Nissan Altima electrical problems

WHILE GOING 75MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL THE GAUGES (RPM, MPH, FUEL, ENGINE TEMP) DROPPED DOWN TO ZERO. ONLY THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHTS REMAINED ON. ALL WHILE A COMBINATION OF #'S AND LETTERS CAME UP ON THE ODOMETER (EVEN THE ODOMETER WENT BLANK). IT WAS A SHOCK AND I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO REACT TO THIS. MY FIRST REACTION WAS TO TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL VIA THE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL, AS SOON AS I DID IT THIS CAUSED ALL THE GAUGES TO COME BACK TO LIFE INCLUDING THE ODOMETER. VERY WEIRD ISSUE. *TR

THE FUEL LEVEL IS NOT ACCURATE. IT FIRST STARTED DOING THIS TELLING ME I HAD A 1/4 TANK LEFT, WHEN I RAN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSTATE. I THEN PUT GAS IN IT AND SURE ENOUGH THAT'S WHAT IT WAS. EVER SINCE THEN THE CAR NEVER GIVES ACCURATE READINGS, I CAN FILL ALL THE WAY UP AND IT WILL ONLY SHOW THAT IT IS 3/4 FULL OR SUCH BUT NEVER IS PRECISE. THIS CAN BE A VERY BIG ISSUE FOR SOMEONE THAT DOES NOT HAVE A GAS STATION NEARBY LIKE IT HAPPENED TO ME. *TR

VEHICLE HAS STALLED - ENGINE STOPPED - IN TRAFFIC SEVERAL TIMES. THE CAM AND CRANK SHAFT SENSORS ARE THE CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE AND NISSAN REFUSES TO RECALL THESE PARTS. IT IS ABSURD THAT THE SAME PARTS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR OTHER ALTIMAS BUILT IN THE SAME YEAR, YET SEVERAL VINS, INCLUDING MINE, WERE EXCLUDED. THE RECALL FOR MY VIN WAS TO REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER TO PREVENT THE FAILED PARTS FROM TELLING THE COMPUTER TO SHUT THE CAR OFF. THIS RECALL HAS DONE NOTHING TO PREVENT THE ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY BUT ALSO OTHER DRIVERS. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES ON THE INTERNET BY OTHER DRIVERS. WHEN WILL THE NHTSA STAND UP FOR THE CITIZENS IT WAS CREATED TO PROTECT? *TR

NISSAN ALTIMA 2002 KEEPS HAVING PROBLEM WITH THE CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT SENSORS AND ONCE YOU REPLACE THEM A COUPLE MONTHS LATER YOU'LL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES YOUR CAR TO STOP RANDOMLY IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHICH COULD CAUSE YOU TO GET INTO A CAR ACCIDENT OR WORSE DEATH. NISSAN KNOWS THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE BUT THEY CHOOSE TO IGNORE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MANY DEALERS AND AUTO REPAIR TECHNICIANS AND THEY ALL AGREE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN ALTIMA. THIS IS SAD AND I REALLY WISH THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE DRIVING. I WAS DRIVING IN MY CAR WITH MY NIECE WHEN MY CAR JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC SCARED ME TO DEATH!!! BECAUSE WE COULD HAVE BEEN REALLY HURT AND THE SIMPLE FACT THAT I REPLACED THIS PART 3 MONTHS BEFORE THIS OCCURRED IS REALLY TERRIBLE. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH SENSOR AND I'M STILL HAVING AN ISSUE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO CORRECT BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GETS HURTS. THE 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA IS A HORRIBLE CAR ITS JUST MANUFACTURED ALL WRONG AND IS CONSTANTLY GIVING ME ISSUES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE I-95 I BEGAN TO APPROACH SLOWER TRAFFIC. AS I PROCEEDED TO SLOW DOWN, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, MY STEERING GOT STIFF, AND THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY OFF. WHEN I PULLED OVER AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR AGAIN IT HESITATED BUT EVENTUALLY IT STARTED. HOWEVER, THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT THAT HAS OCCUR, THE CAR NO LONGER STARTS AT ALL AND ONLY CRANKS BUT WON'T TURN OVER. *TR

THIS 2006 NISAAN ALTIMA IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME MALFUNCTIONS AS IN PREVIOUS RECALLS. THE CRANK SENSOR IS CAUSING THE CAR TO ABRUPTLY STOP RUNNING IF DRIVEN AT LOW SPEED. INCIDENT ALMOST OCCURRED ON PA TURNPIKE DURING AM RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND FINALLY STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA IN MID-DAY. I HAD TO PUT CAUTION LIGHTS ON IMMEDIATELY AND HOPE THAT I DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE RE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER. IT IS SUCH A MAJOR CONCERN AND NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION ONCE AGAIN I SEE. THANKS SO MUCH! *TR

THIS CAR WAS PART OF A RECALL DUE TO A ENGINE COOLING DEFECT, THEY CLAIMED IT WAS FIXED. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN LAST YEAR MY HEAT WOULDN'T WORK, INSTEAD THE AIR CONDITIONER WOULD JUST KICK ON, COULD NOT BE FIXED. I HAD NO HEAT LAST WINTER. I HAD A FRIEND WHO WAS A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT THIS YEAR TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND MADE A TEMP FIX AND I HAVE HEAT SOME OF THE TIME. HE DISCONNECTED THE A/C FOR NOW. THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN TO A 5 NOW 6 YEAR OLD CAR. TRY BEING IN 0 DEGREE WEATHER WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER BLOWING AT YOU AND BEING TOLD THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG. THIS HAS TO BE A DEFECT BECAUSE I HAVE HAD MANY 10-15 YEAR OLD CARS AND NEVER HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED TO THAT I CAN HAVE HEAT, AND NOW THAT MY A/C IS DISCONNECTED I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY DEFROSTER WORKING, BUT A SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR NOT GETTING FROST BITE IN THE FRIGID TEMPS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GAUGES IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD FAIL INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO, WHENEVER THE GAUGES DID WORK, THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE POWER ABNORMALLY. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP PERFORMED A RECALL ON OUR VEHICLE ON 06/10/2008 FOR THE R0712 ECM PROGRAM RECALL AND THE P5216 RECALL. SINCE THAT WORK, THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT HAS BEEN ON IN THE VEHICLE WHICH REPORTED A VALVE PROBLEM. PRIOR TO THIS WORK BEING DONE, THE LIGHT DID NOT GO ON. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR SERVICED 4 TIMES FOR THE THE REPAIR OF THE VALVE, AND NOW A FULL DIAGNOSIS NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIGURE OUT WHY THE VALVE KEEPS SHORTING OUT. IT APPEARS IT IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL OR WITH THE COMPUTER.
