2005 NISSAN ALTIMA Engine Problems

Car engine cuts off. After that I have no power steering, no acceleration, brakes need to be pumped. The first years of me owning the car I had the sensors replaced by auto shop and dealership under extended car warranty. Pretty much been replacing the sensors ever since for the past 8 years. I believe I replaced over 10 sensors of the time I owned my Nissan. I can be on the hallway, streets anywhere with out any warnings my car engine will stop. It has to do with turning back on the car while it's warm. That's when I seen the problem the most.

The engine has a hole in it and I bought the car without knowing the engine had a whole in it and I asked the dealer Mark Brown where there any major damages he said no. Also my car smoked while I was driving and I could have majorly endangered my life without knowing.

The engine began to stall out randomly when driving down the road. After two times the engine light came on it stated that the crankshaft sensor was off. Since then, the engine light turned off bu, the problem still persists. When driving at low speeds through a city area, will cut off randomly. I have contacted Nissan regarding their recall about this exact problem of the crankshaft causing the engine to cut off but was simply told that my VIN number does not qualify under the recall even though it is exactly what the recall is for. Was also told that even if I were to get it inspected and checked for the problem that I would not be covered under the recall because they considered it "wear and tear." the car is only at 110000 miles and has this extremely dangerous problem, but Nissan refuses to help fix their mistake.

WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THIS ENGINE? THIS CAR HAS LESS THAT 120K MILES. IT SEEMS I GET A LOT OF INTERFERENCE WHEN I'M DRIVING IT. THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY FORCE SPEED CAUSING ME TO SWERVE ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN MY PHONE IS PLUGGED IN IT SEEMS TO MISFIRE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON. H2O SENSORS COME ON, CACHE FILES ABOUT THE FUEL SYSTEM LANDS ON MY PHONE. SAMSUNG HAS SUBMITTED TESTS ON MY SPEN THAT ARE AFFECTING MY SAFETY. FCC ID A3LEJPN970 FCC ID A3LSMN970U. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CAR ACCIDENTS SINCE BUYING SAMSUNG PHONES. THE CARS WILL INCREASE SPEED AS IF I AM READY TO RUN INTO A BRICK WALL. THIS CAR DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF MILEAGE BUT SOMETHING IS GOING ON WITH THE TIMING AND ENGINE. I CAN BE IN MOTION OR STATIONARY, IT IS CONSTANTLY AFFECTING THE FUEL SYSTEM.

AT FIRST WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE BELT BECAUSE THE BELT FROM COMING OFF YOU CHANGE THE SERPENTINE BELT AND THEN IT WOULD RUN FOR A LITTLE BIT THEN IT STARTED TO STOP AND NOT BE ABLE TO GET ENOUGH FUEL TO THE GAS PEDAL AND I'D HAVE TO REV IT UP. WE OPENED IT UP WHERE THE SPARK PLUGS WERE ON THE VALVE COVERS AND IT WAS HALFWAY FULL OF OIL WE GOT ALL THE OIL OUT WHEN WE ORDERED A NEW VALVE COVER AND SPARK PLUGS THE CAR RUN FINE FOR ONE DAY NOW IT WILL NOT START AGAIN. THE FAN TURNS ON LIKE IT IS RUNNING BUT THERE IS NO POWER TO THE CAR AT ALL. I READ THAT AFTER THE OIL GETS INTO THE VALVE COVERS THERE'S REALLY NO FIXING IT AFTER THAT. AND EVERY TIME THAT WE FIX IT ONLY LAST FOR ONE DAY AND SO IT'S VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME AND MY DAUGHTER TO BE DRIVING AROUND IN THAT UNRELIABLE CAR WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THE RECALL.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE; VEHICLE SUDDENLY HAS AN UNEXPECTED LOSS OF POWER ON HIGHWAY AND WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS. CAMSHAFT SENSORS; SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER TRAVELING AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED, UNEXPECTED STALLING OR ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN AND NOT RESTART. BOTH VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU ALMOST GET RUN OVER BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND YOU. THEY COME UP ON YOU TOO FAST, CONTINUING THEIR NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS NOT REALIZING YOUR VEHICLES LOSS OF POWER UNTIL THEYRE RIGHT UP ON YOU THEN HAVE TO EITHER SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES OR MAKE SUDDEN LANE CHANGE WITHOUT PROPERLY SIGNALING WARNING OTHER DRIVERS. TIMING CHAIN GUIDE AND TIMING CHAIN TENSIONERS; WEAR OUT PREMATURELY CAUSING LOOSENING OF THE TIMING CHAIN, MAKES A VERY LOUD CLANKING OR TICKING SOUND ASBIT HITS THE GUIDE AND CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. STRUTS MOUNTS; CORRODE AND WEAR OUT CREATING A ROUGH AND UNSTABLE STEERING CONTROL AND CLANKING SOUND AS THE STRUTS HIT WHEN DRIVING OVER UNEVEN ROADWAYS, CRACKS, DRIVEWAYS AND SPEED BUMPS. MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT TO STEER CAUSE THE VIBRATION AND RATTLING IN THE FRONT END. THIS OCCURS IN THE 3.5 LITER ENGINE. THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN SERVICE BULLETINS AND RECALLS ON THE 2.5 LITER ENGINE BUT NOT 3.5. THE ISSUES ARE THE SAME FOR BOTH ENGINES. THE SAME PARTS/MANUFACTURERS ARE USED ON BOTH YET THE 3.5 LITER WASNT INCLUDED. PROBLEMS ARE ONGOING DAILY. ITS VERY UNSAFE.

CAR STALLING WHILE IN MOTION DUE TO CRANK SHAFT SENSOR DEFECT, ALSO CAR IS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY DUE TO SPEED INPUT SENSOR DEFECT. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, CODES GIVEN DURING DIAGNOSTICS ARE P0335 AND P0725.

NISSAN USED PARTS IN THE TIMING CHAIN SYSTEM WHICH PREMATURELY FAIL AND WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR AFTER WARRANTY. THE ISSUE WAS NOT ABLE TO BE DISCOVERED UNTIL IT HAD ALREADY FAILED AND IN THIS CASE, IS NOT A REPAIR THE OWNER CAN PERFORM ON THEIR OWN. CERTAIN MECHANICS HAVE EVEN CHOSE NOT TO PERFORM THIS REPAIR AND THE ONES WHICH ARE ABLE TO, CHARGE IN THE $2000+ RANGE. WHEN CONTACTING NISSAN ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT HAD SAID IT WOULD HAVE TO HAVE BEEN REPAIRED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. ONCE THE TIMING IS EFFECTED, THE ENGINE AND DRIVE TRAIN SEEM TO HAVE DROPPED IN PERFORMANCE IN WHICH I HAVE VERY SLUGGISH ACCELERATION AND CANNOT READY SPEEDS OVER 30 MPH. THERE IS NO WAY I WAS ABLE TO EVEN CHECK IF THE TIMING CHAIN SYSTEM HAD SIGNS OF GOING BAD, AND IF THERE WAS A RECALL, THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS. THIS FAULTY SYSTEM CREATES AN UNSAFE, UNRELIABLE MACHINE WHICH NISSAN SHOULD TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY.

IN 2008, MY CAR STATED HAVING DIFFICULTY STARTING FOR A FEW WEEKS THEN MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS FOR THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I CHECKED WITH NISSAN AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2005 ALTIMAS BUT MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE CAMSHAFT WAS REPLACE. LAST WEEK MY CAR TRANSMISSION STARTED JERKING AND SHORTLY AFTER THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I FORWARDED AN E-MAIL TO NISSAN ASKING WHAT WAS THE PARAMETERS OF THE RECALL AS THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME MY CAR HAD THIS PROBLEM. THEY RESPONDED THAT MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND TO SEEK ASSISTANCE FROM MY LOCAL DEALER. I HAVE DEALT WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN THE PAST AND THERE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE. I HAVE READ THAT THIS SENOR CAN CAUSE MY CAR TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. I AM IN FEAR THIS WILL HAPPEN ON A NYC HIGHWAY, IN A DESERTED OR HIGH CRIME AREA. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE THAT WOULD MAKE NISSAN PAY FOR THIS $400.00 PLUS REPAIR?

TAKATA RECALL. I BOUGHT MY CAR EXACTLY 11 MONTHS AGO ON FEBRUARY 2015. I FIRST NOTICED WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR THAT IT JERKED WHEN PUTTING IT IN DRIVE AND REVERSE, I TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SALESMAN CONVINCED ME IT IS NOTHING. IT GOT WORSE OVER TIME. I FINALLY TOOK THE CAR TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHO SAID MOTOR MOUNTS NEED REPLACING. I THEN FOUND A NISSAN THREAD ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION AND AUTOMATICALLY WAS ABLE TO SEE THAT MY CAR IS DOING 90% OF THE ISSUES LISTED. IT NOW JERKS WHEN I PUT IN DRIVE, REVERSE, WHEN I'M COMING TO A STOP, WHEN I PUSH THE BREAK, AND WHEN I EXCEED MORE THEN 60 MPH IT JERKS. AFTER READING TONS OF THREADS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IT SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON AMONGST THE NISSAN ALTIMA 05S. I AM SCARED MY TRANSMISSION WILL GO OUT AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, I WAS TOLD THIS PROBLEM WAS NOTHING BUT NOW IT DEFINITELY SEEMS LIKE AN ISSUE THAT NISSAN JUDGED PUSHED UNDER THE RUG AND KEPT TELLING ME WAS NOTHING.

THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER IS FAILING/HAS FAILED, THERE IS AN ENGINE KNOCKING NOISE THAT CAUSES THE 3.5L V6 TO SOUND LIKE A DIESEL, AS OTHERS HAVE DESCRIBED. IT COMES DIRECTLY FROM THE LOCATION OF THE TIMING CHAIN. I DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS OR HOURS AND HOURS IT REQUIRES TO REPLACE THE TENSIONER JUST YET. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR AT LEAST 15,000 MILES. IF THE TIMING CHAIN JUMPS BECAUSE THE TENSIONER WAS NOT A QUALITY PART AND BROKE, THE ENGINE WILL LOCK UP, AS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS, AND POSSIBLY CAUSE A WRECK IF OTHER CARS ARE AROUND. NISSAN SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO INVESTIGATE AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. THAT IS ALL I ASK. I WANTED TO REPORT THAT I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE FOR MY VEHICLE AS OTHERS OF THE SAME KIND DO, SO IT CAN GET FIXED BEFORE SOMETHING DANGEROUS HAPPENS TO ME OR MY WIFE.

LAST YEAR, I NOTICED MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAD APPEARED. I HAD THE CODE CHECKED AND IT WAS THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. I HAD THIS PART REPLACED AND IT DROVE FINE FOR A WHILE. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, THIS LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE SENSOR HAD GONE BAD AGAIN. THIS CAUSES MY CAR SO DRIVE VERY SLUGGISH AND GO DEAD WHEN DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SAW WHERE NISSAN HAD A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR THIS PART ON THE SAME YEAR/MAKE/MODEL OF MY CAR. I CONTACTED THEM AND THEY SAID MY CAR WASN'T COVERED UNDER THEIR RECALL AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS GONE BAD. I THINK MY CAR SHOULD BE COVERED AS WELL.

MY CAR STARTED MAKING AN ENGINE RATTLING NOISE AS IF I NEEDED OIL. I TOOK MY CAR TO A MECHANIC AND HAD THE OIL AND FILTER CHANGED SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THE NOISE CONTINUED AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THE NOISE HAS GOTTEN LOUDER AND MY CAR HESITATES WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE. SOMETIMES WHEN I TRY TO START MY CAR, IT HESITATES AND WILL NOT START. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE MY CRANKSHAFT WAS GOING BAD. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET FOR THOSE KINDS OF PROBLEM WITH MY CAR AND SAW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ITEM, BUT MY VIN DIDN'T SHOW THAT MINE WAS ONE OF THE ONES THAT WAS RECALLED. I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE, I BOUGHT IT USED FROM A CAR DEALERSHIP. I NEED FOR THIS PROBLEM TO BE REPAIRED WITHOUT COST TO ME BECAUSE THIS IS NOT MY FAULT.

SO BESIDES THE FACT THAT MY FLOOR BOARD ON MY DRIVERS SIDE HAS A HUGE HOLE IN IT, THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR HAS CAUSE ME ENOUGH PROBLEMS TO WHERE I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS ISSUE. THE VEHICLE IDLES ROUGH, WHEN ACCELERATING IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS ABOUT TO SHUT OFF, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU CHANGE THE SENSOR. I'VE HAD MINE CHANGED FOUR TIMES. I AM ACTUALLY SICK OF THIS VEHICLE NOW AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN. TO MAKE IT WORSE I CAN'T TAKE THE CAR OUT OF TOWN BECAUSE IT WILL GET HOT THEN THE CLUTCH STICKS TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE TO LIFT IT WITH MY FOOT AND IT STILL WON'T ENGAGE, IT LOSES ALL PRESSURE. SO DRIVING LONG DISTANCE IS OUT OF THE QUESTION. SOMEONE NEEDS TO FIX THIS BEFORE THERE IS AN ACCIDENT. I ALMOST GOT HIT BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET MY CAR TO GO INTO THIRD GEAR. WHEN I DO GET IN AN ACCIDENT I WILL SUE NISSAN AND ANYBODY ELSE WHO KNEW ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND SAT BACK AND DID NOTHING.

MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING A WHINING NOISE AT IDLE AND ALSO WHILE DRIVING. UPON FURTHER REVIEW AND EXTENSIVE ONLINE RESEARCH AT MAXIMA FORUM, I HAVE FOUND OUT THERE'S A DESIGN FLAW ON THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONERS ON THESE V6 ENGINES. IF NOT REPAIRED CAN RESULT IN EXTENSIVE REPAIRS AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF ENGINE. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE IS PAST THE WARRANTY MILEAGE. I DON'T KNOW IF NISSAN WILL GRANT THE FREE REPAIR SINCE IT IS A DESIGN FLAW BY THE MANUFACTURER.

CAR SHUDDERED AND RPM DROPPED AND THEN CAME BACK UP TO CURRENT RPM LEVEL. CAME TO STOP LIGHT AND VEHICLE WAS THEN PUT INTO LIMP MODE. WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND RPM'S WOULD NOT GO OVER 2000. PULLED OVER AND TURNED CAR OFF. RESTARTED CAR AND BEGAN TO TRY AND DRIVE IT AGAIN. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. TRIED TO MANUALLY SHIFT THE AUTOMATIC TRANS AND IT WOULD HIT HARD UPON GEAR SHIFTS BUT WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME THE REMAINING FEW MILES.. BROUGHT VEHICLE IN TO A MECHANICS SHOP THE NEXT MORNING AND THE CODES INDICATE CAM POSITION SENSOR FAILURES. I SEE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND A RECALL FOR THIS UNDER R2022 BUT OF COURSE MY VEHICLE IS NOT LISTED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND ALL VEHICLES SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL AS IT IS COMPLETELY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT COMES OUT OF NOWHERE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I AM WAITING FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM IS COMPLETELY RESOLVED AT MY EXPENSE. ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

I WAS WAITING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT TO TURN GREEN AND WHEN I STARTED GOING AND MY CAR MADE A LOUD NOISE SO I THOUGHT SOMEBODY HIT ME. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR,BUT NO HIT TO MY CAR. I THOUGHT THAT WAS WEIRD BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. IT DIDN'T HAPPENED AGAIN UNTIL A FEW MONTHS LATER. MOST OF THE TIME WHEN I START DRIVING I HEAR A BOOM SOUND AND I FEEL THAT MY ENGINE IS GOING TO BREAK DOWN. IT FEELS LIKE MY GEARS ARE NOT CONNECTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND OR IF THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT CONNECTING WITH MY ENGINE. IF I START DRIVING AND THEN I SPEED UP, MY CAR MAKES THE BOOM NOISE. THE SAME HAPPENS WHEN I'M COMING DOWN THE ROAD AT A REGULAR SPEED AND I SLOW DOWN BECAUSE TRAFFIC IS SLOWING, BUT THEN WE CONTINUE AT THE REGULAR SPEED MY CAR MAKES THE BOOM NOISE LIKE THE GEARS DIDN'T CONNECT. MY CAR IS AN AUTOMATIC. I TOOK MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME TO CHECK WITH NISSAN FOR ANY RECALLS BECAUSE MY CAR GAVE HIM A MOTOR CODE P0726 WHICH HAS TO DUE WITH THE MOTOR'S CRANKSHAFT. HE TOLD ME THAT MY ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ARE NOT CONNECTING. I SEARCH TO SEE IF ANYBODY ELSE HAD THAT PROBLEM AND IT HAS BEEN PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUE FOR THIS PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY THERE'S A RECALL SOON TO PREVENT ANY ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

AT 80K MILES, THE 3.5L INFINITY/350Z MOTOR THAT HAS BEEN *VERY* WELL TAKEN CARE OF HAD A KNOWN ISSUE OCCUR WHICH CAUSED THE VALVE TO COME LOOSE IN THE ENGINE. THERE IS A PROBLEM WHERE SOME SCREWS WHICH HOLD A BUTTERFLY VALVE TOGETHER WIGGLE LOOSE AND IS INGESTED INTO THE ENGINE. THIS CAUSES THE VALVE TO GET DAMAGED AND FALL OUT RESULTING IN TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE. NISSAN KNOWS THIS OCCURS AND IS UNWILLING TO HELP ME WITH THE REPAIR. WHEN THIS OCCURRED TO ME, I WAS IN A VERY BAD SITUATION AND NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR, I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GAIN CONTROL AGAIN HOWEVER THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE TO THE CAR WHEN I NEARLY WENT INTO THE DITCH. I HAVE A POLICE REPORT AS WELL. SO NISSAN KNOWS THEIR TOP OF THE LINE ENGINES CAN WITH NO WARNING FAIL WHICH AT ANY SPEED CAN BE A POTENTIAL SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE FIX IS SIMPLE TO PREVENT IT, SECURE THOSE SCREWS WITH SOME GLUE OR LOCK TIGHT, BUT IF THEY ADMIT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW, THEN THEY'D BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGED ENGINES AND THEY SEEM TO PREFER TO DENY IT. I JUST SPENT A WEEK TRYING TO GET THEM TO TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY AND THEY WONT. THIS IS BEYOND A WARRANTY ISSUE IN MY OPINION IF IT CAN CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOOSE POWER AND LOOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. IT HAPPENS QUICKLY AND THE IMPACT ON CONTROL IS IMMEDIATE. NOT SAFE AT ANY SPEED. SO THIS COMPLAINT IS ONE OF SAFETY AND ONE OF HAVING TO COVER A TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE NO MATTER HOW WELL YOU TAKE CAR OF YOUR ENGINE. *TR

ON AUGUST 18, 2014, AFTER DROPPING MY SON OFF AT SCHOOL. I CAME TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED, I STARTED TO TAKE OFF AND NOTICED THE CAR HAS SHUT DOWN. I EVENTUALLY MADE IT HOME WITH THE CAR GOING A VERY LOW SPEED AND THEN SPEED UP, BUT WHEN CAR TO A START THE ENGINE STALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS PUT ON A COMPUTER TO SEE WHAT THE DIAGNOSIS WERE AND IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT SENSORS AND CRANKSHAFT SENSOR COSTING $80 DOLLARS FOR TWO AND $70 FOR ANOTHER, HOWEVER THESE ITEMS HAS BEEN CHANGED ALONG WITH A TUNE UP AND THE CAR IS DOING THE SAME. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE COMPUTER, I NOTICED THERE WERE RECALLS ON THE CRANKSHAFT SENSORS AND THE ECM. I CONTACTED NISSAN DEALER, AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT SHOWING SO THE PROBLEM HAD TO BEEN DONE, BECAUSE I'M THE SECOND OWNER. IT'S FUNNY HOW THIS PROBLEM COMES ABOUT AFTER 4 1/2 YEARS OF HAVING THIS VEHICLE AND THE RECALL SUPPOSE TO HAVE BEEN TAKING CARE OF WITH THE FIRST OWNER. THIS IS AN INCONVENIENCE AND IT'S FRUSTRATING. THERE IS ALSO RUSTING OF THE FLOOR UNDER THE CAR, YOU CAN SEE THE FLOOR COMING DOWN FROM UNDER THE CAR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AT THE COST OF THE DEALERS AND NOT THE OWNERS. THIS IS DANGEROUS, YOU CAN BE DRIVING AT A SPEED AND THE CAR JUST STOP, WHICH CAN CAUSE A VERY BAD ACCIDENT. *TR

HI, I AM THE OWNER OF A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE 2008. I REVIEWED SERVICE RECORDS FROM 2005 PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE. THERE HAS BEEN AN EXTREMELY LARGE AMOUNT OF ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE MOST RECENT OF WHICH IS THE "GREY" AREA OF THE ECM ISSUE IN COORDINATION WITH FAMOUS THE CAMSHAFT CRANKSHAFT FAULT P0355 & P0131. I'M AN ENGINEER AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THE MECHANICS OF A VEHICLE. THIS SENSOR WAS A FAULTY DESIGN FROM THE BEGINNING IN WHICH OIL COULD ENTER INSIDE THE SENSOR, THEREFORE CAUSING A SHORT AND DISABLING THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION. THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO ME AND WAS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE. TO FIX THE ISSUE CHEAPLY, NISSAN ISSUED A RECALL TO REPROGRAM THE ECM IN ORDER TO RECOGNIZE THE ?FAULTY? CRANKSHAFT SENSOR PART. BUT IN ORDER TO SAVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, NISSAN WOULD NOT INCLUDE THE WARRANTIED REPLACEMENT OF THE FAULTY CRANKSHAFT SENSOR DESIGN (MAGNET SENSOR). INSTEAD, THE CONSUMER (MYSELF) WOULD HAVE TO PAY BETWEEN $300 & $450 TO HAVE THE SENSOR REPLACED WITH THE ?NEW & IMPROVED VERSION?. NEW AND IMPROVED MEANS THE PROPERLY DESIGNED VERSION. THE INITIAL DESIGN SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT IT WASN'T. IT DOESN'T TAKE AN ENGINEER TO FIGURE THIS OUT BUT I AM ONE AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THE ?BIG PICTURE? OF THE RECALL AND LACK OF INCLUSION OF THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR REPAIRS. I AM REQUESTING NISSAN TO COVER THE FULL COST OF THE CAMSHAFT & CRANKSHAFT SENSOR & THE ASSOCIATED LABOR. I WAS PUT IN HARM?S WAY DURING THE INITIAL RECALL ISSUE IN WHICH MY CAR SHUT OFF WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. THAT IS A BAD ENOUGH EXPERIENCE. I AM NOT WILLING TO ALSO PAY NISSAN $400 TO REPAIR THE FAULTY SENSOR WHICH WAS A LARGE PART OF WHY THIS OCCURRED IN THE FIRST PLACE. *TR

DRIVING TO WORK...AT 25 MPH .... THE ENGINE CAME ON .....ALONG WITH THE OIL LIGHT....AND ALL OF THE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD....AND THEN THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP I THE MIDDLE OF STREET. THERE WERE FIVE CARS BEHIND THAT HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING MY CAR. *TR

THE FOLLOWING DAY I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE RECALL RESOLVED. THEY ADVISED THE RECALL ONLY COVERS REPROGRAMMING COMPUTER NOT REPLACING DEFECTIVE CRANK SENSOR. I FEEL THAT REPROGRAMMING COMPUTER WILL NOT RESOLVE SAFETY ISSUE AS THE SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE AND COULD FAIL EVEN WITH REPROGRAMMING COMPUTER. I WAS CHARGED 96.00 DOLLARS TO HAVE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED. DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE PART. TO MY UNDERSTANDING MANY OTHER ALTIMA OWNERS EXPERIENCE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND ARE FORCED TO PAY FOR DEFECTIVE PARTS THAT FAIL.DEALER DID NOT OFFER TO REPROGRAM COMPUTER THEY INSISTED THAT ONLY REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE PART WOULD RESOLVE MY ISSUE WHICH WAS NOT COVERED BY RECALL. *TR

THIS RECALL NUMBER, #03V084 DESCRIBES MY SITUATION PRECISELY. MY VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 97,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING (OVER THE LAST COURSE OF A YEAR) SEVERE OIL CONSUMPTION. SOON AFTER I CHANGED MY OIL IN MAY OF 2013, I BEGAN TO NOTICE UNUSUAL ENGINE NOISE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND HE DISCOVERED THAT MY MOTOR WAS ONLY RUNNING ON A QUART AND A HALF OF OIL. THE MECHANIC REPLENISHED MY OIL TO ITS NORMAL LEVEL AND SINCE THEN, THE MOTOR CONSUMES OIL AT AN ABNORMALLY RAPID RATE. ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA??S RECALL #03V084, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER DISINTEGRATES AND THE PARTICLES OF THE CONVERTER ARE DRAWN BACK INTO THE MOTOR, WHICH CAUSES SCARING ON THE CYLINDER WALLS.

DEAR SIR/MADAM, I WAS CHECKING OUTSTANDING RECALLS FOR NISSAN ALTIMA 2005 SL MODELS AND I FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR ALL ALTIMA'S BUILT-IN JAN'14 2004 - OCT23 '2006. FOR CRANKSHAFT SENSOR ISSUE. I SEE A LETTER IN SAFERCAR.GOV FOR 49 CFR PART 573. I SEE CORRESPONDENCE LETTERS BETWEEN NISSAN AND NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. CAN YOU PLEASE SUGGEST NISSAN TO FIX MY CAR FOR THIS RECALL. I AM SEEING "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" AND ERROR CODE I AM SEEING IS P0335 I.E FOR SAME RECALL. YOU CAN REACH ME AT[XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS DRIVING A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA (SE-R V6 WITH ONLY 66,000 MILES ON IT) AT APPROXIMATELY 35-40 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH MY WIFE AND OUR 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT. I TRIED TO START THE ENGINE RIGHT AWAY. IT'S NOW HARD TO START UNLIKE BEFORE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE STARTING A CAR WITH A WEAK BATTERY ON IT BUT I KNOW MY BATTERY IS STILL GOOD THAT'S WHY I SUSPECTED SOMETHING WENT WRONG WITH THE ENGINE. FINALLY AFTER 3 SECONDS THE ENGINE STARTED BUT THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT TURNED ON. WHEN I HIT THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR DIDN'T ACCELERATE AS IT DID BEFORE THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED. THE FOLLOWING DAY I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT. AFTER RUNNING SOME DIAGNOSTICS, THEY FOUND OUT THAT THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORS AND CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I ASK IF THERE WAS ANY RECALL ISSUE REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND THEY SAID NONE. THE CALCULATED TOTAL COST WAS $631.00. AFTER FURTHER NEGOTIATION THE PRICE WENT DOWN TO $550.00. WHILE WAITING FOR THE SERVICE TO BE FINISHED I BROWSED THE NET AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WERE ALSO THE SAME PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED BY OTHER NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN IF THERE'S REALLY NO RECALL FOR THIS DESPITE OF MANY CONSUMER COMPLAINTS AND THEY EVEN PRINTED ME A RESULT THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NO CAMPAIGN FOR THIS ISSUE. I WENT HOME WONDERING WHY THERE IS NO "RECALL" MADE TO FIX THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT IF I WAS DRIVING IN A HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH AND THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN? *TR

NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V527000 SUMMARY: ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 2.5L ENGINE, THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CAN OVERHEAT CAUSING A BRIEF INTERRUPTION IN THE SIGNAL OUTPUT FROM THE SENSOR WITH REGARD TO ABOVE RECALL DETAILS, WHEN I PROVIDED THE VIN TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THEY DON'T SEE ANY RECALLS FOR IT. BUT IT IS QUITE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH THIS MECHANICAL PROBLEM IN THE CAR. APPRECIATE IF APPROPRIATE SAFETY CARE IS TAKEN BY MANUFACTURER. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 ALTIMA SE-R 3.5 V6 I WAS LEAVING A MCDONALD'S PARKING LOT AND AS SOON AS I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE THERE WAS A HARD JERK AND THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT ENGAGE PROPERLY. THE CAR REVERSED AFTER A COUPLE SECONDS AND WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE A HARD JERK AND THE CAR WAS IN 5TH GEAR. NO OTHER GEARS WERE AVAILABLE. I PARKED THE CAR AND SHUT IF OFF...AFTER A FEW SECONDS I STARTED IT BACK UP AND THREW IT IN REVERSE AND GOT THE SAME RESULT, I PUT IT IN DRIVE THEN TIPTRONIC AND SAW A 5 (5TH GEAR). I CALLED A COUPLE FRIENDS AND MECHANICS THEY SAID IT A FAIL SAFE. SO I WAITED AGAIN AND TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT TOOK A GOOD 10-15 SECONDS TO CRANK AND AFTER I REVERSED THE CAR WOULD DIE. I WAS ONLY TRYING TO GET HOME (1 MIKE DOWN THE ROAD) BECAUSE I DID NOT TRUST THIS CAR TO BRING ME ANYWHERE AT THIS POINT. AFTER A COUPLE START THEN SHUT DOWNS AND LETTING THE CAR SIT FOR A FEW I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR RUNNING AND DRIVING IN ALL THE GEARS. I GOT ON THE BOULEVARD AND I WAS GOING ABOUT 20-30 AND THE CAR DIES ON ME. LUCKILY IT WAS THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND THE WAS NO TRAFFIC. I RESTART THE CAR AND ITS RUNNING IN 5TH GEAR FOR ABOUT 10-15 SECONDS AND THEN I SEE MY RPMS GOING UP AS SPEED GOING DOWN. THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT ENGAGING AND I KNEW SOMETHING WAS DEFINITELY WRONG AT THIS POINT. I PULL TO THE SIDE AND POP THE HOOD, THE WAS SO MUCH HEAT BUT THE CAR WAS NOT OVERHEATING. I CALL MY MECHANIC AND HE SAYS LET IT SIT A BIT. 20 MINUTES LATER, CAR COOLED DOWN A BIT AND A RELIABLE FRIEND AND MECHANIC COME HELP ME PUSH THE CAR INTO A PARKING LOT. WE LATER FIND OUT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. FLUID WAS STILL RED, NOT BURNED BUT SOMETHING ELSE WAS GOING ON INSIDE. $2000+ LATER AND A REPLACEMENT TRANNY THE CAR IS UP BUT STILL DYING AT RANDOM TIMES, WON'T START. DIAGNOSIS CRANK AND CAMSHAFT SENSORS. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO GOES STRAIGHT TO 5TH GEAR AND CAR STALLS IN TRAFFIC. *TR

NISSAN NORTH AMERICA CAN A DO A BETTER JOB WHEN ADDRESSING THEIR RECALLS RATHER THAN PROVIDING A BAND AID SOLUTION TO THEIR RECALLS.
