2005 Nissan Altima

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE CAR DIED. I PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON IN THE PAST AND AFTER HAVING THE COMPUTER CLEARED THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT CAR DIED ON ME WHILE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM USUALLY OCCURS WHEN I SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE BEFORE THE RPMS DROP BELOW 1000. *TR

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, MY CAR CUT OFF WHILE GOING ACROSS A BRIDGE. LUCKILY MY CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE CAR. I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR REGARDING REPROGRAMMING THE ECM IN THE ENGINE. HOWEVER, I HAD TO GET MY CRANKSHAFT SENSOR REPLACED. ACCORDING TO REPORTS, THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH ALTIMAS AND THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACEMENT, NOT THE CONSUMER. *TR

THE CLUTCH WILL LOSE PRESSURE LEADING TO THE INABILITY TO SHIFT. ONCE THIS STARTS TO HAPPEN, IT WILL HAPPEN RANDOMLY UNTIL THE CAR SITS FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THIS CAUSES UNSAFE SITUATIONS AT INTERSECTIONS AND ON THE HIGHWAYS DURING TRAFFIC. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM MOST OFTEN DURING HOT DAYS WITH LOTS OF STOP & GO DRIVING. OVER TIME/MILEAGE, THE CONDITION BECOMES MORE COMMON. THE DEALER EVENTUALLY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT FIXED IT FOR AWHILE THEN IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. UNTIL THE CONDITION WAS HAPPENING ENOUGH FOR THE DEALER TO DETECT THE PROBLEM, THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. THEY EVENTUALLY DECIDED TO REPLACE THE MASTER & SLAVE CYLINDER AGAIN. *TR

2005 NISSAN ALTIMA RECALL CAMPAIGN 06V-223. *NJ THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING AN ISSUE WITH ENGINE STALLING. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TOOK THE DEALER TO HAVE THE RECALL TAKEN CARE OF AND AFTER WAITING NEARLY TWO HOURS, THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED TO PREVENT STALLING OF THE ENGINE IN THE EVENT OF A SIGNAL INTERRUPTION FROM THE CRANK ANGLE SENSOR. THE CONSUMER WAS REASSURED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND DIDN'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THE ENGINE RANDOMLY STALLING. ON NOVEMBER 19, 2009 THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET. THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RE-START THE VEHICLE, BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC'S SHOP, AND A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DETERMINED THAT THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WERE DEFECTIVE AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF. THE CONSUMER IS SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT OF THE MONIES THAT WERE SPENT AT THE MECHANIC'S SHOP IN THE AMOUNT OF $315.33. THE REPROGRAMMING OF ECM DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AS THE DEALER ORIGINALLY STATED. *JB
