Altima SL 2.5L
I have a brand new 2008 Nissan Altima with 2,500 miles on it. My car makes a knocking / tapping noise when I step on the gas in the cold weather. I also hear a puttering noise (sounds very much like a diesel engine) when the car is idling. I have had the car at Nissan about 10 times at this point. We finally got the mechanic and service manager to admit the noise exists. They changed the heat shield on my car and made some other minor adjustments but the noise is still occurs. They told us that the noise is normal in cold weather conditions and that a fix does not exist for this particular problem. Is anyone else having a similar issue?
