Replying to: annie07 (Feb 01, 2008 5:39 pm) I did not know about the rattle recall until the service writer told me they could take care of it today while doing the smart key replacement. Further, I was told that the dealers had been waiting for Nissan to send them the "special tool" that would take care of the problem. Special tool? Our rattle was into week two after getting the heat shields tightened (for the second time..) eight weeks ago. It was getting unusually louder by this morning. So, the purpose of my posting tonight is to relay what has happened and make sure everyone is aware of this recall that was waiting on the "special tool." My goal is to exceed six weeks without the rattle returning...... We have had no other issues with the Altima 2.5 and believe it to be a good car otherwise. Again, good luck to all.

Replying to: annie07 (Feb 01, 2008 5:39 pm) I have got back car from this 2nd dealer that I went to and my rattle is completely gone. this is what they did. Plate heat shld Cover exhaust M Manifold Assy E Gasket Exhaust Gasket Exhaust Stud Also, they told me they fixed cadilac something. I don't recall what it was exactly but they fixed that also. (I will get more info and post new comment later) About petition.. I think all of us should ask for longer warranty or some kind of benefit out of their mistakes. I think most of us went to nissan more than 10 times (for myself 12). anybody up for this?

Replying to: baek1987 (Feb 06, 2008 5:40 pm) The smart keys were replaced as part of a recall. Cell phones may wipe out the transmitting code if too close to the smart keys. Check with your dealer about the recall. I am surprised they didn't mention it to you during your last visit. Good luck! |

Well i just had my fourth heat sheild put on and still makeing the same noise!!! i am going to email channel 4 eye team and see if they will do a story on these 07 engine problems and nissan not doing anything to fix our cars! after four heat sheilds you would think they would realize thats not the problem! i think the lifters are not priming up until the oil gets warm! i live in a very small town and i know three people here with the same problem! i will email channel 2 to. if anyone would like to email them to maybe the more people who emails them about this problem we might get them to do a story! nissan might hear us then!!!! i go before the arbertration board at the end of this month wish me good luck!!!!!

Replying to: annie07 (Feb 11, 2008 5:32 pm) I changed the oil in our 2.5S this weekend, and wasn't sure which heat shield it might be. Ours doesn't make any noise, but I want to know: a) is it the shield surrounding the exhaust manifold & first catalytic converter?  OR b) is it the heat shield surrounding the exhaust pipe underneath the body?

WELL IF ANY ONE ELSE IS HAVING THESE PROBLEMS BE SURE YOU DOCUMENT EVERYTHING..IT WILL BE TO LATE DOWN THE ROAD! I NEVER DREAMED I WOULD BE GOING THROUGH ALL OF THIS! IT HAS BEEN A PAIN AND I STILL HAVE TO GO BEFORE ARBERTRATION BOARD. ALOT OF HEAD ACHE FOR SOMETING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED UNDER MY WARRANTY!! I DONT THINK THEY KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS PROBLEM! ALL I KNOW IS THE SERVICE TECH. TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE NEW NISSAN ROGUE!!! SAME ENGINE NOISE!!!! IF ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAINS I SEE ANOTHER RECALL!!!!!!!!!!!
