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.

I have a brand new Firestone T135/70/R16 tire in my trunk that have never hit the ground.I had a flat and went to use the spare tire that was brand new from Firestone and seen the tire had separated in the middle with the rubble coming out, this could have been dangerous and caused me my life, if the young man that was helping me changed my tire wouldn't haven seen the rubber ciming out of the tire, I think you all needs to check all the Firestone donut tires that are in Nissan before someone lose their life.Firestone doesn, T want to take any liability for the problem I reported abouth these tires, that why I am writing you all, maybe they, ll respond to you caused they, re definite not paying me any attenion, I am the little fellow going against the giant

I just want to let someone know that I travel back in forth to work every week and there were major bumps in the road and it tore up my tires. I pay a lot of money for my tires and I had to replace them which costs me alot of money and not only that my rims are bent up. The air started coming out the tires which meant the rim was bent and there was a lot of repair that needed to be done. I had to repair this out of my money and I don' T have extra money to spend out like that.

The alloy wheels on 2002 Nissan Altima bend very easy causing danger to driver/passengers due to uneven tire wear and loud roaring noise inside the care. Quality of wheels on 2002 Nissan Altima less than what is expected of Nissan car parts.
