NHTSA Complaint #10415185 — 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA

NISSAN ALTIMA 2006 MANUAL TRANSMISSION: CLUTCH LOSSES PRESSURE. I HAVE TAKEN CAR IN TO NISSAN FOR ISSUE. VEHICLE BOUGHT IN AUG 2006. APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS LATER ISSUE BEGAN. CLUTCH DROPS DOWN WHILE CAR IN MOTION. MANUALLY MOVE CLUTCH BACK UP WITH FOOT. WHEN FIRST TAKEN INTO NISSAN (WINDWARD NISSAN, HONOLULU HI) WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. CLUTCH CONTINUED WITH ISSUE VERY INTERMITTENLY. UPON ARRIVAL TO SAN DIEGO CA, I DECIDED TO TAKE TO MOSSY NISSAN (NATIONAL CITY). I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW CLUTCH. I WAS REFFERED TO NISSAN 1 FOR ASSISTANCE. NISSAN COVERED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CLUTCH. IT HAS THEN BEEN ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AND ISSUE PERSISTS. NOW CLUTCH DROPS AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER, WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND SEE IF CLUTCH COMES BACK UP. CANNOT PUT VEHICLE IN GEAR WHILE CLUTCH IS DOWN. I GOOGLED "CLUTCH ISSUES WITH NISSAN VEHICLES" AND THERE WAS A LINK TO YOUR WEBSITE. *TR
