SEVERAL TIMES THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START, I HAD TO HAVE IT JUMP STARTED. USUALLY HAPPENED AFTER IT HAD BEEN DRIVEN FOR A SHORT TIME, STOPPED AND THEN TRIED TO RESTART. ONE TIME IT WOULDN'T START EVEN WITH A JUMP. BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ALL READINGS FOR BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CAME BACK NORMAL.*JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THIS IS WRITTEN NOTICE OF A COMPLAINT I HAVE REGARDING MY NEW 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, I WAS SOLD A DEFECTIVE ENGINE, WHICH IS LEAKING OIL AT THE RATE OF 2 QUARTS EVERY 1,300 MILES. THE NHTSA HAS A RECALL FOR THIS AS 03V084000 UNDER THE 'NOTES' SECTION AS I BELIEVE THIS IS WHAT MY PROBLEM IS. THE CAR ONLY HAS 7,000 MILES BUT I HAVE HAD TO TOP THE OIL SINCE I PURCHASED THE 2002 2.5 ALTIMA. *NLM

WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROL ASSEMBLY FELL APART ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE ONLY WIPER THAT WORKS IS PASSENGER SIDE NOW. IT WAS SNOWING HARD AND ALMOST CAUSED A ACCIDENT ON I81 IN SYRACUSE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SINCE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN 1996 I HAVE NEVER BEEN INFORMED OF THE RECALL ISSUED IN 1994 AND I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES EVEN AT FIRST WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE REASON FOR THE RECALL, THE THROTTLE CABLE PULL OUT, ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO ME AND NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. NHTSA# 94V035000 REFERRAL CARFAX.COM INFORMED ME OF THE RECALL WHEN I PAID FOR A HISTORY ON MY VEHICLE BEFORE SELLING IT. THIS STILL HASN'T BEEN FIXED. CAN I STILL ASK THE DEALER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM?*JB
