THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHO DETERMINED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER CHECKED THE VIN # TO SEE IF IT WAS COVERED UNDER RECALL AND STATED THAT THEIR SYSTEM SHOWED THAT VEHICLE PART HAD BEEN FIXED ON A PREVIOUS RECALL.

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH A FAULTY IGNITION. MY GRANDSON, WHO WAS A SALESMAN AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN 2005, TOOK THE CAR IN TO BE CHECKED BECAUSE MY KEY KEPT GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION . I WAS TOLD THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR REPEATEDLY AND IS GETTING WORSE. MY KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION FOR 5 DAYS THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED. I WILL JUST USE THE LAST OCCURRENCE DATE AS THE 'INCIDENT DATE' BECAUSE IT TOOK THE LONGEST TIME TO GET THE KEY OUT. *NM

I PURCHASED A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA ON 2005, SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR EVERY NOW A THEN, WHEN I PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION IT WILL NOT TURN, I TRY TURN THE KEY IT TURN AND STARTED THE CAR. ON 10/18/06 I TRIED TO START THE CAR WHEN I PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION IT DID NOT TURN, THE KEY GOES IN BUT THE WHEEL IS STOCK AND IT WILL NOT TURN. I SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM CUSTOMER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE INTERNET. I NEED MY CAR SO I HAVE TO TOW MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. I THINK THAT THE IGNITION HAS A DEFECT AND THE COMPANY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY FIXING. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED AFTER PARKED FOR FOUR HOURS, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS SUMMONED AND THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED. IT WAS DETERMINED THE FIRE STARTED IN THE DRIVER DOOR AND COULD BE ELECTRICAL. A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE.

MY VEHICLE'S ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING WHILE WAITING AT A RED LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT EVEN CRANK ITS ENGINE. AFTER 10 MINS THE ENGINE CRANKED AND STARTED, I HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP, AND EXPLAINED OF A RECALL THAT STATED, " THAT SOME 2003 ALTIMAS MIGHT STOP RUNNING WHILE DRIVING DUE TO A PROBLEM BETWEEN THE CRANK ANGLE SENSOR AND THE ECM". WHEN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CALLED ME BACK, THEY STATED THAT I HAD TO HAVE THE POSITION SENSOR REPLACED AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET. WHEN I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT ON THE RECALL NOTICE I HAD RECEIVED IT CLEARLY STATED THAT "IF ANY ONE HAD TO PAY TOP HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED IN BEFORE THE CAMPAIGN THAT THEY BE ELIGIBLE FOR A REIMBURSEMENT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPEATED THAT REPLACING THE SENSOR WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL, AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT, OUT OF POCKET. *NM

I HAVE A 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 S AND MY OIL IS JUST DISAPPEARING FROM THE ENGINE. I DO NOT SEE LEAKING, BUT IT IS BEING CONSUMED SOMEHOW. THERE IS A RECALL SPEAKING OF THIS ISSUE. BUT NISSAN SAYS THAT IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT APART OF THE RECALL. I HAVE THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL, AND YEAR SO I BELIEVE IF MY VEHICLE IS DOING THE SAME THING, THEN SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. MY CAR HAS NOW BEEN PARKED IN THE GARAGE FOR 2 MONTHS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BLOW UP THE ENGINE, BECAUSE IF I DRIVE ANYWHERE, ALL THE OIL IN THE ENGINE WILL BE GONE. *NM
