ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
WE HAVE A 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA THAT HAS ABOUT 132XXX MILES ON IT AND IT IS BURNING OIL AT ABOUT 5 QUARTS IN A WEEK. WE HAVE CHANGED THE OIL REGULARLY PRIOR TO THIS PROBLEM STARTING, WHICH WAS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WERE TOLD WE HAD A CATALYTIC SYSTEM FAILURE AND IT WAS GOING TO COST $900 TO FIX, THEN WE WERE TOLD THAT THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED COSTING UPWARDS OF $4000. I HAVE LOOKED INTO THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND A TON OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM JUST OUTSIDE OF THE "WARRANTY". *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2006 NISSAN ALTIMA, BOUGHT NEW, CONSUMES OIL WITH NO VISIBLE LEAKS. OIL MUST BE ADDED EVERY WEEK TO KEEP ADEQUATE LEVELS IN ENGINE. DEALERSHIP SAYS THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS TO PUT IN A NEW ENGINE WHEN THIS ONE FINALLY FAILS. THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

CHILD SEAT
A ONE CAR WRECK OCCURRED WITH A 4 YR OLD IN A PROPER CHILD RESTRAINT IN BARTLETT, TN. THE CAR FLIPPED AND LANDED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. MY COMPLAINT IS THE FACT THAT THERE WAS A GRACO BOOSTER SEAT FOR A LAGER CHILD OF 6 IN THE CAR THAT WAS NOT IN USE. BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO STRAP THIS DOWN SECURELY TO THE CAR THE BOOSTER SEAT THEN BECAME A PROJECTILE OBJECT AND HIT THE 4 YR OLD. THERE WAS BLOOD ON THE BACK OF THE BOOSTER SEAT AND THE PAD AND IN THE CUP HOLDERS. A BETTER DESIGN IS NEEDED TO KEEP THESE NECESSARY OBJECTS THAT ARE NOT IN USE FROM BEING AN ADDITIONAL CAUSE OF TRAUMA DURING AN ACCIDENT. I THINK IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CAR SEAT COMPANIES AND THE FAMILIES WHO USE THESE PRODUCTS ON A DAILY BASIS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH THE UP-MOST IMPORTANCE. THE SAFETY OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE CHILDREN AND ADULTS IS AT RISK. MODEL 8491BEM NAME TURBOBOOSTER SERIAL JJ0426060839221 MANUFACTURED IN 042606 GRACO CHILDREN'S PRODUCTS, INC. *TR ...UPDATED 09/29/11 *BF DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND RAN OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD, STRIKING A LANDSCAPING ROCK WALL, FOLLOWED BY A LANDSCAPING BOULDER CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO OVERTURN AND LAND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. CONSUMER SENT IN POLICE REPORT, ON BEHALF OF DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE. UPDATED IVOQ 12/22/11

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. MY CAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I WAS JUST WONDERING WHY MY CAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST? IS NISSAN WAITING FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN FIRST? I WENT OUT TODAY TO START MY CAR AND NOW IT WON'T START AT ALL. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WAS READING THE TROUBLESHOOTING # P0335 WHICH IS THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. I SPOKE TO A NISSAN REP. YESTERDAY AND SHE REFUSED TO HELP ME OUT IF DID NOT GO TO A NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE MY CAR CHECKED BY THEM. SORRY, I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. THERE ARE PLACES THAT DO IT FOR NOTHING NOW. I THINK YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. I DO FEAR DRIVING MY CAR NOW. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM FOR ALL OF THE NISSAN OWNERS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CAR WOULD ACT LIKE IT WAS SKIPPING A GEAR AND JERK. IT WOULD ALSO SOMETIMES NOT START. THE ULTIMATE FAILURE IS THAT MY CAR STALLS WHILE I'M DRIVING IT. IT USED TO BE EVERY SO OFTEN AND HAS NOW BECOME A DAILY THING. I AM REPLACING THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR MYSELF AS THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. NISSAN KNOWS THIS BUT HAS DONE NOTHING TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO IT WASN'T WORTH MY WHILE TO EVEN CHECK WITH NISSAN TO HAVE THIS FIXED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A LIGHT I NOTICED THE LIGHTS DIM IN THE REFLECTION OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I ALSO SAW A RED LIGHT ON THE DASH WHICH I HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE NEAR THE TOP ABOVE THE GEAR INDICATOR. THEN WHEN I APPROACHED THE RAMP TO THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED THE LIGHTS DIM AGAIN AS MY RPM'S DROPPED BELOW 1000. ALL WAS FINE ON THE HIGHWAY AND I GOT OFF AT AN EXIT NEAR MY HOUSE WHEN SLOWING TO MAKE A LEFT ON MY ROAD THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. COMPLETELY DEAD ALL THE LIGHTS WENT OFF NO RADIO NO HEAT NOTHING! I SHIFTED IT OUT OF GEAR INTO NEUTRAL AND IT WOULDN'T EVEN TURN OVER TRIED TO TURN MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND THEY DID NOT WORK EITHER. I COULD NOT SHIFT IT OUT OF N/D WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THIS WAS AN AWFUL EXPERIENCE AS I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED AND PISSED OFF A NUMBER OF PEOPLE AS I WAS IN A DARK INTERSECTION FOR ALMOST 5 MINUTES IN A BLACK CAR. I TRIED TURNING THE KEY BACK AND FORTH AND NOTHING HAPPENED ? IT WAS ONLY ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER THAT I COULD HEAR SOME ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY (THE KEY WAS IN THE ACCESSORY POSITION) AND THEN SOME LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND ABOUT THIRTY SECONDS LATER I COULD START THE CAR AND GO ON MY WAY. ALL ELECTRICAL SETTINGS WERE RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULTS ALL RADIO PRESETS ETC THE RADIO AND HEAT WERE POWERED OFF. *TR

THERE WERE NO FURTHER REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I HAVE A 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA 3.5L V6. VIN# IS [XXX]. AT 90,000 MILES MY CAR DIES WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON SO I GOT IT TOWED TO AUTO ZONE FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. A FAILURE CRANKSHAFT SENOR WAS A RESULT. IT HAS A RECALL FOR CAMSHAFT/CRANKSHAFT SENSORS. IT STATES THAT DUE TO THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS, THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF WHILE IN OPERATION RESULTING TO A ACCIDENT/CRASH. SO I BROUGHT INTO NISAAN TO HAVE THIS THESE FIXED ALONG WITH OTHER RECALLS. THEY SAID THAT ONLY THE CAMSHAFT WAS FIXED AND NOT THE CRANKSHAFT. IT WASN'T A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE ACCORDING THE VIN#. I THOUGHT IT RIDICULOUS AND A COINCIDENCE THAT THE SENSOR THAT CAUSED MY CAR TO SHUT OFF WASN'T A RECALL FOR MY CAR. SO I ENDED UP BUYIN THE SENSOR FOR AROUND 80 DOLLARS. BUT AFTER A FEW WEEKS AFTER FIXING, IT MY CARS STALLS OUT AGAIN WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH BOTH OF MY LITTLE CHILDREN IN THE CAR ALMOST ENDING UP WHAT WOULD OF BEEN A REAL BAD CRASH. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN THE INSIDE LANE WITH LIGHT TRAFFIC AND ABLE TO QUICKLY PULL INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. MY CAR WOULD STILL BE RUNNING BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN IN DRIVE. AFTER WAITING FOR A 15 MINS IT WOULD START TO ACCELERATE AGAIN AND WHEN I START TO SLOW DOWN IT WOULD STALL AGAIN. THIS WOULD GO ON AND ON UNTIL I FINALLY GOT TO A REPAIR SHOP FOR HELP. MY CAR WAS PUT THROUGH A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND IT CAME UP TWICE FOR CRANKSHAFT SENSOR FAILURE. I DO NOT WANT TO SPEND ANOTHER 80 DOLLARS ON A SENSOR THAT WILL FAIL AGAIN. THERE IS ALOT OF COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE FOR THESE NISSAN ALTIMAS. I AM PAYING TO MUCH FOR THIS CAR AND CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT NOW BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO PUT THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY AT RISK IN THIS CAR WITH THIS ONGOING PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT BECOMES TRAGIC. THANKS.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON OCCASIONALLY EVEN WITH AN ADULT SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. DEALER HAD REPLACED THE SENSOR BUT THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. THIS OCCURS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS PROBABLY 2 TO 3 TIME A MONTH WHEN SEAT IS OCCUPIED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED FOR THE SAFETY OF PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE. I DO NOT FEEL AT EASE WHEN SOMEONE SAYS THAT THE SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY EVEN THOUGH THE LIGHT COMES ON. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE HAD MY ENGINE REPLACED AS A RECALL BUT WINDSOR NISSAN HAS NO RECORD WHEN I ASKED FOR THE REPORT. I WENT IN TO THE DEALER ON 12/16/10 AT 5:30 PM BECAUSE I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS AS THE GEAR SHIFT WAS GETTING STUCK IN PARK AND COULDN'T MOVE AT ALL. I READ THE BOOK WHICH SAYS TO PUSH THE SHIFT LOCK RELEASE BUTTON WHICH WILL LET ME MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT TEMPORARILY. I THEN CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO IN TURN TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR IN TO CHECK IT OUT. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $110 JUST TO SEE IT UNTIL I DISPUTED THAT. AFTERWARDS, HE TOLD ME THAT THE SHIFT LOCK CONTROL UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, HE COULDN'T EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THE CAR JUST UP AND STARTED TO ACT UP OR WHAT LEADS TO THAT. I HAVE AN OLDER MODEL NISSAN ALTIMA AND IT RUNS BETTER THAN THE 2006. I HAVE HAD MORE PROBLEMS WITH THE NEW CAR THAN I HAD WITH THE OLD ONE. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE BACK BRAKE LIGHTS 6 TIMES WITHIN THE YEAR BECAUSE IT CONTINUES TO BLOW OUT AS WELL AS THE OVER HEAD LIGHT ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. THE ONLY THING THAT CONFUSES ME IS THE GEAR SHIFT, NOW I'M SUBJECT TO PAY $300 FOR THIS PART BEING REPLACED BECAUSE IT ISN'T COVERED IN THE WARRANTY AND NO ONE COULD TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT CAUSES THIS PROBLEM. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND WHAT CAN BE DONE TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE. I HAVE CONTACTED OTHER MECHANICS WHO SEEM TO FEEL THAT THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THE CAR IS ONLY 4 1/2 YEARS OLD. *TR
