  Never buy a Nissan. Acceleration stopped in Highway. - 2006 Nissan Altima
  By ryandbm - April 20 - 7:57 pm

  Nissan has acceleration problems. The sensor in the gas pedal can develop faults, leading to a sluggish acceleration or an outright stall regardless of how much throttle the driver dials in. If you google "nissan acceleration problem", there are 2,360,000 results show in 0.13 seconds. The year spans from 1994 to 2013 in Rouge, Altima, Sentra, Cube, Maxima, etc. although Nissan only recalled the 2004-2013 cars. I have a 2006 Nissan Altima, which showed the sudden stop in high way 4 times from 2010 to 2013. But my car is not in the recall list. Nissan and its dealers are finding all excuses to push off the responsibility. My lesson is never buy a Nissan.

  Nissan Lack Of support on Altimas - 2006 Nissan Altima
  By dchunt - March 11 - 4:30 am

  We purchased this vehicle the last of May 2006. We have since learned that this model appears to have engine problems that have resulted in 17 engine fires. Nissan has no info in their website about this problem and has not contacted me as to what action they plan to take in this matter. If i were to try and trade this vehicle for another brand I imagine my trade in value would be much less due to this problem. My question is "What and when will Nissan do any thing to rectify this situation?" I have purchased a total of 4 Nissans over the years and have always thought Nissan was a quality company that stood behind its products but their actions up to now lead me to beliece otherwise.

  For a 4 cylinder it has punch. Rides great and has good soundproofing. Very little road noise.

  Good car for the money - 2006 Nissan Altima
  By Bernard H. Gould - February 26 - 11:26 pm

  My 64-year old wife, the principal driver, at times got up to 27 miles per gallon on an interstate going to work. Thats great for a 6-cylinder, 250 hp motor while doing 70 mph over 18 miles. Pickup was also great, doing zero to 60 in around 6 seconds. She always uses premium fuel, insisting she gets better mileage from it, and that the engine not only requires it, but extends engine life. The dealer also takes good care of her, and gives her a discount oil change if she brings the car in for service after 4 p.m. Ive driven the car myself on occasion. What power! And it looks very stylish.

  Oil consumption - 2006 Nissan Altima
  By april - February 21 - 11:56 pm

  I have had my altima (2.5 special edition package) since Mar. 2006. Loved it until I started to hear engine noise with only 4,000 miles. Per Nissan, they expect 87,000 altimas to have oil consumption defect where you have to get your oil checked every 700 miles. This problem led to me having to get a new engine with 5000 miles. Thank goodness for warranty!

  3.5L SL with Nav 2005 - 2006 Nissan Altima
  By Soundviewrob - February 9 - 6:43 pm

  Great car - love the ride and the power. Distinctive styling and comfortable for 4 adults. Rear view mirror vibrates when the Bose Bass is putting out. Makes the view behind you blurry.

  Built for the Giant - 2006 Nissan Altima
  By akon - January 28 - 5:16 pm

  The car is a good value in consideration of the 250 HP V6 3.5 engine and the eterior is a good plus. However the comfort is mediocre compared to the Toyota Camry. Specifically the headrest feels specially awkward to my head. Also the lower center spoke of the drive wheel is on the way when I rest my one hand on the drive wheel during a normal drive. I wish it would have been thinner or designed differently so to have room for my one hand to have a balanced handle of the drive wheel (at the bottom center part of the drive wheel). These are two that are really a setback for me, the headrest - uncomfortable to the head, and the drive wheel having a bit too wide a spoke at the lower section

  Awesome! - 2006 Nissan Altima
  By Jmendoza - January 11 - 9:06 pm

  This is the 2nd Altima I haved purchase and there are many reason why. What you get for the price speaks for itself. Nissan offers great pricing and incentives and that was a major factor in selecting this car.
