problem #1

Aug 242003

Altima 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 3,000 miles
"pure" gas smell in exhaust....vehicle fails to restarts after being driven short distances, turne off, and re-started. Has happened since I have purchased the vehicle....dealership/repair never finds any problems. This is the 5th time it has happened over a year. Car will not re-start, unless I wait 2-4 hours & try again. Dealership/service said may have something to do with where I purchase fuel....but I fill up at several places through out the week...so I know that's not the problem.
