ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE
RECALL ON 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5L - ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BETWEEN THE CRANK ANGLE SENSOR AND THE ECM. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON - I TOOK THE CAR TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP (CENTRAL CAROLINA NISSAN - SANFORD NC) AND THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE THE CRANK ANGLE AND MASS AIR FLOW SENSORS FREE OF CHARGE W/ THIS RECALL AND STATED THESE PARTS HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST TO ME OF APPRX. $600 BEFORE THEY COULD PERFORM THE UPGRADE. I REFUSED TO PAY THIS FEE AND TOOK THE CAR HOME AND THE NEXT DAY IT CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO STEER IT OFF THE HIGHWAY W/OUT INCIDENT. I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR HOME AND CALLED: NCA DEPT. NISSAN N.A. INC. AND WAS PROMISED A CALL BACK BY MON. 9/25/6 - REF. # 5477581. NO ONE CALLED AND I'VE SPENT A COUPLE OF HOURS TODAY 9/26/6 TRYING TO GET RESOLUTION AND HAVE NOW BEEN PROMISED A CALL BACK BY THE END OF THE DAY 9/27/6 FROM THE REGIONAL OFFICE. I'M HOLDING MY BREATHE AND I'M STILL NOT ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR. RICKEY COLLINS PHONE: (919)770-9670. *NM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 S. AS I HAVE RESEARCHED AND SEEN POSTED IN OTHER COMPLAINTS, MY CAR WOULDN'T START 2 MONTHS AGO AND BEFORE THEN FOR A FEW MONTHS IT WOULD CUT OFF IN TRAFFIC WHILE I WAS DRIVING, I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP THINKING THAT IT WAS MY CRANK ANGULAR SENSOR (MOST RECENT RECALL). HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE NOTIFIED ME THAT IT IS MY "CRANK POSITION SENSOR" THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. LIKE OTHERS, I NOTICED THAT THIS WAS A RECALL ON THE 2002 MODELS, BUT NOT ON 2003. LIKE ANOTHER COMPLAINT STATED, 2003 AND 2002 MODELS ARE NOT THAT MUCH DIFFERENT (IF AT ALL) AND IF NISSAN WAS HAVING THIS PROBLEM BEFORE, THEN THEY SHOULD MAKE THE RECALL ON THE 2003 MODELS AS WELL. NOW I AM BEING TOLD TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WILL COST $243. NISSAN SHOULD REALLY DO SOME FURTHER INVESTIGATION ON THEIR 2003 MODELS TO FIND OUT IF THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE RECALLED, IN MY OPINION WITH SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM, IT SHOULD BE. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
PURCHASED NEW 2006 ALTIMA IN APRIL 2006. CAR HAS ABOUT 3500 MILES ON IT NOW. CHECKED OIL LEVEL AGAIN THE OTHER DAY AND IT WAS BARELY ON DIP STICK AND WHAT WAS THERE WAS BLACK. CALLED NISSAN, THEY WERE NO HELP. THEY SAID TO BRING CAR IN EVERY 700 MILES. THAT IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE ANSWER TO A NEW CAR OWNER. THE DEALER WAS OF NO HELP EITHER. I DO NOT THINK NEW CAR OWNERS SHOULD BE STUCK WITH LEMONS. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO RETURN CAR. NISSAN HAS THE OPPORTUNITY RIGHT NOW OF SATISFYING MANY UNHAPPY CUSTOMERS OR RUINING THEIR IMAGE FOREVER IN THE MIND OF THOUSANDS. THEY NEED TO HELP US. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
DEAR NHTSA, RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA, MORE SPECIFICITY, THE ENGINE HAS STOPPED RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND A RECALL ON THE NISSAN WEBSITE FOR THE CRANK ANGLE SENSOR ON ALL 2002 ALTIMAS, BUT NOTHING FOR 2003 ALTIMAS. HOWEVER, WHILE RESEARCHING ON THE WEB I FOUND SEVERAL REPORTS, INCLUDING THE NHTSA WEBSITE (CAMPAIGN # 06V-242), INDICATING THAT A FEW 200,000 2003 ALTIMAS/SENTRAS (2.5 LITER) WERE BEING RECALLED FOR THE SAME CRANK ANGLE PROBLEM. I BROUGHT THIS ISSUE UP WITH THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT (CERRITOS) AND WAS THOROUGHLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE SUPPORT AND SERVICE FROM THE TECHNICIANS. FIRST, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. THEN, I WAS INFORMED THAT NOT ALL RECALLS ARE LISTED IN THE WEBSITE AND I WOULD HAVE TO GET MY CAR SERVICED FIRST AND ONLY AFTER COULD THEY DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT MY CAR IS UNDER THE WARRANTY. AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR WHATEVER REPAIRS THAT WAS NEEDED TO BE DONE. I DO NOT HAVE AN ISSUE WITH PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS IF IT IS NOT A RECALL ISSUE; HOWEVER, SHOULDN'T THE NISSAN'S TECHNICIANS KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS UNDER RECALL BY LOOKING INTO THE VIN NUMBER OR THE PARTS NUMBER? ALSO, THE RECALL IS NOT LISTED OR ANNOUNCED ON THE NISSAN WEBSITE BUT IS REPORTED IN SEVERAL ARTICLES. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN NISSAN'S RESPONSIBILITY TO INFORM THE PUBLIC OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE, EVEN IF IT IS ONLY A SMALL NUMBER OF VEHICLES. AND THE DEALERSHIPS RESPONSIBILITY TO CHECK INTO THE PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER INSTANCES WITH THIS PARTICULAR CAR. I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY CORRECTION FOR THIS ISSUE AND AM HOPING YOU WILL BE OF SOME ASSISTANCE TO ME WITH THIS PROBLEM SINCE I HAVE HAD NO LUCK WITH THE DEALERSHIP. CINDY LIN. *NM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY
PURCHASED NEW 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S IN JULY 2003. CAR TAKEN TO DEALER FOR ROUTINE CHECKS AND OIL CHANGES. AT 59K, DEALER ADVISED THAT RADIATOR HAD CORRODED AND NEEDED REPLACING. DEALER ATTRIBUTED PROBLEM TO BEING IN A "SALT" STATE. HOWEVER, NISSAN RECALLED OTHER PARTS BECAUSE I LIVE IN A SALT STATE, BUT NOT THIS ONE. AFTER SEVERAL PHONE CALLS, FILED COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN BECAUSE I FELT THIS WAS A PART THAT SHOULD BE REPLACED DUE TO TECHNICAL BULLETINS PUBLISHED REGARDING RADIATOR CAP REPLACEMENT AND WHY WOULD A RADIATOR NEED REPLACING AFTER ONLY 3 YEARS? NISSAN ADVISED TO TAKE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. SECOND DEALERSHIP PERFORMED PRESSURE TEST, FOUND A LEAK IN THE RADIATOR. CLAMPS ALSO CORRODED. THIS DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT RADIATOR CAPS SHOULD BE REPLACED ON NISSANS EVERY 30K. NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE CLAIMS THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE, THEY WILL NOT REPLACE AT THEIR COST. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE ALSO BAD AT RETURNING CALLS, NOT FORWARDING YOUR CALLS AND HAVE TO REPEAT EVERY THING YOU SAY MULTIPLE TIMES, AND CONDESCENDING TOWARDS CUSTOMER. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN AND WILL TELL EVERYONE I KNOW OF THE PROBLEMS. REPLACED RADIATOR WITH AFTER MARKET PART, COST $600 OUT OF POCKET. SHOP THAT REPLACED PART ADVISED THAT NISSAN RADIATORS ARE ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AND THAT HE GETS NUMEROUS CALLS TO REPLACE THIS PART ON NISSANS. EVERY SHOP THAT I CALL WAS SURPRISED THAT I WANTED TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR SINCE THE CAR WAS SO NEW. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:ANTI-THEFT:CONTROL MODULE
NOW, WHEN I PICKED IT UP FROM THAT DEALER, MY CAR WOULD NOT START. I CRANKED IT 4 TIMES AND IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. NISSAN TECH WHO WORKED ON MY CAR, RAISED HIS HANDS UP AND SAID "I JUST FIXED THE MOLDING". AND WALKED AWAY. MY CAR NEVER HAD THAT ISSUE BEFORE. JUST WHEN I PICKED IT UP THAT FROM THE DEALER. ANOTHER MORE HELPFUL TECH CAME AND IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME HE NEEDED TO REPROGRAM MY KEYS?!?! HE DID IT AND SAID BRING IN ALL THE REST NEXT WEEK AND I'LL REPROGRAM. I WENT HOME AND NONE OF MY KEYS WORKED. I HAD TO TOW IT INTO MY LOCAL DEALER "MY NISSAN" IN SALINAS CA AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD REPROGRAM ALL MY KEYS FOR ONLY $50. 2 HOURS LATER THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIGURE THE PROGRAM AS MY CAR WASN'T RECOGNIZING ANY CODES THEY WERE USING. SO 5 DAYS LATER, ITS' STILL AT THE DEALERS AND THEY HAD TO ORDER A NEW EOM AND INTERNAL ANTENNAE. FIRST THEY WANTED ME TO PAY FOR IT. I HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND HAVE FOLLOWED ALL MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS SO I REFUSED. AFTER 3 DAYS, THEY AGREED TO COVER THE UNIT BUT NOT THE ANTENNAE AND FINALLY APPROVED FOR A RENTAL CAR. I HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM THEM ON MY CAR. THEY OFFER NO EXPLANATION ON HOW OR WHY IT HAPPENED. *NM

STRUCTURE
WHERE DO I BEGIN. FIRST TEST DRIVE, WE STOPPED TO PUT GAS IN VEHICLE. THEN ON START UP IT WOULD NOT START. HAD TO CALL DEALER FOR A JUMP START, TWICE. THEN 2ND WEEK MY DRIVER SIDE EXTERIOR ROOF MOLDING KEPT POPPING OFF. AFTER THE 3RD TIME, IT WAS WARPED. TOOK TO CARDINALE NISSAN IN SEASIDE CA, AND THEY ORDERED THE WRONG PART. THEN AFTER DRIVING AROUND WITH SOME BRIGHT BLUE TAPE ALL THE WAY DOWN MY CAR, THEY THEN SUGGESTED THAT THEY HAD TO FOLLOW A BULLETIN FROM NISSAN WHERE THEY JUST PLACED NEW CLIPS AND LOTS OF GLUE. THEY DIDN'T REPLACE THE MOLDING. A FEW MONTHS LATER IT KEPT POPPING OFF AGAIN. TOOK CAR BACK AND THEN THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME TO FIX THE PROBLEM THEY NEVER DID! AFTER ARGUING THEY AGREED TO REPLACE WITH NEW MOLDING. I WAITED 2 WEEKS FOR PART TO COME IN, TOOK CAR BACK 4TH TIME. WHEN I PICKED IT UP, THEY HAD ONCE AGAIN, JUST PUT NEW CLIPS AND EVEN MORE GLUE. THEY DIDN'T REPLACE MOLDING AGAIN. WAS TOLD TO WAIT 48 HOURS FOR GLUE TO DRY, SO NOW I GOT TO DRIVE AROUND WITH NEON GREEN TAPE ON MY CAR. TWO DAYS LATER, TOOK IT BACK AND IT WAS STILL LIFTING. THEY FINALLY AGREED TO REPLACE THE MOLDING. I HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER 48 HOURS WITH A NEW STRIP OF GREEN TAPE. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT READY TO TURN LEFT ONTO ANOTHER STREET WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR STALLS OUT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. IT TOOK ME A FEW TIMES TO GET MY CAR STARTED AGAIN AND WHEN IT FIRED UP AGAIN I STARTED DRIVING AWAY BUT MY CAR WOULD BE HAVING A HARD TIME GOING AS IF IT WAS STARTING TO BOG OUT. I LATER DID A DIAGNOSTICS TEST AND GOT THE CODE P0335 WHICH ENDED UP BEING THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. A FEW WEEKS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, MY CAR HAD THE SAME SYMPTOMS BUT IT WASN'T AS BAD. IT WOULD JUST BOG DOWN LIKE ONCE IN 2 WEEKS BUT THIS WAS THE WORST CASE SCENARIO!. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I OWN A 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S. I HAVE SEEN THAT THEY HAVE ISSUED RECALLS FOR NEWER MODELS BASED ON THE ENGINE CONSUMING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. I HAVE NOTICED THE SAME THING HAPPENING ON MY CAR FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS. I HAVE MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALER ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS AND HAVE BEEN SORT OF BLOWN OFF AND TOLD I AM NOT CHANGING THE OIL OFTEN ENOUGH. I RECENTLY WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL FOR THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND WHILE THERE HAD A 90000 MILE SERVICE DONE. AFTER THAT SERVICE, THE ENGINE WAS GOING THROUGH OIL ROUGHLY EVERY 500 MILES OR SO. IT USED TO GO THROUGH IT EVERY 4000 MILES OR SO, WHICH SEEMS INCREDIBLY QUICK. I THINK THE PROBLEM IS NOT JUST ON THE NEWER MODELS BUT ON OLDER MODELS AS WELL. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, THIS COULD BE A FIRE HAZARD AND WOULD LIKE THE MATTER LOOKED INTO FURTHER. *JB

2002 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S DIFFICULT TO START, WILL FREQUENTLY STALL ONCE STARTED AS SOON AS ITS PUT INTO GEAR. (NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS DUE TO "BAD FUEL"-CHARGED $500 TO DRAIN TANK AND REFILL..PROBLEM STILL EXISTS..) BACKED OUT OF DRIVEWAY, VEHICLE STALLED, STEERING BECOMES EXTREMELY HARD, UNABLE TO MANEUVER CAR, HIT TREE AND CRACKED SPOILER/DENT BUMPER. NOT SAFE TO TAKE ON HIGHWAY, AS YOU CANNOT "MERGE" INTO TRAFFIC AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.. IF YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE, IT WILL BUCK AND STALL. THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR 8 MONTHS, EVEN AFTER DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY "FIXED THE PROBLEMS" . LIGHT KEEPS COMING BACK ON. VEHICLE STARTED BLOWING WARM AIR THROUGH A/C THIS SUMMER. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID "TOO MUCH FREON" AND CHARGED $300. PROBLEM STILL EXISTED THE NEXT DAY. TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP.. CHARGED ANOTHER $100 TO DO "DIAGNOSTICS".. NO PROBLEMS EVER FIXED. LIGHT STILL ON. NISSAN NOT ADDRESSING IT. BASICALLY IGNORING THE LIGHT, EVEN THOUGH CAR HAS BEEN IN THERE FOR OVER $1000 WORTH OF "REPAIRS" IN 1 MONTH. *JB
