My trouble began as i sat and fueled my car with the same type of gas that i have been using for years. i filled my tank, started my car and it started huffing and puffing as if it was about to shut off. after a few minutes it stopped. a few days later while i was driving down the road one day i heard this loud rattling noise as if a chain or something was dragging the ground or being rattled. i approached a red light and lowered my radio to listen and as i sat idle in drive i could hear this rattling noise coming from the front end of my car. as i drove down the road further it continued then stopped. i then parked my car and as i was in reverse the sound came back. i went on about my day and returned to my car to start it up and as i started it i heard the rattling loud noise again. i backed out of my parking spot and it continued. as i driving around at a speed of about 30-40 i could hear the noise come and go. i took my car to nissan and they told me they couldn't find anything wrong. they told me everything under the hood of my car was fine. a few days later i brought my car back to nissan informing them the noise is continuing and my car shakes and jerks. i left my car and they called and said my alternator needed to be replaced. just a couple days prior they said everything was fine so now i'm confused. i took my car to 3 separate auto shops and had them test my alternator and all 3 said my alternator, battery and starter were working perfectly. i began to research online to see if anyone had the same issues i have and there it was. a recall for the transverse link bolt. i'm pissed that nissan would try to rip of a customer like that. *tr
