NHTSA Complaint #10343069 — 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA

I AM ONE OF MANY WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2003 2.5 ENGINE. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP KEPT TELLING ME THEY WERE NOT SURE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR WHEN I WOULD TAKE IT IN FOR THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. COSTING 91.00 EACH TIME YOU HAVE THAT TEST DONE. I WAS TOLD AFTER MANY TIMES OF THE CAR STALLING AND SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING IT THAT IT NEEDED A COIL #3 WELL THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM THE AT ALL DRIVING THE CAR THE DAY THAT WE WERE GOING TO REPLACE THE COIL THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. SO BECAUSE I AM AT 89,000 MILE AND THE WARRANTY HAS RUN OUT I AM BASICALLY OUT OF LUCK IS WHAT THEY SAID AND THEY AREN'T RESPONSIBLE. SO HERE I AM WITH A 2003 ALTIMA THAT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE CAUSE THE OF THE FAULTY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. SO WHY WE WERE NEVER TOLD THE MANY TIMES WE WENT IN THAT THIS COULD BE THE PROBLEM IS WHAT I AM SO CONFUSED ABOUT. I AM A SINGLE MOM THAT STILL OWES A YEAR ON THIS CAR AT 400 A MONTH AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THIS IS CRAZY ALL THE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING AND NISSAN IS NOT BEING ACCOUNTABLE AT ALL. AND THIS PROBLEM COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS ALSO IF YOU WERE IN TRAFFIC AND YOUR CAR JUST SHUT OFF. *TR
