Altima SE 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 135,000 miles

THIS CAR WAS A REALLY NICE CAR WHEN WE BOUGHT IT 5-6 YRS AGO. THEN IT STARTED, FROM FUEL PUMP TO MAIN COMPUTER TO FLASHING THE MAIN COMPUTER FROM THE DEALER. UNREAL. LOOKS LIKE IM NOT ALONE. HELP

Altima SL 2.5L V4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 152,000 miles

I bought an Altima 2003 (used), 4 cylinders, and I noticed when I am sitting on an intersection, waiting either to turn or waiting for a green light, the car's engine is not smooth. NOT AT ALL.

It keeps rattling, unless I accelerate to higher speeds, and only then it goes away. It feels like the car is starting to choke. Reminds me some of the early 90's cars, but this is 2003!!! F*cking NISSAN. Never again.
