Altima 6-cyl

  • 81,300 miles
Beginning 2009 at roughly 40,000 mi the car began to rattle while accelerating, I took the car to the dealership and they determined that the catalytic converter had failed and it's mount to the engine had broken, it was replaced. Then at 81,300 mi I was driving 30mph when my engine light came one, I made an appointment and took the car to the dealership the next morning. I was told again the catalytic converter had gone and in turn taken out the ego sensor as well.

I have a 2006 Altima and there was a recall on oil consumption, the dealer said I needed a catalytic converter, then he said it wasn't under warranty, when I called Nissan hq they said I have up to 80,000 miles which I only have 53,000 on my car. The end result the catalytic converter caused my engine to seize and now I have no car and still have 10,000 dollars of car payments. The dealer is hillside Nissan in New Jersey.
