ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE WOULD ALWAYS COMMENT ABOUT HOW PEOPLE WERE IN A HURRY SINCE THEY ALWAYS SPED PAST US WHEN WE WERE DOING THE SPEED LIMIT ACCORDING TO THE SPEEDOMETER. UNFORTUNATELY, WE HOOKED UP A GPS TO THE CAR AND IT TELLS US WE'RE GOING 4 MILES SLOWER THAN WHAT THE SPEEDOMETER SAYS. HONESTLY, A SPEEDOMETER SHOULD READ CORRECTLY ON A CAR THAT WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND NEVER HAD ANYTHING DONE TO IT THAT WOULD THROW OFF THE SPEEDOMETER READING. (SUCH AS DIFFERENT SIZED TIRES BEING PUT ON IT)

AFTER A ROUTINE SERVICE CALL FOR OIL CHANGE, ROTATE AND CHECK TIRES, ETC., I WAS ADVISED BY THE MECHANIC BOTH FLOOR BOARDS WERE IN NEED OF REPAIR. HIS ADVISE WAS TO DRIVE CAREFULLY AND NOT GO OVER BIG BUMPS. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND IMMEDIATELY THE OWNER KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. HE THE OWNER HAD ALREADY FIXED AT LEAST 4 ALTIMAS SAME YEAR. HE SAID THE STEEL WAS THIN AND RUSTED QUICK. MY CAR WAS ALMOST ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE FLOORS. STEEL IS, IN FACT MADE MUCH BETTER AND VERY LITTLE RUST SHOWS ON CARS. MINE CAR HAS NO RUST (EXCEPT FLOOR BOARDS IN FRONT) IT HAS BEEN FIXED $500.
