Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was recently contacted via phone that my nissan altima may be part of a national recall from nissan motors usa. [how come i did not receive any mail notification?] i brought my car in november/ 2006. thus, i called and brought my car to the nearest nissan dealer [wondries nissan]. the service manager assured me that the service department would run a series of test and it shouldn't take longer than a day to finish. as a result i brought my car in on a monday morning, and guess what? it's still there. it's been three days. end of the first day, he told me it's a huge recall and a lot of test needs to be run. [he couldn't told me that during the time i brought it in so nissan can give me rental car for my trouble.] since the timing was bad, i couldn't get a rental car. at the end of the second day, the service manager said the testing was done successfully, but when they tried to reprogram the ecm it is not working. [again, it's toward the end of the day, i could not make it in time to get a rental car] now, it's the 3rd day, and they said they will call me back to give me an update as soon as they find out what is the status of my vehicle. who knows what they will tell me next. i am concern for myself and other consumers who had brought their car in for the recall engine inspection. i am pretty sure they promise every 2006 nissan owner that it would take a day to accomplish the test, but it's been 3 long inconvenient days for me as a nissan owner. wondries nissan is not too attentive to my concerns and my daily work schedule. i hope someone from nhtsa can look into this matter and check why it would take them more than 2 days to perform tests on their [claimed] national recall. i appreciate the work nhtsa is doing for automobile owners nationwide. sincerely, [xxx]. *nm information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
