Description of the problem	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.
