I own a 2002 Altima and I think it is a pretty close to a lemon.
Center consol cover, plastic broke. Rework back brakes at
approxinately 30m miles, they quit working, (300+ dollars). Trim under
driver seat loose (dealer fixed and lasted about 1/2 mile before
falling off again) Bad tire when brand new and dealer refused to take
care of, (also Nissan did not follow up with me when I complained. I
assume they took the dealers word for what happened and screw the
customer). I also have the clunking sound but gave up on having any
thing done right.
Transmission does not shift correctly but Nissan service put the
machine on it and told me 'it is within specs."
Also in my area of the country where we get a lot of snow I would not
recommend this car as it handles real bad on ice and in snow.
It is my second new Nissan and probably my last.
I also have had three recalls. I think Nissan has lost their edge.
