problem #1

Altima GXE 2.4L I4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 107,000 miles

After buying this car used, the dealer's $2000 repair quote was almost like buying the car all over again! After doing the repair myself, I still spent close to 1500 dollars in parts and tools. The manual says the chain should last the life of the engine, but now I know that is not always true.
