(1) MY 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA SHUTTERS AND DIES WHEN BEING DRIVEN AT LOW RPMS. I.E.(HEAVY TRAFFIC, OR STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT). (2) IT SHUTS COMPLETELY OFF WHEN IN MOTION. (3) I HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED LAST WEEK, FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND IT'S BACK AT THE SHOP AGAIN TODAY FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT THERE WAS A RELATED RECALL ISSUE, BUT KEVIN AT URBAN NISSAN IN DUNCANVILLE TOLD ME THAT ACCORDING TO HIS SYSTEM, THERE WERE NO RECALL ISSUES FOR MY CAR. *AK

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY CAR( 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA) THE CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC AND A ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I DROVE MY CAR TO THE DEALER MIKE SHAD NISSAN IN JACKSONVILLE ,FLORIDA AND THEY CHECK MY CAR AND ADVICE ME THAT THEY FOUND THE NUMBER ONE SPARK PLUG CLOSED THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A POORLY MANUFACTURER CATALYST CONVERTER BY NISSAN AND ADVICE ME THAT MY ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED THIS IS THE THIRD ENGINE ON THIS CAR THIS CAR STALLS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT HAPPEN TO ME TWICE AND RESENTLY AT SLOW SPEEDS WHILE I WAS EXECUTING A TURN THESE CARS 2002 NISSAN ALTIMAS WITH THE 2.5 4 CYL ENGINES MUST BE RECALL OR HAVE THE DEALERS ADVICE THE OWNERS TO BRIGN THEIR CARS IN FOR CHECK, BEFORE SOMEONES GEST KILLED AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE NISSAN MAKE ME PAY THE DEALER $498 TO HAVE MY MOTOR LOOK AT .WHY SHOULD I PAY MIKE SHAD NISSAN $498 TO TAKE MY ENGINE APART TO FIND A PROBLEM THAT THE NISSAN CORPORATION KNOWS THAT IS WRONG WITH THEIR CARS THE FAILURE OF MY ENGINE WAS CAUSE BY A FAULTY DESIGN PART. THE 2002 ALTIMAS ARE PLAGUE WITH PROBLEMS.*AK

BOUGHT CAR USED IN MARCH 2003 WITH 28451 MILES FROM DECORMIER NISSAN IN MANCHESTER, CT 06040. SINCE I HAVE HAD CAR THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. NO STARTING, CAR WOULD STOP RUNNING WHILE DRIVING, IGNITION COILS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, CAM POSITION SENSOR REPLACED (TWICE), 5 RECALLS, BRAKES REDONE DUE TO EXCESSIVE CORRISION, AFTER BRAKES REDONE NEEDED TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT WARPED ROTORS, RADIATOR REPLACED AFTER BOTTOM SEAM BLEW OUT. LATEST PROBLEM IS WHAT I FEEL IS EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION OF ENGINE OIL. CAR ORIGINALLY DID NOT USE OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES (3000 MILES). CAR IS CURRENTLY USING JUST OVER 1 QUART PER 3000 MILES. BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER WITH 52,281 MILES TO PERFORM OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. BROUGHT CAR BACK WITH 53,924 MILES. IN 1,643 MILES CAR CONSUMED 0.6 QUART OF OIL. DEALER SAID THIS IS ACCEPTABLE. HAVE SINCE CONTACTED NISSAN OF AMERICA (1-800-NISSAN1) TO START CASE #4630040. I AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT RECALL FOR PRE-CATALYST (DONE ON 9/23/03) BECAUSE THERE IS A POSSIBILITY CERTAIN ENGINE OPERATING CONDITIONS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PRE-CATALYST. MATERIAL FROM A DAMAGED PRE-CATALYST COULD ENTER THE ENGINE AND RESULT IN INCREASED OIL CONSUMPTION. I ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT THE PRE-CATALYST AND THERE WERE NOT AWARE OF THIS. PRE-CATALYST RECALL IS ON THE NISSAN OF AMERICA WEB SITE THEN WHY IS THE DEALER NOT AWARE OF THIS?*AK
