| Description of the problem | First of all i noticed on 06/07/11 that my 2004 nissan altima3. 5 se passenger floor board has a big rust spot which is about 11 inches by 7 inches, but the rest of the floor board is in pristine condition. Huh. Also the timing tension chain tensioner went bad on 05/01/12, with 86000 miles and had to be repaired which was a very expensive to repair, and saw that this is a common problem on the altima 3. 5 l engine. Hmmmm. And then, the car kept on stalling out going down the road, was told it was the cam shaft sensors, and had to have them replaced, now my service engine light will not go off, but engine is running good now. I bought a new 2012 altima 3. 5 sl back in december 2011, kept the 04 altima, most of these problems happened five months after buying the 2012 don't think. |
