2005 Nissan Altima

I TOOK MY NISSAN ALTIMA IN FOR REPAIR FOR THE RECALL ON IT IN JAN 08 AND WHEN I PICKED UP MY CAR I CB THE NEXT DAY AND ADVISE THEM THAT MY CAR WAS NOT RUNNING CORRECTLY, IT HAS CONTINUE TO GET WORST I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR IN FOR REPAIR ON AUG 20 BECAUSE MY CAR STALLS WHILE MY CAR IS IN MOTION AND THE ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND OFF. THEY CALL ME BACK ON 8/22 AND SAID THAT IT WAS THE SPEEDO CLUSTER AND IT HAS BEEN FIXED CHARGED 420.00. 2 WEEKS LATER MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON AND MY CAR IS STILL STALLING. I FEEL AS IF MY CAR IS GOING TO CUT OFF WHILE I'M ON THE INTERSTATE AND CAUSE A ACCIDENT OR WORST MY LIFE. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THEM AND THEY WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBLY FOR NOT FIXING MY CAR CORRECTLY THEY SAID THAT THE COMPUTER IS SAYING SOMETHING DIFFERENT NOW THAT WHAT THE COMPUTER SAID 2 WEEKS AGO BUT I ADVISE THEM THAT I DID NOT BRING MY CAR THERE FOR AN EXPERIMENT IT WAS TAKEN THERE TO FIX THE STALLING AND ITS STILL DO THE SAME THING. I ASKED THEM FOR MY MONEY BACK SO I CAN GET MY CAR FIX ELSE WHERE. SHEEHY NISSAN OF GLEN BURNIE ALSO SAYS THAT THEY THINK IT MAY BE MY CRANK SENSOR BUT THIS IS WHY I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE RECALL BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING THAT IS NOW HAPPENING WITH MY CAR. I PULL UP HISTORY ON THE NISSAN ALTIMA AND A LOT OF CUSTOMER ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER THEY TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIR ON THE RECALL THE ENGINE LIGHT AND STALLING HAPPENS WITH YOUR VEHICLE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND THEY ARE TAKING IT LIKELY. IT STARTED OUT STALLING AROUND ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK NOW ITS DOING IT EVERYDAY AND THE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. IT WARNED OF SERIOUS PROBLEMS THAT MIGHT ARISE FROM A DEFECT THAT MAKES THE ENGINE POSSIBLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I HAD IT FIXED SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON AND CAR OTHERWISE WAS HICCUPING IN TRAFFIC. I RETURNED TODAY, AND THEY CHARGED ME $250!! FOR FIXING SOMETHING CALLED A CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. SUCH SENSOR WAS, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, PART OF THE RECALL PROBLEM. YET, IT HAS BEEN EXPLAINED TO ME THAT EVEN THOUGH THIS RECALL IS RELATED TO THE SENSOR ISSUE, REPLACING THE SENSOR ITSELF IS NOT CONSIDERED PART OF WHAT IS COVERED BY THE RECALL. IF THAT'S THE CASE, I DON'T GET THE POINT OF THE RECALL. IT OBVIOUSLY IS MORE ABOUT MONEY MAKING AND/OR SAVING FACE WITHOUT PAYING TO FIX A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN OTHERS WITH THESE SAME COMPLAINTS ON LINE. I'D JUST LIKE TO ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE MANY OTHERS SO THAT SOMETHING MIGHT BE DONE. *TR
