HUNTINGTON, NEW YORK -- I had purchased a 2003 Altima as described above in early 2005 used and in great condition. I have never had any problems with this vehicle until recently. I have changed the oil meticulously every 3,000 miles, I have 127,000 on it now. Yesterday 7/10/08 driving home, had a complete engine failure without warning, spun bearings. Online I find out that the 2.5 liter motor has had recalls in regarding to excessive oil consumption. The ** oil light never came on!!!!!! The oil was changed just 4 weeks ago, and as of 2 weeks ago, the level was fine. Just another imported piece of **!!!!!!
I am ready to explode. Because this car is in immaculate condition..... I guess I'm just venting.
I used to brag how wonderful my 2003 Nissan Altima was in the last two weeks. My car has been in the garage 4 and a half days. My entire brake line had to be replaced and my crankshaft had to be replaced. This never happened to my GMC cars that I had for over 10 years for each one! The final straw is I limped back to the garage today and was told that it was most likely my transmission!
