2005 Nissan Altima

CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAS GONE BAD ON LOW MILEAGE, SINGLE OWNER, WELL MAINTAINED CAR. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH 2002-2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHAT MAKES THE PROBLEM WORSE IS THAT THE CONVERTER DISINTEGRATES AND GETS SUCKED INTO THE ENGINE AND CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE AND STALLING. SPOKE TO NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE AND ESCALATED TO EXECUTIVE RESPONSE TEAM AT NISSAN, AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR A FAULTY PART FOR WHICH THEY HAD ISSUED 3 TSBS BUT REFUSE TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE PART AND SUBSEQUENT DAMAGE TO ENGINE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL OR AT LEAST A WARRANTY EXTENSION. *TR

I SEE IN 2007 NISSAN RECALLED THE CRANKSHAFT AND I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THIS. I TOOK MY CAR TO SEARS ON MARCH 31ST AND BROUGHT A BATTERY BECAUSE I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON SO I TOOK MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC TODAY 4-1-14 AND WAS TOLD NOT ONLY DO I HAVE TO REPLACE MY CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, BUT MY SPEED SENSOR AND MY FUEL PUMP SYSTEM WHICH IS GOING TO COST ME A TOTAL OF $1395.66 TO REPAIR IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO ABOUT THIS SINCE NISSAN NEVER INFORMED ME OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE CRANKSHAFT IN 2007? *TR

CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND CREEPS ALONG IN LIMP HOME MODE. ITS VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL PROBLEM IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS NHTSA RECALL 13V43000 OF SEPT. 26, 2013, THAT AFFECTS NISSAN INFINITI MODELS. AFTER STOPPING AND RESTARTING ONCE OR TWICE THE PROBLEM WILL DISAPPEAR. IN TRAFFIC THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT HAPPENS 2 OR 3 TIMES A YEAR. *TR

THE CAR STALLED OUT... ALMOST GOT HIT.... HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED..LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR MODEL AND PART...GOT IN TOUCH WITH NISSAN AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR VIN..FROM WHAT I READ ALL NISSAN ALTIMA'S WERE RECALLED FOR THIS PART..I ALSO DID NOT RECEIVE NOTICE. CAN SOMEONE CHECK THIS VIN AST SAFERCAR.GOV AND LET ME KNOW ...THANK YOU...PS THIS CAR HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE AND IS WELL MAINTAINED. *TR

I WOULD START THE CAR AND IT WOULD HESITATE I TOOK IT IN TO GOODYEAR THEY SAID IT HAD A BAD SENSOR HAVE TO DO WITH THE FUEL SENOR THEY CHANGED IT AND AS TIME HAS PASSED IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING NISSAN WONT FIX IT UNTIL THE ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON IVE GONE THROUGH THESE COMPLAINTS HERE ON THIS SITE AND ALL ARE EXACTLY LIKE MINE, YOU START THE CAR AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT WANTS TO START BUT DOESN'T I HAVE TO TRY IT A FEW TIMES THEN IT WILL START. *JS
