2009 (10:08 am)
I don't know if this paints a perfect picture, but my new 2009 Altima 2.5 SL feels like it is letting loose at slow speeds when coming to a stop. At less than 15 mph when braking to a stop, the transmission lets out of gear and I need to brake a bit more than prior to the slippage. Not a big problem, but this is more pronounced on this car than any other I have ever driven. Does anyone else experience this?

Replying to: dsantos0815 (Dec 04, 2008 10:27 pm) Thanks for your response.   The dealer also said that it was normal. It is the resetting of the brake-interlock. I hardly think that an audible resetting of the interlock is normal operation. However, the click hasn't gotten louder nor hasn't interfered with the operation of the transmission. Looks like I'll have to suffer through having that click.
#2375 of 2486 Clicking noise, Bose radio, CVT slippage by tarnmaster Jan 30, 2009 (12:15 pm)
Greetings ... as far as the clicking noise when applying the brake to put the car in gear, that audible click is the actuator releasing the shift interlock ... I've heard that on all makes, so it is not unique to your car ... Audi introduced it in the '80's when people unjustly accused the car of unintended acceleration because they were pressing the accelerator pedal instead of the brake pedal - the interlock assures your foot is on the brake and not the accelerator when you put the car in gear ...   The Bose radio, and many others, have SSV - Speed Sensitive Volume ... the volume increases as the noise level in the car increases ... this can happen as you increase speed which can increase noise from tires, engine, wind noise, even crying babies or kids acting up, and will raise if you yell at them to stop ... you can adjust the sensivity level from the "audio" button on your radio ...   When slowing down, CVT transmission will "give way" a little as the belt and cones adjust themselves ... happened to me first when I was selling the old Subaru Justy ... it's a little unnerving at first - just have to get accustomed to it, sorta like getting used to the car's behavior when the Dyncmic Control activates, or, in the case of the Altima Hybrid, when the car shifts into and out of electric mode ... just one of those things technology brings into play which we are not accustomed to ...

So I have a 2005 nissa altima and it has 115k miles. I haven't given it a major tune up and now of course its making funny noises. Help me please.   The AC doesn't do its job anymore...when i turn it on, it makes a "dzzzzzz"...sorta like a hose emptying its last amount of gas....no cold air.   When I drive, I can hear a da-dump, da-dump, da-dump sound coming from my back tires....the back tires have slight bumps found in the middle of tire tread.   When I try to start the car, it fails to turn on immediately...rather it sounds like the motor doesnt have gas, after pumping the gas peddle it turns on and when it does the motor shakes.   when the motor is in park and idles, it now makes a noticible bu-bump, bu-bump sound until I place it in drive.   I never done a spark plug change....   I now jack about car maintenance...what do i do? help Replies to this message: rugmankc (Feb 02, 2009 7:27 am) write2diaz (Feb 02, 2009 3:11 pm) rugmankc (Feb 02, 2009 4:15 pm) and 1 more... str8nutz (Feb 17, 2009 9:08 pm)

Replying to: write2diaz (Feb 02, 2009 12:46 am) Find a good local mechanic and take it in for service.   New tires and recharging the AC may solve two of the problems. You may want them to check with die for a freon leak in the AC system.   Other problems will need someone to look at. Can be a number of possibilities.   Ken Replies to this message: write2diaz (Feb 02, 2009 3:11 pm) rugmankc (Feb 02, 2009 4:15 pm) quicksilva (Feb 03, 2009 8:47 am)
