Final straw has put me over the edge. I've put up my altima for sale and hope it goes quick. I'm going to the accord coupe or another coupe in the same class. I took it in because it was making noise and th edealer told me my exhuast pipe welds broke!! Then, he told me that my clutch making a ton of noise was 'normal'. I'm not driving around with a creaky cluth and grinding. Even worse.. the part is on back order for 2 motnhs for the exhuast. A speaker is busted so they're fixing that too. After 2 heatshields.. 2 clutch pedals.. 1 exhuast.. 1 speaker.. and a new glove box.. i think enough is enough. I should enjoy the car.. not dread getting in it to hear the new creak or rattle.. since the car is a manual trans.. the dealer told me there's a huge mark up since its got a huge waiting list and if i sell it private party i won't lose anything and maybe make a little bit.. i talked to my dad and he agreed. enough is enough. if i find a car i can buy in the same price range and can get rid of this thing..

You ever think that you got a lemon?

Hopefully you choose something a little nicer looking than the Accord Coupe.

Sorry my freind. Yup.. still short of cash but i explained to my dad the whole situation and he's helpin me out. Also.. the dealer told me that since its a 6 speed i wont lose much bc of the long wait for manual trans. I'll explain the situation to whoever buys since tehy deserve to know.

It's a shame. Good luck with your next purchase.

Seriously, I think Manufacture's need to put more effort on Quality Control!!!

I'm too busy to get my dealer to look at our Power Seats Shifting and the Passenger Belt.
