2002 Nissan Altima S review from North America
"It looks nice, but the engine sucks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I replaced my heater core, my catalytic converter, fuel injectors, and my 02 sensor.
General comments?
When I bought it, it ran great.
After it hit 85-90k, everything started to go wrong.
When it's in gear and stopped, it shakes like crazy. Put it in neutral and it idles smooth.
It burns oil. I add 2 quarts every 3 days, and have to add coolant once a week.

  | At this point very concerned!!! |
| I feel it is a lemon; it should not have had such major problems just after the warranty expired |
