I am worried about the reports concerning the 2.5 liter 4 cyl engine in my 2006 Altima sedan. I was told that this engine is prone to early failure if it was made in Nissan’s plant in Tennessee during Jan or Feb of 2016. Please advise. Also, is the 4 speed conventional auto trans a well made unit or as I was told a piece of garbage? I remain hopeful. P.S. the car has 104,000 on the od. Thanks! ---

12 year old car with 100K… That isn’t “early” for a failure. It got you this far, stop worrying.
