2006 Nissan Altima

TAKATA CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT SENSORS. HAD BOTH OF THEM FAIL ON OUR ALTIMA IN PAST 2 YEARS AT THE COST OF $800. WHICH THE DEALER HAS MADE US PAY FOR. THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY LEAVE YOU STRANDED AND WILL NOT START AT ALL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON TOO. CALLED FOR TOWING BUT THEN CAR "MIRACULOUSLY STARTED" AFTER STRANDED FOR 1 HOUR IN DANGEROUS LOCATION. DROVE DIRECTLY TO DEALER. WHO RAN TESTS AND DECLARED SENSOR FAULTY. DEALER CLAIMS THE VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL... WELL I THINK SOMEONE NEEDS TO CHECK THE DETAILS ON THIS. OBVIOUSLY THEY MISSED ALL OF THE OTHER VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THESE FAULTY SENSORS THAT WERE MANUFACTURED DURING THE SAME TIME. VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMER

I CURRENTLY HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, I SCANNED AND PULLED THE CODE WITH MY OWN PERSONAL SCANNER THE CODE WAS P0507 (IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE) THE CODE WAS CLEARED, NOW ANOTHER CODE IS BEING THROWN WHICH IS THE TPS(THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR) AND THE IATS(INTAKE AIR TEMP SENSOR BANK 1) I HEARD THAT NISSIAN HAD A RECALL ON THIS MATTER SO I RESEARCHED IT WITH MY VIN NUMBER AND NOTHING SHOWED UP. I HEARD THE ECU NEEDS TO BE REPROGRAMMED AND THE PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED. THIS MATTER NEEDS TO BE ATTENDED TO BEFORE SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS HAPPENS TO ME OR MY FAMILY WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.
