Stupid piece of crap!

Well my brother and I were riding in my car leaving a restaurant when he noticed a puff of smoke coming from under my hood. Sure enough my AC no longer works. My car isn't even 3 years old yet! But I have 50 k on it so no warranty anymore.

Every time I think I have made a decision on a house, something breaks that requires money. Maybe there is a message in all of this... :confused:

    Those Altimas are quite reliable. Did you have any other issues with the car? Seems like an isolated issue to me, unless Nissan quality has gone downhill?

    I have an Infiniti G20 about to hit 200,000 miles. I have only had to replace the starter once. That's it as far as problems, the rest has been maintenance (clutch, brakes, tires, oil changes).

    I know I am not the only one with such a reliable Nissan, so yes disneyjoe, nissan has been building quality realiable cars for quite some time.

    Sounds like an isolated incident.

    I agree. Sounds like you just got one of the odd ones that will have a problem or two. Nissans are extremely well built cars. They are after all the same people that build Infinty which is arguably the best built cars on the planet!
