Has anyone seen this before? Thanks Rob Z
I have changed an O2 sensor not too long ago (7-8 Mo) at nissan dealership...by the way they suck!

The sound is not that loud and does not happen every single time. But I do notice it. Please advise if you can. Thanks!!

at that price, (or any price for that matter) would be rusting. The dealer I bought it from touched it up at no cost to me, which they did not have to do, but it's basically going to only get worse, it's pretty obvious. This is my first and last Nissan, I am sorry to say, because basically mechanically, I love the car and all of it's options. Has anyone seen/heard of rust problems on these cars?
How can Nissan make such a 'huge' car with so many features that cheap? If the paint and other parts are top notch quality (at least match the quality of the engine), That would be in the level of a BMW 528 (around $36-38K).
I don't know what to tell you other than Sorry at this moment. It is just the new policy of Nissan to drive the cost down. Actually, this scares me away from the 350Z that I was very interested in.
would the airbags come out all of a sudden either while driving or braking (hard or soft)!!!?? I have been in an accident b4, but that was about 3 mo. ago and it was a side impact on the passenger side. Could it be from that... 3 mo ago the light didnt come on after the accident?
could it hurt maybe to take the airbag fuse out? or to disable it and have no airbags? (hey, older model cars dont have airbags...)
1 more question...
What could be a possible problem, just tell me anything (give me a list of possible causes) from your past experience or some problem with the altimas airbags that you or anyone might know of.
I have the v6 with leather and sunroof.
Having one problem though with the bose system.
The amp seems to over heat if played loudly (and i dont mean ear drum bleeding loud either....just regular loud). Happens fast if the music has a lot of bass and the day is hot. When it over heats the sound breaks up...bass begins to fuzz out...sounds aweful.
Haven't brought it in yet to have them look at it yet...I'll keep you advised as to if Nissan takes care of this problem
Love the car beyond this issue though
thanks
It has had all the major service. The dealer says they would have to guess but a fuel filter tune-up and tune-up are first things to be done.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Re: mpg - Over the last 2 months Edmunds has been averaging about 21.4 mpg. There doesn't seem to be any way to converse with the editor here, so am wondering if they are getting this figure from the computer or from a spreadsheet?
I have 5300 miles on mine (automatic trans) and track gas use via a spreadsheet. My driving is 80% highway and most of the time average between 70-85 mph since I have a reverse commute of 50 miles in the San Francisco Bay Area. My computer readout for the last 2100 miles is 21.1 mpg. BUT, the actual number is 19.28 mpg. On the last fillup, I got 18.41 mpg - a 12.77% error from the computer number of 21.1. I wonder if Nissan purposely designed the computer to read higher mpg figuring that most people will believe the computer and will therefore think they are getting higher gas mileage?
At least with this car, the computer and speedo are highly inaccurate.
Using a GPS device and also checking against one of those mobile road radar displays, the speedo is off anywhere between 4-11 mph at a variety of speeds. I'd like to see Edmunds do a check of their car with a GPS unit or on the dyno to see if they have the same problem.
I tried to take this up with Nissan but despite the "customer excellence" pap they spew in their ads and warranty booklet, they basically told me to get lost and that I could file a complaint with the BBB if I wasn't happy.
There doesn't seem to be any real standard of accuracy on instrumentation. Perhaps this is something else the government should look into.

Should give you a ballpark price range based on mileage.
There are no oil consumption problems with the 3.5L V6, however.
Due to having an overall dislike for this car, it was back to good ole GM products for me.......
Also, the brake lights aren't working on the car. Any idea as to what's going on? I need something "smart-sounding" to talk to the mechanic about. Thanks!
I'm on my third one. . . does any one have any idea why this happens?
thx
I have a feeling that these problems are just design problems and that is the way the car will behave until they improve the design. I use to worry about these problems but I gave up...
1) Center console doesn't close too good. To close it, instead of slamming it just push firmly on the back of it, it will close good every time.
2) The trunk has to be slammed to close. I hate this on a brand new car but seems like thats they way it is.
3) Humming noise from the Left front side. I usually getting at 90+ MPH so I dont worry anymore.
4) Reflection of the dashboard on the windshield. Annoying, specially if you Armor-All it.
5) Makes a weird noise for 2s when you start it up cold.
6) Static radio noise. The dealershep fixed this, there is a service bulletin.
as I find more stuff like this, i'll post it...
