POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
I OWN A 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA 3.5 SE. SOME TIME LAST YEAR, WHEN I WAS AT THE GROCERY STORE, MY CLUTCH WAS ALL THE WAY DOWN AND IT WOULDN'T COME BACK UP. I PUMPED IT A COUPLE TIMES AND IT WORKED. THEN WHEN I WAS DRIVING YESTERDAY, IT JUST STAYED DOWN, I WAS FIGHTING WITH IT SO THAT I COULD CHANGE GEARS. THIS MORNING, WHEN I WAS LEAVING FOR WORK, IT STAYED DOWN AND WOULD NOT COME UP. I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
CAR SHUTS OF WHILE DRIVING. CAR WILL START IMMEDIATELY AFTER ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF. VERY DANGEROUS ALMOST WRECKED. MY 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA DOESN'T FEEL SAFE. THERE ARE SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. ALL WHICH COULD CAUSE POTENTIALLY FATAL AND OR SEVERE ACCIDENTS. THE HEAD GASKET BLEW ON MY 2002 2.5 S QR25 4 CYLINDER ENGINE. I HAD THE HEAD GASKET REPLACED AND IT BLEW AGAIN. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION THE HEAD HAD BEEN CRACKED AND THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF MARKS IN CYLINDER 1. ONE OF THE POWER VALVE SCREWS LOCATED IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD OF THE ENGINE CAME LOOSE AND SHOT THROUGH THE ENGINE, RUINING ENGINE COMPRESSION (IN TURN DESTROYING THE ENGINE) AND IT ALSO DESTROYED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, O2 SENSOR AND POWER VALVE INTAKE AND POWER VALVE PLATES. THE ESTIMATE TO REPAIR THIS IS OVER 6000. APPARENTLY ONE OF POWER VALVE SCREWS HAD GOTTEN LOOSE AND WAS BANGING AROUND THE ENGINE. APPARENTLY THIS CAN RUIN THESE ENGINES. I EXPERIENCE POWER LOSS BECAUSE OF THIS. MY CAR HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES NEARLY CAUSING A SEVERE ACCIDENT EACH TIME. THE VEHICLE STARTS RIGHT UP IMMEDIATELY AFTER IT STOPS. BESIDES THE COST TO REPAIR THESE ISSUES IT IS VERY CONCERNING DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. IT IS DEFINITELY UNSAFE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO BE MASS PRODUCED IN MY OPINION . I BELIEVE MANY OTHERS WOULD AGREE. THE IS A VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN ON THE 04 AND 05 MODELS, BUT 02 AND 03 OWNERS HAVE THE EXACT SAME ENGINE AND ARE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THESE RECALLS? IT'S RIDICULOUS AND SOMEONE WILL GET HURT OR KILLED IF THESE ISSUES AREN'T ADDRESSED. NISSAN SHOULD BE REQUIRED BY LAW TO FIX THESE ISSUES. T HE RESULTS ARE VERY SIMILAR TO TOYOTAS RECENT PROBLEMS WHICH KILLED SEVERAL. APPARENTLY NISSAN IS TRYING TO USE SOME KIND OF LOOPHOLE BY VOLUNTEERING A SERVICE CAMPAIGN. BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR

HAD OIL CHANGED ON 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA SE AND NOTICE LARGE RUST SPOTS ON THE FLOOR PANELS UNDER BOTH DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER SIDE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE RUST HAD CREATED A HOLE RIGHT THROUGH THE FLOOR PANEL - LIFTING THE CARPET, I COULD SEE THE ROAD BELOW. NISSAN DEALERS SAID THAT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY SO THEY COULD DO NOTHING. *TR

AFTER READING HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 L ENGINE FAILURES, I'VE DECIDED TO WRITE. CAR BEGAN RUNNING ROUGH. MECHANIC SAID AN OXYGEN SENSOR WAS OUT, BUT WAS PROBABLY THE CAT. CONVERTER. PAID FOR BOTH, AND CAR IS STILL RUNNING ROUGH AND USING 2 QUARTS/OIL PER WEEK. MECHANIC SAID WHEN THE CAT CON WENT, IT BLEW REFUSE INTO THE ENGINE, REQUIRING A NEW ONE. I'VE JOINED THE RANKS OF THE 1000'S WHO ARE GETTING NO HELP FROM NISSAN CORP. IN RECTIFYING THIS EXPENSIVE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA AND IT HAS DEVELOPED A LARGE RUST HOLE UNDER THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE FLOOR PAN. THE CAR WAS RUST PROOFED WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED NEW. IT HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS. OTHER ALTIMA OWNERS HAVE NOT HAD ANY LUCK WITH NISSAN TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM/DEFECT THAT NISSAN REFUSES TO CORRECT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY ENGINE BLEW UP. I CALLED MY NEAREST NISSAN DEALER WHO FORWARDED ME TO NISSAN CORP, WHO SENT ME TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND AFTER TELLING THEM MY STORY 3 TIMES, THEY ADVISED ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE IT AS NOT YET A RECALL. I LOOKED ONLINE AND MANY HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND WERE TRYING TO GET THIS TO BE A RECALL. I HAD JUST MOVED TO THAT AREA, I HAD NO JOB, NO MONEY AND WAS ATTENDING SCHOOL. MY CAR SAT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE FOR 6 MONTHS WHILE I PAID $430 A MONTH ON MY NOTE. WHEN I FINALLY HAD THE MONEY TO FIX IT, I EXPLAINED TO THEM I HAD JUST GOTTEN A NEW ENGINE AND ONLY NEEDED THEM TO RESTART THE COMPUTER. THEY ADVISED ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT, I ASKED FOR WHAT AND THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN. THEY THEN SAID THEY COULD NOT RESTART MY COMPUTER OR DO THE RECALL BECAUSE IT HAD A CODE THAT NEEDED TO GET FIXED. I SAID FINE, AND PAID FOR THEM TO FIX IT AND THE RECALL. LATER THAT DAY MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THEY HAD ME COME BACK IN A WEEK LATER AND ADVISED ME A NEW CODE CAME ON. I ASKED WHY THEY DIDN'T TELL ME ABOUT IT WHEN I WAS THERE AND THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T SEE IT THEN. I DID MORE RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THE CODES THEY FOUND WERE PART OF THE RECALL, AND THAT WAS THE REASON MY ENGINE BLEW UP. BUT THEY WOULD NOT FIX OR PAY FOR IT. I HAVE BEEN BACK AND FORTH ON THIS AND FINALLY I FOUND A NUMBER TO CALL REGARDING NISSAN RECALLS. THE PERSON I SPOKE WITH ADVISED ME THAT IT WAS NISSAN'S RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE FIXED THE ISSUE AT NO COST SINCE IT WAS A RECALL AND IT WAS ALL CONNECTED. (HAD THAT RECALL OR PROBLEM BEEN FIXED MY ENGINE WOULD HAVE NEVER BLOWN UP! RECALL OR NO RECALL, THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING ISSUE! THEY NEVER EVEN CONTACTED ME ABOUT THAT RECALL! I FOUND OUT ABOUT IT WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN!) SHE FILED A CLAIM FOR ME AND SAID SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME. IT HAS BEEN A WEEK AND NO CALL FROM NISSAN NORTH AMERICA YET. I CALL THEM EVERYDAY AND EVERYDAY THEY SAY SOMEONE WILL CALL ME. AT LEAST TOYOTA IS TAKING CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS! *TR UPDATED IVOQ 08/20/10 UPDATED 10/27/10

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
THIS COMPLAINT IS IN RESPONSE TO NISSAN RECALL R3007 WHICH COVERS HEAVY OIL CONSUMPTION WHICH LEADS TO LOW OIL LEVEL, CATALYTIC CONVERTER DAMAGE, ENGINE DAMAGE AND EVENTUALLY AN ENGINE FIRE. I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR SOMETIME WHERE I NEED TO ADD OIL ON A BIWEEKLY BASIS. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR SOME TIME. I'VE HAD TWO DIAGNOSTIC TESTS PERFORMED AND SHOWED CODE P0420 - CAT. EFFICIENT LOW, NEEDS EXHAUST MANIFOLD/CATALYTIC CONVERTER/GASKETS REPLACED. BASED ON INTERNET RESEARCH (TYPE: NISSAN ALTIMA 2002 - HEAVY OIL CONSUMPTION OR CATALYTIC CONVERTER) I FOUND THAT THOUSANDS OF OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME CAR ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS WITH NISSAN CORPORATION. NISSAN REFUSED TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT RECOURSE I CAN TAKE. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
ON MY 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA, BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARDS ARE ROTTED OUT. THERE ARE HOLES OVER 1 FOOT SQUARE ON EACH SIDE BELOW THE PASS AND DRIVERS FEET. THIS IS A WELL TAKEN CARE OF VEHICLE, PURCHASED NEW,WASHED EVERY MONTH (INCLUDING UNDERCARRIAGE). THE VEHICLE CAME WITH A FACTORY "UNDERCOATING", THAT IS STILL INTACT BUT NO LONGER FULLY ATTACHED TO THE STRUCTURE, IT HOLDS THE WATER AGAINST THE METAL AND ROTS IT OUT, WITHOUT THE OWNER EVER BEING ABLE TO SEE THE DAMAGE BEING DONE UNTIL ITS TOO LATE! IVE NEVER SEEN THIS, EVEN HALF AS BAD, ON ANY CAR THAT WAS TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE (AND IVE BEEN WORKING ON CARS FOR 20 YEARS!) THIS SEEMS LIKE A DESIGN FLAW BY NISSAN.
