2005 Nissan Altima

GOT THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT ON 07/31/2013 AND THE NISSAN ALTIMA 2005 SUDDENLY STOPPED WHILE WAITING IN THE RED SIGNAL. THE LOCAL MECHANIC TOLD THE CODE P0335 WAS BEING RETURNED WHICH MEANT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR HAS FAILED. SINCE THERE WAS A CAMPAIGN FOR THE SAME MODEL AND PROBLEM, I CONTACTED THE NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY SAID THIS VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE CAMPAIGN. GOING TO CHECK WITH THE LOCAL DEALER TO REPROGRAM THE ECM. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW. A LITTLE AFTER IT WAS 3 YEARS (08)THAT I HAD IT THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. NISSAN TOLD ME THAT THE CAR WAS OVER MILEAGE SO I WAS RESPONSIBLE OUT OF POCKET. SO I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC 1200 DOLLARS OUT OF POCKET, A LITTLE OVER A YEAR (09), SAME PROBLEM ANOTHER 1200, IN 2012 ONCE AGAIN ANOTHER 1000 AND NOW AS OF LAST MONTH TRANSMISSION NUMBER 4 ANOTHER 1000. AS OF TODAY JULY 30. 2013 THE CAR ONCE AGAIN IS STALLING. FRIEND OF MIND TOLD ME BOUT THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BOUT THE NISSANS TRANS. AS A WOMAN WHO DEPENDS ON HER CAR ALOT I CAN TELL YOU THAT OWNING THIS CAR HAS NOT BEEN PLEASANT AT ALL. I HAVE HAD IT STALL ON ME AT BUSY INTERSECTIONS, HIGHWAYS, AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NITE WHILE WORKING. NISSAN DOESN'T SEEM TO REALIZE THAT THEIR WAY OF DOING BUSINESS AND HIDING THE TRUTH BEHIND THEIR DEFECTIVE VEHICLES IS AND CONTINUES TO PUT PEOPLE LIVES IN JEOPARDY. ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS THEIR PRODUCT BEING OUT ON THE STREET. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT SUCH A PRETTY CAR WAS A PIECE OF CRACK, I WOULD HAVE SPENT ALOT LESS THAN 20000 DOLLARS ON A NEW CAR THAT WAS SO CALLED GOOD QUALITY. *TR

I HAVE RUST HOLES IN THE FLOOR PANEL OF MY 2005 ALTIMA. IT WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION AND WHILE DRIVING THE HOLE IS BIG ENOUGH THAT I CAN FEEL IT UNDER MY FOOT THROUGH THE CARPET. I TALKED TO MY MECHANIC ABOUT A FIX AND HE SAID HE HAS DONE ABOUT 8-10 OF THESE CARS FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. LOOKING ONLINE, THIS IS A COMMON FLAW THAT MANY ALTIMA OWNERS HAVE AND IT IS AN INCREDIBLE SAFETY CONCERN. THERE SHOULD BE A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST NISSAN BASED ON THE RESPONSES THEY ARE GIVING PEOPLE WHO ARE ASKING THEM FOR HELP WITH THE REPAIR. *TR

WENT TO GET AN OIL CHANGED AND WHEN COMPLETED THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THERE WAS CORROSION AND RUST IN THE FLOOR UNDER THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTING IT, THE FLOOR BOARD SEEMS TO BE COMPLETELY ROTTED/RUSTED THROUGH AND YOU CAN SEE THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. HE TOLD ME THAT IT'S WEAR AND TEAR AND MAYBE AN AUTOBODY SHOP CAN FIX IT OR I SHOULD TRADE IN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW AND A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS A BODY DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. WHY DOESN'T NISSAN REALIZE THIS IS NOT JUST ONE CASE. *TR
