Altima Hybrid: What Owners Should Know
- The 2007–2011 Altima Hybrid uses a 34-module NiMH pack of about 245 volts in the trunk, behind the rear seat.
- Nissan licensed the hybrid system from Toyota, so the battery design is closely related to the 2007–2011 Camry Hybrid.
- Every Altima Hybrid is now well past its factory battery coverage.
- Some were used as taxis and fleet cars with high mileage — a module repair can still make sense when the rest of the car is solid.
- Check your VIN for open recalls on NHTSA.gov before paying for any hybrid repair.
Common Symptoms
- Hybrid system warning and check engine light
- Engine running more often and lower MPG
- Battery gauge swinging quickly
- Weak acceleration
- Loud battery cooling fan
Problems We See Most
