Nissan Altima Steering Safety Report | Nov 27, 2013
Reported on Nov 27, 2013
| THERE IS A LOUD WHINING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD, DIRECTLY BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT. THE NOISE BECAME LOUDER WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED SLIGHTLY IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE NOISE CAME INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WERE ABLE TO FIX THE WHINING NOISE COMING INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. HOWEVER; ALL 2013 ALTIMAS MAKE THIS NOISE UNDER THE HOOD. THE SOURCE CAN EASILY BE IDENTIFIED BY POPPING THE HOOD AND LOOKING BEHIND A SMALL PIECE OF SOUND ABSORBING MATERIAL (WHICH OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T WORK). HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE NEW ELECTRIC STEERING AND ALL ALTIMAS MAKE THIS ANNOYING SOUND. *TR | |
