2001 Nissan Laurel Altima 2.5 S review from North America
"I will never own another Nissan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes had to be replaced at under 36,000 miles.
Automatic window switch does not work for passenger side window and this started intermittently in the first year of use.
This car hesitates to go into gear sometimes in the morning. the dealer said nothing is wrong with it.
The horn now becomes stuck and I have to punch it to make it stop blowing.
It has been recalled for various reasons at least 3 times.
It is not very good on gas in the city.
General comments?
This car looks good, but did not live up to the reliability standards that I feel it should. This was an over $21,000 car and I would have been better off buying the Honda that I was supposed to get.
