Recently reported ENGINE problems on 2006 Nissan Altima

Excessive oil consumption. my car starts to get difficult to drive about every 200-300 miles. start to hear a clunk, when i add oil it is ok but only gets 16-18 miles a gallon vs the 28-30 it should get. engine is burning through 2 quarts of oil every week. this make model and year already has a recall on it but the web site is saying that my vin number has no open recalls. this car is the same as the cars covered by the recall. it can't be a coincidence that my vehicle and hundreds of others, from the same year are doing the same thing but. nissan is only covering certain ones. nissan needs to fix this problem for all 2006 altima's with excessive oil consumption. it is costing $12 a week fir oil and my gas mileage is down by 1/3.

My drivers seat is stuck reclined and it won't move anymore (parked).my drivers door won't unlock (parked). my engine continuously rattles and the car stalls (driving normal street or highway).the fuel gauge doesn't work accurately (parked driving on street highway or idiling). the brakes and rotors are constantly getting replaced and squeaked since the day i got the car ( stopping).

Crankshaft sensor when i was driving my car at a speed of 40 miles an hour my car shut off check engine light came on car would not start how to have the car towed the mechanic pulled the code it came up as cam shaft sensor and crank shaft sensor i asked mechanic why the car shut off while driving and almost causing me to get into an accident he told me that will happen when the crankshaft and camshaft sensors go off

I have had to replace my engine twice, my emergency breaks stopped working and the i think it's called the transmission but anyways my car tends to jerk and hesitates to crank sometimes. i have had my starter looked at and replaced and also battery but it still happens. i have had three different mechanics look into it and the couldn't figure it out.

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.
