I have a serious problem with the front struts of my 2002 Nissan Altima. Everytime I drive over a washboard or speeding bump, the struts make a popping sound as if a hammer is hitting underneath the vehicle. As a matter of fact, any sort of irregularities from the road causes such noises. If you take time to go to 3rd generation Altima forums, you will realize tons of people going through my same situation. Please, if anyone from Nissan is reading this, you should know the Altima has it's faults, fix them!!!!!

Consumer complained about a struts problem. Consumer contacted manufacturer, who was not interested in what consumer had to say regarding the defect of this new vehicle. Struts were replaced twice, and the warranty was about to expire. It seemed that the struts were replaced every 10,000 miles.
