I had no problems with my air conditioner until one day i started the car and a horrible noise started. I took it to the shop and a mechanic told me to keep the a/c button pushed so the clutch would stay engaged until i can get it fixed. I had it repaired today and the total cost was $870.11. My mechanic called nissan and was told there was a notice for this problem, but no recall. *tr

The day after the sale there was no beam for a headlight. Now we see headlights fall…

Like many of you, i have also had the problem of the sensors going bad causing the engine to stop. I had the sensors replaced twice at my expense because nissan said that my 2003 altima vin# was not included in the recall. The second time the sensors were replaced, they looked different. Hopefully the redesign will finally fix this ongoing problem. Shame on you, nissan, for not covering this known problem in a…

I had my car towed home at which point i inspected the radiator and discovered a 4 inch horizontal crack in the…
