I bought my 02 Altima brand new on 4/6/02 with 15 miles on it. On 3/10/08 at 75,250 miles Service Engine Soon (SES) light came on. I called dealer and took an appointment for 75 K services and SES light on 3/25/08. I took the car to AutoZone and asked them to read the Malfunction Indicator using ODB 2 scanner. It gave P0420 code and he mentioned to me that it is O2 sensor. He cleared the code. I should have said no to clear the code. Then came home and googled the code and saw so many people have issues. Immediately I started collecting all my receipts. I have all my receipts to date. I am going to dealer tomorrow. Any advice on how to handle this issue with dealer. Do I need to talk to Nissan Consumer Affairs before going to dealer? Any help is appreciated.
