2001 Nissan Altima

THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET ON MY 2001 NISSAN ALTIMA GXE IS LEAKING. I HAD TO PAY OVER $480.00 TO GET IT REPAIRED. SEVERAL HUNDRED OTHER VEHICLES HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND NISSAN SHOULD DO A RECALL OR REIMBURSE MY SELF AND OTHERS FOR THIS DEFECT IN THE PAT OR ENGINEERING FLAW. THIS IS A MAJOR EMISSION PROBLEM AND I WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION IN VIRGINIA. *TR

ROUGH IDLING THAT STARTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. THE CAR HAS CUT OFF ABOUT 3 TIMES WHILE I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. I HAVE CHANGED SPARK PLUGS, SPARK PLUG WIRES, FUEL FILTER, OXYGEN SENSOR AND NOTHING HAS HELPED. I HAVE A MECHANIC WHO THINKS IT IS POSSIBLY THE FUEL INJECTOR BUT I DON'T WANT TO KEEP SPENDING MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. THERE SHOULD BE RECALL ON THIS FAULTY PART THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM FOR EVERYONE. *TR

OWNER OF A 2001 NISSAN ALTIMA SE 2.4L, BOUGHT NEW IN 2001, ALL SERVICES AND TAKEN GOOD CARE . HAD THE MANIFOLD GASKET REPAIRED , THEN THE O2 SENSOR, AND NOW THE WHOLE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS FAULTY AND THE ESTIMATE FOR THIS LAST WORK IS $400 (FROM A LOCAL CHEAP MECHANIC, FORGET ABOUT THE BRAND NAME MECHANICS IN BAY AREA , WOULD BE 3 TIMES I GUESS). MILES ON THE CAR : ONLY 70K AND I AM THE ONLY DRIVER. CHECK CARCOMPLAINTS.COM FOR 100+ NISSAN ALTIMA 2001 CAR ENGINE COMPLAINTS ALONE. PLEASE I WOULD REQUEST THIS ORGANIZATION TO TAKE ACTION AND LET NISSAN PAY FOR THE SERVICES AND LOST TIME BECAUSE OF THIS BAD DESIGN AND COMMON PROBLEM. THANK YOU. SHAHID USMAN *TR

ROUGH IDLING AND VIBRATIONS IN THE ENGINE STARTED IN 2006 AT 102,000 MILES. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON. THEN, A FEW WEEKS LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. WENT TO NUMEROUS MECHANICS WHO COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. DROVE THE CAR LIKE THIS FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM! ENGINE NOW BUCKS AND STALLS OUT. THE ONLY WAY TO SIT AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT WITHOUT YOUR CAR STALLING IS TO PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS AND BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME! YOU HOPE AND PRAY YOU DON'T RUN INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU! I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS! NOW, THERE IS POPPING NOISES COMING FROM THE ENGINE. YOU CAN PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WON'T MOVE! AFTER A WHILE THE CAR WILL TAKE OFF! TRY GETTING ONTO THE HIGHWAY WITH THIS ISSUE!! AFTER REPLACING SPARK PLUGS, DISTRIBUTOR CAPS, HARNESSES, FUEL INJECTORS, FUEL FILTERS, O-RINGS, ETC. WE FINALLY FIGURED OUT IT WAS THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET! A CHEAP PART TO BUY BUT EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO FIX! OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS I HAVE SPENT OVER $4,000 TO ACTUALLY FIX MY CAR! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS HAVING A PROBLEM, I FOUND 110 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE! EVERY SINGLE PERSON HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE 2000-2001 NISSAN ALTIMA!! PLEASE RECALL THIS ITEM! I WOULD HATE TO SEE SOMEONE BECOME SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF NISSAN!! A SIMPLE RECALL TO REPLACE A $10.00 PART TO SAVE A LIFE...... OR A LAWSUIT AND A LOST LIFE! THIS SHOULD BE A NO BRAINER!! A RECALL OR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.....NISSAN SHOULD HURRY UP AND TAKE THEIR PICK!!! I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER NISSAN!! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE IDLES ROUGHLY WHENEVER IT IS IN PARK OR STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, BUT THE AMOUNT FOR THE GASKET WAS ONLY $11. HOWEVER, THE REPAIR WOULD COST $600. THE DEALER IS NOT REPLACING THE GASKET. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING WHILE IDLING. ON ONE OCCASION, HE NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT THE ESTIMATED COST OF $900. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 130,000.

NISSAN ALTIMA GLE 2001 REQUIRED THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET REPLACEMENT ON 10/11/03 UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE CAR IDLED VERY HIGH WHEN AT A STOP LIGHT. THE SAME PROBLEM HAS RECURRED. WHEN CONSULTING CARCOMPLAINT.COM THERE ARE OVER 80 OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS. MY DAUGHTER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND DID NOT REPORT IT. SHE HAD IT REPAIRED WITHOUT WARRANTY COVERAGE. I SUGGEST THAT YOU GO TO WWW.CARCOMPLAINT.COM/NISSAN/ALTIMA/2001 AND READ THE COMPLAINTS. I AM SURE THIS DEFECT IS NOT LIMITED TO THE 2001 ALTIMA. *TR

MY 2001 NISSAN ALTIMA SHAKES WHEN IN THE IDLE OR STOP POSITION. HAVE HAD ALL THE REPAIRS DONE TO THAT I COULD AFFORD. WENT ON TO AUTOBEEF.COM AND READ 74 OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. WE ALL HAVE THE SAME QUESTION WHY WASN'T THIS CAR RECALLED OR FIXED BY NISSAN. IT WAS A MISTAKE ON THEIR BEHALF. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR AND IT IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. I THINK THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE RESEARCHED AND TAKING CARE OF AND NOT BY THE CONSUMER OF THESE DANGEROUS CARS. ALSO SOMEONE SHOULD READ THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS MAKE, YEAR AND MODEL OF THIS CAR. IT IS A 2001 NISSAN ALTIMA AND THE MAJOR COMPLAINT IS A FAULTY INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. LIKE I SAID IT IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND SOMETHING DONE ABOUT IT BEFORE THERE ARE ANY DEATHS. OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT HAS TO HAPPEN BEFORE THE PROBLEM IS TAKEN CARE OF??????? *TR
