Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / February 20052003 Altima a lemon?
Lets see - new sparkplugs due to 'gunk' after experiencing some severe bucking. Center columnlatch - minor thing, really. replaced catalyic converter due to 'engine lite' - apparently a flaw with the maufacturer where some compund loosens and can get back into the engine, wrecking it too boot. Clunking in rear initially thought due to anti-swaybar bushings. replaced all shocks, various fron ent suspension parts to fix 'clunking' sound on rough roads. Now it feels like car is going to leap off the pavement when hitting any bump bigger than 1/2 inch in hieght. Also wheel allignment is off, steering wheel off centre by two inches. All the above done at the dealer under warranty. is it a lemon? JH > Lets see - new sparkplugs due to 'gunk' after experiencing some severe > bucking.

Traded up to a new ALtima and methinks it is a lemon. Gonna but a Toyota. Nissan turns to crap, it seems.

My guess is the mechanic did more harm than good to your car. How many miles on the vehicle? Tom > Lets see - new sparkplugs due to 'gunk' after experiencing some severe > bucking.

Rework back brakes at approxinately 30m miles, they quit working, (300+ dollars). Trim under driver seat loose (dealer fixed and lasted about 1/2 mile before falling off again) Bad tire when brand new and dealer refused to take care of, (also Nissan did not follow up with me when I complained. I assume they took the dealers word for what happened and screw the customer). I also have the clunking sound but gave up on having any thing done right. Transmission does not shift correctly but Nissan service put the machine on it and told me 'it is within specs." Also in my area of the country where we get a lot of snow I would not recommend this car as it handles real bad on ice and in snow. It is my second new Nissan and probably my last. I also have had three recalls. I think Nissan has lost their edge. >Lets see - new sparkplugs due to 'gunk' after experiencing some severe >bucking.
