I got it fixed about 3 weeks ago and I have not had any problems with it so far.
Nissan wanted 450.00 dollars for the work but I went to an independant place and got it done for just under 200.0 dollars.
Good Luck.

U got it cheap. They must have swapped brush/regulator assy.
Similar story on a 2k2; intermittent, several visits to stealership resulted into nothin. I replaced the alt; problem gone.
hlent63: swap the alt.
Note: Jump start is a nono if u want to keep your alternator. Donor car can limit damages into battery - if engine is kept shut. Sorry but I will never help by jumpstart ... (to ruin my car). Too many broken batteries, alternators. The only proper way is to have a full battery swapped, then charge the empty one via wall outlet charger.
