Vehicle tries to start but won't. vehicle is stationary while trying to start. battery is fine, there's enough gas, it tries to start but won't turn over.

When i drive the vehicle, the engine light constantly pops on and off the car consumes a large amount of oil each week, i have to check the oil and keep a case of oil with the filter in my truck to constantly fill it up. the car drains gas like crazy, and it's slow and driving and sluggish. the car has cut off on me in the middle of driving where i had to spend over $500 to get it repaired.

After the engine has started it may shut down randomly while driving. if the car is shut down for any reason it will not start back up for several hours. this is exactly the same as a previous recall on the car from nhtsa campaign number: 07v527000. it has shut down twice now while driving at less then 40 miles an hour.

Vehicle was being drove down major highway when all of the sudden it loses all power, get off highway on edge put it in park, turn key completely off and try to restart car fails to start check engine light comes on and stays. get code pulled shows crankshaft position sensor a. get the crankshaft position sensor replaced and code cleared. head home with car, does same exact thing that happened while on the highway in town. have had everything else looked at and no one knows what to do to fix the problem. car acts as if it's hard to start ever since this happened. definitely won't be taking it out of town until something is done. car will sit and crank and crank then eventually decides to start. starter isn't issue it was previously replaced not even 2 months ago due to it going out.

Car was sputtering at intersections and hard to start. took to mechanic twice & he could not find anything wrong; said he thought it might be a recall problem; say where there was a problem with the wiring harness on full pump shorting out; part is on national recall; service engine light remained on

My car briefly stalls when i drive highway in everyday. mechanics said it is crankshaft sensor issue. i changed it with my expense in 2013 but same problem happens again. when i call nissan, it said my car is not under recall.

Check engine light keeps coming on, stating low fuel sensoe out. $1200.00 worht of work, replaced the fuel pump and sensor. now they are stating it is the wiring harness on fuel pump shorting out. part is on national recall.

The vehicle threw a code for the camshaft sensor had that replaced then the vehicle threw a code for the crankshaft sensor. midas replaced two of them still could not clear the code. the vehicle will start in drive but it will sputter while stopped like it is going to stall. when slowing down or coming to a stop the car will shut off and is very difficult to get started again.

Nissan altima 2006 repeatedly fails to start. once we got it started we would drive a short distance and then it would die out. very scary as we were on a traffic roadway. we proceeded to a service center to get a new battery and alternator but that only started the vehicle for a few moments then it died out again. repair technician informed us it was the nissan computer box indicating it was reading everything "backwards" and thus the car could not determine how to start the car anymore. the service center got in touch with a nissan dealership and ordered a new computer box. the new computer did not work either! we are stuck with an inoperable vehicle. help!
