Hi Everyone,
 
I just purchased a new 08 NAH. Everything is working excellent, except for 1.
 
My question is on the meter on the right that shows the charging level. It never has been above 3/4 high. It has never been below 1/4 low. Has anyone ever seen there's above 3/4? Have you ever seen your meter fully charged to the top? I can't get mine to go their. I have about 800 miles now. It's running great except for this 1 item. Maybe that is the way it should be. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks again. Been getting 34 to 38. Love It !! This is a great forum.

My 08' NAH works exactly the same way. Never had a single issue.

Mine too. I wouldn't worry about what the meter says. If you are getting 34 - 38 mpg and your car will run in EV mode up to 40 mpg (with very gentle acceleration) up to 1 1.5 miles than everything is fine.

Exactly the same as mine. Meter always between 1/2 and 3/4. I have 1100 miles now....got 34 MPG first tank, 40 MPG 2nd tank.....can't ask for anything more. Great experience so far.

Car revs up in park 08 Nissan Ultima Hybrid by new_2_hybrids

We've had this car for 1 month. A week ago my husband noticed that the car was making a very high idling noise when the car would change from gas/electric or vice versa. This only happened when the car was at a stop. I noticed this also and the car would sputter too. He took the car to the dealership and drove it with the service manager but of course it didn't make that noise. The manager said to keep an eye on the car and keep a log and if problems persist to come back. Well it happened a few times this weekend and today when my husband was driving it.
He took the car to the dealership and it was idling so loud that everyone in the parking turned around. The mechanics and service manager were surprised to see this happening. Apparently this has never happend before. So we have a rental car so they can see what the problem is.
 
Anyone have any suggestions on what the root of the problem is?

This is similar to the behavior of my NAH last week. Revving too high -- occasionally revving up and down even when in gear (though it didn't move the car when it was doing that). And a shudder when the gas engine shut off.
 
The tech said that the idle speed was too high (1200 vs. 1000). No explanation for why it would have happened after 2 weeks of flawless driving.
 
In any case, after the adjustment (done twice as i mentioned on another thread) all is well and the car is smooth as can be. I hope yours turns out to be as simple a fix! good luck!

Anyone know if the iPhone works alright with the Altima's bluetooth?

Be very careful! Just because the car has the bluetooth feature, do not assume that the feature will work with most phones. I am having a lot of problems with my blackberry, some are "approved" some are not. I also checked into the Palm Pilots, some will work some do not. I have already had the control unit replaced, the bluetooth feature can only be used when the car is motionless and perfectly quiet. The microphone picks up way too much background noise and/or my voice comes across very muffled. No one can understand what I am saying. I will have to bring the car back again; I don;t know what they will do to correct it all I know is that it is not very usable. The speakers work fine, no problem hearing voice when I am called, but the opposite is not true.

Thanks for the heads up.
 
Do you happen to know where to find out which phones are "approved"? The bluetooth is kind of an important factor living in Los Angeles with the new cell-phone law.
