2002 Nissan Altima S review from North America
"The car sucks!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine light has come on many times. Shut off while I was driving on the freeway several times. Took to the dealer ship for a recall and oil change; they told me everything was fine, but I needed new brakes, so I went ahead and got the back ones done ($400). As soon as I drove out of the parking lot, my check engine light came on and my car was over heating; brought back in to be looked at, and now they say my head gasket is blown; $1500 to fix, and my cat. is distorted.
Thanks a lot Nissan. Wish you would have told me this before I put new brakes on a car I cannot drive.
General comments?
This car is too new to have all these problems.
Nissan needs to step up and fix the problem.
