NHTSA Complaint #10394611 — 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA

FOR NO APPARENT REASON THE CLUTCH PEDAL WILL LOSE ALL RESISTANCE AND LAY ON THE FLOOR LEAVING THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE AND STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, AS EARLY AS 44K MILES AND AS RECENT AS LAST THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 2011 WITH 68K MILES. PUMPING THE CLUTCH PEDAL FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME DID RESTORE ENOUGH HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TO OPERATE THE CLUTCH AND WITHIN 2 MILES OF "IN TOWN" DRIVING THE CLUTCH PROBLEM COMPLETELY RESOLVED AS IF IT NEVER HAPPENED. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE ON THE FORUMS. FORT PIERCE NISSAN OFFICIAL ANSWER WAS " NOTHING". THEY WOULDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE IT. I'M SURE WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS FROM ALTIMA SE-R OWNERS NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE OF THE ISSUE, YET THEY WON'T STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND MAKE IT RIGHT FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS. I'VE BEEN A LOYAL NISSAN CUSTOMER SINCE 1988 BUT WITHOUT PROPER RESOLUTION, THIS WILL END THAT STREAK.
