The car was stationary when this happened. We then paid $1191.50 to have this fixed…

What is happening???? Luckily she was not hit by another car, but had she been on the interstate in the rain (or even fair weather), she may have been killed or maimed for life. This has never happened before, to me or anyone i know. I…

I just got my rotors and pads replaced in the car 9 months ago. I think there is something seriously wrong with this car. I…

I purchased a 2006 altima nissan 2.5 special edition in feb 2006. Within a 6 months time frame i have had 2 engine replacements. This still hasn't corrected the oil consumption problem nor the clicking sound. I have also been informed that the clicking and grinding sound may be attributed to bad tires. So i took it to another company that deals in tires and was informed my tires were in great condition. Then on jan…
