Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 32 of 32, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The brake light and battery light come on simultaneously the car feel s like it wants to stall. But goes away. Then it ha coming on more and more and as I drive all of a sudden all my rpms speed go from 40 ,60 or at 80 drop to zero . Like the car wants to die but kicks back on. It happens at a traffic light or driving the intermediate brake battery light coming on. Once the car warms up is when I notice it starting. It happens on city streets, but the all rpms and speedometer dropped several times last week 9 times in a 15 mile span as I was on a interstate.
The fuel gauge is inaccurate and the service engine lights illuminates with fault code p0462. Money spent unnecessarily on brand new fuel pump assembly problem still exists. Occurs both stationary and in motion problem occurs.
Takata recall the car uses excessive engine oil and gets poor gas mileage. The car also has slipping transmission at times when excelerating. Suspension is also an issue.
The gas gauge said half full but stalled out going down the highway. The car would not start had to call for someone to bring me gasoline I almost got hit by other cars behind me, this has happened several times. This car is vary unsafe I have two young ones I need to drive around.
My dte said 180 miles, with almost a half tank of gas, car stopped on me on freeway, no warning light of low fuel. Car stopped and an accident occurred because of this problem. The dte or gas gauge does not read accurately. Please I need help
Car was sputtering at intersections and hard to start. Took to mechanic twice & he could not find anything wrong; said he thought it might be a recall problem; say where there was a problem with the wiring harness on full pump shorting out; part is on national recall; service engine light remained on
Check engine light keeps coming on, stating low fuel sensoe out. $1200.00 worht of work, replaced the fuel pump and sensor. Now they are stating it is the wiring harness on fuel pump shorting out. Part is on national recall.
Severe oil seal leakage, leaves a huge puddle on ground after driving, or parked.
Car has trouble starting. Stalls at low speeds and at red lights. Check engine light is on, with codes for the crankshaft pos sensor and the speed sensor. Replacing the crankshaft sensor doesn't do anything - problem persists, code stays on.
Takata,recall my car will have gas in the car the next minute I will be empty and stall on highway several times. The speed of vehicle sometimes wont go a certain speed then all sudden goes fast. I had sensors replaced twice in the last two years.my car completely shut down on highway.
The car suddenly died in traffic and I couldn't get it to start. I had to put the car in neutral and push it out of the road. The gas gauge was reading that it had over a quarter tank of gas when it was actually empty. It caused my vehicle to run out of gas in traffic. This is extremely dangerous and could have caused me to get into a serious accident. No damage or injuries occurred in this particular incident, so I did not contact police.

I bought the car in may 2009. Up until june 2013, no problems other than regular maintenance. Car overheats and has been since june 2013 on and off. Have had battery replaced 2 times, tune up, crank shaft sensor replaced, broken seal replaced (that keeps oil/coolant) in car. Have had problems with car not starting, engine turns over but won't start. I have to keep putting anti-freeze in car before I drive it every few days if I don't the heater blows out hot air, then cold which is when overheating occurs. White smoke coming out of exhaust pipe. Been to local mechanic 3 times, and they keep charging to fix it ($500 so far). They did tune up, replace battery and fixe the broken seal. I'm a nervous wreck driving it because I'm afraid I'll get stuck somewhere.
While driving on the i95 the car shut off and would not restart at 55mph. Thank god, I did not get into an accident and was able to coast over to the guardrail. I had to have my car towed to my mechanic that informed me it appeared to be the crankshaft sensor and said since it was a recall item I should have it brought to my local nissan dealer. I had the car towed to miller nissan in fairfield ct and informed them of my mechanics findings. They checked the car and told me it was the fuel pump and replaced it even with me expressing that my current mechanic already checked that. After replacing the fuel pump they called me back and said it still wasn't working. It ended up being the ECM along with another sensor!! I expressed how upset I was that this sensor failed why I was driving at a high speed on the highway! I am currently working with nissan corporate recall department because everything I'm reading is still indicating that the crankshaft sensor could cause malfunctions in other sensors in the car!! I'm not happy that nissan is charging me for the new fuel pump they installed along with the sensors totaling $1,943,00!!

The vehicle is slow in changing gears.
When trying to fuel the vehicle pump continues to shut off. Car taken in for repairs, and I was told I did not know how to put fuel in the car. Taken a second time, and they looked at the car. Fixed the problem after many attempts. Car was having same problem again after 1 month.
My nissan altima se 2006 has an issue with the gas cap is so tight that it is impossible to take it off without hurting yourself. Most of the time I need to get the gas station attendant to remove it and he also has a hard time. On sunday I tried to get some gas and the gas cap wouldn't come off at all. Monday the nissan dealership tells me that because of the plastic and spring design they have a tendency of braking and yet they replaced with the same type of gas cap. Today I tried to refuel and again I couldn't get the gas cap off and had to go back in to a different nissan dealer. Why not just change the design so that it doesn't brake?
Tl* - the contact stated that every time the brakes were applied they made a loud squealing noise. The contact took the vehicle to two dealerships in virginia.

Brand new 2006 altima 2.5s devlivered to me with a bad fuel pump. Service engine light was on. But went off after I fill up. Then came back on with the fuel light showing. Had to take it back with just 85 miles on it. Had to go back down to dealer. Service tech said I couldnt get a loaner car it wasnt covered under the warrenty. I lived 45 miles away, they wouldnt take me home. Finally went to the salesman and he gladly gave me another car to drive until it was fixed 3 days later.
