"It also shifts very slowly between gears to the point where on my way to work this morning it actually slipped and didn't shift and I almost got into an accident"
 
I'm assuming that from your saying "it" didn't shift, you have an automatic. If you do, your transmission does not shift at all--it is, as its name implies, continuously variable--simply stated, a metal belt riding up and down on pulleys between two cones, with the belts riding up and down in small increments which gives a seamless, shiftless drive.
 
As far as the other part, computer-controlled engines are sometimes very frustrating--the slightest problem with a sensor can cause all kinds of drivability problems--not like in the mechanical old days when a problem presented itself for all the world to see. Good luck!

#370 of 373 new 2.5 S coupe by craig367

Just picked up on Thurs. and I really enjoy driving this car. Very quick for a 4 cylinder, comfortable interior. I'm getting used to the light steering. I had a 2006 accord coupe and they really are quite different. Smaller and lighter equals better mileage. I located one with pzev emissions, which was a bit of a challenge, so the car is a nice combo of green and fun. Maybe one of the best available.

#371 of 373 gas cap failue by roadrunner70

Nov 23, 2008 (6:25 pm)

my 03 murano needed a new gas cap at about 35000 miles. my new altima's gas cap seems to loosen on its own, sometimes i can tighten it and the light goes off, sometimes i can't and it stays on.
 
anyone else having issues with nissan gas caps.
 
the dealer is taking its time replacing the altima's cap.
 
thanks, rr70

#372 of 373 hi, quick question by wsbkp08

Jun 18, 2009 (10:34 pm)

I bought 08 altima coupe 3.5se recently, a used one.
It runs great and I abs. love it.
however, i noticed one small problem, yet annoying.
Whenever I go on a bumpy road, from my bose stereo (rear right back) I hear this not rattling noise, but lil static, squeaking noise. I dont know how to explain it, but it sounds like a fly buzzing or a rock or a plastic running around inside of my stereo. Thats what it sounds like...
It is really annoying and I want to fix it.
I tried everything, I super glued the bose logo, bc i heard some ppl said it was that
I know it isnt from the rear seat, bc I heard when I put rear seat down..
I really dont wanna go to a dealership, but wanna to fix it by myself.
Anyone has any idea???

Did you ever figure out what that was, because I have the same problem?
