ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA. TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THE CAT CONVERTER WAS BAD. CHECKED WEBSITE TO SEE IF OTHERS HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND DISCOVERED THAT HUNDREDS OF INDIVIDUALS HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND AFTER REPLACING THE CAT CONVERTER, HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ENGINE. THE WEBSITE IS HTTP://FORUMS.AUTOMOTIVE.COM/70/1106267/NISSAN/2002-NISSAN-ALTIMA-OIL-DROPPING-AT-108000MILES-I-W/INDEX.HTML. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT OR BE DIRECTED ON WHAT TO DO NEXT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
THE TECHNICIAN PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON MY 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA BECAUSE THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. THE PROBLEM WAS DUE A DEFECT IN CATALYTIC CONVERTER, WHICH IS DAMAGING MY ENGINE. I HAVE TO GET IT REPLACE, BUT IT COSTS $1500. MY CAR HAS ONLY 84,000 MILES ON IT. ALSO, I TAKE IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT EVERY 3,000 MILES AND FOR REGULAR CHECK UPS. SO I RESEARCHED IT ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. BELOW ARE THE LINKS TO SOME OF THE WEBSITES WITH COMPLAINTS FROM THE ALTIMA DRIVERS ON THEIR CATALYTIC CONVERTER. 1)HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NISSAN/ALTIMA/2002/ENGINE/CATALYTIC_CONVERTER_FAILURE_CAUSED_ENGINE_DAMAGE.SHTML 2)HTTP://WWW.CONSUMERAFFAIRS.COM/AUTOMOTIVE/NISSAN_ALTIMA.HTML 3) HTTP://WWW.ALLWORLDAUTO.COM/COMMENTS/VIEWTHREAD.PHP?CID=638520 4)HTTP://WWW.CARSURVEY.ORG/REVIEW_105673.HTML 5)HTTP://WWW.CARAUDIO.COM/FORUM/ARCHIVE/INDEX.PHP/T-222455.HTML 6)HTTP://FORUMS.CARANDDRIVER.COM/AUTO/BOARD/MESSAGE?BOARD.ID=NISSAN&THREAD.ID=158 7)HTTP://FORUMS.AUTOMOTIVE.COM/70/1106267/NISSAN/2002-NISSAN-ALTIMA-OIL-DROPPING-AT-108,000 MILES-I-W/INDEX.HTML 8)HTTP://ANSWERS.EDMUNDS.COM/QUESTION-NEGOTIATION-2002-ALTIMA-REPLACEMENT-ENGINE-28642.ASPX 9)HTTP://WWW.CARSURVEY.ORG/VIEWCOMMENTS_REVIEW_84045.HTML 10) HTTP://AUTOREPAIR.ABOUT.COM/B/2008/01/17/ALTIMA-OWNER-THINKS-HES-GETTING-THE-SHAFT.HTM I THINK NISSAN KNOWS THIS PROBLEM AND THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *TR

2001 NISSAN ALTIMA GETTING P0304 CODE AT 99,500 MILES. SEARCHED ON A DISCUSSION BOARD AND THERE ARE MANY OTHER USERS WITH THIS SAME CODE. THE CODE IS FOR INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. IT SEEMS THAT NISSAN IS ALSO AWARE OF THIS DEFECT BUT IS REFUSING TO RECALL AND PAY FOR REPAIRS. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND CAUSE THE CAR TO STALL AS WELL AS CUT OFF AND WILL HAVE A HARD TIME RESTARTING. THE RIDE BECOMES VERY ROUGH AND THE CAR IS NOISY.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE CAR BEGAN TO HESITATE AT A STOPPED POSITION. IT TOOK EXTRA PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL TO GET IT TO GO. AT SPEEDS OF 60 MPH, THIS SAME THING WAS HAPPENING. IT ALMOST NEEDED TO BE FLOORED TO GET IT TO GO. IT REVVED VERY HIGH WHEN I TRIED TO GIVE IT EXTRA GAS. SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION SOLENOID PACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ONLY HAS 76,000 MILES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF I NEED TO PASS OR GET RAPID ACCELERATION, I COULD BE IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
FILE #6258697 2002 ALTIMA MY COMPLAINT INVOLVES A QR25DE ENGINE INSTALLED IN MY ALTIMA. I LIKE TO GIVE YOU SOME BACKGROUND ON THE ENGINE AND THEN TALK ABOUT MY PROBLEM. THE QR25DE IS IN THE 2002-PRESENT NISSAN ALTMAN 2.5, 2.5S, 2.5SL 175HP, HYBRID 158HP. THE QR25DE SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF PROBLEMS IN ITS SHORT LIFETIME. A VARIETY OF MECHANICAL FLAWS HAVE LED TO NUMEROUS TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS, RECALLS, REPAIRS, AND OUTRIGHT ENGINE REPLACEMENTS. VEHICLES WITH THE QR25DE MAY INGEST MATERIAL FROM A DAMAGED PRE-CATALYST RESULTING IN INCREASED OIL CONSUMPTION. THE PRE-CATALYST WAS REPLACED AT 79,000 MILES AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER REALIZE THE ENGINE WAS CONSUMING MORE OIL BUT NOTHING THAT SIGNIFICANT. I STARTED TO NOTICE MORE OIL BEING CONSUMED AT 117,000 CALLED NISSAN AND STARTED A FILE THEY SUGGESTED I TAKE THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALER AND CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM. THE CAR BROKE DOWN AND I HAD IT TOWED TO NISSAN AND THEY LOOKED AT THE CAR AND TOLD ME THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS GONE AT 118,151 MILES AND IT WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $825.65. AT THE SAME TIME THEY CHECKED FOR OIL LEAKS AND SAID THERE WERE NO LEAKS AND TOP OFF THE OIL AND TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR BACK. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN 1062 MILES BROUGHT IT BACK TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS DOWN 3 QUARTS. THEY FILLED THE OIL BACK UP AND AFTER 261 MILES THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON BROUGHT IT BACK TO NISSAN AND FOUND IT TO BE DOWN 4 QUARTS AND WAS TOLD THE ENGINE WAS GONE. UNSUSPECTING CUSTOMERS HAVE LET THE OIL RUN COMPLETELY DRY WHICH COULD LEAD TO ENGINE FIRE OR COMPLETE SHUTDOWN OF ENGINE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS REVIEWED THE CASE AND DENIED RESPONSIBILITY FOR A POOR DESIGN AND NISSAN IS LETTING MANY CONSUMERS IN MY SITUATION PAY FOR A NEW ENGINE. I LITTLE RESEARCH ON THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE WILL YIELD MANY MORE UNSATISFIED CONSUMERS. THE CAR HAD OIL CHANGES AT 3000 MILES INTERVALS.*TR

OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM CAUSES ENGINE TO LOSE OIL AND RUN ROUGH, RATTLE, MISS. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING WITHIN 2,500 MILES AFTER EACH OIL CHANGE. THE DEALER ONLY NOW ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT'S LOST OIL, BUT IS REQUIRING THAT I DRIVE IT AGAIN FOR 1,000 MILES TO RUN AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THE FIX IS APPARENTLY A NEW ENGINE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 2002 IN 2006 MY CAR WAS USING 2 OR 3 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY THREE THOUSAND MILES. LUCKILY MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT NISSAN AND THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WERE VERY RELUCTANT TO PROVIDE HELP. FINALLY AFTER MONTHS OF TESTING, TEN TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP, CALLS TO CORPORATE, AND A TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH MY FATHER, THEY FINALLY REPLACED MY ENGINE. THEY WOULD NOT, HOWEVER, TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND WHY THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. NOW, TWO YEARS LATER, I AM FACING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS I NEED A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND NEW O2 SENSOR. ANOTHER ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS! AFTER RESEARCHING THIS CAR AND OTHERS WHO ARE FACING THE SAME PROBLEMS I AM CONVINCED NISSAN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND A RECALL SHOULD BE MANDATORY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
JUST COMMUTING TO WORK AND USING MY CAR FOR LEISURE; HOWEVER, EVERY OTHER MONTH I HAVE TO PUT OIL INTO MY CAR BECAUSE THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON. THIS IS WITH ME DOING MY QUARTERLY IF NOT EARLIER OIL CHANGES. MY 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA ONLY HAS 73000 MILES AND IS CONSUMING OIL AND NOW HAS BEGUN SHAKING WHEN AT A STOP AND SHAKES EVEN MORE WHEN THE A/C IS ON. I'VE HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND HAVE BEEN TOLD IT NEED A NEW ENGINE BECAUSE THE OIL HAS TO DO WITH THE ENGINE AND THE SHAKING THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. NISSAN REFUSES TO TAKE OWNERSHIP IN THIS MECHANICAL ERROR. I'VE BEEN DOING RESEARCH AND I SEE THAT I'M NOT ALONE IN THIS COSTLY SITUATION. IT'S HARD FOR ME TO TRUST NISSAN WHEN I FEEL AS IF THEY REFUSE TO LISTEN TO THE CONSUMERS. *TR

BOUGHT MY 2002 ALTIMA NEW IN MAY \'02. THE CAR HAS RECEIVED ALL MAJOR AND MINOR SERVICES, OIL CHANGES, AND RECALLS THROUGH A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. RECENTLY THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS AN ONGOING HEAD GASKET LEAK THAT HAD GONE UNDETECTED PAIRED WITH A SOUND FROM THE TIMING CHAIN THAT INDICATED IT WAS SOON TO GO. RECOMMENDATION: ENGINE REPLACEMENT. MIND YOU, THE CAR WAS IN THIS NISSAN DEALERSHIP A MONTH PRIOR FOR A ROUTINE MINOR SERVICE AND 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS \"DIAGNOSIS\" FOR A RECALL. NOTHING WAS INDICATED ON EITHER OCCASION. AFTER PLEADING, THE DEALERSHIP SUBMITTED TO NISSAN A PROPOSAL FOR THEM TO COVER THE COST (WHICH WAS DENIED BY NISSAN HEAD QUARTERS) THEN NISSAN APPROVED A 50/50 COMPENSATION (ME PAYING 1/2 AND NISSAN PAYING 1/2) I THEN OPENED A CLAIM WITH NISSAN\'S REGIONAL OFFICE IN THE HOPES THAT THEY WOULD COVER THE COST BUT WAS TOLD THAT THE 50/50 OFFER WAS THE BEST THEY COULD DO.. DAMAGE RESULTING = A NEW ENGINE WAS QUOTED AT APPROX: 3500.00. I ENDED UP PAYING 1700 PRE-TAXED OUT OF MY POCKET. *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA STARTED STALLING AT LOW SPEEDS AND THE ENGINE BEGAN JUMPING AT ACCELERATION. APPARENTLY, I HAD A RECALL ON THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THORNHILL NISSAN IN FORT WORTH, TEXAS AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPROGRAM THE ECM. THE NEXT DAY THE SEL CAME ON AND THE CAR STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN WITH ITS PROBLEMS. WHEN I CALLED DALENE VASQUEZ AT THORNHILL NISSAN SHE STATED THAT THE SENSOR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME $200 TO REPLACE. THROUGH MY OWN INDEPENDENT RESEARCH I FIND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM SINCE THEIR 2002 MODELS AND THEY WON'T REPLACE THE $40 SENSOR. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
IN JUNE OF 2008, I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL REGARDING A RECALL ON THE ENGINE COOLING OF THE 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5L ENGINE. I TOOK MY CAR IN THE TO LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN LUBBOCK, TX AND THE ISSUE WAS SUPPOSEDLY CORRECTED. I HAD NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH MY CAR UNTIL AFTER THIS REPAIR WAS DONE. I WENT TO PICK UP MY CAR AND RIGHT AFTERWARDS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS REMAINED ON SINCE THEN. I CALLED OVER TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT IT WAS OK FOR THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT TO BE ON AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. SOON AFTERWARD MY CAR BEGAN TO HAVE TROUBLE CRANKING. I WOULD GO SEVERAL DAYS WITHOUT WANTING TO CRANK AT ALL AND ALSO IT WOULD TAKE A WHILE TO TURN OVER IF IT WAS CRANKING. ABOUT TWO DAYS AGO MY CAR WOULD NOT CRANK ONCE AGAIN. I LET THE CAR SIT UNTIL THE NEXT DAY AND ATTEMPTED TO CRANK IT AGAIN. THE CAR STILL WOULD NOT CRANK. I GOT THE CAR TOWED BACK TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE ISSUE WAS, AS OTHERS PREVIOUSLY STATED, THE CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ASKED IF THE CRANKSHAFT WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY AND WAS ADVISED THAT IT WAS BECAUSE THE CRANKSHAFT WAS "MENTIONED" IN THE RECALL BUT NOT SPECIFICALLY COVERED TO BE REPAIRED BY THE RECALL. I WAS ADVISED THAT THOSE TWO REPAIRS WILL BE $208.00 TO REPAIR PLUS TAXES AND THAT THERE WAS NO WAY TO REPAIR IT FREE BECAUSE IT WAS NOT SPECIFICALLY STATED THAT THESE ISSUES WOULD BE FREE UNDER THE RECALL. I CALLED THE NISSAN USA NUMBER AND ASKED FOR A RESOLVE. I ASKED FOR THE REPAIRS TO BE PAID BY THEM BECAUSE THE RECALL WAS SUPPOSED TO PREVENT THIS VERY PROBLEM FROM OCCURRING HOWEVER INSTEAD OF PREVENTING THE PROBLEM, THE REPAIRS CAUSED THE PROBLEM TO START. THEY REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE FEES AND TOLD ME THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY THE BILL AND THEN SUBMIT THE BILL TO THEM FOR RESEARCH TO SEE IF THEY COULD DO ANYTHING ABOUT REIMBURSEMENT. THE FEE SHOULD NOT BE MY RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE NISSAN REFUSES TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM. *TR
