"The vball joint was loose on one side"

"Normal wear"

"premature wear"

"Rack and pinion assy leaks. Repair will be $1000 to complete. That is rather excessive"

"The power steering pump has been linking."

"High pressure hose rusted out"

"Power steering pump failed and was replaced."

"Power steering pump failed and was replaced"

"Struts had to be replace - original ones were completely worn out"

"Front struts were both bad, needed to be replaced"

"replaced top shock mounts"

"constant noise when running on bumps or rough pavement. Nissan Dealer wanted $3,000.00 to fix. Reputable mechanic under $1,000.00 which will probably fix problem."

"steering felt loose and front end bounced more than normal"

"very wide turning radius"

"Complete rack and pinion needed replacement, cost $900"

"REPLACED RACK AND PINION"

"steering u-joint semi frozen at bottom of steering shaft due to salt corrosion in joint which causes steering to become very heavy. Nissan has been aware of this problem but no recall in CA for a free fix due to the salt problem. I will not be pu"

"Caused by motor mounts. The Altima "eats" its motor mounts at about 120000 miles. Has happened with both Altimas we have owned"

"normal wear"

"front right had to be replaced"

"Replaced broken one"

"Rear wheel bearings needed replacement"

"made a noise; caused the car to veer slightly to the right. occurred all the time; don't recall when it started. was resolved by replacing the wheel bearing assembly."

"Normal wear"

"rear right wheel"

"Originally took to dealership when I noticed the problem. They quickly determined that I needed both wheels done. When asked, how it was possible both wheels could give out at the same time ...they really lied and said it was the usual case. I drove the car nearly 3years without any work, before I could convince Midas that I had a problem. Finally, as it got worse, they agreed. They correctly determined which wheel, only the right one, problem solved,and for way less money."

"The paint on the hood has been peeling off for the past few months."

"Paint on the roof and one of the door handles is fading and peeling. The areas require repainting. Arizona sun very hard on car paint unless wax is applied frequently. The paint on the car probably wasn't great, but some owner responsibility for n"

"paint is fading, clear coat peeling off"

"Paint is faded in spots on roof. Color is emerald mist, and I have seen other autos of same color with similar faded paint"

"Paint is fading and dull in a number of areas"

"Oxidation has occured on this vehicle and the only way to fully restore is a new paint job. The paint job on this Nissan is weak. However, the vehicle is almost 10 years old and has not been garaged"

"The roof is fading. The engine compartment hood is fading and chipped."

"needs repainting"

"All Nissan Altimas of this generation have a problem with rust on the floor boards. Both sides of the front floor boards rust out and Nissan will do nothing to fix this. I had to replace my drivers side at 90,000 miles and now the passengers side is rusted through"

"both front floorboards rusted through"

"rust bubbles forming around wheel wells"

"The floor boards are completely rusted out and there is rust developing in both rear quarter panels"

"Floor pan rusted out. Expensive repair negotiated to $1200. Did some research and found this is a known problem by Nissan. They even have a repair kit for it! But they would not stand behind the vehicle. I will never buy a Nissan again. I've had defects turn up on Hondas and Saab (years ago) and they've always made good on their products"

"The bottom of the frame - under the driver and passenger floor boards completely rusted out. Water would come through the floor in bad storms and when it snowed"

"The floorboard on the driver side completely rusted through. You could see the carpet from the bottom of the car. I was not aware of this until a mechanic pointed it out to me. Nissan did not consider this well known defect a serious problem, and although this was a documented issue with the 2006 Nissan Altima, Nissan refused to do a recall or provide repairs. In my opinion, this could have led to a serious problem, for example, in a front end crash, the compromised integrity of the floorboard could have caused serious injury. It cost me nearly $1,000 to get the floorboard properly repaired. As a result of the indifference Nissan showed regarding this documented problem, I would never purchase another Nissan product, which is unfortunate, because I purchased the car new in 2006 and was otherwise very happy and satisfied with it (despite the recall on the car that occurred a week or two after I bought it)."

"Under carriage rusts through and the fix is expensive"

"Floor panels on driver and passenger side rusted through. Body shop cut out rusted areas, welded in new panels and undercoated. Tied up 3 days and $300"

"Have been told by dealer that the oil pan is rusted & needs replacing. Was told last Aug that the front floorboards are rusted out & must be repaired or won't pass the next inspection"

"This Altima has experienced rust in the floorboard, 1 one location thus far, resulting in a 4" radius hole. From the exterior of the car, one can push on the floorboard lining inside the cabin"

"FRONT SEAT FLOOR PANELS RUSTED THROUGH, BOTH SIDES. CONSIDERED A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. SHEET METAL REPAIR REQUIRED"

"Floor rusted out in front - both sides."

"2016. The drivers side floorboard underneath rusted out leaving a sizeable hole that cost me $1100.00 to get repaired. Nissan refused to compensate me."

"The floor boards are rusting out on the car. This is a known problem on this year Nissan that Nissan will do nothing about. Also the heat is very weak in the car. Another known problem that Nissan will do nothing about."

"The floor boards in the car, driver and passenger, rusted out."

"rust front end, door pillars, rust trunk"

"undercarriage rusted made it hard to work with because rusted parts fall apart and parts are hard to separate .costing more money for repairs"

"Lost my braking ability during cold weather. Pedal was hard to depress"

"Brakes were squealing"

"Brakes and rotors wore due to normal wear conditions requiring replacement"

"Replacement of rear brake calipers and resurface rotors at approx. 85,000 miles. Cost seemed excessive"

"Stopping / Breaking took more effort to bring car to a stop"

"Nothing out of the ordinary. Routine, expected problems. That's why I bought this one used"

"Car was 8 years old when brakes needed replacing. Normal wear & tear"

"Actually could have gone awhile longer, but had them replaced because it was cheaper to have them replaced when had the rotors replaced."

"Rear brake pads/rotors repaired at Midas but they failed to set/adjust the parking brake. This led to a minor fender bender when the parking brake was supposedly fully engaged but the car rolled backwards into another car"

"Rear brakes need replacing more frequently than they should. Also, another issue was the engine mounts were broken and needed to be replaced"

"They need to be replaced quite often. The replacements Nissan uses are super squeaky. You need to buy expensive parts from outside dealers to make it stop"

"Brakes needed replacing quite often"

"After two sets of front wheel rotors were installed by a independent repair shop which lasted only 3-4 months before they started pulsing, I took the car to a Nissan dealer who installed factory rotors on the front. It's been a year and I've had no further problems."

"Rotors were worn through normal wear requiring replacement"

"Had to replace rear rotors and pads. I was under the impression that the brakes would start squealing as they wore out but before they damaged the rotors. Apparently I was wrong or my wife didn't notice the noise until too late"

"I went through two sets of after-market front rotors. Both pair warped within 3-5 months after installation. I now had genuine Nissan rotors installed by a dealer. So far, so good, but they are only 2 months old. Prior to all of this, my original rotors lasted years."

"squeaking brakes with increasing noise"
