2002 Nissan Altima from North America - Comments

I purchased a 2002 Nissan Altima 6 weeks ago. This is a used car purchase with 40,000 miles.

After driving it for only two weeks the check engine light came on. It was driving very rough and the oil light came on.

Checked the oil and it had all burned out of the car, completely empty. Added a few quarts of oil and it began to run smoother. The check engine light remains lit and will not go off. T

The car started to ride really rough and became noisy again in a couple of weeks. Three weeks later there was noise coming from engine and the car was out of oil again.

I keep hearing that this means that you have a bad engine. So, the engine is burning oil and I believe I purchased a lemon. The dealer is doing an oil consumption test on it today. I'll have to wait and see what they say.

Mine too.. go figure..I'm not a fan either and look up the lemon laws state to state..I'm bringing mine back the the dealership I bought it from..I'm so done with this car.. oh and check the coolant mine tends to dump it like a bad habit.
