    Engine And Engine Cooling

    High pitched whining noise coming out of the engine compartment. Heard very loudly in cabin of car at all times when vehicle is in motion. Most noticeable when driving under 30-35 mph on roads. Once on freeway or going faster the engine drowns out the noise. *tr

    Altima 2.5l eng. Engine vibrations/cvt shuttering started approx. 3600 miles but has continually gotten worse with more miles (7000 mi 12/31/13).

Slight acceleration under load at 1500-2000 rpm and at any speed (20-30, 40-55, 72 mph) will result in vibrations (everytime). Had nissan service writer ride with me, then he…

    The problem is with the a/c compressor staying on even though i turn the defrost off. Same if i turn auto on then off. The a/c light stays off, but the a/c compressor stays on. The only way to turn the a/c off is to press the a/c button twice (once to turn the light on, next to force the a/c to go off). If the defrost is off, auto is off and the a/c light is off, the a/c compressor must turn off. It should not be a…

    Engine And Engine Cooling

    I took possession of my new 2013 altima sv 2.5l 4 cylinder on 11/17/2012. A short time later i started hearing a rumbling, "lugging", sound coming from the engine compartment and feeling a vibration on the gas pedal and steering wheel, on light acceleration from a stop at around 1500 rpm. On 12/13/2012 i took the vehicle back to my dealer and drove around with my salesman and a senior technician, who both stated…
