2006 Nissan Altima

WHILE DRIVING ON THE I95 THE CAR SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT RESTART AT 55MPH. THANK GOD, I DID NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND WAS ABLE TO COAST OVER TO THE GUARDRAIL. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC THAT INFORMED ME IT APPEARED TO BE THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AND SAID SINCE IT WAS A RECALL ITEM I SHOULD HAVE IT BROUGHT TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MILLER NISSAN IN FAIRFIELD CT AND INFORMED THEM OF MY MECHANICS FINDINGS. THEY CHECKED THE CAR AND TOLD ME IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND REPLACED IT EVEN WITH ME EXPRESSING THAT MY CURRENT MECHANIC ALREADY CHECKED THAT. AFTER REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP THEY CALLED ME BACK AND SAID IT STILL WASN'T WORKING. IT ENDED UP BEING THE ECM ALONG WITH ANOTHER SENSOR!! I EXPRESSED HOW UPSET I WAS THAT THIS SENSOR FAILED WHY I WAS DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY! I AM CURRENTLY WORKING WITH NISSAN CORPORATE RECALL DEPARTMENT BECAUSE EVERYTHING I'M READING IS STILL INDICATING THAT THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR COULD CAUSE MALFUNCTIONS IN OTHER SENSORS IN THE CAR!! I'M NOT HAPPY THAT NISSAN IS CHARGING ME FOR THE NEW FUEL PUMP THEY INSTALLED ALONG WITH THE SENSORS TOTALING $1,943,00!! *TR

MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY VEHICLE'S ENGINE LURCHED FORWARD, AS IF IT WAS NOT GETTING GAS. I MADE IT HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. I THOUGHT I HAD PURCHASED BAD GAS. THE NEXT MORNING MY CAR WOULD NOT START, IT TOOK SEVERAL TIMES FOR IT TO FINAL START. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I RAN A SCAN AND THE SCAN SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WHICH I DID AND IT DID NO GOOD. THE ENGINE IS VERY HARD TO START AND IS CONSUMING A LOT OF GAS. THIS PAST WEEKEND THE ENGINE STARTED TO BUCK WHEN IDLING IN TRAFFIC. I WAS AFRAID THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO DIE AND CATCH FIRE. I FOUND A PREVIOUS RECALL THAT SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE MINE WITH THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. I CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID MY ENGINE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THIS ANGERED ME THAT THEY DO NOT TAKE THESE THINGS SERIOUSLY ENOUGH TO INCLUDE ALL 2.5L ENGINES FOR THAT YEAR. THE RECALL ID # 67703 - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING IS THE ONE I'M REFERRING TOO. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON & STAYED ON THEN MY CAR BECAME SLUGGISH & I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD & IT CUT OFF, IT WOULDN'T START AFTER TRYING TO RESTART IT 4 OR 5 TIMES, THEN IT STARTED BACK UP & I BEGAN TO DRIVE & THE CAR JERKED THEN BECAME SLUGGISH ONCE AGAIN & CUT OFF, "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT REMAINED ON. *TR
