My niece took our Altima to California (less than 2,000 miles on it at this time). The cars belt was broken when the tensioner pulley broke off of the engine. This caused the power steering to fail and overheated the engine. It has been in mossey Nissan's shop in el cajon for three weeks now due to back ordered parts.
