Angry Problems;

Recently i hit 7,500 miles, so i consider this car new. Been having a few issues...

ISSUE LIST:
-CVT sputters at 3-4k RPMs.
-Tire light won't go off.
-Doors creak A LOT.
-Middle console (under radio) door squeaks badly.
-Steering can sometimes be difficult.
-Push button is very loose. (YAY CRAFTSMANSHIP!
-VERY poor acceleration when the CVT sputters. It feels like I'm not even accelerating; Very scary when trying to pass people.

Suggestions on anything before i go to the stealership?

I HAVE TO GO OUT OF MY WAY TO BRING THIS CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP.

This sounds like something the dealer should be able to handle, unfortunately its out of your way. I've heard of other 4th gen altima owners concerned about the fit/finish of the interior, but I haven't had any issues with mine (about 6,000 miles on it). Good luck...

Push on your door panel.. It will creak. The while you are driving, you will hear it creak again. Unless you got a good Altima.

It does creak when I push on the door panel, but not while driving. The one thing that irritated me was a small rattle that came from the little black circular thing on the driver-side dash speaker cover. I hasn't made any noise for awhile, I guess it comes and goes...

Is your push button start button loose too?

No, the push button is still tight. Where was your altima manufactured? According to the vin, mine seems to have been built in Smyrna, Tennessee.

You can reach me any time at (202) 379-4899 or kedwards@ levjen.com. Any information you can provide would be very beneficial.

Thanks,

Isn't a class action one of those suits that the lawyers make tons and the clients get checks for like $10 each? What is the danger that you have seen with the push button? I would like to see what you have found regarding safety and the push button?
