2002 Nissan Altima review from North America
"Nice car to look at, but not reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
For the last 3 weeks my car has had a cold start problem in the mornings. It seems that it doesn't want to start when I crank it, until you put your foot on the gas pedal. I took it to the dealer spent $300 and some change to get it fix, but it is still doing the same thing. They said it was the engine idle and timing not correct settings. So they recommended me to have a major induction serviced and tuneup, but it still doesn't start normally. I do not recommend this vehicle to anyone.
