#2 of 497 Recall on Altimas by c2rosa Jul 11, 2006 (4:53 am)
NISSAN RECALLS NEARLY 100,000 VEHICLES .... According to Edmund's Inside Line, Nissan has recalled 96,800 2006 Altimas and Sentra SE-Rs because of a risk of engine fire.   The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that the 2.5-liter engines in the cars "may experience excessive oil consumption as a result of improper performance of the piston rings," a condition that could lead to an engine fire.NHTSA said if engine oil is not maintained at least at minimum levels, engine damage is likely and a fire is possible.   Owners can contact Nissan at (800) 647-7261 or NHTSA at (800) 424-9153.

Read it here:   "In a separate announcement, Nissan North America Inc. said it would recall 200,000 Altima and Sentra sedans from the 2003 model year to fix a faulty sensor that can cause the engine to shut down in routine traffic."   http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060713/AUTO01/607130390/1148- /AUTO01 Replies to this message: keb8278 (Sep 09, 2006 7:13 pm) buddy19 (Jan 28, 2008 7:14 pm) missvholmes (Sep 10, 2006 9:51 am) pomurray (Sep 18, 2007 11:40 am) electricdesign (Oct 18, 2007 7:14 pm) and 12 more...

I purchase an 06 altima/lemon in Feb of 2006. Then came the recall letter sometime in May.Have not heard anyting since from Nissian not even the dealership. Been waiting to see what Nissian is going to do to correct there problems. They seem to be stailling on this matter. Feel as if I have brought a lemon. Driving this car around with the safety issue that it may caught on fire. What are they waiting for? Read once that they were going to replace the motors by internet awhile back. Nothing is happening. Looking for someone to do a class action lawsuit againt Nissian Corp. Several other recall going on this same model of car.

Replying to: sharn (Aug 07, 2006 6:06 pm) sharn, exactly what problems have you noticed with your car engine's operation that leads you to believe it has the faulty piston ring problem? (Not all of them do.) Have you contacted Nissan on their national toll-free phone number as a follow-up to Nissan's letter campaign for information about where your car stands for replacement engine consideration and, if applicable, roughly when?

Replying to: ray_h1 (Aug 08, 2006 6:37 am) I too am the proud owner of yet another Nissan lemon. I have the sentra SER V Spec. 2.5 L Oil eating pile of crap. I too filed with the BBB. Hearing date is 8/30/06. BEWARE OF NISSAN!!! Tried to scam me! If you bring it in for the oil check MAKE SURE THEY PUT IT DOWN AS A CHECK BECAUSE OF THE RECALL HAVE THE SERVICE GUY CHECK THE OIL IN FRONT OF YOU!!!! and get your receipt. Nissan to date has no new motors re builds yes. Nissan is going to take the cheapest way out. Second letter went out Nissan still has no solution. I have been offered a motor Nissan said it would expedite sending it to the dealer. That was the end of June. Still no word. Second offer for a motor came just prior to arbitration with BBB Nissan stated it would be available in 90 days. Give me a brake they were quick enough to take my cash but left me hanging. Also the oil blowing back through the exhaust will damage the converter. That's why they tell you not to over fill your oil. If they change your motor make sure they change the converter also. If I don't get a buy back through the BBB I'm going to park the car IFO the dealership with the biggest signs I can buy stating "ASK ME ABOUT MY NISSAN LEMON AND HOW NISSAN TREATS IT"S CUSTOMERS!!! I will keep you all posted.

Replying to: bigtuna1 (Aug 29, 2006 6:02 pm) Sorry to hear about YOUR Nissan, I too own an Altima with the engine oil consumption problems (going thru my 2nd oil consumption test, first one dealer forgot to mark the dip stick (punch) so test was invalid).. What REALLY concerns me is the marking down of new Altimas returned for rebuilt engines by the Dealers.. See post #718 in Prices Paid, the Dealers are reducing the value of our cars by offering a $1500 discount on cars that were returned to Nissan for engines.. I feel this might be used as Lemon Law grounds.. Somehow this is just not FAIR to those of us who bought cars in good faith.. Anyway I wish you all the best in your quest, let us know how you make out..
