okay so my bro had the 02 Nissan Altima and he kept dealing with some annoying problems first off the alternator went out on him a lot and was a pain to fix but then this timing belt thing needed attention too after a few years. didn’t happen to my cousin’s car though which is weird. coolant leaks were another thing and he had to top it off more than he liked and sometimes the AC turned into a block of ice. anyone else had trouble with the AC freezing?
another thing the engine light kept coming on without any clear reason kind of baffling and then you have to take it to the shop just to find out what the heck is going on. didn’t happen to me cause i drive my own ride but heard it was a common thing.
and hey do you guys have any other tips or suggestions fixing these messes in the Altima?
I’ve owned mine here in Ohio, and the Altima’s 02 model often bats an eye with electrical issues, like those headlights going out right in the middle of the dang night. The transmission can be finicky too. But it’s roomy and you love that V6 hum. Just gotta keep an eye on it!
I’ve got a 2002 Nissan Altima up in Seattle, and I’ve been dealing with some common issues. Had a few problems with the AC blowing warm air and the check engine light going nuts every now and then. My buddy in Toronto says his had a transmission glitch. Anyone else with similar nightmare stories? Keep yer cars running smooth, folks! 
I’ve had my eye on the 02 Nissan Altima for a while, right here in Canada. Electro problems are pretty common, like my friend’s alternator giving up on him in the middle of nowhere. Suspension issues too; hit a pothole and my ride felt like a roller coaster. Sounds like others deal with similar dramas, but I’m hoping for the smoothest ride. Guess we’re all hoping for the best but planning for the worst, huh?
I’ve got this '10 02 Nissan Altima here and let me tell ya, parking assist is a joke, seriously! I’m based in the Midwest, and it’s almost like the system is always taking a nap. Battery issues are another headache too, dead in the middle of nowhere on a few occasions. Funny how a dealer ain’t always eager to help with these things. You know how it is with certain car models, right? Not looking forward to a ticket in the garage soon!
Living in Toronto, I’ve noticed a few common issues with the '02 Altima. My buddy’s had the ECU go wonky multiple times, and the roof often leaks when it pours.

In Toronto, I’ve owned my 02 Nissan Altima for 5 years, and it’s been mostly solid. Had a bit of trouble with the transmission fluid leaking, a common issue.

I hear others have had AC probs too – anyone else dealt with that? Keepin’ this ride going strong!
I’ve had a 02 Nissan Altima and man, was it a bumpy ride. In Ontario, the AC kicked the bucket after a year, but worst were the transmission quirks, shifting like a snail, especially in traffic.

Trying to fix em myself turned into a lil project, but hey, someone’s gotta do it, right?
I’ve driven a 02 Altima in Toronto for years—cool car, but the transmission’s been a pain. Electrical issues too, always flipping fuses. Always a bit of a headache, but keeps on truckin’. Heard Joe’s had bad luck in NY with the same probs. Have patience, though!

I’ve had issues with my 02 Altima in Canada. Battery gave out quick, and the air conditioning’s been on the fritz. But she still runs smooth, just needs a bit more TLC. There’s a weird rattle now and then, probably the suspension. Anyone else getting these quirks? Not exactly a shiny ride, but has character for sure.
I’ve been driving my 02 Altima here in Texas for a while now, and some issues are pretty common. The engine light flickers often, and it seems like the AC might give up on sweltering hot days. Steering’s tighter than it used to be too, probably from wear. Seems every owner at the carpool stop’s talking about suspension noises. It’s a trusty ol’ ride but a bit of a headache. You guys experiencing the same?
I’ve got an '02 Altima in Boston, and man, the head gasket issues are a headache. Overheates like nobody’s business after a few years. Also noticed the driver’s side door lock jerks around, super annoying when pulling out. Suspension’s getting clunky too. Lucky for me, it runs solidly otherwise. Heard similar gripes around NYC too. Let me know if you figured anything else out!

My buddy’s had the same car and mentioned some cabin noise vibes. Definitely had to be careful with the brake pads too. Just part of the Altima life I guess!
I’ve seen a few issues with the 02 Nissan Altima around here in Southern California. The air conditioning tends to go on the fritz, especially in hotter months, and the power windows roll up on their own sometimes — very spooky! Leather seats also started peeling after a while. People say it’s a built engine beast, though. Loved the gas mileage! Overall, a decent ride with quirks. My buddy had to constantly replace sensors, too.
I had an '08 Altima in Denver, and let me tell you, the power steering issues drove me nuts! Started leaking after a year, had to fix it a couple times.

Guess it’s hit or miss with these babies!

Anyone else feel the same?
