Sell My Nissan Altima for Scrap

What Are Common Problems of Nissan Altimas?

According to J.D. Power, which rates vehicle reliability on a scale of 0 to 100, the Nissan Altima has a reliability score ranging between 79 to 85. A reliability score between 81 to 90 is considered great, while a score between 70-80 is considered average. This demonstrates that the Nissan Altima is a fairly reliable vehicle. However, it isn’t free from its fair share of problems. Here are some common problems Nissan Altima owners have experienced.

• Engine stalling: This issue affects most Nissan Altima models. Many owners have reported that the vehicle suddenly stalls because of an issue with the crankshaft position sensor.
• Faulty catalytic converter: This issue mostly affects models manufactured between 1999 to 2015. Owners have reported that the check engine light sometimes suddenly comes on, and a PO420 code displays on the dashboard. This happens because of catalytic converter failure.
• Fuel pump issue: It primarily affects models produced between 2001 to 2015. Owners have reported that the car sometimes stutters when in motion or doesn’t start even after repeated cranking because of the issue.
• Faulty transmission: Nissan rolled out CVT transmission to its vehicles in 2002. While CVT transmission resulted in benefits like fuel efficiency and a smoother ride, many owners have complained about issues with Nissan’s CVT transmission. Some common transmission issues owners have reported experiencing include sudden power loss when accelerating, jerky car movements, and even complete transmission failure.
• Defective engine seal: This issue primarily affects models with the 3.5L V6 engine. Owners have complained about oil leakage after oil changes because of the vehicle’s defective o-ring.

These are just a few common issues that affect Nissan Altimas. Besides these issues, here are some other common vehicle problems you may experience with your car.
