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.

2003 Altima hesitates and occasionally dies while accelerating. Replaced Camshaft and Crankshaft sensors, cleaned MAF sensor, replaced coils, replaced fuel pump, inspected spark plugs, cleaned throttle body. There is no check engine light or code to review.
