ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THEN LOST POWER SEVERAL TIMES. WOULD NOT START/HARD TO START. I CALLED NISSAN DEALER IN FREMONT CALIFORNIA AND THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO FIX IT MYSELF OR PAY THEM TO DO IT. I FOUND NUMEROUS PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM/FAULTY CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AND CAM SENSOR. I SPENT NUMEROUS HOURS OF DRIVING TO GET PARTS AND SPENT OVER 3 HUNDRED DOLLARS ON PARTS, OBD COMPUTER, SERVICE BOOK AND NOT TO MENTION THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. MY WIFE IS 9 MONTHS PREGNANT AND COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED NOT TO MENTION THE STRESS. PLUS DOWN TIME OF NOT HAVING THE CAR FIXED. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH NISSANS SERVICE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CRANKCASE (PCV), EQUIPMENT
MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO JERK AND RUN VERY ROUGH. NOT LONG AFTER THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT JUST SHUT OFF RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. AAA TOWED THE CAR TO CERRITOS NISSAN. THE NEXT DAY THEY LOOKED IT OVER AND SAID IT WAS A CHAMBER AND A MASS AIR FILTER AND INJECTOR A. THEY GAVE US THE TOTAL OF $1384. WE HAD NO CHOICE I NEEDED MY CAR, SO WE TOLD THEM TO FIX IT. WHEN WE WENT TO PICK THE CAR UP,WE PAID OUR BILL, I DROVE OFF AND IT STARTED DOING THE SAME EXACT THING. WE TOOK THE CAR BACK AND THE HEAD OF SERVICE WAS THERE. MY HUSBAND TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO HIM BUT HE WAS NOT UNDERSTANDING. MY HUSBAND ASK IF HE WOULD GO ON A TEST DRIVE WITH HIM. MY HUSBAND ASKED HIM TO DRIVE. WHEN THEY CAME BACK, MY HUSBAND SAID NOT ONLY WAS IT DOING THE SAME THING BUT IT CUT OFF ON THEM AS WELL. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE WOULD WRITE A NOTE ABOUT WHAT IT WAS STILL DOING. WE HAD JUST BEGRUDGINGLY FORKED OUT NEARLY $1400 AND THE CAR WAS DOING THE SAME EXACT THING. WE WERE UPSET AND WANTED TO KNOW WHAT DID THEY FIX? HE ASSURED US THAT THEY WOULD FIX IT. HE ASKED US WHAT WE WANTED HIM TO DO. MY HUSBAND SAID THAT WE JUST NEEDED A RENTAL. HE AGREED AND SET US UP WITH ONE. FINALLY WE WERE ABLE TO PICK THE CAR UP AND WHILE IT STILL RAN A BIT ROUGH IT DIDN'T JERK AND IT DIDN'T CUT OFF. WE ASK WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT AND THEY SAID IT WAS SOMETHING WITH THE ENGINE 9500 INT AND ENTERPRISE INV D907447 PO 151165. SO WE ASKED WHY WE WERE CHARGED FOR ALL THAT OTHER STUFF. HE SAID CAUSE IT STILL NEEDED IT. AND AT THIS TIME WE ALSO HAD ASKED ABOUT RECALLS. THEY SAID THERE WERE NONE. IRONICALLY IN GOING THROUGH OUR OLD A FEW MONTHS LATER MAIL WE FOUND A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE THAT TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT MY CAR DID. WE NOTIFIED OUR LAWYER AND ASK IF WE SHOULD PROCEED AND HE TOLD US TO FIRST REPORT IT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. ALTHOUGH I REALLY LIKE MY ALTIMA I HAVE HAD TO MANY PROBLEMS. A YEAR AFTER I GOT IT I HAD TO GET THE ENTIRE ENGINE REPLACED. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE AN 03 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH 77,000 MILES THAT I KEPT WELL MAINTAINED. SIX MONTHS AGO MY ENGINE CUT OFF WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT, AND THEN IT CUT OFF AGAIN A MONTH LATER WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH. THIS SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED AFTER I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE ECM REPROGRAM RECALL. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS PROBABLY THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR, AND SO I PAID THE MONEY TO REPLACE IT, THOUGH NOW I WONDER IF THIS WAS A MIS-DIAGNOSIS. A MONTH AGO, MY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON, AND SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD DIFFICULTY STARTING THE CAR AND THE ENGINE MAKES A WEIRD PUTTERING SOUND LIKE IT?S ABOUT TO CUT OUT WHILE IN IDLE. I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE SAME RECALL ISSUE AND SAID THAT ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME, THE ECM PROGRAM IS SOMEHOW LOST AND HAS TO BE REPROGRAMMED A SECOND TIME. I TOLD HIM THAT DIDN'T MAKE MUCH SENSE, IT SHOULD BE FIXED THE FIRST TIME, AND HE SAID THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHY IT KEEPS HAPPENING. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THAT'S WHEN HE TOLD ME, NEVER MIND, THIS IS ACTUALLY AN ISSUE WITH THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR, WHICH WILL COST $330 TO REPLACE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND A RECALL BACK IN 2003 ON SEVERAL 02 AND 03 ALTIMAS FOR REPLACING THIS EXACT PART, AND WHEN I MENTIONED THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SIMPLY SAID MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL SO THE ISSUE WITH MY CAR WAS UNRELATED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF. SEEMED LIKE TOO BIG OF A COINCIDENCE TO ME, SO I CALLED CORPORATE NISSAN TO FILE A COMPLAINT. AFTER SEVERAL PERSISTENT PHONE CALLS, I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD MAKE A NOTE OF MY COMPLAINT FOR REVIEW, BUT THEY COULD NOT COVER THE EXPENSE FOR ME. I AM NOW TAKING MY CAR TO MY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO QUOTED ME HALF THE PRICE TO HAVE THE PART REPLACED ON MY OWN DIME. I CAN SEE I?M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ENGINE STARTUP/STALLING PROBLEM AND IT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. PLEASE MAKE NISSAN OWN UP TO THE PROBLEM AND FIX THE UNDERLYING ISSUES, NOT JUST THE ECM. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
2004 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 HAD SEVERE MISSING ISSUE AND DEALER ADVISED THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE SCREWS OF THE POWER RING ON THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE SCREW HAD CAME LOOSE AND DAMAGED THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. NISSAN HAS VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN QR25DE POWER VALVE ( P5202) FOR THIS ISSUE. MY CAR HAS THE EXACT ISSUE AND THE YEAR AND ENGINE SIZE IS THE SAME. THE VIN NUMBER OF MY CAR IS WITHIN THE POSTED VIN'S OF THIS CAMPAIGN - HOWEVER THEY NOW SAY THE "CAMPAIGN" IS VIN SPECIFIC, AND YOU GUESSED IT - MY VIN ISN'T ON THEIR LIST. $700.00 LATER THE DEALER WON'T PAY, NISSAN AMERICA REFUSES TO HONOR THE FIX LISTED IN THEIR OWN CAMPAIGN THIS IS A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW ISSUE, SAME CAR, SAME ENGINE SIZE, WITHIN THE VIN NUMBERS LISTED. NO RELIEF. THEY ALSO REPLACED ALL THE SCREWS WITH "UPGRADED SCREWS" AND LOCK EACH SCREW. THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH THIS ISSUE AND OTHERS WITH NO ASSISTANCE. PLEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL !*JB

CAR ENGINE BEGAN TO MISFIRE, THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" DASHBOARD LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS SOMETIMES FLASHING. PROCEEDED TO DRIVE CAR AT LESS THAN 80 KPH (PER OWNER'S MANUAL RECOMMENDATION) TO DEALER FOR SERVICE, DEALER ADVISED THAT "POWER VALVE" (PART OF INTAKE MANIFOLD) CAME APART ON 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA, RESULTING IN METAL PARTS ENTERING THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
WITHIN A WEEK OF PURCHASING THE CAR I NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT INDICATING THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WAS OFF WOULD ILLUMINATED WHEN THE 180 LB HUSBAND WOULD SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT PROPERLY RESTRAINED. NOT ONLY WOULD IT COME ON AND STAY ON, BUT IT WOULD GO OFF AFTER A LITTLE WHILE THEN COME BACK ON. A WHILE LATER, IT WOULD COME BACK ON, THEN GO OFF AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR RESET THE COMPUTER, BUT THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. AT THIS TIME, I HAD A 55 LB CHILD SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND BUCKLE UP THE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. AS I UNDERSTOOD , IT WAS DESIGNED TO COME ON IN THIS SITUATION. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SINCE PUT A SEAT FROM A NEW VEHICLE . NISSAN WAS IN NO HURRY TO SHIP THE DEALER A NEW SEAT INTO THE CAR, BUT THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. NOW, WHEN I HAVE ARTICLES THAT WERE SOMEWHAT HEAVY , 20-30 LB, ) IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WITHOUT THE SEAT BELT BUCKLED THE LIGHT WILL COME ON, GO OFF, AND COME BACK ON AGAIN MULTIPLE TIMES AT ODD INTERVALS. I DIDN'T BELIEVE THE SENSOR IS WORKING PROPERLY WHEN ANYONE WAS IN THE CAR.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA LOST POWER ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE I WAS TRAVELING AT 55-60MPH ON 7/11/2007. MY BREAKS DID NOT WORK AFTER THE FAILURE BUT I WAS ABLE TO STEER. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THE CAM AND CRANK SENSOR FAILED AND SAID I NEEDED A NEW "CAM AND CRANK SENSOR KIT." THIS IS THE EXACT PART THAT WAS DEFECTIVE IN 2002 NISSAN ALTIMAS (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 03V455000) AND RESULTED IN A RECALL. WHEN I POINTED THIS OUT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY INVESTIGATED IT AND SAID THAT WHILE SOME 2003S WERE ALSO INVOLVED IN THE RECALL, MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED. MY '03 ALTIMA'S PRODUCTION DATE IS 11/07/2002 AND THE DELIVERY AND IN-SERVICE DATE IS 12/12/02. I THINK THE PART SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED IN 2003 NISSAN ALTIMAS TO SEE IF THE RECALL OF THE CAM OR CRANK SENSORS IN THE 2002 NISSAN ALTIMAS (REFERENCED ABOVE) SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE MORE 2003 MODELS.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL FROM NISSAN INFORMING ME OF A RECALL (NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: RQ06001). I TOOK MY NISSAN IN TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO BE SERVICED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE RECALL NOTICE ON 08/28/2006. ON 10/05/2006, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER. THE COMPUTER CODE FOR THE ERROR WAS P0507 AND IT WAS $91 TO REPAIR. I'VE HEARD FROM SEVERAL OTHER ALTIMA OWNERS WHO TOOK THEIR VEHICLES IN TO BE SERVICED FOR THE RECALL AND THEN HAD TO GO BACK WITHIN A MONTH BECAUSE OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND SUBSEQUENT P0507 FINDING. I THINK THEY ARE NOT ADEQUATELY SERVICING THIS RECALL BECAUSE ONE OF THE SYMPTOMS OF THE DEFECTIVE PART IS FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON.
