2005 Nissan Altima

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN. I RELY ON MY CAR DAILY TO GET TO MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS. THE CAR STALLS IN PARK ALL LIGHTS START BLINKING THEN DIES. HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AS WELL THE CAR WILL MOVE BUT YOU CANT ACCELERATE ON THE PEDAL THIS HAPPENED IN A TRAFFIC CIRCLE MY FIANCE AND TWO FRIENDS WERE WITH ME AT THE TIME. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS I COULD GET INTO A BAD ACCIDENT AND DIE OR EVEN KILL MY PASSENGERS. I HAVE HAD A MECHANIC RESET MY ECM BUT THIS KEEPS HAPPENING I HAVE TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM ON MY OWN AND HAVE HAD NO LUCK. I OWN A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA 3.5SE V6 FOUR DOOR SEDAN AND I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE I WAS HOPING MY EXPERIENCE WOULD BE AWESOME IVE ALWAYS LIKED THE CARS NOW HONESTLY IM SCARED TO DRIVE IN IT AND WONT RECCOMEND ANYONE GETTING ONE. I HAVENT HAD ANY ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING. ME HAVING THIS CAR IS REQUIRED MEDICALLY. ALSO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ONE DAY STAYED ON FOR A MONTH THEN JUST SHUT OFF SO NOW I HAVE NO CLUE WHATS GOING ON WITH MY CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, A WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

MY CAR IS BEING ILLEGALLY REMOTELY HACKED BY AN I.T. TECHNICIAN BY THE NAME OF [XXX] WHO IS ILLEGALLY HACKING MY VEHICLE WITH BLUETOOTH. HIS BLUETOOTH DEVICE NUMBER THAT COMES UP IS [XXX] (WY STANDS FOR THE FIRST 2 LETTERS OF HIS LAST NAME, 23 IS PART OF HIS DATE OF BIRTH WHICH IS [XXX].) HIS # [XXX]. HIS ADDRESS: [XXX]. HIS EMAIL: [XXX]. [XXX] IS DANGEROUSLY HACKING MY VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. [XXX]IS VERY DANGEROUS HE IS HACKING MY CAR ALMOST DAILY, SEVERAL TIMES DAILY. ***HE DOES EVERYTHING LISTED IN THE FBI IC3 ARTICLED CALLED "MOTOR VEHICLES INCREASINGLY VULNERABLE TO REMOTE EXPLOITS." *** HE HAS DISABLED MY ENGINE EVEN CAUSING 2 CAR ACCIDENTS RECENTLY IN JUNE & JULY 2017 (WHEN I WAS DRIVING UNDER 10 MILES PER HOUR), HE HAS DISABLED MY BRAKES, HE HAS HACKED MY TRACTION AT LEAST 100 TIMES AND THE LIGHT COMES ON STATING TCS OFF/SLIP INDICATING THAT THE TRACTION IS DISABLED-THE POLICE TOLD ME TO PRESS THE BUTTON ON THE DASHBOARD THAT SAYS TCS OFF WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND IT WILL RESET ITSELF-BUT IT DOESN'T BECAUSE [XXX] IS REMOTELY HACKING MY CAR. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING AT A SLOW PACE USUALLY UNDER 10 MILES AN HOUR IS WHEN HE DISABLES MY ENGINE COMPLETELY REMOTELY AND HE CAUSED 2 CAR ACCIDENTS BY DOING THIS. BUT HE DISABLES THE TRACTION AT ANY SPEED OR EVEN BEFORE I TURN THE CAR ON, HE DISABLES IT WITH BLUETOOTH AND WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON, I HAVE NO TRACTION. HE IS CLEARLY TRYING TO HARM/HURT ME. WHY ELSE WOULD ANYONE DO THIS? HE IS CLEARLY SICK AND HIS SICK DANGEROUS BEHAVIOR IS ESCALATING. EVERYDAY ILLEGALLY DANGEROUSLY REMOTELY HACKS MY VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES, DISABLED THE TRACTION. AS YOU KNOW, CAR HACKING IS VERY DANGEROUS-HE DOESN'T CARE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS DRIVING MYSELF AND CO WORKER HOME FROM WORK. WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET MY CAR JUST STALLED OUT AND WOULD NOT START. I COULD HAVE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY, OUR LIVES WERE PUT AT RISK DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE CAM SHAFT POSITION CENSOR ON MY 2005 NISSIAN ALTIMA. THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE AN UPDATE ON THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE CAMSHAFT POSITION CENSOR AND THE FUEL PUMP. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO AN INCOMPLETE RECALL THAT WAS PERFORMED ON THE CAMSHAFT CENSOR. *JS

TAKATA RECALL WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR STARTED MAKING A SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF MY CAR I TURNED DOWN THE MUSIC TO LISTEN TO THE SOUND. AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR MADE ONE LAST SOUND THEN THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING SO I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I GOT OUT TO CHECK THE CAR AND NOTICED IT WAS SMOKING I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND NOTICED IT WAS ON FIRE. I GRABBED MY KIDS OUT THE CAR AND MY BELONGINGS AND WALKED DOWN THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY JUST IN CASE THE CAR BLEW UP. I CALLED THE AMBULANCE AND NOTIFIED THEM ABOUT THE CAR. ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER MY WHOLE ENTIRE CAR WAS IN FLAMES. AS I WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY SOMEONE STOPPED AND LET ME AND MY KIDS SIT IN THE CAR UNTIL MY RIDE CAME. THE FIRE FIGHTERS CAME AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. THEY TOWED THE CAR AND WE LEFT.

LAST YEAR, I NOTICED MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAD APPEARED. I HAD THE CODE CHECKED AND IT WAS THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. I HAD THIS PART REPLACED AND IT DROVE FINE FOR A WHILE. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, THIS LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE SENSOR HAD GONE BAD AGAIN. THIS CAUSES MY CAR SO DRIVE VERY SLUGGISH AND GO DEAD WHEN DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SAW WHERE NISSAN HAD A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR THIS PART ON THE SAME YEAR/MAKE/MODEL OF MY CAR. I CONTACTED THEM AND THEY SAID MY CAR WASN'T COVERED UNDER THEIR RECALL AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS GONE BAD. I THINK MY CAR SHOULD BE COVERED AS WELL. THEY TOLD ME TO REPORT THIS ISSUE TO NHTSA.

MY GAS GUAGE READ HALF, WHILE TURNING CAR RAN OUT OF GAS. POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FAILED WHEN ENGINE SHUT OFF. FORTUNATELY I WAS TURNING INTO INSIDE LANE ON 8 LANE STREET BECAUSE IT TOOK ALL 5 LINES TO SAFEL ROLL TO STOP. AFTER ASKING NISSAN 700 TO CHECK FUEL SYSTEM SENSO 4/BOLT 1 PLUG SOLID PIECE. WENT TO AAA $150 TO CHECK AND DETERMINED GUAGE NOT SENSOR. $600 TO MAYBE REPAIR PART. CALLED NISSAN 6 BOLTS 1 PLUG TO REPLACE GUAGE MODULE WITH 3RD PARTY REPAIRED USED MODULE FROM ANOTHER STATE. MODULE HAS TO BE SENT PRIOR TO 3RD PARTY SENDING PART. INTERNET HORROR STORIES. 6-60 DAY TURN AROUND AND VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN WHILE PART IS OUT OF CAR. MAIN REASON: SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER ARE PART OF MODULE. MODULE REQUIRES REPROGRAMMING TO CURRENT VEHICLE MILEAGE BEFORE MOVING. NISSAN SHOULD CARRY PARTS IN STOCK DUE TO BOTH DANGEROUS SAFETY AND MILEAGE ISSUES RELATED TO FAILURE OF EITHER MODULE AR FUEL SENSOR. I AM PRETTY STRONG ALTHOUGH 66 BUT YOUGER, FEMALE OR OLDER FOLKS IN SIMILAR SITUATIONS COULD END UP IN BUILDING, TREE OR ANOTHE VEHICLE. NOT KNOWING WHEN CAR IS DIE WITHOUT WARNING IS A DIRE SAFET ISSUE.. RECALLS SHOULD BE ENFORCED BY FAILURE NUMBERS, NOT %AGE OF FAILURES PER MODEL. 50% OF A MODEL THAT SOLD 200 IS NOT AS DANGEROUS AS 50% OF 100,000 SOLD. THE 2005 ALTIMA SER WAS A VERY LIMITED MODEL OF ALTIMA BUT OEM PARTS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE UNTIL AT LEAST A MAJORITY OF THEM ARE OFF THE ROAD WHEN THE RELATE TO SAFETY. NISSAN SEEMS TO GET AWAY WITH OUT RECALLS FOR SAFETY RECALLS, HIGH FREQUENCY ISSUES, SERVICE GUAGING AND FROM WHAT I HEAR KNOWN LEMON PROBLEMS. WHY????
