2005 Nissan Altima

I RECENTLY EXPERIENCED MY VEHICLE STALLING AS I WAS DRIVING. IT TOOK SEVERAL MINUTES FOR ME TO RESTART LEAVING ME VENERABLE TO A VEHICLE CRASH. THE SAME EVENING I LEARNED OF RECALL# 07V527000. THE FOLLOWING DAY I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE RECALL RESOLVED. THEY ADVISED THE RECALL ONLY COVERS REPROGRAMMING COMPUTER NOT REPLACING DEFECTIVE CRANK SENSOR. I FEEL THAT REPROGRAMMING COMPUTER WILL NOT RESOLVE SAFETY ISSUE AS THE SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE AND COULD FAIL EVEN WITH REPROGRAMMING COMPUTER. I WAS CHARGED 96.00 DOLLARS TO HAVE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED. DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE PART. TO MY UNDERSTANDING MANY OTHER ALTIMA OWNERS EXPERIENCE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND ARE FORCED TO PAY FOR DEFECTIVE PARTS THAT FAIL.DEALER DID NOT OFFER TO REPROGRAM COMPUTER THEY INSISTED THAT ONLY REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE PART WOULD RESOLVE MY ISSUE WHICH WAS NOT COVERED BY RECALL. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 ALTIMA AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS. I REPALCED THE SENORS BASED ON THE DIAGNOSTIC READING FROM TWO REPUTABLE REPAIR SHOPS. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING BACK ON. I GOOGLED AND FOUND OUT THAT SEVERAL ALTIMA OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD BASED ON MY VIN #, I'M NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THAT MAKES NO SENSE. THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME AN ARM AND A LEG AND WILL ONLY DO IT FOR FREE IF NISSAN SAYS SO. I'M SO FRUSTRATED RIGHT NOW. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN. *TR

THIS RECALL NUMBER, #03V084 DESCRIBES MY SITUATION PRECISELY. MY VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 97,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING (OVER THE LAST COURSE OF A YEAR) SEVERE OIL CONSUMPTION. SOON AFTER I CHANGED MY OIL IN MAY OF 2013, I BEGAN TO NOTICE UNUSUAL ENGINE NOISE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND HE DISCOVERED THAT MY MOTOR WAS ONLY RUNNING ON A QUART AND A HALF OF OIL. THE MECHANIC REPLENISHED MY OIL TO ITS NORMAL LEVEL AND SINCE THEN, THE MOTOR CONSUMES OIL AT AN ABNORMALLY RAPID RATE. ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA??S RECALL #03V084, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER DISINTEGRATES AND THE PARTICLES OF THE CONVERTER ARE DRAWN BACK INTO THE MOTOR, WHICH CAUSES SCARING ON THE CYLINDER WALLS. THIS PROBLEM IS THE ONLY LOGICAL EXPLANATION FOR MY VEHICLE'S RAPID OIL CONSUMPTION. IT??S MY INTENTION TO APPROACH NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT. *TR

MY FLOOR OF MY CAR HAS RUSTED OUT. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO NISSAN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. THE FLOORBOARD HAS RUSTED SO BAD IT IS NOT SAFE TO PUT ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS CAR IS WELL CARED FOR, GARAGED NIGHTLY, WASHED WEEKLY AND ALL MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENTS KEPT. IT HAS ONE DRIVER OVER AGE 60 SO IT IS NOT USED FOR SPEED OR DERBY DRIVING. I DID NOT BUILD THIS CAR AND AS I AM NOT AN AUTO SERVICE PERSON WOULD HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT MY UNDERCARRIAGE AND FLOORBOARDS WERE RUSTED TO THE POINT OF BEING A SAFETY HAZARD. THEY HAVE PLACED MY CAR ON THE BLOCKS AND LIFTED EVERY TIME YET NEVER TOLD ME THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THIS IS NEGLIGENCE OF THE HIGHEST FORM AND THEY DID NOT WANT TO COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY SO THEY REMAINED SILENT ABOUT A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE. AS A LAYPERSON I HAVE BEEN FRAUD AND MY SAFETY JEOPARDIZED FOR THE SAKE OF SAVING A FEW DOLLARS. I WILL NOW TAKE THIS PROBLEM PUBLIC TO ANY AND EVERYONE WHO WILL LISTEN. I ASK AND ENCOURAGE THE NHTSA TO HEAR THE COMPLAINTS OF CONSUMERS AND REQUIRE NISSAN MAKE THIS RIGHT. OBVIOUSLY THESE FLOORBOARDS WERE NOT TREATED FOR RUST PROTECTION. I AM NOT A LITIGIOUS PERSON BUT WILL NOW SEEK TO BECOME ONE AS A RESULT OF THIS GRAVE ACT OF NEGLIGENCE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HAVING AN OIL CHANGE PERFORMED, HE WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE FLOOR BOARDS ON BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER'S SIDES WERE COMPLETELY CORRODED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

AFTER READING SOME BLOGS ABOUT PEOPLE DISCUSSING NISSAN ALTIMA FLOORBOARD RUST ISSUES, I CHECKED MY 2005 ALTIMA SER AND NOTICED THAT BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARDS ARE RUSTED THROUGH. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED IN A GARAGE AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. IT APPEARS THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO NHTSA AND TO NISSAN BUT NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE EXHAUST FUMES CAN ENTER THE CABIN. *TR
