2003 Nissan Altima S from North America - Comments

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I have owned a 2003 Nissan Altima 2.5S for nearly two years without trouble until the beginning of last winter. The car has a hard start in cold weather as many other reviewers have posted. I do mostly highway miles (about 100 per day) I've had all the recall work done and still have this problem. I'd like to know if anyone has found a solution yet? Does synthetic oil really help? My troubles only occur in cold weather. Thanks.

General comments?

Not sure, but this may help.

ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD IN OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE STATES OF ALASKA, COLORADO, CONNECTICUT, IOWA, IDAHO, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, KANSAS, MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, MONTANA, NORTH DAKOTA, NEBRASKA, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, SOUTH DAKOTA, UTAH, VERMONT, WISCONSIN, AND WYOMING. AT EXTREMELY COLD TEMPERATURES, MOISTURE IN THE FUEL TANK COULD FREEZE AND FORM ICE CRYSTALS. THESE ICE CRYSTALS MAY OBSTRUCT THE SUCTION OPENING OF THE FUEL PUMP.
