problem #2

Altima Limited 3.2L V6

This is the second time in two months that this issue has happened. Back in July, Nissan service department replaced the valve body and it ran good until 09/07 when I went to go to store. The car started, but I notice it was making the same sound it did back in July and then car shut off. I tried to start it again, and engine cranked but never turned over. Ended up call my roadside assistance to have it towed back to service department, and now waiting on call to see if they know what is wrong now with it.

Altima S 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 5,842 miles

For the 7th time I had my car have starting issues and brought it to Looser Nissan Kia (Luther Nissan Kia in Inver Grove Heights MN) for the 4th time. They said that they would take a look at the car and see if they could duplicate the same issues that I was reporting (prolonged cranking of the starter and not starting for 12-15 Seconds). They called 3 weeks later saying they could not duplicate the issue and for me to come get my car at my earliest convenience.
