#2386 of 2489 Re: Never again will I buy a Nissan! My car's problems- a warning for other by shead_day Feb 11, 2009 (6:50 pm)
Replying to: shead_day (Feb 10, 2009 8:08 pm) Also go along with my long list above I thought of 2 more things. The driver side door will never stay open I was told by a mechanic friend that it seemed as if the clip or whatever is in there (I know next to nothing about parts sorry) to hold it seems to be broken and the inside door marker lights like to fall out of the door and they're not noticed until the door is closed on the them and they break, I've had both sides replaced a time a piece already.

Replying to: shead_day (Feb 10, 2009 8:08 pm) It is very expensive to buy new and, perhaps it's better to get rid of it or put a new engine in it.

Replying to: shead_day (Feb 10, 2009 8:08 pm) your car is a very reliable car. especially with the 3.5VQ engine in it. the most likely problem is, this car had three other owners, and 84k miles on it. buying a used car is risky enough, but one that three other people had owned and possibly abused?   and a bit of advice for the furture. people tend to sell higher milage cars becase they know there is something wrong.

Replying to: bear26 (Apr 28, 2007 5:56 pm) I, too, am having the same problem with my 2003 Altima 3.5. I have taken it to the dealership and they said it is normal. However, it only started after having coolant flushed and they have purged the system twice to remove any air in there. I also had them check into whether the tube is clogged or not. They said the only way to stop this is to slow down the amount of water going into heater box with a filter. Unsure if this is the way to go but I'm going to call nissan and see what they have to say. I don't feel that this is normal.

Replying to: bear26 (May 06, 2007 10:59 am) Wondering if your rushing water noise has been resolved after you had your radiator bled or not. I have a 2003 altima 3.5 and it just started making this sound after having coolant flushed in dec 2008. the dealership has vacuum the air out twice and still the noise. just wanted to know if i should have radiator bled and refilled and noise will go away.

Replying to: catluver (Feb 14, 2009 12:07 pm) Hi, the rushing water noise went away after they bled out the radiator. I would suggest trying this as it seemed to be a fairly common problem according to what I heard. Thanks Replies to this message: elnino2783 (Feb 15, 2009 8:45 pm)

Replying to: bear26 (Feb 14, 2009 1:55 pm) My 2005 Altima 3.5 SE had the same bubbling water noise. I read a little about the problem and found out it was probably air in the coolant. I just topped it off and I haven't heard the noise since. I'm currently at 47,000 miles and topped it off over 20,000 miles ago. Bought the car at 22,000 miles.
#2393 of 2489 Check your Altima's VIN #,at least for 2005 by elnino2783 Feb 15, 2009 (8:57 pm)
This review of the 2005 Altima mentions that at the time they started manufacturing it there were two plants making it, one being a mature plant with experienced workers, the second being a brand new plant that was experiencing growing pains and having quality issues, at least in the beginning.   Anyways the way to tell if your Altima was made in the good plant is if the 11th position in your VIN # is a C or an N.   N is for Canton, Mississippi which is the type of 04/05 Altima you probably don't want as they had problems when they first opened . C is for Smyrna (Nashville), Tennessee which represents an Altima that will most likely have very few quality problems. This plant had been in operation since 1992.   This is where I got my info, and I haven't looked any more into it, but it seemed reputable enough: http://www.texas-cars-and-dealerships.com/nissanaltima2005.html

Replying to: write2diaz (Feb 02, 2009 12:46 am) THIS IS A REPLY TO WRITE2DIAZ remarks on his 05 altima   I have the same problem with the sound coming from the front wheels.i have 18 inch rims and new tires on all of them. I have an 05 altima v6.if you also have 18s then it solves both our problems.if not then im hoping its nothing major for the sake of both of us.   And In terms of the sound that you hear coming from the ac, i believe its a leaking hose.That what the nissan dealer told me.I have the same problem.dealer estimated $599 to repair. Damn stealerships!   And does any one know why when i put my car from park to drive it jerks? done a transmission flush but its still the same.Can it be the filter?
#2395 of 2489 Loss of dashboard lights by smartdesserts Feb 22, 2009 (5:27 pm)
My 2003 3.5 Altima has a problem. When I exited from the vehicle and turned off the ignition, the fog lights remained on and the chiming was coming from the dash when I removed the key. I made sure all the lights were in the off position but the fog lights stayed on. I also noticed when I turned the engine back on, the dashboard light by the spedometer and tachometer wasn't lighting up. Any ideas? Replies to this message: jtap0916 (Jul 03, 2009 1:43 am)
