problem #2

Altima SL V6

  • CVT transmission
  • 139,000 miles

I have had to replace 5 batteries in the 4 years I have had the car, the cables are completely corroded all the time. Something over drains the battery to keep causing this. Had to buy jumper cables, then a jump starter so I don't break down and get stranded because I always need a jump. Ridiculous.

Altima 4 DR 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 46,000 miles

We've complained to Nissan about this problem, apparently this has been a problem with this car.

We have replaced our battery 3 times, that does not include the original. So that is 4 batteries in 6 1/2 years with this car. We were charged with the 1st replacement but after complaining to Nissan they refunded the money. The car was 14 months old. the 2nd replacement was 2 days after the warranty but they change it at no charge and the last had a 2 year full replacement but only lasted 17 months.
