Re: 2007 Altima Electrical/Battery problems [craymond1976]

Nissan replaced the battery twice - but of course, that wasn't the problem. I went somewhere else, and was told the problem wasn't the battery, that there was something drawing off it. Is there a problem with the software, where ... Read More

Newer CVT
Just keep in mind, that the majority of the CVT issues are with the 1st Gen CVT from 2003-2007 model year Nissan's. This was Nissan's first mass market technology CVT and there were bound to be problems with it, as with any new technology an auto manufacturer tries. The 1st Gen Murano is particularly affected with CVT troubles. Now, I'm not sure when the updated/more refined 2nd Gen CVT made its ... Read More

Re: Nissan Altima 2009 Coupe vs Infiniti G37 2008 vs BMW 335i 2007 [ag82]
I'd go with the Infiniti. Excellent repair record and that engine is just a bored 3.5 which Nissan has used for years. The car was not redesigned or anything that year to any great extent so it's nothing like buying a completely new redesign or new powertrain. Resale value is good and is a lot more luxurious than the Altima. Powertrain is warranteed for 6yrs/70k I believe.

Re: 2007 Nissan Altima catches fire while driving [don1958]
Allstate Insurance claim adjuster told me that this is her 3rd claim for 2007 Nissan Altima fires in the last 3 weeks. That's BS. 3 claims in 3 weeks w/ one adjuster = 365 Altimas in a year. The number should be even a lot higher b/c there're many claim adjusters w/ Allstate. 365 x top 10 insurance companies = 3650 Altimas per year.

Re: 2007 Altima brake problems... [bluealtima08]
Nissan knows there is a problem. They will change your brakes because they know that the problem exists. That is why they issued a service bulletin. You should call the 800 number not the dealer. You will get faster resolution. The dealer does not have you best interest at heart. They are just making cheap repairs until you are out of warranty.

Re: 2007 Altima transmission replaced [electricdesign]
Following-up with post 370. THANKS BE TO GOD. He deserves the glory. I prayed and God answered. With the 2007 altima transmission, they replaced it with NO CHARGE. They did not openly tell me that it was a manufactured defect. However, I agreed to pay half the cost because I needed my car fixed. After speaking with consumer care which denied the claim, I spoke personally with the service manager at ... Read More

Never again will I buy a Nissan! My car's problems- a warning for others...
I have a 2002 Altima 3.5 V6 that I bought used with 84k miles on it in Jan 2007. I was the 3rd owner and this car had everything I wanted so I was excited thinking I was buying a reliable brand...WRONG! I thought maybe the person that had it before me ran it too hard but I've been reading the reports and maybe that's not the case and I'm afraid ... Read More

Re: 2009 Nissan Altima Caught Fire [mariah777]
this is the first I've heard of it. heck, even the 2007 didn't really have an issue with fires. only one or two had actullay caught fire, and it was because of the air filter getting ignited by something hot (cig butt or something similar) that got sucked in.

2009 Nissan Altima Caught Fire
My 2009 Nissan Altima caught fire while I was driving it. Luckily everyone got out safely. I do not have gap insurance either. Nissan is reviewing our case. I am having a hard time as to why a brand new car would catch fire while driving. I know there were recalls on 2007/2008 but I thought the problem would have been fixed. Anyone know of this happening to any other 2009's? ... Read More

NAH vs. TCH
I currently have a 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid that I bought in late September 2006, just in time for the full ($2,600) Federal tax credit. It is a great car. In the summer I average about 37-38mpg and in the winter about 32mpg. It is incredibly quiet and roomy although, like all Toyotas, I would not exactly call it sporty. The problem is, after nearly three years and 50,000 miles, I ... Read More

Going from a TL to a TSX
Has anyone gone from a TL to a TSX? I have owned 3 Tls ('00, '04 & currently '07). I am thinking of leasing the 2009 TSX with the tech package. I don't like the look of the new TL but the 2009 TSX reminds me of my current TL. On the test drive, it seems to be fine, maybe even a bit more peppy than the TL and lower speeds. ... Read More

Re: Searching for '08 Leftovers, financing? [lotuspeddler]
I am still debating. I really don't want to get the technology package but I may have to in order to get fog lights.

Re: Predictions [deltheking]
Yes,ESC is standard only on V6 altimas. Wow... you really need to research this a little more. ESC is an option on V6 Altima models. Unfortunately, something has to be optional. It's not standard. The Camry's 4-cyl (2.4L 158HP) is considered above average for reliability, while the 3.5L V6 was considered below average in 2007 and 2008. The 6-speed Automatic has had lots of problems in the last several years. Therefore, ... Read More

my 2008 Nissan caught on fire...
In Aug of 2007, I bought a brand new 2008 nissan altima. In november of 2008, it started smoking out the exhaust, i immediately called the service center and told them about it, they pushed it off.

Re: 2007 Altima transmission replaced [implementall]

DO NOT - DO NOT purchase the Alitma. The tranny can only be service by Nissan - other mechanics do not want to touch it.

In short, the best way to get a good deal on your leased vehicle is to negotiate as low a selling price as possible on it and then have ... Read More

Re: Article Comments - Mazda 6 vs. Honda Accord vs. Nissan Altima [KarenS]
I wanted to comment on some of the earlier comments inferring that the authors of the comparison chose the Mazda because they are obviously sports car oriented, and therefore the Honda would be the choice for many people interested in other attributes. I have to confess that I have a 2007 MazdaSpeed6 so I most certainly do trend towards the sporty side. That said, I think you can make a very ... Read More

Re: 2007 Nissan Altima vs 2007 Camry [wwest]
With a powerful FWD you have only two choices, "numb" stearing or torque stearing that will yank the stearing wheel from your grasp. Or, you can buy an Altima/Maxima which can be equipped with either a 270HP or 290HP V6, and feel no torque steer at all. However, the steering wheel is still fully responsive and gives you plenty of road feel as well. That's another option. ;)

The revised 2010 Camry (due in early 2009) will feature the 2.5L I4 engine that is currently in the 2009 RAV4. It produces 179hp in that application. That's only in the SE model. The I4 LE will only produce 169hp. However, I'm interested in what Toyota will bring to the table with the introduction of this new engine. I may have to test drive one of these when they hit the ...
