2005 Nissan Altima

CAR STARTED MISSING AND STUTTERING THEN SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING FOR A COUPLE DAYS, NEARLY CAUSING 3 ACCIDENTS IN THIS SPAN. ON THE THIRD DAY IT STARTED LOSING POWER AND SHUT OFF CONSTANTLY WHEN AT RED LIGHTS. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SCANNED THE ENGINE CODES. WE REPLACES THE CAMSHAFT AND CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSORS AND THE CAR RAN SMOOTHLY AGAIN. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE ECM REPROGRAM RECALL DONE TO THE CAR AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON AND VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

CARS POWER STARTED FLUTTERING AROUND 45-50 MPH, LIKE IT WAS WANTING TO DIE. IT HAD PREVIOUSLY DIED WHILE IDLEING..CODES WERE CHECKED THEY CAME UP AS BAD CRANK AND CAM SENSOR..AND BAD SPEED SENSOR.AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER..NOTICED CAR WAS UNDER RE-CALL..TOWED IT TO DEALER THEY FLASHED ECM..WHEN WE WERE DRIVING CAR HOME ALL PROBLEMS RE-OCCURRED..HAD CODES CHECKED AT ANOTHER GARAGE ALL THE SAME ONES CAME UP..CALLED DEALER THEY WERE NO HELP AT ALL AND WANTED TO CHARGE US TO CHECK CODES TOLD THEM WE ALREADY HAD THEM AND THEY SAID ITS NOT THEIR PROBLEM...THEY HAVE NO INTEREST IN ADDRESSING THE REAL ISSUES OR FIXING WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM IS, WHAT A RIP-OFF..

MY CAR WOULD ACT LIKE IT WAS SKIPPING A GEAR AND JERK. IT WOULD ALSO SOMETIMES NOT START. THE ULTIMATE FAILURE IS THAT MY CAR STALLS WHILE I'M DRIVING IT. IT USED TO BE EVERY SO OFTEN AND HAS NOW BECOME A DAILY THING. I AM REPLACING THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR MYSELF AS THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. NISSAN KNOWS THIS BUT HAS DONE NOTHING TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO IT WASN'T WORTH MY WHILE TO EVEN CHECK WITH NISSAN TO HAVE THIS FIXED. *TR

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. FROM THE DAY I GOT THE CAR THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH IT STALLING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE RECALL THAT IS ON THE NISSAN FOR THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MINE. I HAVE ALL THE CORRESPONDENCE THAT I HAVE WITH NISSAN. BUT THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WELL YESTERDAY THE CAR SHUT COMPLETELY OFF GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND I WAS ALMOST HIT IN THE REAREND. IT DID THIS 3 TIMES BEFORE I GOT IT HOME. NISSAN NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. IF NOT MY CAR THEN SOMEONE ELSE'S. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE A MAJOR WRECK. *TR

2005 NISSAN ALTIMA - CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. MY 2005 PRE-OWNED NISSAN ALTIMA JUST EXPERIENCED CRANK/START PROBLEMS YESTERDAY. AFTER COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS WERE PERFORMED, THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE ECM AND THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WERE DEFECTIVE. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE 2005 NISSAN MODELS HAD A RECALL ON THE ECM MODULES AND THE CRANKSHAFTS. THEY ADVISED ME TO CONTACT NISSAN TO ENSURE THIS HAD NOT BEEN PREVIOUSLY CORRECTED DURING THE ORIGINAL RECALL. I CONTACTED NISSAN TO FIND OUT THAT IT HAD NEVER BEEN CORRECTED. NISSAN REP DIVYA CHEERAN ADVISED ME THAT THE ECM AND FRAME WERE ON RECALL HOWEVER THE CRANKSHAFT WAS NOT. I INFORMED HER THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAD ALREADY INFORMED ME OF THE RECALL FOR THE CRANKSHAFT. SHE INSISTED THE DEALERSHIP WAS WRONG AND THERE WAS NO RECALL OF ANY CRANKSHAFT ON ANY NISSAN VEHICLES. I TOLD HER THAT I WAS LOOKING AT A CONSUMER AFFAIRS REPORT ON THE INTERNET AS WELL AS THE REPORT/RECALL NOTICE WITH NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AND SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. SHE STILL REFUTED THE FACT THAT THERE HAD BEEN ANY RECALL ON THE CRANKSHAFTS FOR THE 2005 NISSAN ALTIMAS. HOWEVER, SHE ADVISED ME TO TAKE MY CAR INTO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP (SHEEHY NISSAN IN SPRINGFIELD, VA) TO HAVE THE ECM AND FRAME FIXED. SHE STATED THAT ONCE THE ECM WAS FIXED IT WOULD RESOLVE THE CRANKING AND SHUTTING OFF PROBLEMS I WAS EXPERIENCING. I ADVISED HER THAT THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP HAD ALREADY CONFIRMED THAT WOULD NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM WITH THE CRANKSHAFT AND I WOULD LIKE FOR NISSAN TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE RECALL AND FIX THE ECM AND CRANKSHAFT. IT WAS PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE AND RECORD THAT THERE WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS AND COULD BE POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS TO MY HEALTH AND THE HEALTH OF MY NEWBORN WHO FREQUENTLY TRAVELS WITH ME. I ADVISED HER THAT $200 TO FIX THE CRANKSHAFT SHOULD BE NOTHING TO NISSAN AS OPPOSED TO ME FILING A LAWSUIT WITH THEM IF ANY HARM CAME TO ME OR MY CHILD DUE TO THIS HAZARD. CAN YOU PLEASE ASSIST ME WITH GETTING MY CAR FIXED? *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHEN MY CAR REACHES APPROX 60 MILES AN HOUR IT JERKS AS IF IT IS GOING TO CUT OFF. ONE TIME IT DID CUT OFF, JUST SO HAPPEN I WAS ABLE TO PULLOVER. ALSO THE CAR WILL NOT CRANK AT ALL, IT WILL STALL. WE HAVE REPLACED THESE PARTS ON THREE TIMES AND I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR GOING ON THREE YEARS. I WENT ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF OTHERS WERE HAVING THESE ISSUES AND IF YOU LOOK YOU WILL SEE THE SAME COMPLAINTS FROM COUNTLESS CONSUMERS. NO ACCIDENT HAS BEEN REPORTED AS FAR AS I KNOW BUT WHY WAIT UNTIL ONE DOES. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA WHEN IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON THE INTERSTATE SHE WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES PER HOUR. AFTER I TOOK IT TO THE AUTO PARTS STORE AND THEY DIAGNOSED I WANTED TO RESEARCH HOW I COULD FIX THE PROBLEM THAT IS HOW I RAN ACROSS THIS.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR DOWN THE ROAD, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. I ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR BACK UP, AND WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. I THEN HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED, AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR CRANKED AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY, I WENT INTO TOWN, AND THE CAR DID THE SAME THING. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AFTER A FEW TRIES, BUT IT THEN DROVE FUNNY THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE CAR, BUT I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF ANY RECALL. I FOUND IT AFTER SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET WHEN I GOT HOME. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. APPARENTLY THE RECALL IS FOR THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THESE CARS. I AM UPSET BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT THIS RECALL, AND I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS CAR. I BOUGHT IT NEW. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AT ALL NOW, WHICH MEANS I HAVE NO MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. *TR
