    Love this video man, I have a Nissan Altima 2012 myself since August 2020, and it had not failed me yet, I do oil change (and any other fluids) regularly, and so far I had no major issues with it, the latest I had was a coolant leak, but got it fixed at Goodyear 2 days ago, but the point is, I love my 2012 Nissan Altima, and they do last as long as you take real good care of it that is!

    I have a check engine light due to the neutral safety switch. Sometimes when I try to push start it sometimes doesn't start over so I have to put it in drive then neutral and back in park for it to crank over. Now when it doesn't start in park I put it in neutral and it cranks up that way. That's how I ended up with my check engine light. I have just about 168k miles on it. It was a salvage title car so I expected something to happen. Car still runs and drives.

    I like this, 2012 Nissan Altima 2.5 S sedan with the exception of the CVT transmission. Can you do an in-depth tour, review and test drive of a 2017 Honda Odyssey Touring eight-passenger minivan with the 3.5 L V6 engine and the six-speed automatic? I want to see how reliable the vehicle is in. Also, can you do an in-depth tour, review and test drive of a 2008 Kia Rondo EX five-passenger crossover wagon with the 2.4 L four-cylinder engine and the four-speed automatic, as well for reliability? It would be interesting for vehicular buyers.

      Yeah the CVT is a killer. But it is a cheap Transmission to repair I’ve been quoted 900$ American to rebuild with warranty from my best mechanic. Idk when I’ll be getting a 2017 odyssey my man, we are a small family dealership. I will do my best but no promises lol.

    Got a Nissan Altima 2012 2.5S half a year ago, first car, been driving pretty smoothly ever since I got it. Only 61k miles on it despite being a 10-year-old car, and looks like it was well maintained, practically only one owner (first one is a really short rent), and no accidents. There's a like a little scrape in the front (which they fixed before handing over the car to me) and looks like a very faint scrape mark on the side caused by another cars door, other than that it's perfect.
    I am just particularly worried about the whole CVT failing issue, and I know that if it fails, I'm not gonna afford to switch it out (like $4000+). I will do a transmission fluid change rly soon and hopefully that will keep my Altima alive for longer. Also it gets a bit shaky at higher MPH (like 80 ish), not sure the reason, and only when it's going fast. Took her in and the mechanics just said it's normal, so I really don't know.
