So I just got home, its raining ice pellets outside, I just drove home from Hamilton (about 50km away). I pull into my driveway and get out to move the car out of the way so I can park my car in the garage and I see smoke spewing out my $#@!&*$ Hood!...I smell something burning, I quickly get the car in the garage, shut the car off, Its coming from the radiator! Someone is gonna get their %#*@&$! HEAD RIPPED OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW!!!!!

Where did you pick up your Coupe, did the Repairs?

Problem continues. Good luck with it.

Was it the actual radiator or did one of the hoses let go?

1.No MODS - STOCK

2. Brampton North Nissan

3. I suspect coolant leak. When I first got the car they had to install a new radiator and 2 transmission fluid lines. I'm guessing poor workmanship.

Funny, I called the service manager this morning:

ME - "Yah, so I got home last night and my car was spewing smoke, my radiator is leaking, so this is what you're gonna do SEND A ****ING FLAT BED TO PICK UP MY ****ING CAR!!"

Manager - "Call me back when you can speak to me; call roadside assistance" click.

One word:

Lemon

With the amount of problems you have had with this car you could probably file for lemon law. I'm sorry to see this troubling you further. Best of luck!

Thanks man, yah, I think that's official, other stuff that happened to me which I didn't even mention was that sometimes when I start the car, the bluetooth doesn't work and just recently I started the car and the stereo wasn't working! I had to shut off and restart the car like a frikkin computer and it worked again, but it reset all my settings!

I wish Lemon Law existed up here. My first car, '99 Pontiac Grand AM/v6 was a Lemon.

prlwhitecoupe, you still haven't gotten a replacement for your Altima? Hasn't it been disassembled and reassembled several times now? I don't know anyone else who even comes close to having as many problems as you with the car.

Canada has something similar to a lemon law. It's called CAMVAP, CANADIAN MOTOR VEHICLE ARBITRATION PLAN.
