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?

Loss of dashboard lights by smartdesserts

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?

Problem breathing inside the car by marie2535

We start being sick in our Altima 6 month ago. Chess pain and raw throat, but no smell in the car. We’ve been to 4 different mechanics. Doctor's agree with us that something is irritating lungs, Right now we do not know what the problem is, we do know something is affecting our lungs, it is something that takes time to take effect, it is not happening over night.
We got the car tested for Carbon monoxide, it was negative. We don’t know what to do anymore; anyone experienced that kind of issues??

Do you have another car to drive for a week or get a rental and see if things clear up. Then go back to the Altima and see if symptoms return. See if there is a freon leak.
Find a person who can take an air sample of your car on the inside while running and maybe with the AC on then off. It could be off-gassing from the fabric or carpet flooring.
You could also google your problem and see what comes up.
 
Good Luck,

Any one can help me further clarify this code or help me with further trouble shoot.

Mine was bought new. I get the same crappy local mileage you do, but on the highway, I get around 33. My low mileage for local driving depends upon how and where I go (That is normal). I use an honest repair shop and have talked to them about a tune up. They told me that this is a typical complaint from others (not altimas) and is due to the gasoline blend these days, methanol, etc. and to save my money. Also said with those platinum plugs, I should be able to go 100,000 miles before changing them.
 
Stay away from jackrabbitt starts. Think about how much it takes for an engine to start from a stop and get up yo speed you are looking for. I try to time my stopping for lights by slowing down or coasting to them. I am now at 70k miles and think the 03 is perhaps the best altima nissan produced. You hardly ever see them up or sale.

Noisy clickling fan by altimadude00

The cabin Climate Control fan in my '05 Altima has been making a clicking noise at all speeds. A number of things could be wrong with it, but it sounds like it's rubbing against something.
 
Would it be an easy DIY job for me to look at it, or should I take it to the dealer? If I were to look at it, how would I get to it?
 
It's the only thing in the car that's making noise and it's driving me up the wall.

thee days of car dealers not making sales (I will bet they have to go "check with the general manager", the oldest rtick in the book, I am sure that there is tremendous pressure on service departments to find work." If I were you, absent of a good local repair shop, I would tun the volume up on my radio, Good luck.

2009 Altima SL Seat discomfort by orion123
Mar 11, 2009 (4:35 pm)
Reply
Has anyone out there experienced seat discomfort with the 09 Altima SL? Specifically the lack of support the lower back has on the driver side? Seems like the seat gives way too much and my back is sore after 20 mins of driving. The lumbar support really doesnt help since it is just pushing in all the way at the bottom. Seems like the seat from about half way down caves in...
 
Anyone else feel this or is it just me? Thanks
