#677 of 696 Re: Power door lock switch [sfbaychris] by vikarious Jun 24, 2008 (8:57 am)
Replying to: sfbaychris (Jun 24, 2008 8:48 am) Mine's like that to0 - not a hybrid though.   And I think the buttons are backwards. IMO the lock should be on the bottom of the button and unlock on top - but it's the other way around. (If I recall correctly.)   Not a big deal, but just kinda weird.   The other thing that REALLY bothers me, is the power points. The one in the front dash only works when the car is running, where as the one that's tucked away in the console works all the time. It makes it hard to just leave your cell phone or whatever plugged in to charge because you can't plug it in a handy spot.   Has anyone else noticed that?

Regarding the lock and unlock, its a safety issue, they have it right, this way its harder for a kid or dog to lock themselvves in the car..

#679 of 696 2007 Altima using excess oil by bamamom Jul 18, 2008 (5:48 pm)
I got my Altima Oct. 2007 .. At 5k it began to use oil the dealership changes oil and does all work on this car. They started an oil consumption test at 6500 miles and for some reason they started another test the first time I took the car in for them to add a quart of oil. anyway, its now 8600 miles and they are telling me Nissan will prob want to replace the motor. It is 1 1/2 qt low each thousand miles or so. Any one familiar with this? If they replace the motor do I have the right to demand a new , not rebuilt motor? Should I just tell them I want a new Altima to replace this one? I don't know what to do and I have the feeling that they think this old Granny will just sit back and let them do what ever, but I won't. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Replying to: bamamom (Jul 18, 2008 5:48 pm) never heard of this problem occurring before, it just sounds like you you got a dud. It happens every once in awhile. If they have a rebuilt engine available, then thats what you'll probably get. If not, they'll put a new one in, and I can't believe there is a large supply of rebuilt engines for this car. Dont waste your time demanding a new engine, or new car. they're only going to do what the warranty requires them to do.   But, don't worry about a rebuilt engine, they're fine. I don't know how much you know about cars, but when they replace your engine, they're only talking about the actual engine block, and all the internally lubricated parts. the engine block is just a big hunk of hollowed out cast iron. thats why they reuse them, unless of course it's been cracked or scored or something. But in that case they wouldn't be rebuilding it anyway.

Replying to: flightnurse (Jun 24, 2008 12:04 pm) Well, it is the bottom (unlock) logo not lighted up. Now I know, it is not just my Altima has this issue. I don't think this is desgin this way. Looks like a bug to me. Replies to this message: mz6greyghost (Jul 24, 2008 10:45 am)

Replying to: sfbaychris (Jul 21, 2008 1:59 pm) I don't think this is desgin this way. Looks like a bug to me.   No "bug" at all, it's by design.   All Altima's are like this, even ones on the showroom floor.
#683 of 696 AC not working by altimalady Apr 22, 2009 (11:43 am)
I have a 2007 2.5S Altima and recently I noticed my air conditioning is not producing any cold air. I brought the car to the dealership and they pumped some freon in it and a dye to see where the leak is coming from. After driving it for about a week the dealership is still unable to find the leak so I have to go back in a couple of days.   The dealership was quick to warn me that if a stone hit a component of the AC that it would not be covered by the warranty. Of course, I'm very upset that I have this problem only two years into owning the car. I maintain my car at the dealership and I will be devastated if this is a non-warranty issue.   Am I the only one experiencing this problem?

Replying to: altimalady (Apr 22, 2009 11:43 am) No, but you may have another option you might not have thought of. If they do formally determine something (a stone like you said) hit one of the AC components, it is conceivable you could collect, minus your deductible, under the collision provision of your insurance. A rock hitting a part of the car is considered a collision just as much as another car is. Replies to this message: altimalady (Apr 24, 2009 11:08 am)

Replying to: victrolajazz (Apr 22, 2009 12:04 pm) Thanks for the insight. I didn't know this.   I took the car in today for a 2nd inspection and again they could not find the leak. The tech believes that since the leak appears minor, that it may have started from day one and that it may well be a seal. I have to keep driving the car and taking it in for further checks until the leak finally appears.   Grrrrrrrrr!
#686 of 696 Altima 2007 vs Honda Civic 2007 by cj7375 Jun 21, 2009 (5:56 am)
I bought Honda Civic 2007 brand new, I love the car but it seems to be small for our family of 4.   Now, I am thinking of trading it for Nissan Altima 2007 4 cyl.   I know these 2 cars are in dirrerent categories, but still - do you think this would be a good trade ?   Will Nissan Altima 2007 be as durable as the Civic 2007 in a long term ?   I plan (if I do the switch) to keep the Nissan Altima for 10 years .
