 Description of the problemHeadliner was made incorrect for all 2012 models and nissan is aware and refuses to issue a recall. We have two of the same year altima purchased on the same date. Also there is something wrong with the suspension still and when i turn to left it makes a popping sound. Went in to get oil changed and was told i had an oil leak that was going back into my engine and blew one of my cylinders and tore an o-ring so had to have that replaced. Also something wrong with rear defroster that required back windshield to be replaced. Horrible control issues when going over 50 mph. Also sunroof repaired several times due to repeatedly breaking on the track piece. This car as very poorly made and nissan will not own up to their mistakes. Also breaks squeak non stop and grind and have since cars were purchased, nissan informed us this was normal since they have metal break pads on the 2012 models. If i could give cars back i would in a heartbeat. Huge lemons on the 2012 hence the entire remake of the 2013's, they knew they messed up.
