2013 NISSAN ALTIMA Engine Problems

MY VEHICLE WHICH APPEARS TO HAVE MULTIPLE DEFECTS IS NOW HESITATING ON START UP AND HAS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. WHEN I PRESS THE ENGINE BUTTON, THE CAR JUST KEEPS CRANKING AND SOMETIMES, BARELY OR STRUGGLING TO START. EVERY NOW AND THEN, I NOTICED THAT THERE'S ALSO A SINGLE CLICKING SOUND WHICH SEEMS TO COME FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND A DRUMMING/SLAPPING NOISE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE MAKES TO MANY DISTURBING NOISES THAT NISSAN FOR SOME REASON CAN'T SEEM TO IDENTIFY OTHER THAN THE SOUNDS BEING NORMAL. *TR

WHEN STARTING THE CAR THE STARTER WOULD KEEP CRANKING AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE START BUTTON, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON SOMETIMES EVEN WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT ALSO THE REAR SEAT BELTS ARE VERY HARD TO LOCK IN DO TO THE RECEIVER END PUSHES DOWN INTO THE SEAT WHEN DRIVING THERE IS A FEW PROBLEMS THE LOW END RATTLES AND SHAKES AND 45 AND ABOVE THERE IS A WINING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT THAT SOUNDS LIKE A BAD ALT BEARING OR TRANS PROBLEM IT GETS LOUDER THE FASTER YOU GO VERY ANNOYING WITH TODAY TECHNOLOGY THESE PROBLEMS AND THIS IS JUST A FEW IS A BIG STEP BACK FOR NISSAN NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER JUST BROKE 6000 MILES. *TR

CVT TRANSMISSION SHUTTER, WHILE DRIVING FROM STOP TO GO, CAR FELT IT WAS GOING TO STALL, LIKE WHEN TURNING LEFT IN TRAFFIC. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 S IN JULY OF 2012 WITH 349 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS AND HAVE RETURNED THE VEHICLE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FOR REPAIR AND HAVE YET TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. IN THE MEAN TIME THEY ARE ONLY GETTING WORSE. THE FIRST PROBLEM OCCURRED 2 WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED IT. I GOT IN MY CAR AND APPLIED THE BRAKE AND PUSHED THE BUTTON TO START THE CAR AND THE CAR HESITATED, IT WAS ALMOST LIKE THE STARTER HAD HUNG UP. I WASN'T TOO WORRIED AT FIRST AND FIGURE IT WAS JUST A ONE TIME FLUKE, BUT IT WASN'T. NEARLY FIVE DAYS LATER IT OCCURRED AGAIN AND ATLEAST ONE OR TWICE A WEEK THERE AFTER. AFTER 4 WEEKS AND IT HAVING DONE IT ABOUT 4 TIMES BY THEN I MADE AND APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT SERVICE AND A FEW DAYS...

PURCHASED BRAND NEW WITH 2 MILES. AT 4500 MILES, HEAT GAUGE INDICATED AN INCREASE IN ENGINE TEMPERATURE. DROVE 2 MILES TO A SERVICE STATION, AND UPON OPENING THE HOOD, ANTI-FREEZE WAS SPRAYED EVERYWHERE. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER INSPECTED, AND SAID THE RADIATOR HAD LEAKED, SO THE DEALER REPLACED THE RADIATOR. AFTER REPLACEMENT, THE DEALER PERFORMED A TEST DRIVE, WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER PERFORMED PRESSURE TESTS, AND SAID THE ENGINE WOULD NEED REPLACEMENT. *TR

ON AUG. 10TH WE RECD AN EMAIL FROM THE EMPIRE NISSAN FLEET MNGR [XXX]. HE STATED THAT THEY NEEDED TO HAVE THE CAR BACK AND WOULD PAY OUR FIRST MTH PYMT AND GIVE US A REPLACEMENT CAR OF LIKE KIND AND QUALITY. THEY WOULD NOT TELL US WHY THE VEH NEEDED TO BE RETURNED. WE NOTIFIED CORP NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPT AND THEY CONTACTED EMPIRE NISSAN. THEY FINALLY ADVISE THAT THE REASON THEY NEED THE VEH BACK WAS BECAUSE THERE WAS AN OPEN CAMPAIGN ON IT WITH A SINGLE RECALL. WE AGREED TO RETURN IT FOR THE REPAIR. WE TOOK THE VEH BACK TO NISSAN AND LATER ON THAT DAY, WE WERE NOTIFIED THERE WERE 10 RECALLS FOUND ON THE VEH! AT THIS POINT WE REALIZED THAT WAS WHY THEY WANTED TO SWAP THE VEH. THEY AGREED TO GIVE US A RENTAL CAR DURING REPAIRS. WE PICKED UP THE VEH...

I BOUGHT A NEW 2013 ALTIMA 2.5 SL ON 7/26/12, WITH 104 MILES ON IT SINCE IT WAS DELIVERED FROM ANOTHER DEALER. ON 7/29/12 A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE OWNER'S MANUAL SAID THAT POSSIBLY THE GAS CAP WAS NOT TIGHT. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. MANUAL SAID THAT IF THE LIGHT WAS NOT FLASHING, THEN IT WOULD CLEAR AFTER A FEW TRIPS. IT DID NOT CLEAR, SO I DROVE 25 MILES TO DEALER 8/3/12 FOR THEM TO TEST. THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND WOULD BE REPLACED THE NEXT DAY. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED AND SAID THAT WHEN THEY REMOVED THE CONVERTER THAT ITS CONTENTS SPILLED ON THE SHOP FLOOR; AND THAT THEIR CONTACTS WITH NISSAN WAS THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED ON OTHERS AND THUS THE ENGINE HAD BEEN RUINED AND THAT NISSAN WOULD REPLACE THE ENGINE. I STATED THAT I DID...
