My 99 Nissan Altima gxe is stalling when stopping for red lights and stop signs. It does not happen consistently and I never know when it is going to happen. I am scared that it will happen and that someone may hit me from behind. I have had it at the local dealership 3 days this week and still has not been fixed.

Nissan 98-2001 Altima I own a 99 Nissan Altima which has had check engine light problem for approx 2 yrs.done research and found very common for intake manifold gasket to leak...please look at car complaints.com...I have been smelling fumes inside car at times and now I know that this is a serious problem and it should be Nissan for defective engineering. I am having mine replaced but have read of many going again and a third...Nissan should be held accountable for this flaw.. thankyou...having to pay for there flaw makes me angry..

My Altima idles very rough, which feels as if it were about to stall. It shakes the whole car and is slow and shaking during acceleration. The check engine light came on as a misfire in cyl #4. on the internet, everyone has the same problem as the intake manifold gasket. I read this was a design flaw by Nissan and that they acknowledged it, but refuse to fix it. I now have to pay a repair shop to fix Nissan's problem.

The check engine light illuminated. Also while putting gas into the filler neck the gas pump shut off which caused gas to splash onto consumer.
