problem #1

Feb 072005

Altima 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 9,500 miles
At about 9,500 miles, faulty starter caused the car failed to start and stalled while driving on the freeway. I towed the car to the dealer where I purchased from and they tested right then, the car won't start but sparks with alot of white smoke from the tail pipe. I bought this car brand new on 7/4/04 with 50 miles on it.
