2001 Nissan Altima Engine Problems

“I was driving from work when I heard a cranking/squealing sound coming from the rear passenger side, I stopped and checked could not find anything, but noticed that anytime I stepped on the brakes/make a turn the sound will come on, took it to a mechanic who told me it was the motor mount and also that the brakes were been affected and I could not drive more than a certain mile on the highway. …”

“While stopped at a traffic signal the engines RPM would fall below 500 and at times would stall the engine making me vulnerable to a collision. It got so bad my daughter would not drive the vehicle. I took the car to several mechanics over the course of a year and no one could fix the problem tune ups and such did not fix the problem, I spent hundreds of dollars trying to eliminate the problem to no avail. I finally took it to a mechanic with a smoke machine and he found the intake manifold had a leak and that was the problem cost $850.00 plus tax. …”

“Car is idling rough and will stall at lights or anytime stopped while in gear. Has almost caused me to be rear ended on many occasions because it will idle then stall.”

“I have been reading complaint section my car does the same thing starting the engine it starts to shake and sputter . Some times I can give it more gas and it may stop or what I have been doing when it does it at a traffic light I put it in park and step on the gas peddle, this usuale stops the problem. It only happens every few months or so. I thought that it was because the engine was cold, but not the case . It has been doing it for a few years now. I have low miles on it about 77,5000. I see some people think it is a intake manifold gasket problem and I have the same issure”
