Broken Cruise Control Button by dtownmil

The steering wheel mounted button that sets and coasts (lower right hand) broke off. It looks like it just snaps into place, but the button itself has broken "clips". Does anyone know where I can order this button...or find the part number?
 
Thanks in advance.

I leased a 2006 altima. I have had to replace the tires after 2 years. My lease is up in 4 weeks and I came out of work one day and I could not start the car. I thought it was the battery. It was tested and the battery is fine. Every time I turn the car off I have to get it jumped to start. After researching this appears to be a very common problem from 2005 to 2007. Apparently there is a recall and the ECM needs to be replaced. The car is running horribly and I cannot wait to turn it it. I would not get another nissan altima

Mine kept from starting after a few days of standing still at a friends house. I ended up replacing the battery from AAA and getting a new generator. the problem was cured.

My 05 3.5 SL has developed the timing chain problem at 69000. Having same problems with Nissan customer service. They are unwilling to stand behind their product when it is known that their design caused the problem. NTB07-042a (service bulletin)
 
Maybe WE NEED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN.
 
This problem is a design problem and Nissan should pay for all repairs. In most cases nothing the owner did contributed to this manufacturer defect.

It is my understanding that there is no timing chain or belt in the altimas.

All engines have either a timing chain or belt. The 2.5 has an chain, with no recommended service interval.

This car usually runs great, no problems, no CE light. This morning the car would turn over but would not fire. What should be checked first?
 
I plan to check the plug wires. Any suggestions?

Driver side window not closing automatically by g35flooded

Hey Guys,
  
   I just recently gave back my Infiniti G35 due to getting older and getting engaged so saving money right now is a smart thing to do so I picked up an 06 altima special addition from someone on craigslist.
  
The car runs great and only has 33k miles on it and I just got a new battery and tires which I already new before I got the car.
  
Anyway, the owner advised me about the driver side window not closing automatically due to a security glitch all nissans and infiniti has. I had the same problem with my Infiniti but the fix was different than it is with the altima.
  
Basically when i close my window with the "one touch up " push of the button the window goes all the way to the top and then back down about 4 inches as a security measure as if there is something in the window. I believe there is a switch to turn that off under the door panel but I want to make sure before I do this myself. The car is no longet under the warranty and the dealership will prob charge me 50bucks or so so I fiugre I can just do it myself. If anyone here knows the fix please let me know . Thanks!

1997 Nissan Altima - engine shutsoff while running by avala

Engine Mechanical problem
1997 Nissan Altima 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 95000 miles
 
Hi, Thanks for the service.
 
I all started on one fine day when my car started shaking and smoke started coming out of the engine. I took it to a mechanic and he said my Distributor is gone. I got it replaced.
 
Then after couple of days the engine got cut off while I was trying to stop my car for a red light. But started again. I googled it and read somewhere that it might be a knock sensor problem and we can easily start it back easily after the engine shuts off. Then one day it stopped again and this time it did not start again. I could also smell some gas inside my car. I have to get it towed. Then after a couple of days it started. It stopped again and again I have to get it towed and again it started after a couple of days.
 
Yesterday I took it to a mechanic and he said he could not check anything if the car was running and could only help me if it stops and doesn't start again. So I took it to a Nissan Service center. He looked it up and told me that the Battery Positive Terminal was not properly cleaned and that's what is causing the engine to shutoff.
 
But this morning it stopped again at the signal.
 
I am fed with spending all my earnings to the towing company. Even Nissan Service Center could not help me.
 
Please tell me a possible reason for this so that I could get it fixed one last time.
