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.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Clutch pedal suddenly looses pressure while driving, causing an inability to shift gears. Thus rendering the car undrivable. After a period of time, clutch pedal regains pressure. This time period varies, and is not consistent. Dealer response has always been that they are unable to duplicate the problem. Many users on the internet forum 'Altima.net' have experienced this same issue, and have had problems getting dealers and Nissan motor Corp. To acknowledge and address the issue.
