U get time sha

Try the stuff I suggested earlier

Let's know Wassup

My father in-law uses this same car

More dan 2 years now and only does routine service

Is there any car without any hiccup

Lacomb:
Guy!!! I am not an auto tech, but I have had enough experience with same car, had to help somebody fix that (2004 SL) car. Similar issues with yours and even worse, gave it go a very good and dedicated auto expert here in nairaland (did well and made me happy), engine was changed before, gear, ecu, throttle body, steering rack and the list went on. He advised the car be sold, but just like you, the owner (MIL) loved the car and thought it was the next best thing after agege bread and ewa agoin got married, until engine started its own wahala (round 2) and needed to be replaced. Now car is on sale somewhere I don't even care to know.
Though it is a joy to ride if the car is ok, but when the wahala start, you will hate the car with a passion
That car is a joy killer, you MIGHT continue spending on the car, and might angrily give it out someday. PLEASE for the sake of being happy, SELL the CAR.

HazzanTazzan:


Bros... No dey curse me...
Fact that some people died of heart attack cos of the car doesn't mean everyone who used the car never had peace...
Kindly face ur own shi*

Azzinnnn... I just tire... These type of advisers will tell me to buy EOD instead of Nissan altima

nissparts:
LOL @ this thread.
How did I miss this?

baaliyah:


abomination! how could you compare an altima 2.5 with an EOD in this context.

HazzanTazzan:
Evil here.. Evil there...
What will u say about evil spirit itself (Honda accord)?

kingreign:


A very good car

HazzanTazzan:


Really... And I can't count the number of Honda accord I've seen on roads this week with damaged (broken) front wheel

kingreign:


Blame the owners. Even

HazzanTazzan:


And why can't you blame the owners of the altima 2.5 also?


Abeg leave all these stories... Go and check foreign reviews about EOD and see series of complaints all over the place ... Will you also tell me to blame folks from USA who follow manufacturers direction strictly?

Since I've been seeing cars o, Honda has been the worst car I've seen so fat cos anywhere I see physical breakdown of a car, its always a Honda car, mostly accord...

Ive never ever seen a Nissan altima break down just anyhow by the road side

Show me one website, or Honda TSB which states that Honda accords have factory defective ball joints.
Do you know honda suspensions setup is a sporty handling for an FWD mid sized sedan? meaning it offers very good grips and can accomodate hard cornering while soaking up road imperfections and keeping the car safe on the roads?
Honda sedans as well as other sedans, aren't meant to be driven off roads.
Ball joints as well as other suspension components are supposed to be checked periodically and any failing part replaced because they're wear and tear items. When ball joints are replaced, the ball joints ought to replaced with units meeting or exceeding OEM specifications quality wise and not subjected to hammering so as to drive them into their confinement, but the reverse is the case in Nigeria. Here, we buy fake chinko parts and hammer it hard into the confinement then drive it over very rough roads and expect it to last.

Nissan produced in japan/europe = sturdy and reliable. E.g micra, primera.

produced in USA =

When Mercedes started production in USA and merged with Chrysler LLC, their quality nose dived, Toyota started production of 2007-2012 Camry with Americans in mind. Those cars were almost earning status of being wack products.

diportivo:


Problem wey this altima get no be body/structural

Isnt it sturdy??

Yes,the 2.5s engine is a major fail...but it's d same engine in the xtrail....and xtrail isn't even available in the USA

The VG35DE is the v6 engine of this altima.and dat engine is in use in various Nissan cars....bad engine too

Op is down already...I no wan kick am.there's simply no need

I'm sure when he gets to the point of no return,he will know when to quit

Oil dey?

shortgun:

Bros don't say what u don't know.
There was no time the quality of Benz nosedived anywhere

There is no manufacturer that doesn't go into partnership with other company(s) for different reasons
that doesn't mean the company will compromise on quality.

The lists and references are almost inexhaustible. I don't just comment when I don't have any idea. Go and study more on Mercedes and Chrysler you'd know better.

shortgun:

I opened the 1st link u provided and nowhere in the article that said anything about compromising on quality.
FYI Daimler-Benz as u know it before d partnership with Chrysler is
a Merger/partnership.
Nothing is wrong in a partnership and it won't reduce quality.

kingreign:


Bros, you're opening a first link doesn't mean you've read thru all. The top links are the failure of the mergers from the managerial stand points. Go and research more. May I remind you that circa 1998-2008 Mercedes quality was wack. They were at ranked amongst the least reliable brands, being a die hard fan shouldn't make you blind to shortcoming of your superstar, go and research. Dig deep, I'm not gonna comment on this in this thread cos it will ultimately derail the purpose of this thread, you'd rather open a fresh thread and call me in.
Thanks.

Op

U still av not stated if u av tried the theories above

Try dem and stop arguments u won't win.

Ur car is still taking u from point A to B,enjoy it while it lasts

Some years ago I had a 1995 Camry..obd1,diagnosis was hard and I started hearing thumps when d gear is changing....so,I sold it and bought a 2000 altima

My mechanic told me the 5 year older Camry is a beta car to d altima...car wey be say d door handle dey break like biscuit up and down,and some oda stuffs I don't need to write

But noooo,since its a Toyota,despite being 5 years older dan d Nissan,its sha beta.....story!!

Someone has even said u will spend 500k on d car

If na Toyota u go spend 500k,I'm sire to some ppl,it will make plenty sense..100k on a nissan is considered a waste....na so life be

Honda,Toyota,even kia and hyundai are all beta dan Nissan......shebi dats why there's no brand new Nissan anymore?since dey av gone out of business
