2005 Nissan Altima

NISSAN USED PARTS IN THE TIMING CHAIN SYSTEM WHICH PREMATURELY FAIL AND WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR AFTER WARRANTY. THE ISSUE WAS NOT ABLE TO BE DISCOVERED UNTIL IT HAD ALREADY FAILED AND IN THIS CASE, IS NOT A REPAIR THE OWNER CAN PERFORM ON THEIR OWN. CERTAIN MECHANICS HAVE EVEN CHOSE NOT TO PERFORM THIS REPAIR AND THE ONES WHICH ARE ABLE TO, CHARGE IN THE $2000+ RANGE. WHEN CONTACTING NISSAN ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT HAD SAID IT WOULD HAVE TO HAVE BEEN REPAIRED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. ONCE THE TIMING IS EFFECTED, THE ENGINE AND DRIVE TRAIN SEEM TO HAVE DROPPED IN PERFORMANCE IN WHICH I HAVE VERY SLUGGISH ACCELERATION AND CANNOT READY SPEEDS OVER 30 MPH. THERE IS NO WAY I WAS ABLE TO EVEN CHECK IF THE TIMING CHAIN SYSTEM HAD SIGNS OF GOING BAD, AND IF THERE WAS A RECALL, THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS. THIS FAULTY SYSTEM CREATES AN UNSAFE, UNRELIABLE MACHINE WHICH NISSAN SHOULD TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY.

IN 2008, MY CAR STATED HAVING DIFFICULTY STARTING FOR A FEW WEEKS THEN MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS FOR THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I CHECKED WITH NISSAN AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2005 ALTIMAS BUT MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE CAMSHAFT WAS REPLACE. LAST WEEK MY CAR TRANSMISSION STARTED JERKING AND SHORTLY AFTER THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I FORWARDED AN E-MAIL TO NISSAN ASKING WHAT WAS THE PARAMETERS OF THE RECALL AS THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME MY CAR HAD THIS PROBLEM. THEY RESPONDED THAT MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND TO SEEK ASSISTANCE FROM MY LOCAL DEALER. I HAVE DEALT WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN THE PAST AND THERE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE. I HAVE READ THAT THIS SENOR CAN CAUSE MY CAR TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. I AM IN FEAR THIS WILL HAPPEN ON A NYC HIGHWAY, IN A DESERTED OR HIGH CRIME AREA. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE THAT WOULD MAKE NISSAN PAY FOR THIS $400.00 PLUS REPAIR?

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA AND BOTH FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER FLOOR BOARDS RUSTED THROUGH TOTALLY. WOULD NOT PASS PA. INSPECTION. PER MY MECHANIC RUSTED BECAUSE HOW NISSAN ROUTES THE DRAIN HOSE FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER CAUSE THE PREMATURE/UNSAFE HOLES. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO RIDE IN THE CAR, TO WHERE INJURY WAS CERTAIN. TOOK TO AUTO BODY SHOP AND THEY ALSO SAID THE SAME CAUSE FOR THE RUSTED OUT FLOOR BOARDS. MY NISSAN ALTIMA WASN'T THE FIRST NISSAN ALTIMA THEY REPLACED THE FLOOR BOARDS. AGAIN THEY STATED VERY DANGEROUS TO OPERATE THIS CAR! IT COST ME $528.94 FOR THIS REPAIR! I WANT REIMBURSED! I ONLY INCLUDED THE PASSENGER PICTURE OF FLOOR BOARD DUE TO SIZE ALLOWED TO DOWNLOAD. THE DRIVER SIDE JUST AS BAD!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT IT FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE SERVICE ENGINE INDICATOR ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AND CAM SHAFT SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V527000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

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

TECHNICIAN AT SHRED-IT/STERICYCLE LOCATED AT 81 WALSH ROAD IN PARSIPPANY NJ, KEEPS ILLEGALLY REMOTELY HACKING MY CAR. THE LIGHT COMES ON SAYING "TCS OFF" AND ANOTHER LIGHT COMES ON WITH IT STATING "SLIP." WHEN HE DOES THIS AND THESE LIGHTS COMES ON, THE CAR DOES NOT DRIVE SAFELY AT ALL. THE CAR DOESN'T GO INTO GEAR EASILY AND IT SEEMS TO BE VERY ROUGH TO SWITCH GEARS. ALSO THE STEERING IS COMPLETELY OFF WHEN HE DOES THIS AS WELL AS THE DRIVING OF THE VEHICLE TOO. THIS LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE I AM DRIVING. I AM VERY TERRIFIED. HE HAS BEEN STALKING ME ONLINE FOR MONTHS SINCE I FOUND OUT THE I.T. DEPT PUT WEBCAMS IN THE COMPUTER STANDS AT MY JOB, AND SINCE HE HAS BEEN ELECTRONICALLY STALKING ME-WITH THIS ILLEGAL SICK REMOTE CAR HACKING BEING A PART OF HIS MALICIOUS BEHAVIOR TOWARDS ME IN HIS EFFORTS TO CLEARLY HARM ME. I AM IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE AND SAFETY. CAR HACKING AS YOU KNOW IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I DO NOT WANT HIM TO DO THIS TO ME.
