I bought my 2008 altuma 2.5s brand new january 2008. I drove everywhere all the time. I put just short of 250,000 miles on it before the radiator cracked and burnt the engine up. Had no issues with the car. Beside chsnging the oil and transmission fluid(first was at 100k) brakes and tires i only had to change the catalytic converter and i was around 200k then. I still love that car.. miss it.

Everything was going pretty good until about 50,000 miles. I am getting a pulsating when letting off the gas, and a rough idle when cold. The 12 v outlet quit working. I brought it back to Future Nissan of Folsom, and they replaced the head! Thankfully I had the Nissan extended warranty, but they wouldn't allow me a rental, even though the extended warranty covers one! I get it back, idle is rough, bring it back, they say the reprogrammed it per some bulletin. The next morning, the idle is as rough as ever. Now the service guy, Rod, who had always been so nice, changes abruptly and tells me there's nothing wrong with my car. Now they won't take my calls and won't fix my car!
Expensive at mechanic

I miss my chevrolet. I bought this 2008 Nissan Altima used for $4500 from family with 127,000 miles on the car. It had already needed a transmission. Since I bought the car, in mid 2017, it has needed more repairs than my cavalier ever did in 17 years. I would suggest not buying a Nissan unless you are a mechanic. Brakes, oil changes, air filters are all necessary and understandable repairs. Some of the problems though. Check engine light going off all the time, low tire light stuck on with no actual low tire - was told it is a common computer glitch. The interior is comfortable.

So Many Problems

When we first purchased the car, we had no issues until the 15K mark and car would not start. Brake sensor issue. Another 15K, stopped to get gas in Alabama, car would not start. Brake sensor again. Trip to Florida and a loud whining noise, Transmission replaced 60K. After getting the maintenance, they stated that it will be fine. Whining brakes are annoying and the leather on the console is torn...not covered by warranty. Also, center console is very loose. Now the radio will not power on. Drive about 15 miles and then press the push start w/o foot on brake, radio comes back on. Problems and will not own another Nissan
