A simple header problem... or A/C & transmission problems... Folks; this is yet another confirmation from a "GOD TECH"... why I choose Nissan.
Good thing Nissan let you go.

Especially if you can't afford the Cat repair!!

Nissan doesn't honor many $$ recalls.
Here's how to fix the problem.

I need some help. I have been without my 03 Nissan Altima since 9/12/07. Initial I thought the problem was with the transmission so I took it the transmission place and when the tow truck came and tried to start the car it drove for two minutes and died. Keys were stuck in the ignition and the car was stuck in gear. Once i took the vehicle to the dealer they took a while to diagnose the problem as the Unified meter control and told me it was going to cost over $500 to fix. The problem is now THOUGH THE GRAPEVINES I AM HEARING THERE IS A NATIONAL BACKORDER FOR THE PART. Which means I have no idea when I am getting my car back and Nissan consumer affairs nor the dealer is helping me. I have over 75,000 miles on the car, I bought the car in 05 and I am still making car payments and I don't know what to do. PLEASE HELP ME

i hate nissan too...

I've replaced my engine, and then months ago, my car kept randomly turning off. Fortunately, I ran into good mechanics and recommended me to an Auto Electrician Specialist. They had a difficult time figuring it out... It turns out it wasn't the computer chip, it was the insulation of the wires to the chip. The insulation was so bad that it was causing random interference with the electrical signal, hence, my car/engine failing.

Unfortunatley, with dealerships, no one looks out for you or your best interests... You pretty much need to get really pissed off and start threatening with media exposure, etc. Get everything documented, everything. In the end you may at least have a chance at small claims and get your costs/expenses back.

i empathize with you. good luck.

Nissan recalls 686,500 Altima, Sentra models - Nov. 26, 2007

Hopefully everyone can get some compensation or fix altima out of this admission to not correcting the defected car.

Hi ALL, Update on my Nissan Issue since 9/11 the car is still there, I ended up buying another vehicle but apparently there is nothing they can do for me because the recall did not affect the 2003 Altima. Unreal
