FIRST OF ALL I NOTICED ON 06/07/11 THAT MY 2004 NISSAN ALTIMA3.5 SE PASSENGER FLOOR BOARD HAS A BIG RUST SPOT WHICH IS ABOUT 11 INCHES BY 7 INCHES, BUT THE REST OF THE FLOOR BOARD IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. HUH. ALSO THE TIMING TENSION CHAIN TENSIONER WENT BAD ON 05/01/12, WITH 86000 MILES AND HAD TO BE REPAIRED WHICH WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR, AND SAW THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE ALTIMA 3.5 L ENGINE. HMMMM. AND THEN, THE CAR KEPT ON STALLING OUT GOING DOWN THE ROAD, WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CAM SHAFT SENSORS, AND HAD TO HAVE THEM REPLACED, NOW MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF, BUT ENGINE IS RUNNING GOOD NOW. I BOUGHT A NEW 2012 ALTIMA 3.5 SL BACK IN DECEMBER 2011, KEPT THE 04 ALTIMA, MOST OF THESE PROBLEMS HAPPENED FIVE MONTHS AFTER BUYING THE 2012 DON'T THINK. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN ALTIMA, I WAS ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD GRANDSON WHEN MY CAR STALLED, I TRIED TO START MY CAR SEVERAL TIME BEFORE IT WOULD TURN BACK ON. THE PROBLEM IS THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR! THEY HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM ON THEIR ALTIMAS SINCE 2002. AND ARE STILL EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM. ONLY NOW INSTEAD OF PAYING FOR THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR TO BE REPLACED (AS THEY DID IN 2002) THEY WILL ONLY REPROGRAM THE ECM. I HAD TO HAVE 2 MALFUNCTION CAMSHAFT SENSORS REPLACED.THE CIRCUIT BOARD FOR THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR MAY HAVE AN IMPROPER SOLDER JOINT DUE TO SOLDER DEFORMATION HAD PRODUCED AN IMPROVED CAMSHAFT/ CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. WHICH TELLS ME THERE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT DON'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. WHAT WILL IT TAKE A FATALITY! THIS IS APPEARING IN ALL DIFFERENT YEARS OF THIS MODEL OF CAR.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND SUDDENLY MY CAR STOPPED WORKING. THEN I GET IT CHECKED FROM THE MECHANICS AND ITS SAYS THAT CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AND SPEED SENSOR MALFUNCTION. *TR
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 2.5L ENGINE, THE CRANK ANGLE SENSOR IS AFFECTED BY TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS. UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS, THESE VARIATIONS IN TEMPERATURE CAN BE LARGE ENOUGH TO CAUSE A BRIEF INTERRUPTION IN THE SIGNAL OUTPUT FROM THE SENSOR.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE INTERRUPTION IN THE SIGNAL FROM THE SENSOR IS SO BRIEF THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM) LOGIC DOES NOT HAVE TIME TO DIAGNOSE THE CONDITION, THE ENGINE MAY STOP RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AT A LOW SPEED INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE ECM FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 21, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
