2003 Nissan Altima review from North America
"It was great, now not so sure!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We have had this car approximately one year. We purchased it for our daughter. About a week ago, the lights all came on and her car just died while driving through a parking lot. When she turned the ignition it just clicked, like a dead battery sound. We had it towed and was told by the dealership that it needed a new alternator. Now a week later and over $500 poorer, she again had it die on her. She called the dealership and was told it was probably the battery now.
General comments?
She loves her car. This is her first problems with the car, other than being rear-ended last August.
