1996 Nissan Altima GXE from North America - Comments

"A very heavy, badly designed breaking system car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

1- Engine oil leaking.

2- Strong vibration at speeds over 120 km/h as if the car's front tires were not balance. I have tried to balance and have aligned the car but the vibration comes back.

3- Egg like smell when activating the A/C for the first 10 seconds (girls hate this!)

General comments?

1- This car refuses to accelerate unless we step on it all the way for about 2 to 3 seconds.

2- It will totally ignore your accelerating commands unless it is fully warmed up.

I fully agree with the above comments. The alignment, and gas economy are major issues. Very unreliable car.very very low resale value.

Yes I am having the same problems with this sick car... exactly the same.. got a BMW, but now the problem how do you get rid of this sick thing?? resale value is now about 1600$ with an original sticker price of 18000 back in 1996!!!1.
