NHTSA Complaint #10339565 — 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA

I PURCHASED MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA SE-R AROUND 4/18/2008 WITH AROUND 34,000 MILES. A FEW DAYS LATER, I NOTICED THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS STICKING DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND WOULDN'T COME BACK UP. BEFORE I COULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, THE CAR CLUTCH GAVE UP ON ME AND HAD TO GET IT TOW TO THE DEALER. DEALER THEN REPLACE THE CLUTCH ($1000) AFTER A FEW DAYS, THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS STILL STICKING TO THE FLOOR, SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER. DEALER HAD THE CAR FOR A FEW HOURS AND THEN CALLED ME TO SAY IT WAS DONE (FIX) AFTER THAT, THE CAR WAS FINE FOR A WHILE. A MONTH AGO, AROUND 5/15/2010, CLUTCH PEDAL STARTED TO STICK TO THE FLOOR AGAIN AND WOULDN'T COME UP. I CALLED A MECHANIC AND HE EXPLAINED TO ME OVER THE PHONE THAT MOST LIKELY IT'S THE MASTER CYLINDER OR SLAVE THAT WENT OUT AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT. PER THIS LINK ---> HTTP://WWW.NISSANFORUMS.COM/ALTIMA-SE-R/112659-CLUTCH-MASTER-CYLINDER-TROUBLE.HTML TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND THE NISSAN DEALERS ARE PRETTY MUCH SAYING THAT THERE'S NOTHING IT CAN BE DONE, AND ON MY OPINION, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIX. NISSAN (MECHANICS) SHOULD KNOW THEIR CARS AND BE ABLE TO HAVE GOOD JUDGMENT AND SAY IF SOMETHING NEEDS ATTENTION INSTEAD OF TELLING US (CUSTOMERS) EVERYTHING IS FINE, WHEN IS NOT. *TR
