My car has been diagnosed with a faulty crank and cam sensors, catalytic converter as well. today i took car into shop because it has been burning excessive amounts of oil. i have to put as much as 4 quarts of oil into car a week. i called nissan and they indicate that their are recalls for this problem but my car is not one of the vins recalled. *tr
Vehicle stalling while in motion usually while slowing to stop or when accelerating after being stopped. ses light came on today when it stalled and i took it straight to dealership. they stated it was crank and cam sensors. they replaced them and charged me $260. had to have engine replaced at 19,xxx miles under a recall. car has 58,7xx miles now and this time i had to pay. go online and find in excess of 160 consumer reports of this very cam and crank problem and everyone having to pay out of pocket for it when it is clearly a defect especially being that my engine was replaced so the defect is not just in the original engines. service dept. made no mention of there being a recall to me but being that i never got the recall notice when i had to have the engine replaced at 19,xxx (and i bought my car new and remained at same residence) i decided to just check online to see if others were having cam and crank problems. comes a no surprise to see that others are having the same issues. i am mute therefore can't call you guys so i am filing my complaint online. please note that i entered phone numbers only because i could not advance without doing so. please send any and all replies via e-mail if speaking to someone who can represent me is an issue. *tr
2006 altima 2.5 s that is a lemon customer wants to have the car replaced under the lemon law**cc the consumer stated the vehicle has no start problem. the vehicle would start up when she began her day, but at unpredictable times. there is a grinding noise under the gas pedal while accelerating as well as when coming to a stop. the dealer stated the vibration/grinding noise was coming from the tires. all the windows and doors will lock and the remote keyless entry does not seem to work. the cd player and radio are not playing properly. the radio has a lot of static. the cd player makes the cd's sound like they are scratched. *jb
I received a letter asking me to bring my car for the engine recall on my '06 nissan altima. unfortunately my vehicle was affected, if i didn't proceed with the recall request my vehicle could lead to an engine fire. my car was in the shop for less than 24hours, it's engine was replaced with a re-built engine. i do not know if old engine is available. *jb
I purchased my 2006 nissan altima se-r around 4/18/2008 with around 34,000 miles. a few days later, i noticed the clutch pedal was sticking down to the floor and wouldn't come back up. before i could take it to the dealer, the car clutch gave up on me and had to get it tow to the dealer. dealer then replace the clutch ($1000) after a few days, the clutch pedal was still sticking to the floor, so i took it back to the dealer. dealer had the car for a few hours and then called me to say it was done (fix) after that, the car was fine for a while. a month ago, around 5/15/2010, clutch pedal started to stick to the floor again and wouldn't come up. i called a mechanic and he explained to me over the phone that most likely it's the master cylinder or slave that went out and needs replacement. per this link ---> http://www.nissanforums.com/altima-se-r/112659-clutch-master-cylinder-trouble.html too many people are having the same issue and the nissan dealers are pretty much saying that there's nothing it can be done, and on my opinion, this is a safety issue that needs to be fix. nissan (mechanics) should know their cars and be able to have good judgment and say if something needs attention instead of telling us (customers) everything is fine, when is not. *tr
