NISSAN HAS NOT BEEN COOPERATIVE WITH ME ON THIS MATTER, THEY HAVE BEEN GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND ON THIS MATTER SINCE DAY ONE!!! NISSAN DID NOT OFFER TO GIVE ME A LOANER CAR, I HAD TO RENT A CAR MYSELF FOR 6 WEEKS STRAIGHT. NISSAN REFUSES TO PAY MY RENTAL EXPENSE AND THE DAMAGES DONE TO MY GARAGE DUE TO THIS FIRE. NISSAN ALSO REFUSES TO PAY FOR SMOKE DAMAGES TO MY HOUSE.

I TOWED THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED FROM AND THEY TESTED RIGHT THEN, THE CAR WON'T START BUT SPARKS WITH ALOT OF WHITE SMOKE FROM THE TAIL PIPE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW ON 7/4/04 WITH 50 MILES ON IT.*AK

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START ONCE THE KEY WAS TURNED. AFTER TRYING ABOUT 15-20 TIMES, IT WILL START AND DARK SMOKE EMITTED FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE DEALER STATED THAT ALL CODES WERE NORMAL AND SUGGESTED THE BATTERY BE REPLACED, HOWEVER THEY DID NOT REPLACE IT AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. *JB
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 2.5L ENGINE, THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CAN OVERHEAT CAUSING A BRIEF INTERRUPTION IN THE SIGNAL OUTPUT FROM THE SENSOR.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE INTERRUPTION IN THE SIGNAL FROM THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION 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. CERTAIN MY 2006 ALTIMAS WHICH HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY REMEDIED UNDER RECALL CAMPAIGN 06V223 (NISSAN R0606) ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL SINCE THE REPROGRAMMING FOR 06V223 ALSO INCLUDED THIS REPROGRAMMING. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 31, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
