2006 Nissan Altima

WHEN MY PARENTS FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR THE RIGHT PASSENGER SEAT WOULD BE SHAKING AT THAT TIME THE CAR HAD 52,000 MILES ON IT RIGHT AFTER WE BOUGHT IT ON APRIL 10TH 2012 FROM THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AT THAT TIME THEY CHECKED IT AND THE CAR HAS 117,000 MILES NOW AND SOMETIMES THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SHAKE AND VIBRATING WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING IT 55 TO 60 MILES PER HOUR SO I THINK NISSAN NEEDS TO DO A RECALL IT TO CHECK THE PROBLEM OUT. *TR

THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AT VARIOUS TIMES WITHOUT WARNING AT LOW SPEEDS AND AT IDLE - NO POWER STEERING, BRAKES, OR ACCELERATION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SET WITH OBIDSII CODE OF PO725, FAILED CRANK ANGLE SENSOR. BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER RECALL CAMPAIGN 07V-527, AS IT IS A 2.5L 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA MANUFACTURED IN FEBRUARY OF 2006. MANUFACTURER STATES NO RECALL IN EFFECT FOR THIS VEHICLE UNDER THAT CAMPAIGN, ALTHOUGH SYMPTOMS ARE IDENTICAL TO CAMPAIGN RECALL ISSUE.CONTACTED MANUFACTURER, WHO STATED MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THIS RECALL, AS IT IS A RECALL FOR SPECIFIC LOCATIONS OF PRODUCTION, NOT JUST PRODUCTION DATES, WHICH WAS NOT REFERENCED IN THEIR DEFECT INFORMATION REPORT TO THE NHTSA. *TR

MY NISSAN ALTIMA VIN # INCLUDED SEPARATELY, HAS ABOUT 90,000 MILES ON IT. IT WAS BOUGHT FEBRUARY 2007 AND HAS BEEN OWNED BY ME SINCE THEN (FIRST AND ONLY OWNER). I PERFORMED MY 90,000 MILE SERVICING TODAY AND WAS NOTIFIED BY MY MECHANIC THAT THE FLOOR BOARDS ON PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVER SIDE (UNDERCARRIAGE) ARE RUSTING AND I CAN SEE A HOLE OPENING UP THERE. HE SHOWED ME WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR MY CAR TO GET FIXED AT THE SHOP. THE REST OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE SEEMED FINE. THIS INDICATES A MANUFACTURING DEFECT TO ME. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE: MODERN VEHICLES OUGHT NOT TO ROT LIKE SO, AND SUCH A ROT EXPOSES THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER AT GREAT RISK WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. I AM GETTING EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE NOW OPERATING THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS SERVED ME WELL, AND THE ENGINE/DRIVETRAIN HAS ITSELF BEEN TROUBLE FREE. HOWEVER, IF THE FLOOR BOARDS ROT LIKE THIS, I AM UNSURE ABOUT THE VEHICLE'S OVERALL STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. *TR
