2005 Nissan Altima

MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2005 IS CONSUMING EXCESS OF OIL. 5 LITERS DURING 6 HOURS DRIVING CAUSING OVERHEATING THE MOTOR OR POSSIBLE FIRE. DURING MY TRIP A HAD TO REDUCE THE SPEED AND STOP ON THE HIGHWAY. MY CAR HAD TO TOWARD TO THE DEALER BUT THEY JUST SAY THIS ISSUE WAS A DESIGN ISSUE ON THIS ALTIMA MOTOR MODEL. THIS HAPPEN WHEN CAR IS DRIVING TO HEIGHT SPEED. OIL CAN NOT FLOW PROPERLY THROUGH MOTOR AND IT GOES OUT THROUGH AIR DUCT. COVER OF MOTOR WAS DISASSEMBLED IN SEVERAL HOLES WERE MADE INTERNALLY TO LET OIL FLOW PROPERLY. *TR

2005 NISSAN ALTIMA - WHEN GOING UP A GRADE THE VEHICLE DIES. THIS HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES ON TIOGA PASS, ON THE BAY BRIDGE, ON HWY 46 IN THE FOG, ON THE 580 ECT. MECHANIC INDICATES THAT THE COMPUTER CODE IS P2135 - THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR, MECHANIC STATES THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL BE COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED EMISSION WARRANTY. I'LL BE DRIVING AT 65 MILES AN HOUR AND SOMETIMES WHEN GOING UP A HILL THE CAR WILL DIE, THE LIGHTS AND RADIO STAY ON BUT THEIR IS NO POWER. I HAVE TO PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART THE CAR. A NUMBER OF TIMES THIS HAPPENED IN VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS LIKE ON THE BAY BRIDGE WHERE THERE ISN'T ROOM TO PULL OVER. LAST NIGHT I WAS ON CA 46AND IT WAS VERY FOGGY. THE CAR DIED AND THERE WAS NO SHOULDER TO PULL OVER ON. I HAD TO STOP IN THE LANE AND RESTART THE CAR, IN THE DARK AND FOG, ON A CURVY AND BUSY HWY. MY MECHANIC INDICATES THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH NISSAN ALTIMA'S. NO RECALLS/MANDATORY FIXES HAVE BEEN ISSUED. I'M LOOKING AT A $544 REPAIR BILL. I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF IT MIGHT BE COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I DON'T HAVE THE VIN # BECAUSE THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP. I CAN GET THAT INFO TOMORROW IF YOU NEED IT. *TR

WE HAVE 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH THE 2.5 MOTOR, CARS ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT WAS THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, AND TOLD ME ABOUT THE RECALL. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALER, AND ALL THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ECM, AND THAT WAS ALL., NOTHING ABOUT THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. I TOLD THEM ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID MY CAR WAS NOT UNDER THAT RECALL. HOW CAN THAT BE WHEN THERE IS A RECALL FOR THAT YEAR, THAT MODEL, AND THAT MOTOR. I EVEN CALLED A NISSAN REP; AND HE TOLD ME THE SAME THING. I HAD TO HAD TO HAVE MY CAR THAT WEEKEND SO I TOOK IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED THE SENSOR AND WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS SINCE. I THINK I GOT '!@#$% BY NISSAN. *TR

THERE ARE SEVERAL PROBLEMS : - VEHICLE LOSES ENGINE POWER ON HIGHWAY (CRUISE SET TO 65, DROOPS TO 55 AND THEN PICKS UP AGAIN) - VEHICLE HAS STALLED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS - VEHICLE HAS TROUBLE STARTING AFTER BEING TURNED OFF FOR A SHORT (LESS THAN 30 MINS) PERIOD OF TIME. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED BY MEINEKE AS A FAILED CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. A RECALL AFFECTING THIS CAR (07527000) WAS ISSUES BY ONLY TO FIX THE ECM, NOT THE SENSOR WHICH WAS AFFECTED AS WELL. I HAVE SEVERAL OTHER EXAMPLES OF SENSOR FAILURES ON THE MAKE AND MODEL OF THIS VEHICLE. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THE PART TO BE REPLACED AND ARGUING WITH NISSAN TO MAKE THE REPLACEMENT FREE OF CHARGE. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA WHEN IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON THE INTERSTATE SHE WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES PER HOUR. AFTER I TOOK IT TO THE AUTO PARTS STORE AND THEY DIAGNOSED I WANTED TO RESEARCH HOW I COULD FIX THE PROBLEM THAT IS HOW I RAN ACROSS THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR HAS FAILED, WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO STALL WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS EXCLUDED FROM RECALL #07V527000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). HE WAS INELIGIBLE FOR A FREE REMEDY, SO NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS THE CAR IS CUTTING OFF COMPLETELY. THIS HAPPENED TWICE AND THEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROX 84,00 MILES. THE CHECK ENGINE AND BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON BUT THERE IS NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE. AFTER WAITING A FEW MINUTES THE CAR WILL START BACK UP. THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT NOTICE AND YOU DO NOT HAVE TIME TO PULL OVER. AFTER TAKING CAR INTO DEALER I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $300. THERE IS A RECALL TO HAVE THE CRANKSHAFT REPROGRAMMED BUT IT DOES NOT COVER REPLACEMENT. *TR
