1999 Nissan Altima GXE review from North America
"Waste of time and money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My front driver side wheel bearing seal was bad and the car had only 50,000 miles on it.
The brakes squeal constantly even when they are new.
The air conditioner needed to recharged in 2002.
Now the rear wheel bearings are going out.
The car is white and the side strips are turning yellow and the paint on the rest of the car is very dull it's as if there is no clear coat on it at all.
General comments?
This car is pretty quick off the line, but has little passing power. Although it is fairly roomy inside. I have only had this car since 2001 and I hate it! I will never buy a Nissan again! The paint is awful and the brakes are so squeaky and then there is the wheel bearings! I hate dealing with the Nissan corporation they are so bad, they have no clue what is covered under their 60,000 mile power train warranty! I had to argue with them to pay to fix my wheel bearing and had to call them many, many times! Do yourself a favor and do not, but this car!
