2005 Nissan Altima

"SENSOR" PROBLEM" - FROM THIS APPROXIMATE, BACK TO PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE, IT HAS BEEN A NIGHT-MARE. INSURANCE, INSURANCE, INSURANCE, SENSOR, SENSOR, SENSOR, EMC, "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (2XS), ARE JUST THE M/O FOR THE 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 S. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BEFORE WE HAVE MANY MORE TRADGEDYS!!! DO THIS FOR THE PEOPLE. THE EVIDENCE IS THERE. MY PERSONAL OPINION: "SAFETY" WAS LAST & INFERIOR PARTS WERE 1ST. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION. PLEASE CALL FOR A MORE DETAIL LIST. SOME INFO I DO NOT HAVE DUE TO ME NOT KNOWING OF PAST & RECENT RECALLS ON PARTS ON THE VEHICLE, THEREFORE THE DEALER, REPLACED THE PART WITH-OUT MY KNOWLEDGE. IT WAS NOT UNTIL I REVIEWED PAST RECEIPTS THAT RECALL REPAIRS WERE DONE. I AM A VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMER & I AM GETTING THE RUN AROUND. I HOPE AN INVESTIGATION CAN BE STARTED FOR THE "SAFETY" OF OTHERS. THE BBB AUTO LINE, ETC, WAS ANOTHER AVENUE I WAS TOLD TO TAKE. PLEASE GUIDE ME THRU THIS PROCESS. THANK YOU. *TR

2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. CONSUMER SEEKS REIMBURSEMENT FOR A CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULD INTERMITTENTLY CUT OFF AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER WAS DENIED REIMBURSEMENT BECAUSE THE RECALL ONLY REQUIRED REPROGRAMMING THE ECM. THE CONSUMER STATED THE REPROGRAMMING OF THE ECM DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM, BECAUSE A FEW MONTHS LATER THE STALLING OCCURRED. THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED UNTIL THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS REPLACED. *JB

MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC THIS MORNING ALMOST CAUSING ME AND MY CAR TO BE SMASH BY AN 18 WHEELER, AND WHEN I TURN IT BACK ON AND GAVE IT GAS IT WOULD NOT MOVE. SO I TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON A FEW TIMES AND I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO DRIVE TO WORK. THIS HAS HAPPEN A FEW OTHER TIMES BEFORE, THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPEN I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR THAT NEEDED TO BE FIXED, I LEFT THE CAR THERE FOR 3 DAYS AND THE RECALL WAS SUPPOSEDLY THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED, BUT LATER THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN AGAIN, LUCKILY I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND A AUTO ZONE WAS NEAR, SO I GOT THE GUY TO HOOK IT UP TO HIS MACHINE TO CHECK FOR CODES AND THE PROBLEM THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED WITH THE RECALL WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS PROBLEMATIC IN MY CAR. SO I TOOK IT TO NISSAN AGAIN AND TOLD THEM I AM HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AGAIN AND THEY TELL ME IT'S NOT THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OVER 800 DOLLARS TO GET IT FIXED AND THAT IF I DIDN'T THE ENGINE WOULD JUST EVENTUALLY DIE. THIS TIME I'M NOT GOING TO NISSAN, BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF POINTLESS, I DON'T HAVE 800 DOLLARS TO SPEND ON A PROBLEM THAT IS CAUSE BY SOMETHING THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO FIX AND DIDN'T. I DON'T A FEW SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND HAD TO COME OUT OF THEIR POCKETS. I'M JUST WONDERING TO PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FOR THEM TO RECALL THE CAR FOR THE ACTUAL PROBLEM? OR MAYBE PEOPLE HAVE DIED AND THE ACCIDENT WAS BLAMED ON SOMETHING ELSE. THE RECALL THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX MY PROBLEM IS NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V527000. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHEN MY CAR REACHES APPROX 60 MILES AN HOUR IT JERKS AS IF IT IS GOING TO CUT OFF. ONE TIME IT DID CUT OFF, JUST SO HAPPEN I WAS ABLE TO PULLOVER. ALSO THE CAR WILL NOT CRANK AT ALL, IT WILL STALL. WE HAVE REPLACED THESE PARTS ON THREE TIMES AND I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR GOING ON THREE YEARS. I WENT ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF OTHERS WERE HAVING THESE ISSUES AND IF YOU LOOK YOU WILL SEE THE SAME COMPLAINTS FROM COUNTLESS CONSUMERS. NO ACCIDENT HAS BEEN REPORTED AS FAR AS I KNOW BUT WHY WAIT UNTIL ONE DOES. *TR

THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON AND WENT OFF FOR A FEW WEEKS FINALLY I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP. I WAS TOLD THAT IS THE CATALYST CONVERTER, THE PART ALONE COST AROUND 600.00, CAR IS A 2005 ALTIMA 2.5 WITH 120,000.00 MILES, WELL MAINTAINED. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET I HAVE COME TO REALIZE THAT THIS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. I JUST SPENT OVER 300.00 TO REPAIR THE CRANKSHAFT AS MY VEHICLE WOULD STALL AND NOT START ALL THE TIME. ON TOP OF IT ALL I WAS ALSO JUST TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE INNER TIE ROD - ANOTHER 300.00 - THIS CAR IS TURNING OUT TO BE A PILE OF JUNK. *TR

ON THE 2005 NISSAN ULTIMA 2.5 LITER ENGINES THE CRANK SHAFT POSITIONING SENSOR FAILS PREMATURELY RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER TO THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE STALLS OUT AT SPEEDS ABOVE 65 MPH PLACING THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN GRAVE DANGER OF A REAR END COLLISION WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE DEATH OR INJURY TO THE OCCUPANTS. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY ON INTERSTATE 65 WITH A HUGE POPULATION OF TRACTOR TRAILERS MOVING NORTH AND SOUTH ON I65. NISSAN HAS FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGED THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I CHALLENGE YOU TO CONDUCT A GOOGLE SEARCH AND FIND NUMEROUS CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE. MANY CONSUMERS HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN BUT IT APPEARS THEY ARE UNWILLING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS POTENTIAL DEADLY SAFETY ISSUE. I WOULD ASK YOU ASTHE AGENCY RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY TO FORCE NISSAN TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND MAKE THIS A MANDATORY RECALL. ITS UNFORTUNATE NISSAN IS PLAYING THE SAME GAME AS TOYOTA AND SOMEONE MUST ACT ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE NOW BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED!!! *TR
