2002 Nissan Avenir review from North America
"Don't buy a Nissan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After I reached about 80,000 miles, I had to change the catalytic converter. I took my car the Nissan dealership for repairs. They told me that it would cost at least $900 to repair. Nissan also stated that my car would more than likely use up a lot of oil and possibly blow a head gasket. I continued to check the oil and filled it up when needed.
Only about 3 weeks later, my engine light came back on. I took it back to Nissan and not only did they charge me $95 to check the car, I was told that I needed a new head gasket. This time I took it to my private mechanic and he changed the the head gasket.
I'm still having problems with this car, and from what Nissan is telling me, I will always have a problem from this point on.
Count me in if you want to file a lawsuit. My email is jaz_vincent@yahoo.com.
General comments?
This car is a piece of junk and Nissan knows it, and they're refusing to take responsibility for it!
