2008 Nissan Altima Owner Comments

problem #1

Nov 272009

Altima SE 3.5L V6

  • Manual transmission
  • 20,000 miles

I have had my Altima Coupe for almost 2 yrs. now and other than faint squeaks and rattles, I love the car. Lately in the last month or more, there seems to be a "knocking" noise on the passenger side of the car. More noticeable when its cold out and/or making turns. Sounds like it could be in the headliner or trim. Almost sounds like something is loose. I know it is not the pass. seat belt banging against the trim as some have complained, and it doesn't seem to be the Glove Box either, nothing in the sunglass holder or center console either. I have partially taken the pass. side door off and the headliner, but I don't see anything that would be causing this. I have tried to bang on everything in this car to find it and have had no luck. It is driving me insane to the point of wanting to trade my car in and lose a ton of money. If you have the same problem or know what it could be, please let me know ASAP! This will be my last Nissan EVER!
