VEHICLE DIED WHILE COASTING DOWN THE SIDE STREET. ONCE I STOPPED THE VEHICLE I PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED THE KEY TO OFF. WHEN TRYING TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WOULD CRACK, BUT WOULD NOT START. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN LISTED FOR A RECALL FOR THE 2.5 ENGINE BUT NOT FOR MY 3.5 ENGINE, AND NISSAN WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP THE SITUATION. *TR

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. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE 5-7 TIMES WHERE THE CAR WOULDN'T START OR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ( DECREASING IN SPEED). *TR

CAR WOULD COMPLETEY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING 55 PLUS.AT ABOUT 20 MILES OR MORE AND ON FREEWAY WAS VERY DANGEOURS. WOULD NOT TURN ON UNTILE 20 MINS. LATER AND NOTICE IF ENGINE WAS WARM IT SHUT IT DOWN. HOPEFULLY THIS WORKS BUT CAR HAS TO HAVE MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACE AND BEING HANDICAP NEED THIS CAR.IV NOTICE 2.5 HAS SAME PROBLEMS AND RECALLED. IF I HAD BEEN IN MIDDLE LANE OR NO AREA TO PULL OVER ACCIDENT WOULD OF HAPPEN PLUS YOU LOSE ALL POWER STEERING. *TR

PROBLEM BEGUN BY MY VEHICLE BEING HARD TO START. YOU COULD ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR FOR 5 OR SO MINUTES WITHOUT SUCCESS. YOU COULD WAIT ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE WOULD EVENTUALLY START BUT RUN PRETTY ROUGH. IT WOULD ALSO PERFORM WITH POOR POWER DURING OPERATION. THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE WHEN THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON. NOW THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 4 TO 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE ENGINE WILL RE-START BUT RUNS ROUGH. I'M AFRAID THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AT THE WRONG PLACE AND TIME MY WIFE AND FAMILY CAN BE HURT OR KILLED. I READ A RECALL ON DEFECT OF THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR WHICH CAUSES THE IDENTICAL SYMPTOMS THAT MY CAR HAS BUT WHEN I TOOK IT TO CANNON NISSAN AT JACKSON MS. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS? PLEASE GIVE ME A RESPONSE ON THIS IF YOU CAN AT [XXX] OR [XXX]. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR CARE AND ASSISTANCE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
