2002 Nissan Altima Electrical System

VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING AT ANY SPEED. NISSAN MECHANIC AT LOCAL DEALERSHIIP WITNESSED THE CAR STALLING. NISSAN ENGINEERS STATE THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE, CANNOT ACTIVELY DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, AND THEREFORE HAVE NOT REPAIRED THE CAR. THIS CAR IS AN UNCALCULATING RISK NOT ONLY TO PASSENGERS, BUT TO ANYONE ON THE HIGHWAY. NISSAN SHOULD TAKE POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE TO CONDUCT FURTHER TESTING AND REPLACE THIS VEHICLE FOR HIGHWAY USE. *JB

THE TIC-TOC SOUND FROM THE BLINKER IS MUTED, THEN COMES BACK DAYS LATER. FIXED ONCE BEFORE, PROBLEM IS BACK AGAIN. *JB

NO START - CAR TOWED FOR THIRD TIME - DEC. 30, 2002 ; FEB. 19, 2003 AND JUNE 9, 2003 - EACH TIME GIVEN A DIFFERENT REASON--RENTED CAR2 TIMES-REIMBURSED ONCE. ON 12/30-TOLD PROBLEM DUE TO COLD DAMP WEATHER;2/19 CHARGED $113. BY LEGEND NISSAN--SAID NO START MY FAULT BECAUSE I MOVED CAR FOR PLOW AND DID NOT RUN LONG ENOUGH BEFORE TURNING OFF; 6/9-RETURNED FROM 4 DAY VACATION-AGAIN NO START. *AK

THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE PRIOR TO RECEIVING RECALL NOTIFICATION 03 V 084 000. *JB

MY 2002 4 CYLINDER NISSAN ALTIMA HAS SUFFERED TWO COMPLETE STARTER MOTOR FAILURES. ONCE AT APPROX. 2000 MILES AND AGAIN AT 10,000 MILES VEHICLE WOULD NOT START ON BOTH OCCASIONS. *NLM

THIS EVENING I WENT OUT TO START THE CAR. THE TEMP. WAS ABOUT 32 DEGREES. THE CAR WOULD NOT START. SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE, I DID WHAT THE SERVICE DEPT. AT THE DEALER SUGGESTED AND PUSHED THE GAS TO THE FLOOR AND TRIED AGAIN WITH NO LUCK. I WAS TOLD BEFORE THAT THIS COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BEING COLD. WHY WOULD THEY SELL A CAR WHERE IT SNOWS IF IT WON'T START. MY WIFE IS EXPECTING A BABY IN 8 WEEKS AND WE NEED A RELIABLE CAR. THE DEALER DOES NOT SEEM ANXIOUS TO HELP SOLVE THE PROBLEM. TODAY IS JAN. 6, 2003 AND I CANNOT REGISTER BELOW AS 2003 BECAUSE IT IS NOT OFFERED ON THE DROP DOWN BOX. THEREFORE I AM REGISTERING AS 2002.

WENT OUT IN THE MORNING AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. TRIED ALL DAY TO GET IT TO START AND FINALLY HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR STARTED WITHOUT PROBLEM AND THE DEALER SAYS THEY COULD DO NOTHING AS LONG AS THE CAR STARTED. WE WERE TOLD IT COULD BE THE AIR TEMP., WHICH WAS ABOUT 40 DEGREES THE MORNING THAT THE CAR WOULDN'T START. IF WE WOULD HAVE DREAMED OF HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR WE WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT IT!!

CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO HAD NO SOLUTION. THEY USED A COLD START AND TOLD ME NOT TO LET THE GAS GO BELOW 1/4 TANK AND NOT TO PARK ON AN INCLINE. TWO INCIDENTS HAPPENED IN NOVEMBER 2002. IN APRIL 2003, THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN AFTER SITTING ONE DAY AND NIGHT. I TOOK MY CAR TO ANOTHER NISSAN DEALER WHO GAVE ME THE SAME ANSWER. ANYONE WITH A SIMILIAR PROBLEM? *TT

I DEPRESSED THE CLUTCH THEN THE BRAKE, THE BRAKE PEDDLE SEEMED STIFF LIKE SOMETHING WAS PREVENTING FROM GOING DOWN. PH
