2002 Nissan Altima SL review from North America

Shut off because of oil issue. Just had oil changed and put in it, and 5 days later while driving with my 5 year old, it shut off in traffic, no oil in it. Took it to a dealership to get it fixed, still burning oil at highway losses on local roads.

Headlights had to continually be replaced as well as interior lights. Didn't know you had to cut the battery to change interior lights, and the car wouldn't start afterwards, had to have it towed to be fixed.

After about 50000 miles, had no heat at all. Then started with A/C problems. Coolant and antifreeze just seemed to burn up, and we have to keep adding it.

Have to have the O2 sensor replaced again -- not cheap.

Hearing now that there is a cat converter issue and possibly a blown head gasket.

This car is a piece of junk.

It's not safe for me or my children, and it's not warm enough to drive my children in in the cold temperatures.

I can't afford the repairs on it, and it's not that old nor has it been beat on, it's just junk.

It is constantly leaking something and the things that go wrong are apparently going wrong with a lot of other people who have purchased the same car, but Nissan is failing to acknowledge the issues.
