Keep being a pain in the a%% with them. My Altima got 23.5mpg today driving around town with a/c on full blast, about 23000 miles. Obviously there is something wrong with yours. Make a case with Nissan Consumer Affairs. Could the rattle have something to do with the timing chain? Mine actually did have a recall for an issue with the heat shield and the dealer's work fixed it.

issues so far with my wives' 07 , break assembly switch failed ( car would not register push on break pedal and start) , heat shiled feel off ! , key recall and intake filter recall. It has been a pain but a treat to drive , you are really getting ----ty gas mileage though , might want to get a compression test ( about $150) and go from there . It basically gives you a quick look at your engines' health.
