1999 Nissan Altima GXE review from North America
"You're better off with a Honda"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Molded door guards turned a brownish yellow in just 1.5 years. The car's color is white. Nissan will only warranty the door guards for a year after new purchase... gee, I wonder why? Nissan won't stand behind their product.
Also, the car has problems starting in cold weather. Have had a few occasions this winter where the car just wouldn't start in cold conditions. The dealership can't seem to solve the problem.
General comments?
This is my first and last Nissan. When a car company knows it has a problem (defect) in material or workmanship, they should stand behind their product. Nissan is not this kind of company.
