Altima EX 3.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 150,000 miles

I bought this car in 2007 and my wheel just started shaking a few weeks ago. I brought it into my mechanic and he said the tire rod is rusting out and about to break. Along with this rust and my floors totally rusting out, I will never purchase another Nissan again. Rust... Rust... Rust... My husband has a 1995 van that isn't rusting out as much as this thing.

Altima Special Edition 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 60,000 miles

I was driving at 65 mph and the car began to shake and then the steering wheel spun and the car stopped, the car had to be towed due to the tie rod that connects the steering wheel to the tires broke and the passenger front tire broke off which could have caused a roll over but thankfully did not!
