You are in the Nissan Altima Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
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: ray_h1 (Aug 08, 2006 6:37 am) 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. |

Hello All , I have been reading some of your posts and for sure there are some pretty unhappy people here. I am presently in the final stages of purchasing an 06 Altima 2.5 SE Special Edition. I now own a Pathfinder which has been one of the best vehicles I have ever owned. I have talked to the local dealer and I have been reassured that the issue of the oil consumption will be resolved fully before I ever take possession of this car. The deal too is unmatched by Honda or Toyota, almost $4,000 difference in price out the door. They have an 84 month extended warranty as well as free oil changes/tire rotation for life. That is pretty hard to beat. My feelings are that Nissan is a company that has been around for a long time. They generally produced some pretty remarkable vehilces and this oil issue will be resolved. Unless I missed the boat here I think they have covered most everything and I'm getting quite a good deal. |

| HEY it's the big tuna. Just to let you all know i WON MY CASE AGAINST NISSAN!!!!! NOW THE RATS HAVE TO BUY THE CAR BACK!!! To Quote the arbitrator" The oil consumption problem is clearly a manufacturing defect and the vehicles value has substantially impaired." In New York the lemon law is clear. Take your car to nissan have them do the oil check. Request they repair the car. Get the documentation for three or more visits. Send the certified letters to the dealer and Nissan North America requesting a full refund. They have a set time period to fix the car 30 days. That's FIX THE CAR!!! not install a rebuilt motor. That lowers the value of the car. File with the BBB arbitration, fill out the paperwork send it back get a hearing date and present your case. Nissan dosen't have a leg to stand on. Anyone with questions send me an email | |
