Well the first thing to go was the gas release switch, completly broke off and had to open gas door by popping trunk. Warrenty covered problem. 2nd problem, when i make right turns, i hear a click or thump which seems to be comming from drivers side tire. 3rd problem, when i press and release clutch, it squeaks. Very annoying. 4th prob, my shift boot is starting to rip and get holes all around the edge of the plastic. 5th prob, windows fogging up on the inside, on real cold mornings, it FREEZES and last but not least...this fire recall will be my SECOND recall since Feb,02 when i bought this car. I have had this car for a little over a year and cant believe the problems associated with this car. $19,000 down the drain. Nissan should just retire the altima.
I'm not blaming you by any means, but...here goes...
1. We all know that the quality of the plastic is not very good. You probably pulled the gas door release switch too hard. Again, I'm just saying, not blaming you.
2. I hear the same popping noise every so often. But I don't hear it all the time.
3. A little grease will fix your squeak.
4. Most 5 speeders have had this problem. Warranty covers it. Again, the interior quality isn't the best.
5. I think there may be a TSB for this, not really sure...but other Altima owners have complained about this in the past.
Last but not least, it sucks to have a brand new car with all those problems. Lucky for me I've had zero problems.

Does the warranty really cover the 4th issue - shift boot starting to rip? im having the same problem with mine.
Yes it does. The first 36k miles are bumper to bumper, meaning everything...
YES like top post...it covers the shift boot...and my cup holder door came off too..the hinge broke and they replaced that too...HOWEVER MY WARRENTY IS OVER

I had all those problems too, but the thump makes me think I am going crazy. I hate this car. Any rattling sounds in the trunk or back area?
