2005 Nissan Altima

SO BESIDES THE FACT THAT MY FLOOR BOARD ON MY DRIVERS SIDE HAS A HUGE HOLE IN IT, THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR HAS CAUSE ME ENOUGH PROBLEMS TO WHERE I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS ISSUE. THE VEHICLE IDLES ROUGH, WHEN ACCELERATING IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS ABOUT TO SHUT OFF, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU CHANGE THE SENSOR. I'VE HAD MINE CHANGED FOUR TIMES. I AM ACTUALLY SICK OF THIS VEHICLE NOW AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN. TO MAKE IT WORSE I CAN'T TAKE THE CAR OUT OF TOWN BECAUSE IT WILL GET HOT THEN THE CLUTCH STICKS TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE TO LIFT IT WITH MY FOOT AND IT STILL WON'T ENGAGE, IT LOSES ALL PRESSURE. SO DRIVING LONG DISTANCE IS OUT OF THE QUESTION. SOMEONE NEEDS TO FIX THIS BEFORE THERE IS AN ACCIDENT. I ALMOST GOT HIT BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET MY CAR TO GO INTO THIRD GEAR. WHEN I DO GET IN AN ACCIDENT I WILL SUE NISSAN AND ANYBODY ELSE WHO KNEW ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND SAT BACK AND DID NOTHING.

MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING A WHINING NOISE AT IDLE AND ALSO WHILE DRIVING. UPON FURTHER REVIEW AND EXTENSIVE ONLINE RESEARCH AT MAXIMA FORUM, I HAVE FOUND OUT THERE'S A DESIGN FLAW ON THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONERS ON THESE V6 ENGINES. IF NOT REPAIRED CAN RESULT IN EXTENSIVE REPAIRS AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF ENGINE. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE IS PAST THE WARRANTY MILEAGE. I DON'T KNOW IF NISSAN WILL GRANT THE FREE REPAIR SINCE IT IS A DESIGN FLAW BY THE MANUFACTURER.

CAR SHUDDERED AND RPM DROPPED AND THEN CAME BACK UP TO CURRENT RPM LEVEL. CAME TO STOP LIGHT AND VEHICLE WAS THEN PUT INTO LIMP MODE. WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND RPM'S WOULD NOT GO OVER 2000. PULLED OVER AND TURNED CAR OFF. RESTARTED CAR AND BEGAN TO TRY AND DRIVE IT AGAIN. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. TRIED TO MANUALLY SHIFT THE AUTOMATIC TRANS AND IT WOULD HIT HARD UPON GEAR SHIFTS BUT WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME THE REMAINING FEW MILES.. BROUGHT VEHICLE IN TO A MECHANICS SHOP THE NEXT MORNING AND THE CODES INDICATE CAM POSITION SENSOR FAILURES. I SEE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND A RECALL FOR THIS UNDER R2022 BUT OF COURSE MY VEHICLE IS NOT LISTED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND ALL VEHICLES SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL AS IT IS COMPLETELY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT COMES OUT OF NOWHERE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I AM WAITING FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM IS COMPLETELY RESOLVED AT MY EXPENSE. ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. I FOUND OUT ON LINE , THAT THERE IS AN INFERIOR DESIGN FLAW WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS,THAT INVOLVES WATER ACCUMULATION AND SEVERE RUSTING CLEAR THRU BOTH THE INNER AND LOWER FLOOR BOARDS, ON MOST 2002 TO 2006 NISSAN'S. I CHECKED MY VEHICLE AND FOUND ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE,I HAVE A 6 TO 8 INCH HOLE CLEAR THRU BOTH THE INNER AND LOWER FLOOR BOARDS. THIS CONDITION IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS IN THAT IN ADDITION TO SOMEONE POSSIBLY FALLING THRU THE HOLE , ENGINE EXHAUST CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES AS WELL AS WATER CAN ENTER THE VEHICLE. THERE IS ALSO THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE WIRING THAT CAN CAUSE A FIRE AND RESULT IN DEATH. IN READING ABOUT THIS DEFECT ON LINE IT STATS THAT REPAIRING THIS PROBLEM CAN COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND NISSAN KNEW OF THIS RUST PROBLEM , POOR WATER DRAINAGE CONDITION AND WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL SINCE THIS CONDITION HAPPENED AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD. THE INTER NET ARTICLES STATED THAT HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN FILED AND ADVISED PERSONS AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM TO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION . I THANK YOU AND APPRECIATE YOUR PROMPT ATTENTION,IN LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER AND AWAIT YOUR RESPONSE. *TR

I AM PLACING A COMPLAINT AGAINST NISSAN MOTOR COMPANY FOR FAULTY FLOORING IN THEIR ALTIMA MODELS. I TRIED TO HAVE OUR CAR A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA INSPECTED TODAY BUT IT FAILED DO TO RUSTING FLOORS UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER FEET SECTION. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE NOW THAT NBC NEWS HAS BROKE THE STORY ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN ONE OF THE BROAD CAST. NISSAN SHOULD NOT BE LET OFF THE HOOK WITH THIS ISSUE SO I'M WRITING TO YOU IN HOPES THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN . THIS COMPANY SCREWED UP NOW PEOPLE SUCH AS MY FAMILY ARE LEFT WONDERING HOW TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN. PLEASE DO SOMETHING !!!

I AM DRIVING A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA SE-R WITH APPROXIMATELY 140,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD AND COMING TO A STOP FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT, PROBABLY AT 5 TO 10 MPH. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF FOR NO REASON. I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND GOT THE ENGINE CODE AND IT IS FOR CAN SHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I BROWSED INTERNET AND THIS SEEMS A COMMON PROBLEM

CAR WAS IN SHOP FOR FRONT END SUSPENSION AND TECHNICIAN POINTED OUT RUST HOLES UNDER BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SEATS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE BODY, AND WAS LOOKING TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL. COULD CAUSE POTENTIAL DANGEROUS SITUATION IF OBJECT IN ROAD IS HIT AND COMES UP UNDER THE UNDERCARRIAGE.

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.
