“I bought a car, sold as is , because the dealership advertised the car saying everything under the hood is in perfect working condition. This was my first time buying a car and they took advantage of it. The car is missing 2 lug nuts on the front driver side, and back passenger side wheel(I don't know how the car passed inspection) it was sold to me with no transmission fluid, when I put some in it began to leak badly(I have pictures) the very next day after purchasing the car I noticed a knocking noise in the engine and everytime I started the car it began to shake for about 10 seconds. …”

NHTSA complaint #10216157, filed 2008-01

“Purchased a 05 Altima in june of 2004. I have had nothing but problems. I took the car in at 19,000 and told them my car shakes and there is a ticking in the front end. Sounds like it is coming from the engine. You can feel the shaking in the seats, gear shift and steering wheel. Not to mention the shaking continues to knock my windows out of place. The shaking happens when your are sitting at a stop light and while driving. They told me that I would need to replace tires and alignment. I did the alignment. They then said that the ticking was normal and the shaking was normal. …”
