CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DUE TO ERROR CODE P0335 WHICH IS CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR,MY CAR HESITATE TO START,NEED MORE CRANKING, AS PER NISSAN SO MANY VEHICLES WERE RECALLED FOR THIS CODE BUT IF I GIVE MY VIN # THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL, I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE, ALL THE MAINTENANCES ARE UP TO DATE AND CURRENTLY I HAVE ONLY 72000 MILES, I AM REQUESTING TO RECALL 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE PULLING OVER THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V527000 (ENGINE, ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 240,000.

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. THEY TOLD ME TO REPORT THIS ISSUE TO NHTSA.

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.
