My girlfriend recently purchased a white 2002 Altima. The car appeared to run fine, and after test driving the car, my girlfriend was ready to purchase. She had followed my instructions and inspected the car for issues I warned her about. I also suggested to her to set the radio to see if someone is resetting the ECU (to clear check engine lights).

Well, the day she was to pick it up, the salesman was very adamant about changing her oil beforehand after preparing the car, he said he'd "throw it in". After the car was returned, all the radio stations were cleared (someone had reset the ECU). The next day, it threw a check engine code.

After dealing with her salesman, Danny Bowman, they agreed to have Nissan take a look and pay for the cost of a replacement sensor (it was throwing a crank position sensor, I believe) After replacing the sensor, the light continued to go off. She has spent over $1000 in repairs, and is still having issues. The car is suffering from a lack of oil pressure, and has internal issues and will most likely need to be rebuilt with a new oil pump, not to mention the wear and tear the engine has suffered so far from oil starvation. It now ticks and runs like crazy.

According to Nissan, this is an issue that could not have just happened instantly, within fifteen minutes of driving the car off the lot.

Also, Danny Bowman, the salesman, has proven himself to be the perfect example of a greasy used car salesman. After the sale, he became hard to contact, rude, and utterly difficult to deal with. I wonder how that man sleeps at night. The only reason they agreed to replace the sensor in the first place was because my girlfriend is good friends with another employee at Toyota, and he even admitted that Danny Bowman had tried to pull one over on one of his family members that attempted to buy a car there.

So beware of Cumberland Toyota, and beware of greasy, no good Danny Bowman.
