    The advertised miles per gallon on the highway is 38. I get 27 mpg on the highway. I drive almost exclusively highway miles and my mileage has never been over 27 mpg. This car is a rip off and not well made. *tr

    When you have gas in the car and slow down/stop you can hear the gas sloshing back and forth in the tank. Especially if the tank is close to full. *tr

    I purchased my nissan altima 2013 s car on 17 october 2012 with 12 miles. Approximately two days later after buying this vehicle, i began hearing a constant whining noise coming from the engine compartment at a very low speed, a drumming slapping noise when i abruptly brake, a rather disturbing metal clunking sound that seems to generate from the fuel tank and finally intermittently clicking sound from the engine…

    When coasting from a low speed (45-55) to near stop the transmission "locks up" while nowshifting. The vehicle violently locks up, so bad that it feels like you've hit something. The steering wheel is also affected to the brute force. Nissan issued a mandatory recall transmission reprogram which i promptly had done to the vehicle. However, just this friday, 5/3/13, the transmission again did this. Both times i was…

    Purchased a nissan 2013 in july of 2012 in 8/2012 the car had to have a total brake job on the front and rear brakes at 1300 miles. Nissan has yet to tell me why the car was manufactured with bad brakes and rotors and if there is an underlying issue that created the issue at 1300miles. Faulty powersteering pump causes the car to growl and make a winding noise. You can hear the fuel in the tank sloshing around in the…
