The hood paint peeled and the dealer fixed it. Now the roof and various parts of the body are peeling really badly. NO Warranty. NO FIX!

Altima 3.2L

I will never purchased another Nissan again. Clear coat failure, white spots from hood to bumper. Nissan would not cover the issue. Also, melting dashboard.

Altima 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 20,000 miles

This is 2nd time that I noticed bad quality of the paint. Nissan Canada refused to fix it even it was factory paint defect. The quality does not match the price that you pay for the car.
