message: Altima is not assembled in Japan, although Teana is.  Altima is assembled in US only right now.   Dnowakoh (talk) 13:47, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fourth Generation Altima 

message: It seems as if the page has a significant bias with respect to the 2007 Nissan Altima. Breaks NPOV.

thread_title:  Price 

message: Is the name "Altima" a mis-romanisation of "Ultima"?  I've seen it in a few other Japanese->English translations, mostly in video games (Final Fantasy Tactics being the most notable)

thread_title:  Altima/Ultima 

message: Each model of Altima was subject to several service bulletins, like nearly every production passenger vehicle sold in the United States or Europe.  Why is this one being singled out, and what does "Nissan is not responsible" mean?  Seems like this comment belongs on an enthusiast blog and not Wikipedia:  "Thousands of Altima 2002 had excessive Oil consumption caused by bad pre-cat design. [7][8]. Nissan is not responsible for that obvious problem." 71.236.138.117 (talk) 07:10, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Although I appreciate the reference link the person added to CarComplaints.com, I agree that section is inappropriate. Personally I think it's worth mentioning the oil consumption problem since it's well-documented, but IMO it's not correct to state "thousands" or mention what caused the oil consumption problem without a specific reference (and the forum is fairly terrible reference for that). It's safe to delete the part about "Nissan is not responsible...", I think. That's just loony. Carcomplaints (talk) 23:11, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I went ahead & changed that section around. Also added the PDF reference to the relevant TSB. Carcomplaints (talk) 14:32, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Axe to grind? 

message: I propose the rambling section on "Serious safety recall issues" found in the 1st. Generation section be deleted. Any comments? It seems more suited for a safety website or service bulletin, not an encyclopedia article. Moreover, it appears to have been copy/pasted from another website.

replies: text: I agree 100%. Someone also changed the year range for affected vehicles to 1995-2008 which is not accurate. That edit, & the bold/caps text is essentially anti-Altima vandalism, in my opinion. Moving the recall to its own section was probably a well-intentioned edit based on the incorrect information in that section. If anything, I think a very brief mention of the airbag defect deserves to stay in the First Generation paragraph, because it did receive national media attention & was not just a standard recall campaign.

replies: text: Someone else took care of removing the recall section: 04:15, 7 September 2009 189.134.36.205 (talk) (25,591 bytes) (undo) (Tag: section blanking) Carcomplaints (talk) 14:34, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I get the feeling whoever is posting (vandalizing) this recall stuff works for a Nissan competitor or something. It seems like an attempt to scare potential consumers away from considering the Altima. Again, there are repetitive and opinionated assertions of the Altima's recall history, expressed in poorly-written, incomplete sentences. I have attempted to edit material provided in a more cohesive manner. I flat out deleted the unsubstantiated jabs that were tacked on here and there, and removed rambling lists and references to other Nissan products. The sources used by the original editor have been preserved, though some are rather dubious.

thread_title:  1st gen. Safety Recall 

message: I think I the recalls in the bottom of the first generation section and below the third generation look messy. I also think I doesn't show neutral point of view. --Kat99999123 (talk) 02:15, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I deleted the section on SRS Air Bag issues. It was the remains of some quasi-vandalism of the article whereby a user appeared to have copy/pasted a bunch of statistics and added their own poorly written, non-neutral commentary. Moreover, there were not sources cited for any of the information. I am not disputing that there was an issue with 1st-gen air bags, but the section was not up to Wikipedia standards, and cited zero sources. (76.218.95.34 (talk) 06:45, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recall sections look messy 

message: The 2013 Nissan Altima was officially revealed at the 2012 New York Auto Show (April 4, 2012). Just wondering if anyone out there would want to start updating the 5th generation section of the article. Barkeep2009 (talk) 23:28, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Per WP:CARPIX image standards, we use the best-quality available photo, regardless of which is the most recent. The top infobox covers the entire range of the model. IFCAR (talk) 05:14, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  5th Generation Nissan Altima 

message: Uh, no.
You can scroll a little bit and see the size specs on the same screen on a PC. The Third gen is roughly 7 inches longer, 1.5 inches wider and 2 inches taller than the Second Generation Altima.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonathonbarton (talk • contribs) 05:50, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
