ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA WHICH WAS JUST HANDED DOWN TO MY DAUGHTER AS HER FIRST CAR FOR HER 17TH BIRTHDAY IN JANUARY. WHILE ON HER WAY TO SCHOOL ONE MORNING IN MARCH THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF AT A STOP LIGHT AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. SHE OBVIOUSLY HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO AND IT WAS POURING RAIN. SOMEONE BEHIND HER WAS KIND ENOUGH TO HELP A STRANDED TEENAGER AND SHE WAS ABLE TO CALL ME. WHEN I ARRIVED TO THE INTERSECTION I HOPPED IN HER CAR, TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN BACK ON, PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND IT SEEMED FINE. I NOTICED THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT HAD COME ON. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND HE PULLED UP A RECALL FOR MY EXACT VEHICLE AND THE EXACT SITUATION. IT READS: CRANK POSITION SENSOR RECALL - THIS COULD CAUSE THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON AND THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING DURING VEHICLE OPERATION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. HE REFERRED ME TO SEE THE DEALERSHIP RIGHT AWAY. I DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIM THAT THIS RECALL WAS VIN SPECIFIC AND MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED. I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED AND THAT NISSAN DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THE PRODUCT THEY PRODUCE. FURTHERMORE, NISSAN APPARENTLY HAS NO REGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS AND THE PEACE OF MIND THAT THE CAR WE BOUGHT IS RELIABLE. THE NISSAN DEALER SAID IT WILL BE NO LESS THAN $350 TO REPLACE BOTH THE CAM AND CRANK POSITION SENSORS WITH LABOR. THE MECHANIC SHOP I WENT TO QUOTED ME $110 FOR PARTS AND $50 LABOR TOTALING $160. AGAIN, I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN. I CAN TELL YOU FOR SURE THAT MY FAMILY WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN VEHICLE. I WILL DO MY VERY BEST TO ENCOURAGE CAR SHOPPERS TO STAY FAR AWAY FROM NISSAN BECAUSE OF THE SIMPLE FACT THAT AFTER THE INITIAL PURCHASE YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE NISSAN TO RECONSIDER THIS PARTICULAR RECALL AND PERFORM BETTER BUSINESS PRACTICES AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
MY 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND ON THE ENGINE AND RUNS ROUGH. I TRIED USING FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER BUT IT DID NOT WORK. I ALSO TRIED OIL TREATMENTS AND CHANGING THE OIL BUT NON WORKED. I TOOK TO A NISSAN CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND TOLD ME INTAKE VALVE SCREWS WERE LOOSE AND CREATING A KNOCKING SOUND THAT THE BUTTERFLY IS HALF OPEN CAUSING THE CAR TO IDLE ROUGHLY. THE MECHANIC ALSO SAID THE THIS HAPPENS ALOT WITH THIS CARS, ALTIMAS AND SENTRA AND THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2004 AND 2005 MODELS BUT NOT 2003 EVEN IF IT HAS THE SAME ENGINE. HE ALSO INFORMED ME THAT IF I DON'T GET IT FIXED THE IT WILL BREAK MY ENGINE AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ON THE SAME CAR I ALSO HAD TO PAY FOR A CRANK SENSOR THE FAILED ON ME. NISSAN SAID THE SAME THING, RECALL ON THE 2004 AND 2005 BUT NOT 2003. IT CAUSED MY CAR TO STALL AND RUN ROUGHLY. TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY SAID NOTHINGS WRONG AND TAKE IT BACK TO THEM WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON. AFTER A MONTH IT DID TURN ON. LUCKILY HAVE WARRANTY BUT THEY STILL CHARGE ME. PLEASE HELP, I'M NOT LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO REPLACE MY CAR JUST TO HAVE NISSAN FIX WHAT THEY MESSED UP ON. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I OWN A 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH A 2.5 L ENGINE. I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR DYING AND SPUTTERING AND SOMETIMES NOT STARTING. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH TO DETERMINE THAT NISSAN HAD A RECALL FOR THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR FOR MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE FROM 2002-2003 FOR THE CRANK SENSOR. I CALLED THEM AND GAVE THEM MY VIN NUMBER AND THEY SAID MY PARTICULAR CAR WAS NOT COVERED FOR THE RECALL. I HAVE HAD THIS PLUGGED UP TO A COMPUTER AND IT CONFIRMS THAT IT IS THE CRANK SENSOR. ALSO I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED ONE FOR ABOUT $600 IN 2008 FOR MY CAR. IT SEEMS NISSAN KNOWS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND RECALLED SOME OF THE CARS AND OTHER PEOPLE LIKE ME WILL HAVE TO KEEP TAKING THEIR CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP EVERY YEAR OR TWO AND SPENDING LOTS OF MONEY TO KEEP THE CAR FROM GETTING THEM KILLED IN A WRECK OR STRANDED. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO OTHER THAN CHARGE ME FULL PRICE FOR THE REPAIR. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF INTERNET RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2003 NISSAN ALTIMA 3.5L V6 SE - THE DOOR LOCKS KEEP LOCKING REPEATEDLY. WILL DO THIS WHILE I AM IN AND OUT OF THE CAR REGARDLESS OF KEY FOB USE. MY HAZARD LIGHTS FLASH EACH TIME. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR OVER A WEEK AND HAS INCREASED IN FREQUENCY AND DURATION. IT IS NOW CONSTANT - GOING ON EVERY 3-5 SECONDS. I HAD TROUBLE GETTING MY DAUGHTER OUT OF THE CAR BECAUSE THE DOOR KEPT LOCKING ON ME. I WORRY ABOUT THE ABILITY TO GET OUT QUICKLY IF NEEDED. IT BRINGS ATTENTION TO MY CAR THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ON MANY LEVELS. IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED YET. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT MAY BE THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
LIKE MANY OF YOU, I HAVE ALSO HAD THE PROBLEM OF THE SENSORS GOING BAD CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STOP. I HAD THE SENSORS REPLACED TWICE AT MY EXPENSE BECAUSE NISSAN SAID THAT MY 2003 ALTIMA VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE SECOND TIME THE SENSORS WERE REPLACED, THEY LOOKED DIFFERENT. HOPEFULLY THE REDESIGN WILL FINALLY FIX THIS ONGOING PROBLEM. SHAME ON YOU, NISSAN, FOR NOT COVERING THIS KNOWN PROBLEM IN A RECALL. DOES IT TAKE A STALL ON A RAILROAD TRACK TO GET YOUR ATTENTION? *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
IN JUNE 2009 I NOTICED THAT IN MY 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON. I ALSO NOTICED THEN THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF OIL. UPON REFILLING WITH OIL FEW DAYS LATER I NOTICED AGAIN DRY DIPSTICK. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO COLONIAL NISSAN AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. FEW DAYS LATER I WAS TOLD THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS CLOGGED (CODE P0420) AND THAT THERE IS AN ENGINE DAMAGE CAUSED BY FAULTY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I CONTACTED NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA TWO TIMES IN WRITING AND WAS DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS. IT APPEARS AS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND DECLINES TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY IN THIS MATTER. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2/11/2009 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT MADE MY 2003 2.5 NISSAN ALTIMA TO STALL DURING AFTERNOON HEAVY TRAFFIC. IRONICALLY, THE VEHICLE WAS STALLED LESS THAN A MILE FROM AN AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALERSHIP, WHICH I UTILIZED REGULARLY. THE OUTCOME INVOLVED REPLACING THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR ASSEMBLY @ A COST OF $288.48. 6/23/2009-CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AGAIN. OUTCOME WAS TO REPLACE THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR @ A COST OF $159.69. 12/9/2009 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AGAIN. OUTCOME DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED INSTALLING A NEW ENGINE, AND INSTALLING A REMANNED TRANSMISSION. I AM LIVID THAT THE ISSUE WAS ALLOWED TO PROGRESS TO THE LEVEL THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN MY VEHICLE STALLED, I BARELY MISSED BEING REAR-ENDED BY A LARGE TRUCK TRAVELING AT LEAST 55-65 MILES PER HOUR. THIS PLACED MY FAMILY AND I IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR
