hey everybody im new here i bought a new altima since a mpnth but i have some problems ( dealership cosidered them normal !!)

the car is stadard altima 2.5 manual transmission

the problems:

1- shifting through gears ( up and downshifting) is not smooth?!the lever doesnt fit easy into gears though the clutch pedal is fully depressed

2 there is a nosiy sound comes from the ac ( compressor ) like krrrrrrrrrrrand doesnt go at all ?

3 the engine is kinna nosiy?the sound of it is very loud , sound like a diesel engine

4 there is vibration in the car especially the steering wheel and increases by operating the ac

5 somtimes the headlight switch on for 3 sec then turns off?!?!?!( not auto sensor in my car its standard!)

6 if its night the ac light switches off and the headlight flashes and after 3 sec the ac light ( interior light ie dash ) the ac light works normally with another flashing of the headlight.

plz if anyone cud tell weather these problems are normal and has faced any of em or i have bought the most unlucky car ???

1. it's a CVT transmission.... shifting won't seem smooth at first, especially if you are coming from a regular automatic transmission..

2. not sure about the AC noise.. but the engine fan remains on the whole time the AC is on, which is normal. that may be what you are talking about.

3. engine sounds like that normally when car is cold.... when it warms up it should be less loud/quieter... if you think it's abnormal, take it to dealer, you should have warranty for 3 years/36000 mi

4. not sure about the vibration... but does it happen all the time or when car is only cold?

5. not sure what you are talking about?

6. again not sure what you mean?

Honetly, that is too many things. Take it back to the dealer. Its still warrantied, so bring them the list of problems to diagnose
