I have been driving for over 25 years and have owned 7 cars before this Nissan Altima 2010, approx. 143000 kms. In the past I have driven my Camry for over 270000 kms with few issues. Pontiac for over 220000 km etc. I have to admit this 2010 Altima has been the worst ever. Will NEVER BUY this brand again.
While driving on highway, the car failed to go beyond 80 Km/Hr when I should have been at 100. Thankfully aN exit was close by and I got out from highway. My house was close so drove back a few kms under stop and go traffic, the car would not pick speed.
Took it to the dealership, they kept the car for several days. Charged $1500 and still could not find the reason. Kept insisting it is not the transmission but my engine will need replacement ($4000-$5000 cost). Since I could not spend any more,took it to a garage. The mechanics laughed when I told my story. They mentioned a few others with the similar story. They found the problem within minutes and told my exhaust was actually blocked/broken from inside, choking the engine. Spent another $1200 on parts and labour. Car has been driving fine ever.
I called back the dealership and they mentioned, they need to take a few pics and would refund some of my money. So I took it back, spent half and hour and was told, they would call back. Nothing ever since. It's been two weeks. I called them in between.
