CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2006 Nissan Altima has a trend of engine & transmission problems.
Excessive oil consumption is the main problem reported by owners. Nissan did a recall back in 2006 for oil consumption due to bad piston rings, but many owners report to us that the recall didn't fix the problem. The dealer only had to check the oil consumption rate. Typically 1 qt per 1,000 miles is "acceptable" per OEM standards ... that's a lot of oil!
The 2006 Altima also has a defect trend of CVT transmission failure showing up around the 100,000 mile mark.
It's an expensive repair at over $2,000 average repair cost. For more information see Nissan Altima CVT defect info on NissanProblems.com.

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
At around Last week of August 2012, the service Engine of the car went off, we try to diagnose it and replace the said parts that said in diagnose gadget we did it right but the service Engine Light won't stop.
I search the Problem to the Computer( Internet ) and come up that the said Problem is the same to what the issue of the recalls of the same cars of Nissan, I went to the Dealer and Complain the said Problem, But the dealer denied to fix it for free because they said the VIN is not Listed to the recalls.
Am so upset to this attitude of this Nissan Dealer in Route 37 Toms River NJ (PINE BELT), I called the Nissan North America, But they have the Same Answer, At This time I Don't have a Choice but to spend my own money to fix this problem, AND THE BIGGEST REGRET I HAVE IN MY LIFE IS WHY WE BUY A NISSAN CAR. THIS IS THE FIRST AND LAST NISSAN VEHICLE I HAVE IN MY LIFE, AND I STRONGLY ADVICE TO EVERYBODY WHO WANT TO BUY A Car PLS. THINK 100 TIMES BEFORE GETTING NISSAN VEHICLE.
