WE OWNED A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE STARTED JERKING AND THEN STOPPED RUNNING. VEHICLE WAS TAKING TO MECHANIC, AND MECHANIC SAID PROBLEM WAS WITH DEFECTIVE CRANKSHAFT SENSORS. WE COMMUNICATED THIS INFORMATION TO DEALERSHIP, WHO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE WAS DEFECTIVE CRANKSHAFT SENSORS RECALL, BUT THAT OUR VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. CRANKSHAFT SENSORS WERE CHANGED. NEW PARTS WERE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM THE OLD ONES (TOTALLY NEW REDESIGN) CAR HAD ABOUT 60,000 MILES WHEN INCIDENT OCCURRED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEARS WERE GRINDING AND THE CLUTCH PEDAL FELL DOWN WHICH MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT GEARS. HE HAD TO DRIVE ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE OR APPLY EXTREME PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL UNTIL IT BEGAN TO FUNCTION NORMALLY WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MORE FREQUENT DURING THE SUMMER. THE ENGINES OIL PRESSURE DECREASED TO 10 PSI. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE REQUIRED OIL PRESSURE WAS 14 PSI. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE AFTER THEY REPLACED THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. THE DEALER REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER CLUTCH IN 2008 BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR.

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. ON MY WAY BACK HOME ON THE HIGHWAY, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT CHECKED OUT. THEY SAID MY CRANK SENSOR IS FAULTY. NOW THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2002-03 ALTIMAS, BUT THE 2004-2006 ALTIMAS ARE KNOWN TO HAVE THIS PROBLEMS. I HAVE BEEN READING REPORTS ON CONSUMERAFFAIRS.COM AND IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY OWNER OF A 2002-2006 NISSAN ALTIMA IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT (ACCORDING TO OTHER CONSUMERS THAT COMPLAINED TO NISSAN). AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THIS FAILURE, THE CAR CAN STOP IN MOTION. SEVERAL OF THE CONSUMERS HAD THEIR CARS STOP ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH CAN BE FATAL. THE ONLY SYMPTOMS ARE JERKING AND SHAKING OF THE CAR FOLLOWED BY STALLING. THE REPAIR COSTS AROUND $250, BUT IT IS NOT A GURANTEED FIX. MANY CONSUMERS HAD THEM HAPPEN NUMEROUS TIMES, AND HAD TO FIX THEM WITH THEIR OWN MONEY EVERY TIME. I HOPE NHTSA TAKES PROPER ACTION AGAINST NISSAN AND FORCE THEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR MISTAKE AND ISSUE A RECALL. THANK YOU.
