Common problems and easy repairs on a 2017 Altima
The 2017 Nissan Altima SL is difficult to maintain. Some of the headlights will require the wheel well lining, bumper, and headlight housing to be removed, which won’t allow for reliable bulb changes. The tail lights will also require their bulb housing to be removed to access the bulbs, which can end up being a tedious process. Checking the transmission fluid level will be a problem as there is no dipstick, and you will need a tool to help you remove the cap.
However, the 2017 Nissan Altima SL does have its upsides. The engine air filter housing can be disengaged without the use of tools, allowing for reliable filter changes. Monitoring the power steering fluid shouldn’t be a problem on account of the open access to the reservoir cap. The spare tire and jack kit are packaged together and can be quickly removed in the event of a flat.
