2002 Nissan Altima Nissan 2.5 2002 review from North America

"Pretty car, but it's a lemon"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

This isn't just your average complaint. If you are looking for a solution to this problem, please call 1-888-327-4236, this is the Office Of Defect from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Apparently the recall Nissan had to perform on the Catalytic Converter came from numerous complaints to this office.

I am having the same problem with my catalytic converter they told me I need a new engine because the catalytic converter got sucked up into the engine that's 5G's and I only have heat when I'm at idle and if the temperature is below 30 degrees forget about it I get no heat at all. everything started to really go bad after 80,000 miles, Called Nissan I am not receiving any help. So I'll take it federal. If enough of us say something about it Nissan will be forced to do something. By the way I've taken excellent care of my car, oil changes on time and tunes up on time, brakes taken care of. I don't see how a car that is 5 years old should need a new engine, especially if I've been taking care of it. PLEASE MAKE THE CALL. If you have any questions you can E-mail me at LIAHE@aol.com.

General comments?

No heat, after numerous repairs, even had the radiator replaced.

Catalytic converter got sucked into engine. Received no warning this was even happening. Now I need a new engine.

Gas tank door won't close.
