2002 Nissan Altima 2.5S review from North America
"I used to adore my Altima and am so disappointed with this problem I don't know what I will to do"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Twice now the car has ceased to run after starting it and shutting it off soon thereafter. I started the car to move it a short distance out of my driveway and shut it off. When I went to start it up again nothing happened at all. I tried holding down the gas pedal and letting it dry out a little, but it would not start. It was towed to a dealership where they got it started a week later. They could not diagnose the problem at all. The first time was in August so a cold start was not the problem. The second time was in the fall/winter and the exact same thing happened.
General comments?
The car rides extremely well.
It has a ton of room in the front, back, and trunk.
It looks beautiful.
It is great on gas.
It requires very little maintenance.
It is very comfortable.
