hey guys i just bought a 2006 altima s 2.5 special edition. i was wondering if theres anything that i need to look out for as far as probs and issues everyone has. its still under warranty and currently has 58k miles on it. so i figure if there are any issues with it that i dont know about i could go ahead and get fixed with my warranty? also i dont know if all trannys do this but sometimes it feels like my transmission is slipping kinda of like a clutch is going out but its an automatic. it doesnt do it all the time and seems to be only when i get between 45-55 but ive never driven an altima before so im not sure if this is normal. Thanks in advance! o and im thinking of getting a grill but i was wanting an active tuning grill but who knows when those will be sold again. looks like i missed out on those.

I'm going to put my money on the "slipping" just being the CVT next time your on the highway slowly press the gas pedal down and you'll notice that it "retards" the timing making the rpms go up a bit. It does this first to prevent from constantly down shifting you can really notice it while going up a hill. but if that's not it then i have no idea you'll have to record it doing it or describe it more in depth

My 06 had a problem with the driver side window. When u did the auto up it would hit the top and then go back down.
