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 read other compliant about the same problem..Nissan should be held accountable for this happening since it seems to be happening to a lot of cars.I read a lot of complaints about the same problem with the 2003 Nissan will never buy another Nissan....this should not be happening the car is less than 10 yrs. The Cat converters is bad causing the engine to go bad...they should of recalled the car with the first complaint like this...Don't buy Nissan......
It starts off with the car always needing oil be aware....
