Consumer Description

I MADE A COMPLAINT BY PHONE REGARDING MY 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA AND HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK OR GET A COPY AS PROMISED OF MY COMPLAINT. DUE TO THE MANY COMPLAINTS, CONCERNS AND PROBLEMS RELATED TO THIS YEAR ,MAKE AND MODEL ,YOU WOULD THINK NISSAN WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT MORE CONCERNED AND WANTING TO REMEDY THE PROBLEMS THAT EXIST TO AVOID LEGAL ACTION FOR IGNORING A POTENTLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT COULD BE DEADLY . ALL THOUGH I HAVE NOT BEEN HURT PHYSICALLY ,MENTALLY I AM BESIDE MYSELF THINKING IF YOU CANT GET NISSAN TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE THEN WHO CAN???? I HAD A ENGINE REPLACED BY NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND IT DID NOT LAST 20,000 MILES BEFORE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FELL APART AND GOT SUCKED UP IN THE ENGINE.. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE RECALLS FOR THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL???? ITS TIME TO DO SOMETHING AS YOU HAVE PAGES AND PAGES OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS EXACT THING AND IT IS OBVIOUS NISSAN WILL DO NOTHING BECAUSE THEY GET AWAY WITH IT TIME AND TIME AGAIN..THEY ARE WORSE THAN TOYOTA, AT LEAST TOYOTA ADMITS THERE IS A PROBLEM...PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT AND WHEN YOU INTEND ON DOING SOMETHING TO GET NISSAN TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT?/? *TR
