2. The Altimas in that year group do have a oil seepage problem. Can't be 100% positive that is your problem. I drilled the hole in mine. Had it cleaned up, you may need new parts if they are oily. No more problems.
3. Just because the dealer says the computer says you need a part doesn't make it so. I.E. your computer. I had an 87 Reliant that was hesitating. Dealer said the computer found 3 bad parts. $200 each and no guaranty it will solve he problem. But, had to start there. I said NO, took it to a recommended GOOD mechanic. He found the problem in ten minutes, no diagnostics. $80 and no more problem.
4. In my case the car just shut off, that's why I said I can't be 100% sure it is your problem. Do some research and find a very reputable private mechanic.
Good Luck,
Ken
I have never heard any complaints about the brakes before. If they are indeed oversensitive, something may be improperly installed. Get them checked by a mechanic.
But the problem is when I put it in D mode and press the petrol peddle, the pickup is not at enough speed, e.g. I am waiting in the Signal Lights and the light is Green all the vehicles goes speed but i am the last one start move slowely.
The Gear is OK, the Oil is Full and in OK condition but i don't know why pickup very slowely.
is it possible that the gear filter not clean enough or any thing wrong with the transmission.
It needs to be checked by a transmission shop or dealer.
Good Luck,

There is a service bulletin that you can find in this edmunds.
Anyway, my car runs fine, in that area, even though I would hear rattling from time to time.
Disassembly
1. Turn the mirror glass surface upward.
2. Apply a protective tape (A) to mirror housing. Insert a suitable
tool (B) into the concave gap between the mirror holder (1) and
mirror motor (2) Push up tabs (3) (two locations) on the mirror
holder to disengage the lower part of mirror holder, and remove
the mirror body assembly.
NOTE:
When pushing up tabs (3), do not forcefully push up only one
concave position but try to push up two concave positions.
3. Remove the mirror body (1) from the mirror housing assembly
(2).
4. Disconnect the two terminals from the mirror heater connector.
5. Remove the screws and power unit from the housing.
Assembly
1. Install the mirror motor.
2. Install the mirror cover.
3. Place mirror holder bracket and mirror body assembly (actuator) in a horizontal position.
4. Connect two terminals on the heater installed mirror.
5. Engage the upper tabs on the mirror body (1) onto the mirror
motor (2) Then press the lower side of mirror face until a click
sound is heard to engage the lower tabs.
NOTE:
After installation, visually make sure lower two tabs are securely
engaged from the bottom of mirror face.
Make sure to insert the harness terminals into the correct connector.
Do not confuse the locations.
I think that I'm going to go with the BFG Traction TA. They're 91 a pice at BJs and I know a few people with them that are pleased. I always had good luch with BFGs. I love the Michelins that I put on my wife's Pathfinder but the Alt doesn't get driven enough to justify that extra expense. I'm hoping that BJs will have that coupon in the next couple of weeks

i have a 2008 Altima (sedan), last nite when i went out for dinner, left the lights on and after an hr and a half came back the car would not start. Called AAA and they jumpstarted the car. But interestingly the radio panel (radio, cd etc) does not turn on at all. Do you think something shorted or do i have to run the car longer (already ran it for 20 mins last nite and about 35 mins this morning). I want to see if there is something else that can be done before i take it to a Nissan Dealer.
has any one experienced this?
pls help
i think highly unlikely!
unless you have to deal with emmisions. inspections. where I live (VA) they will automatically fail a car with a check engine light on.
"Battery saver system
If the ignition switch is turned OFF while the
headlight switch is in the on position,
the headlights will turn off after 5 minutes.
what your talking about is the autolight system on the sl models which allows you to set the lights to go off after a set time period. or come on when it gets dark. there are probably a couple other things it can do.
but what I'm taking about is a standard feature on all altima's.
Sorry about the error on my above post. I believe it was the air bypass valve. It was many years ago and I can't find the receipt. Not sure if all vehicles have that item, or maybe by a different name.

I had replaced both sensors before the recall to reprogram the computer was put in place....nissan refused to refund me for replacing the sensors even though if I would have not had the computer error, i would not have had to replace the sensors and risk my and my childrens' lives when the car died while merging onto the hwy. Can you tell I'm pissed.
Anyway, get that done and you should be ok.
Good luck!

Any advice from knowledgeable gentlemen and ladies....please?~!?

I posted this earlier on the TSB menu.
Not sure if that was correct so I'll post it her also.
My wife leased a 2007 nissan altima. We have not had it more than 9 months and it has been in the shop 8 times for the same reason. The car was dead this morning.
She sets the auto headlight feature on the car. The last time she took it in they said they replaced the, "light sensor unit", and the problem would stop. Wrong.
The car I believe has 7,000 miles on it (oil was changed 2 weeks ago). She wants to return it as a "LEMON".
She kept all documentation regarding this problem and the issue.
Does anyone out there have any knowledge of this problem with the 2007 Altima?
Also, does she have a case with the "LEMON" situation of the car.
My wife explaind to me she had received last week a recall on a "on board emission computer problem". Guess it senses a problem with the catalytic converter and a light will go on (she has an Official Nissan recall letter). When talking to the dealership this morning they first had no knowledge of this recall and was also told that this may contribute to the problem she is experiencing.
They told her to tow the car to the dealership.
Need your guys help...
Is that the issue that you need to have it fixed 8 times?
If it's, I just don't think you can classify that as a lemon. I would just turn off myself to avoid the issue, just IMO.
My wife also heard thsi noise. I haven't noticed it, but I've probably used to it form the '04 Accord I had.
