1998 Nissan Altima GLE review from North America
"I got one of the few lemons they make!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Idler pulley seized.
All other drive belts seized.
Crank shaft seal blew.
Radiator has to be replaced.
Hose to radiator has to be replaced.
General comments?
Love the car, hate that things keep going wrong with it. I do not want to give up the car, but when things happen every 6 months, it is very depressing. I take care of my car, inside and out, and check the oil, water, fluid levels etc, often, but I guess I got one of those Altima's made on a Monday by a guy who had a big fight with his wife before he left the house to go to the manufacturing plant!
