Altima S 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 67,000 miles

I bought the Altima used in Sep of 2014. I didn't purchase the warranty because hey its a Nissan and I never had an issue with a Nissan in the past. A year after I bought the car things started going downhill. First the brake pedal wouldn't push down so the car wouldn't start, that repair cost me $120. In Dec of 2015 the car wasn't reading the key so it wouldn't start. Dealership said the steering lock mechanism failed, that repair cost me $900. Lastly while driving the car a week ago the car dies as I'm driving it. Towed it to the dealership and the say, sorry the engine seized up you need a new engine that will cost $8000.00. The engine had oil and only 67,000 miles.
