Consumer Description

LIKE MANY OTHERS, MY 2001 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH ONLY 57,000 MILES ON IT DISPLAYED A CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHT. THIS OCCURRED WHILE MY WIFE WAS IDLING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. IT IS NOT A FAILURE BUT IF NOT CORRECTED COULD CRACK THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE ERROR CODE CROSSED TO A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER #4. I HAVE FOUND AN INORDINATE NUMBER OF FOLKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2000 NISSAN ALTIMA. OUR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND I WAS QUOTED $920 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WHICH APPEARS TO BE THE RESULT OF POOR ENGINEERING DESIGN OR MEDIOCRE MATERIALS USED FOR THE GASKET. I WOULD LIKE TO REFERENCE FOUR DIFFERENT COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE: 10167168 10145161 10100639 10163901 THIS INFORMATION WAS MINED FROM WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. WHAT EXACTLY IS THE MINIMUM CRITERIA USED TO DETERMINE A RECALL OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT? IS THERE ANY AGENCY THAT CAN COMPEL NISSAN TO MAKE SOMETHING SO OBVIOUS AND PREVALENT AMONG THEIR CUSTOMERS RIGHT AGAIN? *TR
