CarComplaints.com Notes: Here's a disturbing trend for the 2002 Nissan Altima: the engine starts burning oil like crazy, the catalytic converter goes bad, the head gasket blows and eventually the entire engine needs replacement. Sound familiar? Like a script from a horror film, these Altimas seem doomed to fail around 95k miles.

Dt the rear driver's side tire separated from inside top on October 1, 2005. Had not contacted the dealer at this point. The rear end had been making a roaring sound at 65 mph, slowed down to 50 mph, and then a few seconds later could hear the plopping sound. These were Bridgestone/Firestone tires, turanza el 42, P215/55R17. The tires were serviced regularly. There was no vibration, and there was no abnormal bulging in the tires.
