Nissan has anounced that it will immediately cease production and sales of the Altima and Sentra models, and recall thousands of cars.

Seems the new cars burn up the engine oil in the piston firing chambers, followed by complete engine failure and fire. Well, isn't that special.

Reports of owners burned (in the literal sense as well as financial).

If you own an altima or sentra or even a maxima call your dealership and ask and be safe. I was un able to locate any website for this on the net but nissan has sent out letters!!!!

thats from my local news channel

 

this is about the 4th HUGE recall they have had. I wonder how they stay in business.

 

yea they had the suspension issue as well were the suspension could break off or something so now you could be driving and your engine could just start roasting

 

it's simple theory. People buy import lawn mowers, washer and dryers, imported products they use everyday to dry themselves off with a towel. People loves imported ****. They will buy something imported before they buy american because it's cheaper.

Buy American

 

nisssan is made in america too dont forget but i see your point but nisans are nice and the ser altima and 350z are fast

 

after reading the article NO ONE IS GOING TO CHECK MOTOR OIL AFTER 700 MILES. It's a new car, just buy it back and life goes on. It uses the same 3.5 as the Nissan 350Z so why would those cars not have issues?

EDIT: Most of Nissans parts are imported from there respected countries the HQ resides in.

 

the motors are not identical... different models... of the VQ35

 

less we not forget... our cars are not exactly american... there are a lot of german parts in mine. In fact every part I see is stamped Saab. GM car by nature german/swedish by design

 

I dunno but this is similar to the oil burning issues they had with the '02 sentra SE-R. That and prematurely blown transmissions.

 

yea one of my friends who drives an altima asked me where do you check oil at and how do you add oil hence nissan makes an excuse saying check every 700 miles umm i pay you 20,000 + for a car i aint checking **** every 700 miles

 

The Engine and Trans were built in the US according to the stamp I have on my car, the suspension is built overseas. Much of the Cobalt was actually prepared here in the US/Canada

 

Funny that this happened. Me and a friend were just discussing Nissan and their quality control the other day.

 

off topic a bit. Anyone seen the NEW M5 yet ? It has a button that you press that adds 100 hp. Im wondering if this is by way of N20 or just by way of activating more cylinder on the v10.

 

ist not sure but thats really off topic

 

my bad funny smily though NISSAN SUCKS... there back on topic

 

and yes the m5 bascially is like running in limp mode to save gas and be more economy and when you press the button it alows full power of the v10 no nos though

 

body assembled in Lordstown OH
most of the panels were stamped in Canada
the engine (2.2L) came from Tonawanda NY
transmission (base coupe- Getrag) sourced from Italy.

funny thing... remeber how GM was touting the Camaro as American as rock n roll? They were made in St Therese Quebec... bitter bitter irony.

Reading the article, it only seems to affect the 4-cyl used in the SE-r Sentra and the 4-cyl Altima (same exact engine). Lower Sentras and the VQ engine appear to be unaffected.

 

never knew 400HP was limp mode

 

But I thought all Japanese cars were the best ever made?

All I gotta say is, I go out of my way to buy American for just this reason, plus I lilke my job and dont want it shipped somewhere else were they make $2 a day!!
