Nissan Altima electrical problems

I PURCHASED MY 2005 ALTIMA BRAND NEW AND I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY TWICE. THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED JUST PASSED THE 36,000 MILE MARK (LESS THEN TWO YEARS) SO I WAS STUCK PAYING OUT OF MY POCKET. THE SECOND INCIDENT JUST HAPPENED IN DEC. 17, 2007 WHERE THE CAR JUST TURNED OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED (POSSIBLE CAUSE: CRANKSHAFT SENSOR), AND THEN THE CAR WOULD NOT START WHILE AT THE INTERSECTION. A QUICK JUMP START GOT ME UP AND RUNNING, BUT THE BATTERY TESTED BAD AT THE LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE.*CN

I HAVE TWO PERSISTENT PROBLEMS WITH MY 2001 ALTIMA. ISSUE #1: THE CAR RANDOMLY STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS (0-10MPH) WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN IN OCTOBER 2006. THIS PROBLEM RESULTS IN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WHICH HAS CAUSED MANY NEAR ACCIDENTS. THERE IS NO PATTERN OR SYMPTOM TO FORECAST WHEN STALLING WILL OCCUR. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP (DEALERSHIP AND OTHERS) NUMEROUS TIMES WITH MECHANICS NEVER ABLE TO "DUPLICATE" THE PROBLEM. AFTER SPENDING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON A NEW BATTERY, LEAD WIRES, NEW SPARK PLUGS AND SPARK PLUG WIRES, MY NISSAN MECHANIC SAID THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO EXCEPT "THROW PARTS AT IT UNTIL SOMETHING STICKS." ISSUE #2: THE CAR IDLES ROUGHLY AND SHAKES UNLESS IN NEUTRAL. THE SHOP SAID THE PROBLEM IS THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET WHICH IS A $600 REPAIR. A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET PROVIDES AN ABUNDANCE OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE ODOMETER WAS PUTTING MORE MILES ON THE VEHICLE THAN WHAT WAS ACTUALLY BEING DRIVEN. THE FAILURE WAS NOTICED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 41,000.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2005 2.5S IN MAY 04'...I'VE BEEN HAVING IGNITION/SENSOR PROBLEMS FOR QUITE SOME TIME. THE PROBLEM: WHEN I TRY TO CRANK THE ENGINE USING THE KEYS PROVIDED (AT PURCHASE) THE CAR WILL HESITATE (SOUNDS LIKE THE ENGINE IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL) I EVEN THOUGHT IT WAS A BATTERY RELATED ISSUE AND CHANGED THE BATTERY...ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAD TO CRANK IT NEARLY 5 TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD START. I ADDRESSED MY ISSUES WITH THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON MANY OCCASIONS BUT THEY WILL ONLY ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM IF/WHEN IT HAPPENS THERE. RECENTLY, I WAS INFORMED THAT A SIMILAR RECALL HAD TAKEN PLACE ON THE 2003-2004 MODELS BUT THAT THE 2005-2006 DID NOT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE...NOT!...I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN NISSAN'S APPROACH TO THIS PROBLEM. IN FACT, AFTER AN ATTEMPT TO FIND OUT WHEN THE PROBLEM WOULD BE FIXED I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WOULD BE SEVERAL MORE WEEKS (DECEMBER 10,2007). *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE THE WINDOWS ARE IN THE UP POSITION, THE DOORS WILL AUTOMATICALLY LOCK AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,000. UPDATED 01/03/08. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED 5-10 MINUTES AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS LOCKED, THE WINDOWS WOULD AUTOMATICALLY ROLL DON AND THE INSIDE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. WHEN THE CONSUMER EXITED THE VEHICLE, AFTER 5-10 MINUTES THE DOOR WOULD LOCK ON ITS OWN. UPDATED 12/31/07

IN JANUARY 2006 I BEGAN EXPERIENCING STALLING EPISODES WITH MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2003 WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WOULD WITHOUT WARNING STALL. THIS OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE AND TWICE HAPPENED ON MY WAY TO WORK ON I95. THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE UNTIL FEB 2007 (IN THE MEANTIME I DROVE THIS UNSAFE CAR). IN FEB 2006 A SENSOR WAS REPLACED THAT HAD BEEN CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I PAID CLOSE TO $2,000 IN UNNECESSARY REPAIRS AND WAS CHARGED FOR A RENTAL CAR. I FOUND TODAY THAT NISSAN IS OFFICIALLY REPORTING MY 2006 ISSUE AS A RECALL. WHILE I'M VERY THANKFUL THAT I WAS NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED OR HAD A CAR CRASH THAT RESULTED IN ANYONE ELSE BEING HURT BY THE UNIDENTIFIED RECALL AT THE TIME OF MY EXPERIENCE I WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE COMPENSATION FOR THE FUNDS THAT I PAID AND I'M NOT SURE HOW YOU PLACE A PRICE TAG ON THE CAR STALLING SEVERAL TIMES AND 2 OF THOSE TIMES BEING ON 195. I HAVE RECEIVED TO DATE AFTER MONTHS OF WORKING DIRECTLY WITH NISSAN AND PRIOR TO TODAY'S ANNOUNCEMENT FINALLY THAT NISSAN IS RECOGNIZING MY ISSUE AS A RECALL AND HOPEFULLY SAVING SEVERAL FUTURE ACCIDENTS AND/OR FATALITIES A SMALL CHECK FOR $550.11. WHICH COMES NOWHERE NEAR COVERING THE MONETARY LOSE I SUFFERED FORGET THE MENTAL ANGUISH OF THE CAR STALLING WITH NO WARNING. *TR

PERIODICALLY MY VEHICLE FAILS TO START ON THE FIRST TRY, IT JUST WON'T TURN OVER, BUT ON THE SECOND TRY IT IS FINE. YESTERDAY THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN OVER AT ALL. IT IS NOT A BATTERY ISSUE AS THE WIPERS/LIGHTS COME ON. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY INDICATED THEY HAVE HAD A FEW COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE. THE VEHICLE IS ACTUALLY 'FLOODED'? I WENT OUT AN HOUR AFTER MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT STARTING THE CAR AND IT STILL DID NOT START. NOT SURE HOW A FUEL INJECTED VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT USE THE ACCELERATOR TO START, GETS FLOODED? THIS MAKES ME NERVOUS I'M GOING TO GET STRANDED SOMEWHERE WITH A VEHICLE THAT PERIODICALLY WILL FLOOD AND NOT START??? THE DEALER DID NOT FIX OR REPLACE ANYTHING. NOT VERY COMFORTING. *TR
