Replying to: smarty666 (Aug 31, 2009 6:46 pm) Nissan doesn't seem to think they have a problem. When I told them about this thread, they said they don't read "blogs". Any Company that is that out of touch deserves to lose customers. They have a great car with the Altima and obviously they are willing to let it go by the wayside. Don't they understand that savvy customer will go to this website BEFORE buying to a new car because this is where you REALLY find out what's going on with a vehicle? Not by reading Motor Trend. Nissan wants me to take a car that is STILL in warranty and PAY the Nissan dealership to do a diagnosis. They want me to pay for a rental if the car has to be kept overnight. I have owned about 30 cars. This was my first Nissan. I now know how they feel......It will be my last.

Replying to: thatlady (Aug 31, 2009 6:24 am) Yes....I hear the thumping noise....and it sounds like it comes from more than one place. I also have my car at the dealership right now with 34000 miles on it (2009)..commuter...but not in traffic. 95% of that mileage is on the freeway, not using the brakes. I have noise...squeeking that I have had for awhile now. When you really lay on the brakes, it sounds like the car is "groaning". When I took it in today, they brought up the TSB's, and the tech used the term "groaning". Obviously something is wrong, as there is no way I should have brake probs yet. I had an '03 & '06. Altima. '03 had 99000 miles...i brake job around 75000. '06...75000...no brake job. not even a noise. The problem with these brakes is the CVT transmission. IMO, the transmission does nothing to help slow the car down, and therefore the brakes are doing all of the work. That is what I think is causing the problem. I am glad I found this forum...if they try and hose me tomorrow, I will mention this, and then call Nissan and demand they do something.
