2005 Nissan Altima

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IN ORDER TO START THE VEHICLE, HE WOULD HAVE TO PARTIALLY DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND PERFORMED A FUEL INDUCTION SERVICE. HE REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V527000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) AND WAS ADVISED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,626 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 118,646.

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 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO A PRECISION DEALER IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. PRECISION TOLD ME THAT THE PART AFFECTED (CATALYTIC CONVERTER) HAD BEEN RECALLED BY NISSAN AND THE DEALER WOULD FIX IT FOR FREE. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER, I WAS INFORMED THAT EVEN THOUGH THE PART WAS RECALLED FOR SOME CARS, MY PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER WAS NOT COVERED. I ALSO CALLED UP NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIR AND THEY SAID THAT THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO MY CAR. I HAD TO PAY THE PRICE FOR REPAIR MYSELF. WHEN I RESEARCHED ONLINE, I SAW TONS OF COMPLAINTS BY PEOPLE FOR A FAULTY CONVERTER THAT NISSAN FAILED TO HONOR. I AM FILING AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT BECAUSE I THINK THAT IF NISSAN KNOWS THAT A PART OF THEIRS IS UNDER RE-CALL FOR CERTAIN VINS AND OTHER DRIVERS ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS, THEY SHOULD ALSO GET THEIR PART RECALLED. *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. MY CAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I WAS JUST WONDERING WHY MY CAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST? IS NISSAN WAITING FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN FIRST? I WENT OUT TODAY TO START MY CAR AND NOW IT WON'T START AT ALL. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WAS READING THE TROUBLESHOOTING # P0335 WHICH IS THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. I SPOKE TO A NISSAN REP. YESTERDAY AND SHE REFUSED TO HELP ME OUT IF DID NOT GO TO A NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE MY CAR CHECKED BY THEM. SORRY, I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. THERE ARE PLACES THAT DO IT FOR NOTHING NOW. I THINK YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. I DO FEAR DRIVING MY CAR NOW. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM FOR ALL OF THE NISSAN OWNERS. *TR

I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. HE TOOK ALL THE BELTS SURROUNDING THE ENGINE OFF (THE DRIVE BELT ETC.) TO SEE IF THE SOUND WAS RELATED TO A DEFECT IN ONE OF THE BELTS; THE SOUND PERSISTED AND HE SAID IT WAS COMING FROM THE TIMING COVER.
