| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2002 nissan altima 2.5s difficult to start, will frequently stall once started as soon as its put into gear. (nissan dealership said it was due to "bad fuel"-charged $500 to drain tank and refill..problem still exists..) backed out of driveway, vehicle stalled, steering becomes extremely hard, unable to maneuver car, hit tree and cracked spoiler/dent bumper. not safe to take on highway, as you cannot "merge" into traffic at highway speeds.. if you try to accelerate, it will buck and stall. the "service engine soon" light has been on for 8 months, even after dealership says they "fixed the problems" . light keeps coming back on. vehicle started blowing warm air through a/c this summer. took to dealership. they said "too much freon" and charged $300. problem still existed the next day. took back to dealership.. charged another $100 to do "diagnostics".. no problems ever fixed. light still on. nissan not addressing it. basically ignoring the light, even though car has been in there for over $1000 worth of "repairs" in 1 month. *jb |
