Problems with 2005 Nissan Altima ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Recently ive been getting the red airbag signal that keeps flashing and wont go off. ive checked the fuses. wiring. ran diahnostics on it for that and the following issues as well. the car makes a high pitch sound when its just ideling that seems to come feom underneath the car maybe towards back middle ive gotten a new fuel pump checked wiring fuses and bought other new parts and have been unable to figure out what it is. also the gas gauge wont read after the half way point. ive tried to reset it calibrate it and nothing. during cold days the gas gauge reads correctly until the car warms up. mo ths have gone by and nothing so far

Takara recall. sensors are malfunctioning also my muffler is going. check engine has been on but started blinking when sensor's started acting up. cant afford to fix this being how i'm a single mother and low income. i herd about this recall on my 05 altima. and had to check it out.

I bought the car with the car letting out alot of exhaust.doesnt go past 35mph

There is a recall for 2005 nissan altima because of over heating due to a failing crankshat/camshaft position sensor which causes car to stall unexpectedly and cause vehicle to crash. well my vehicle is not on the recall list but yet have the same issue and almost was rear ended by another vehicle due to sensor getting hot and causing car to stall and decrease speed dramatically. and with nissan not recalling my vin for the same obvious reasons for the recall. so i'm being forced to drive this unsafe car that i've let nissan know is defected, thus endangering myself and the public. it's as though i have to be in an accident and then have to sue nissan because of neglet and allowing one of their vehicles continue to operate knowing that there is an issue with its safety. so i may be forced to have problem fixed but would like to be reimbursed for repairs.

Takata recall my car keeps dying out of no where. the battery light is on, the oil light is on, the service engine light is on. i went to oreillys and said it was the crankshaft position sensor:

I own a 2005 nissan. i rely on my car daily to get to medical appointments. the car stalls in park all lights start blinking then dies. has happened while driving as well the car will move but you cant accelerate on the pedal this happened in a traffic circle my fiance and two friends were with me at the time. this is very dangerous i could get into a bad accident and die or even kill my passengers. i have had a mechanic reset my ecm but this keeps happening i have tried to fix the problem on my own and have had no luck. i own a 2005 nissan altima 3.5se v6 four door sedan and i feel unsafe driving. something needs to be done i was hoping my experience would be awesome ive always liked the cars now honestly im scared to drive in it and wont reccomend anyone getting one. i havent had any accident or anything. me having this car is required medically. also check engine light came on one day stayed on for a month then just shut off so now i have no clue whats going on with my car.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan altima. while driving approximately 65 mph, a warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle lost power and stalled. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the vin was unknown. the failure mileage was 180,000.

Car shuts down no power will not start. back up on the freeway it just shuts off with no warning this is not the first time this problem will kill me or ppl around me on the road. it will stop and you can't put on your brakes nor steer to move to a save place

My car is being illegally remotely hacked by an i.t. technician by the name of [xxx] who is illegally hacking my vehicle with bluetooth. his bluetooth device number that comes up is [xxx] (wy stands for the first 2 letters of his last name, 23 is part of his date of birth which is [xxx].) his # [xxx]. his address: [xxx]. his email: [xxx]. [xxx] is dangerously hacking my vehicle several times a day. [xxx]is very dangerous he is hacking my car almost daily, several times daily. ***he does everything listed in the fbi ic3 articled called "motor vehicles increasingly vulnerable to remote exploits." *** he has disabled my engine even causing 2 car accidents recently in june & july 2017 (when i was driving under 10 miles per hour), he has disabled my brakes, he has hacked my traction at least 100 times and the light comes on stating tcs off/slip indicating that the traction is disabled-the police told me to press the button on the dashboard that says tcs off when this happens and it will reset itself-but it doesn't because [xxx] is remotely hacking my car. this happens when i am driving at a slow pace usually under 10 miles an hour is when he disables my engine completely remotely and he caused 2 car accidents by doing this. but he disables the traction at any speed or even before i turn the car on, he disables it with bluetooth and when i turn the car on, i have no traction. he is clearly trying to harm/hurt me. why else would anyone do this? he is clearly sick and his sick dangerous behavior is escalating. everyday illegally dangerously remotely hacks my vehicle multiple times, disabled the traction. as you know, car hacking is very dangerous-he doesn't care. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

I was driving myself and co worker home from work. while driving down a city street my car just stalled out and would not start. i could have been on the highway, our lives were put at risk due to a defect in the cam shaft position censor on my 2005 nissian altima. the consumer would like an update on the investigation into the camshaft position censor and the fuel pump. the consumer believed the failure was due to an incomplete recall that was performed on the camshaft censor. *js

Hi how are you? someone recently broke into my vehicle and since then there have been some incidents of remote vehicle hacking which are extremely scary to me and as you know, illegal. can you please check this for me? i read an article about this and was told to i did email the fbi too. my vehicle identification number is: [xxx] and i have a light green nissan altima 2005. my license plate number is: [xxx]. i believe the person who did this is someone in the information technology department at my job. i work at: [xxx] the information technology technician works remote in albany ny from his home. his name is [xxx]. his phone number is [xxx]. he has also been electronically stalking me 24/7. i don't want anyone remotely controlling my vehicle ever! this is scary! what kind of person would do that. please check this for me. i don't want anyone remotely controlling my car. please check this for me to ensure my safety and if necessary can i have new codes for my vehicle. i don't want this person to kill me on the road by turning my engine off. thank you so much. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Takata recall while driving on the highway my car started making a sound coming from the front of my car i turned down the music to listen to the sound. as i was driving the car made one last sound then the car shut off while i was driving so i had to pull over on the side of the highway. i got out to check the car and noticed it was smoking i looked under the car and noticed it was on fire. i grabbed my kids out the car and my belongings and walked down the side of the highway just in case the car blew up. i called the ambulance and notified them about the car. about 5 minutes later my whole entire car was in flames. as i was on the side of the highway someone stopped and let me and my kids sit in the car until my ride came. the fire fighters came and put the fire out. they towed the car and we left.

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. they told me to report this issue to nhtsa.

My gas guage read half, while turning car ran out of gas. power steering and brakes failed when engine shut off. fortunately i was turning into inside lane on 8 lane street because it took all 5 lines to safel roll to stop. after asking nissan 700 to check fuel system senso 4/bolt 1 plug solid piece. went to aaa $150 to check and determined guage not sensor. $600 to maybe repair part. called nissan 6 bolts 1 plug to replace guage module with 3rd party repaired used module from another state. module has to be sent prior to 3rd party sending part. internet horror stories. 6-60 day turn around and vehicle cannot be driven while part is out of car. main reason: speedometer and odometer are part of module. module requires reprogramming to current vehicle mileage before moving. nissan should carry parts in stock due to both dangerous safety and mileage issues related to failure of either module ar fuel sensor. i am pretty strong although 66 but youger, female or older folks in similar situations could end up in building, tree or anothe vehicle. not knowing when car is die without warning is a dire safet issue.. recalls should be enforced by failure numbers, not %age of failures per model. 50% of a model that sold 200 is not as dangerous as 50% of 100,000 sold. the 2005 altima ser was a very limited model of altima but oem parts should be available until at least a majority of them are off the road when the relate to safety. nissan seems to get away with out recalls for safety recalls, high frequency issues, service guaging and from what i hear known lemon problems. why????

The car's electrical system failed and while driving. the brake and battery lights kept going off and on. there was also a clanking sound. i stopped and let car cool. continued driving and noticed fire from my rear view mirror. ran out of car and it caught fire 30 seconds after followed by couple of explosions.

My son was driving down the interstate when he heard a loud noise, then saw smoke and stopped the car, when he raised the hood the engine was on fire tried to put it out with water after he saw he could not stop the flames called 911 the care totally burned nothing left except frame the fire dept. put out the fire but the car was already burned.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan altima. the contact stated that while driving at 25 mph, the vehicle stalled and there was smoke coming from the front of the vehicle. the contact lifted the hood and the engine was on fire. the entire warning panel illuminated. there were no injuries reported or medical attention required. a police report was filed. the vehicle was destroyed. the vehicle was towed to the contacts residence. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 124,000.

The car stopped the cam shaft sensors were bad.and the rattle in my passenger side cant find the problem. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan altima. while driving, the vehicle stalled without warning. the vehicle was taken to a dealer. the technician diagnosed that the crank sensor needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was unknown. the vin was unavailable.

Vehicle died while coasting down the side street. once i stopped the vehicle i put it in park and turned the key to off. when trying to restart the vehicle, the engine would crack, but would not start. this problem has been listed for a recall for the 2.5 engine but not for my 3.5 engine, and nissan will not do anything to help the situation. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan altima. the contact stated that the service engine warning lamp flashed intermittently and the vehicle misfired and stalled more than once. the vehicle was taken to a repair shop where the coil packs were replaced a year ago, but the failure recently recurred. the vehicle was towed to the repair shop and the coil packs were replaced again. within 20 minutes of leaving the repair shop, the contact stated that the service engine warning lamp illuminated and the vehicle was stalled. the vehicle was towed back to the repair shop where the contact was informed that they did not have the tools to perform the diagnostic testing. the contact was advised to take the vehicle to an authorized dealer. the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 07v527000 (engine and engine cooling). the vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer for further inspection and diagnosis. the manufacturer was notified of the failures. the approximate failure mileage was 124,000. updated 10/06/15*lj updated 11/27/2017*cn

If the interruption in the signal from the crankshaft position sensor is so brief that the electronic control module (ecm) logic does not have time to diagnose the condition, the engine may stop running without warning while the vehicle is driven at a low speed increasing the risk of a crash. i have had this issue 5-7 times where the car wouldn't start or shut off while driving ( decreasing in speed). *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

I recently experienced my vehicle stalling as i was driving. it took several minutes for me to restart leaving me venerable to a vehicle crash. the same evening i learned of recall# 07v527000. 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

I have a 2005 altima and i have been having problems. i repalced the senors based on the diagnostic reading from two reputable repair shops. my check engine light keeps coming back on. i googled and found out that several altima owners have experienced the exact same problem. i called nissan and was told based on my vin #, i'm not part of the recall. that makes no sense. the dealer wants to charge me an arm and a leg and will only do it for free if nissan says so. i'm so frustrated right now. i will never buy another nissan. *tr

Car would completey shut down while driving 55 plus.at about 20 miles or more and on freeway was very dangeours. would not turn on untile 20 mins. later and notice if engine was warm it shut it down. hopefully this works but car has to have motor mounts replace and being handicap need this car.iv notice 2.5 has same problems and recalled. if i had been in middle lane or no area to pull over accident would of happen plus you lose all power steering. *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

Problem begun by my vehicle being hard to start. you could attempt to start the car for 5 or so minutes without success. you could wait about 10 minutes and try again and the vehicle would eventually start but run pretty rough. it would also perform with poor power during operation. the problem got worse when the "service engine soon" light came on. now the engine shuts down while you are driving. this has happened on 4 to 5 different occasions. the engine will re-start but runs rough. i'm afraid that this could happen at the wrong place and time my wife and family can be hurt or killed. i read a recall on defect of the crank position sensor which causes the identical symptoms that my car has but when i took it to cannon nissan at jackson ms. the service manager told me that my 2005 nissan altima was not included in that recall. what can be done to correct this? please give me a response on this if you can at [xxx] or [xxx]. thank you in advance for your care and assistance.

I already went though p0420 issue few years back and i got it again. nissan dealer charged me whole lotta money to fix the issue and the warning sign came back again. went to local auto zone and it show p0420 again. please help. i read so many articles online and it turns out all altima has this issue (crankshaft, o2 sensor, etc.). *tr

While driving in the highway vehicle lost power and engine shut off, was barely able to get to the side of the freeway before the car came to a complete stop. it was the most scary experience i have ever had in my life. the ses light came on only after loosing all control. i was told at the shop that this is a common issue with some altimas and that they had a recall. *tr

Vehicle suddenly turned off and dangerously stalled while driving at low speed without any warning. after several attempts of trying to start it, it finally did and i drove it for about 10 miles without no further incidents. *tr engine light came on and i took it to dealer who diagnosed it as the failure of the crank shaft position sensor which had earlier been reprogrammed in 2008 due to a recall to avoid such a sudden stall from happening. nissan was not helpfull other than replacing the same sensor from and charge you a bomb for it. nissan north america can a do a better job when addressing their recalls rather than providing a band aid solution to their recalls. during their recall campaign, they should have replaced this sensor from the get go rather than just reprogramming the ecm which still didnt address critical issue of safety for such a sensor failing without any warning.

Crankshaft position sensor bad, part has a known defect from the supplier yet nissan will not replace or call recall notice. car can shut down while driving, high risk for fatality. *tr

The vehicle will stall while driving at different speeds. at times thevehicle takes several attempts to start. *tr

My car's "service engine soon" light initially came on sunday, january 29th. shortly after, my car was beginning to jerk while driving on the highway and felt as if the engine was sputtering while on local roads. we took it to auto zone for a diagnostic and two issues were discovered: the speed signal circuit as well as the crankshaft position sensor has been malfunctioning and needed to be replaced. after some research, we found that several thousand 2005 nissan altimas were recalled due to the crankshaft position sensor malfunctioning with a possibility of damage and injury. we contacted nissan village and were informed that my vin number was not on the list of recalled vehicles. i have owned quite a few cars and i have never heard of this part needing to be replaced. my local nissan dealer wants to charge $300-$400 to repair this issue and i believe, even though this recall was initiated back in december 2007, these repairs should be covered as this is not a maintenance issue but rather a serious overall defect in this particular make, model and year. we have no choice but to get the vehicle repaired as we have children but wanted to make sure this complaint was lodged for reporting purposes. we will also be contacting nissan to inform them of this issue and our dissatisfaction with the fact that the nissan dealership wants to charge us for a repair that should be covered under a past recall. thank you. *tr

While driving down the highway, at 70 mph, my car bucked and then shut down. losing all control, it completely turned off. while off you lose power-steering, abs etc. luckily i was on a straight stretch of highway when this occurred. came to a coasting stop. when to start my car again, and it took a while for it to turn over. the service engine light came on. the car would routinely buck, and hiccup as if it were trying to shut itself off. i called the nissan dealer, have the ecm reprogrammed, as they thought that would be the issue. got it done, and a day later, same thing happened, my car shut off in the middle of the highway. i got it running, and then as i got nearer home, the car shut down again at an intersection. i was lucky i didn't get in a wreck. furiously, i called the nissan dealer, and brought it back in. after doing some research, it was noted the cam/crankshaft sensors were bad. this is a known issue by nissan, as there has been a recall for 2000 - 2003 models of their cars in the past. i got them replaced and paid out of pocket to do so. i contacted nissan and they were disrespectful and not helpful at all. they know that the issue is still ongoing with their vehicles. its a life threatening situation and should not be up to the consumer to fix the issue as its a flaw in their electrical system. there needs to be a recall for this right away as there are thousands of people this has happened to. *tr

Car doesnt start. car doesnt maintain connection. while driving in a tunnel, upon acceleration to go uphill, car stalled. *tr

The electrical system in my car has failed on several different occasions. most recently, for about the 10th time, my windows don't go down and i am unable to adjust the driver's side seat. my car has recently failed the safety inspection in my state because the driver's side window does not go down. i bought the car from what i thought was a reputable dealer, but i have a feeling they knew the car had electrical issues because they pushed the 3rd party warranty when i was doing my financing. it didn't dawn on me until i started having all these issues with the electrical components in my the car; sunroof, windows, locks and seats. *tr

While driving on the i-95 i began to approach slower traffic. as i proceeded to slow down, all the dash lights came on, my steering got stiff, and the car was completely off. when i pulled over and attempted to start the car again it hesitated but eventually it started. however, the most recent incident that has occur, the car no longer starts at all and only cranks but won't turn over. *tr

While transporting with my 1 and 2 year old in my vehicle driving about 30mph my vehicle suddenly shuts off. *tr

Vehicle stopped running without warning. reference 07v527000. stated by manufacturer vin not included in recall. repair and description of campaign id above reflect exact same issue. extend recall to include all 2005 altimas. *kb

2005 nissan altima. consumer states several problems with vehicle to include brakes, trunk leak, relay switch *tgw the consumer stated when he purchased the vehicle, it had been traded two days prior, and the safety inspection had not been performed. the dealer told the consumer, he could keep it over the weekend and bring it back the next business day for the safety inspection so they could repair any problems. when the consumer arrived home with the vehicle, he noticed a cover for the seat belt connector was not attached and there was standing water in the spare tire wheel well. the consumer was informed the trunk problem was fixed. however, water was found in the spare wheel well again. also, the check engine light illuminated due to a faulty gas relay switch. the consumer stated two weeks later, the brakes started squealing. *jb the consumer stated the vehicle was taken to the dealer to have the rear wheel bearings replaced. however, the warranty company stated the bearings were not covered under warranty. the warranty company stated their denial of coverage was based on the fact, the vehicle was front-wheel drive. updated 07/19/12

Car started missing and stuttering then shutting off while driving for a couple days, nearly causing 3 accidents in this span. on the third day it started losing power and shut off constantly when at red lights. took it to my mechanic and he scanned the engine codes. we replaces the camshaft and crankshaft position sensors and the car ran smoothly again. i have already had the ecm reprogram recall done to the car after doing some research this appears to be a very common and very dangerous problem. *tr

2005 nissan altima has a bad crank shaft position censor. i have found it happening in many cars. the car will stop and not start again if it goes bad. the part only costs approx. $30.00. i think you should look into this problem. *tr

Cars power started fluttering around 45-50 mph, like it was wanting to die. it had previously died while idleing..codes were checked they came up as bad crank and cam sensor..and bad speed sensor.and catalytic converter..noticed car was under re-call..towed it to dealer they flashed ecm..when we were driving car home all problems re-occurred..had codes checked at another garage all the same ones came up..called dealer they were no help at all and wanted to charge us to check codes told them we already had them and they said its not their problem...they have no interest in addressing the real issues or fixing what the real problem is, what a rip-off..

My car would act like it was skipping a gear and jerk. it would also sometimes not start. the ultimate failure is that my car stalls while i'm driving it. it used to be every so often and has now become a daily thing. i am replacing the crank position sensor myself as this is the cause of the problem. nissan knows this but has done nothing to remedy the situation. my car is out of warranty so it wasn't worth my while to even check with nissan to have this fixed. *tr

This car was part of a recall due to a engine cooling defect, they claimed it was fixed. then all of a sudden last year my heat wouldn't work, instead the air conditioner would just kick on, could not be fixed. i had no heat last winter. i had a friend who was a mechanic look at it this year take a look at it and made a temp fix and i have heat some of the time. he disconnected the a/c for now. this shouldn't happen to a 5 now 6 year old car. try being in 0 degree weather with the air conditioner blowing at you and being told they don't know what's wrong. this has to be a defect because i have had many 10-15 year old cars and never have had this problem this needs to be addressed to that i can have heat, and now that my a/c is disconnected i would like to have my defroster working, but a small price to pay for not getting frost bite in the frigid temps. *tr

I own a 2005 nissan altima. from the day i got the car there has been a problem with it stalling. took it to the dealership and they said they could not find anything wrong. the recall that is on the nissan for the crankshaft position sensor i was told that there was nothing wrong with mine. i have all the correspondence that i have with nissan. but they refused to do anything about it. well yesterday the car shut completely off going down the road and i was almost hit in the rearend. it did this 3 times before i got it home. nissan needs to make this right before someone gets hurt. if not my car then someone else's. this is very dangerous and could cause a major wreck. *tr

2005 nissan altima - crankshaft sensor. my 2005 pre-owned nissan altima just experienced crank/start problems yesterday. after computer diagnostics were performed, they discovered that the ecm and the crankshaft sensor were defective. the dealership informed me that the 2005 nissan models had a recall on the ecm modules and the crankshafts. they advised me to contact nissan to ensure this had not been previously corrected during the original recall. i contacted nissan to find out that it had never been corrected. nissan rep divya cheeran advised me that the ecm and frame were on recall however the crankshaft was not. i informed her that the dealership had already informed me of the recall for the crankshaft. she insisted the dealership was wrong and there was no recall of any crankshaft on any nissan vehicles. i told her that i was looking at a consumer affairs report on the internet as well as the report/recall notice with national highway traffic and safety administration. she still refuted the fact that there had been any recall on the crankshafts for the 2005 nissan altimas. however, she advised me to take my car into the nearest dealership (sheehy nissan in springfield, va) to have the ecm and frame fixed. she stated that once the ecm was fixed it would resolve the cranking and shutting off problems i was experiencing. i advised her that the mechanic at the dealership had already confirmed that would not remedy the problem with the crankshaft and i would like for nissan to acknowledge the recall and fix the ecm and crankshaft. it was public knowledge and record that there was a known problem with this and could be potentially hazardous to my health and the health of my newborn who frequently travels with me. i advised her that $200 to fix the crankshaft should be nothing to nissan as opposed to me filing a lawsuit with them if any harm came to me or my child due to this hazard. can you please assist me with getting my car fixed? *tr

I have a 2005 nissan altima. when my car reaches approx 60 miles an hour it jerks as if it is going to cut off. one time it did cut off, just so happen i was able to pullover. also the car will not crank at all, it will stall. we have replaced these parts on three times and i have only had the car going on three years. i went on the internet to see if others were having these issues and if you look you will see the same complaints from countless consumers. no accident has been reported as far as i know but why wait until one does. *tr

Crankshaft sensors failed in 11/2009 and car cut off while driving - crankshaft sensor failed again 09/2010 but i was parked . nissan claims there is a recall on a batch of cars for this issue but my car is not included - there are numerous reports about this issue all over the web . *tr
