CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2016 Nissan Altima shows multiple problem trends, continuing the poor reputation of the 2013-2015 Altima, prompting us to give it our "Beware of the Clunker" badge.
I smell coolant after I turn my car off, I can also smell it when I am going through a drive thru. I took the car to the dealership and they pressure tested the cooling system and could not find a leak. The smell seems stronger on drivers side of the car. It is annoying that I cannot drive with my windows down without smelling the coolant. When the fan turns on the smell becomes even stronger.
