SUMMARY: I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5L. THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WAS HARD STARTING. I READ THE CODE (PO335) AND IT SHOWS IT IS A PROBLEM WITH MY CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I CHECK IT ONLINE, AND FOUND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 2007 (THE CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS 07V527000) OF COURSE THE DEALERSHIP SAID MY VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED HOW CONVENIENT. MY NEXT CAR WILL BE A TOYOTA *JS

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, AT 70 MPH, MY CAR BUCKED AND THEN SHUT DOWN. LOSING ALL CONTROL, IT COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. WHILE OFF YOU LOSE POWER-STEERING, ABS ETC. LUCKILY I WAS ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF HIGHWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. CAME TO A COASTING STOP. WHEN TO START MY CAR AGAIN, AND IT TOOK A WHILE FOR IT TO TURN OVER. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WOULD ROUTINELY BUCK, AND HICCUP AS IF IT WERE TRYING TO SHUT ITSELF OFF. I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER, HAVE THE ECM REPROGRAMMED, AS THEY THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE THE ISSUE. GOT IT DONE, AND A DAY LATER, SAME THING HAPPENED, MY CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I GOT IT RUNNING, AND THEN AS I GOT NEARER HOME, THE CAR SHUT DOWN AGAIN AT AN INTERSECTION. I WAS LUCKY I DIDN'T GET IN A WRECK. FURIOUSLY, I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER, AND BROUGHT IT BACK IN. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, IT WAS NOTED THE CAM/CRANKSHAFT SENSORS WERE BAD. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY NISSAN, AS THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR 2000 - 2003 MODELS OF THEIR CARS IN THE PAST. I GOT THEM REPLACED AND PAID OUT OF POCKET TO DO SO. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY WERE DISRESPECTFUL AND NOT HELPFUL AT ALL. THEY KNOW THAT THE ISSUE IS STILL ONGOING WITH THEIR VEHICLES. ITS A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION AND SHOULD NOT BE UP TO THE CONSUMER TO FIX THE ISSUE AS ITS A FLAW IN THEIR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS RIGHT AWAY AS THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. *TR
