Very glad to know all this information. I just bought a very well maintained Altima with 230k on it. Its only current issue is P2004 intake runner control valve stuck open. I've already ordered the part. Thanks 1AAuto.

Just seems like an ad more than anything. You didn't cover the most common problem which is the failing of the CVT transmission. Similarly the mass airflow sensor issues aren't mentioned at all...

[whatevername]

odd, never had any of these issues on my 10yo alti and no mention of the CVT needing to be service/going bad if neglected, or the MAF problem a lot of people get.

I’ve never been this early😭. I love your videos😁

I just bought a 2015 Nissan Altima and it runs pretty good but I'm going to get it scanned and everything to make sure it's up to par.

I have a 2017 Nissan Altima you mentioned about the front struts. What do you prefer on the brand?

[rbtndvf]

No da problemas la transmision de ese carro...??
Si es asi lo tendre como opcion, comenten amigos que experiencias tienen con este Altima 2013 por favor.

Can anyone help me. Mine is having difficulty going up hills and does not accelerate after driving for long periods of time. Otherwise runs pretty good. It's a nissan altima 2017. Little shaking when I start it but otherwise not too bad besides issues of acceleration.

¿Las mismas fallas aplica para el motor V6 3.5, en esos modelos?

What about the Electronic Power steering pump that makes a buzzing noise

2015 Altima 2 5l S trim... A/C blows out hot air only, appears related to 'electrical issue' per Firestone diag and another mechanic. Replaced A/C control head and engine fuse box, still hot air. A/C compressor is not receiving power b/c of electrical issue and not sure if the compressor is working. Any suggestions? Please and thank you.

You didn’t even mention what engine that is the 2.5 or the 3.5 wow I thought you were smarter than that I’ve been watching your videos very very long time and you’re never mentioned it. I guess you’re only human and everybody’s allowed to slip up once in a while Lol

[kenj.]

He is not a very good salesman for the Nissan.

[josscuuz]

You didn't mention the transmission they are garbage
