Had to have new brakes and rotors before 35,000, driver window fixed came off track, new grill and rims replaced due to peeling, 2 new hood latches, new strut (popping in front), alternator replaced, passenger airbag replaced, heated steering wheel recall and replaced,recently quit while driving and left me STRANDED and has been missing. Gas mileage sucks, average 24-25 highway and city. Shifter is worn, driver seat worn after 25,000 miles. Seat belt light stays on even when buckled up. Heated seat button in BAD LOCATION, always turning on when you sit something down on console. Fob multiple batteries..(Total of 5 recalls, working on the 6th possibly since broke down this week) I work home health and have for 10 year, and have never been so DISAPPOINTED in a car and so DISGUSTED. I have wasted so much of my time taking it to the garage, and then having to take it back because they can't figure out whats wrong with it. Kinda sad you pay for a nice car and get a LEMON. Please do not buy and waist your money and or time! Update 1/4/17- update forgot to add... had new transmission placed ! And 3rd hood latch! and week last week had the 3rd engine oil cooler that has been put on my 2013 Nissan. Have requested Nissan buy back the lemon they created ! To be continued...

Break pedal

Has anyone else had an issue with their break pedal make squeaky noise. Im not talking about when its time to change break pads. This noise is coming from the bottom of the car when I apply the breaks. When I put the car in park, the car will rock back and forth(like all cars) just a tad, then rhe noise goes along with the rocking. Its very annoying. I wish I never seen this car, but i fell in love with it. When it idles for about twenty mins, say im sitting in it with it on, then i put it in reverse to leave a parking spot it dies on me. It starts back up though. Cant wait to trade it or sell it.

Sexy Nissan Altima coupe

Love this car! Very reliable, never had issues. The car rides great! Accelerates beautifully and handles very well. Not convenient for car seats and it gets kind of annoying having to move the seat constantly but it is very confortable!

Really Like My Car So Far

Bought my car July 2013. So far I really like it, but a few issues to note: 1) Gas milage isn't what was advertised, especially since the weather turned cold in Nov. 2) When coasting in traffic at 20 mph, I sometimes get a significant shaking when I step on the accelerator. Sometimes the shaking is strong enough that it's embarrassing. It doesn't happen very often though 3) The "premium" sound system sucks. It sounds like something I would expect from a Toyota Corolla. It's very disappointing, espeically since it's supposed to be an upgraded system.
