I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. MY CAR SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I HAVE NOT BEEN INJURED YET ,BUT IT COULD STILL HAPPEN. I HAD THE COMPUTER REPROGRAMMED AS DEFINED IN THE RECALL INFORMATION, BUT THE CAR IS STILL BEHAVING BADLY. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE AND I WORK 30 MINUTES AWAY FROM MY HOME. THE RIDE TO WORK IS DANGEROUS AND MY CAR'S ENGINE PROBLEM COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. NISSAN REFUSED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEMS OTHER THAN REPROGRAMMING THE COMPUTER WHICH HAD NO REAL IMPACT ON THE PROBLEM. I HAVE REPLACED THE PART THAT WAS DESCRIBED BY A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AS FAULTY AND THERE IS STILL A PROBLEM. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES IN DANGER. THIS MUST STOP. *TR
