Now, I am still having problems with my 2003 Altima. The dealer still wants me to pay for the repair. But it does not show anything is wrong other than errors for ignition. Drive it runs fair bad roaring road sound, shut off when it wants. Still a very dangerous car. Why am I still trying to drive well the dealer Peiltz in Lufkin sold me this lemon and charged me way to much for this car. So I can not get rid of right now. But I will never purchase another Nissan of any kind. Hope this car does not take the life of me or one of my loved ones when it quits going down the road.!!!!!!

I brought my Nissan Altima 2003 brand new off the lot, in 2002. I've always had my car services by Nissan Dealerships. January 2007, I was driving my car and it shut-off completely on the highway. I had to have the car towed to a Nissan Dealerships, only to be told that I needed a brand new engine. I was completely shocked, I don't abuse my car in anyway, but nevertheless my car needs a new engine. When I brought my Altima in 2002, that car was extremely popular, but it also had a lot of recalls (I should have know that something was up). I am finding out that Nissan is a company that's not consumer friendly, and they don't take responsibility for the cars that they are selling. Presently (May 2007), my car has stopped again, called Nissan Acceptance Org. was told that I need to have a diagnostic done on the car to determine the cause of the car stopping, oh yeah, and by the way, I had to pay, not Nissan, me, pay for the Diagnostic Testing. I was told that if the problem was covered under warranty, then they would repair it, of course the results are one in the same, I need a brand new engine, and according to Nissan Dealership, they don't know the cause for the engine problem, nevertheless, they refuse any type of responsibility. This car has turn out to be one of the biggest mistakes I have ever made. How is it possible that a brand new car, purchased less than 5 years ago, with approximately 71,000 mileage need a new engine. I am one customer that will not take this sitting down, and I am going to fight this situation, tooth and nail. I suggest to any and everyone that has a problem with Nissan Altima cars to COMPLAIN! COMPLAIN!COMPLAIN!, because that is the only way Nissan will take notice. It's time for these big companies to understand that if it wasn't for the Nissan Altima buyers from the pass complain, they wouldn't know what to improve on in the new 2007 and future Nissan Altima.
