ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
SUMMARY: I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5L. THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WAS HARD STARTING. I READ THE CODE (PO335) AND IT SHOWS IT IS A PROBLEM WITH MY CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I CHECK IT ONLINE, AND FOUND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 2007 (THE CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS 07V527000) OF COURSE THE DEALERSHIP SAID MY VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED HOW CONVENIENT. MY NEXT CAR WILL BE A TOYOTA *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, AT 70 MPH, MY CAR BUCKED AND THEN SHUT DOWN. LOSING ALL CONTROL, IT COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. WHILE OFF YOU LOSE POWER-STEERING, ABS ETC. LUCKILY I WAS ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF HIGHWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. CAME TO A COASTING STOP. WHEN TO START MY CAR AGAIN, AND IT TOOK A WHILE FOR IT TO TURN OVER. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WOULD ROUTINELY BUCK, AND HICCUP AS IF IT WERE TRYING TO SHUT ITSELF OFF. I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER, HAVE THE ECM REPROGRAMMED, AS THEY THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE THE ISSUE. GOT IT DONE, AND A DAY LATER, SAME THING HAPPENED, MY CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I GOT IT RUNNING, AND THEN AS I GOT NEARER HOME, THE CAR SHUT DOWN AGAIN AT AN INTERSECTION. I WAS LUCKY I DIDN'T GET IN A WRECK. FURIOUSLY, I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER, AND BROUGHT IT BACK IN. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, IT WAS NOTED THE CAM/CRANKSHAFT SENSORS WERE BAD. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY NISSAN, AS THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR 2000 - 2003 MODELS OF THEIR CARS IN THE PAST. I GOT THEM REPLACED AND PAID OUT OF POCKET TO DO SO. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY WERE DISRESPECTFUL AND NOT HELPFUL AT ALL. THEY KNOW THAT THE ISSUE IS STILL ONGOING WITH THEIR VEHICLES. ITS A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION AND SHOULD NOT BE UP TO THE CONSUMER TO FIX THE ISSUE AS ITS A FLAW IN THEIR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS RIGHT AWAY AS THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA SL AND TOOK MY CAR INTO CONICELLI NISSAN BACK IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR FOR AN ORDER CHANGE AND SOMETHING ELSE MINOR. CONICELLI NISSAN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE FLOOR PAN WAS RUSTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT. I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT THE BODY SHOP OF CONICELLI WHICH I DID AND THEY IN TURN TOLD ME THAT THEY CAN NOT DO THE REPAIR BECAUSE OF THE RUST AND THEY DIDN'T WANT TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABILITY FOR IT AND PERHAPS RISK A LAW SUIT FURTHER DOWN THE LINE. MY COMPLAINT IS THE CAR IS ONLY 8 YEARS OLD WITH 60,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO DIFFERENT BODY SHOPS AND THEY ARE AMAZED THAT THE FLOOR PAN HAS RUSTED ALREADY BEING THAT THE CAR IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD AND IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THIS SEAMS LIKE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN CARS AND IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE AND THE CUSTOMERS WANT ANSWERS NOW. IT WILL COST ME AT LEAST $1,000 TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF AND I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. I NEED SOMEONE TO CONTACT ME TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS ONGOING ISSUE. *JS

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MAKE: NISSAN MODEL: ALTIMA MODEL YEAR(S): 2005 NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 07V527000 COMPONENT: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING MY CAR STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS AND IT WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE OF THE ENGINE LIGHT ALERT. THE REASON WAS DUE TO THE CRANKSHAFTS WHICH I REPLACED BUT KEPT HAVING THE PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC SUGGEST TO LOOK UP ANY OUTSTANDING RECALLS AND I FOUND THE ABOVE CAMPAIGN WHICH DESCRIBES MY PROBLEM EXACTLY. ALL I NEED TO DO IS TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO REPROGRAM THE ECM. THE DEALERS STATES THAT MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND WANT TO CHARGE TO GET IT REPROGRAM. WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR A MANUFACTURE DEFECT WHEN THERE IS AN OUTSTANDING RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. THE CARS HAS NO OTHER PROBLEMS AND THE ONLY REASON WHY IT WON'T PASS INSPECTION IS BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED ABOVE. I DON'T SEE WHY THIS SHOULD BE AND I NEED A RECALL NOTICE TO TAKE TO THE DEALER TO GET THE CAR ECM PROGRAMMED. OR DO I HAVE TO BE INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT BEFORE THE PROBLEM CAN BE CORRECTED.

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA 3.5SE. IT'S A ONE-OWNER, AND WAS BRAND NEW WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THIS CAR HAS BEEN RELATIVELY DEPENDABLE--MY ISSUE IS THIS: I NOTICED A METAL "WHIRRING" SOUND AROUND 50000MI WHENEVER I WOULD PULL OUT FROM AN IDLE POSITION. I INQUIRED ABOUT THE NOISE THROUGH A MECHANIC EMPLOYED WITH THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM--OF COURSE, THE MECHANIC SAID--"THOSE THINGS TEND TO BE A LITTLE NOISY BY NATURE, ON OCCASION!" SO, I CONTINUED TO DRIVE MY "OCCASIONALLY NOISY" ALTIMA FOR ANOTHER 58000 MILES. JUST PAID THE THING OFF 2 MONTHS BEFORE MY MAJOR ISSUE OCCURRED. I APPARENTLY WAS A FORTUNATE NISSAN OWNER (EVEN THOUGH I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT)--BECAUSE APPARENTLY ALTIMAS AND MAXIMAS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR TIMING CHAIN FAILURE. SEEMS THE CHAIN GETS A LITTLE "USED" AND BEGINS MAKING THE NOISE I EXPERIENCED, AND THEN CAN ULTIMATELY COMPLETELY FAIL. NEEDLESS TO SAY...I HAVE A $2,000.00+ REPAIR ON MY HANDS.THE MECHANIC I AM HIRING SAID THAT MOST NISSANS WITH TIMING CHAIN ISSUES FAIL LONG BEFORE MINE DID (MILEAGE-WISE!).MY PROBLEM IS WITH NISSAN, BECAUSE NISSAN IS AWARE OF THESE TIMING CHAIN FAILURES, AND DOES NOTHING ABOUT THEM. MY CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON A RECALL THOUSANDS OF MILES AGO, BUT WASN'T...BECAUSE NISSAN HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO OVERLOOK SOME VERY IMPORTANT MECHANICAL ISSUES. I NEED A TIMING CHAIN, OR MY CAR IS OF NO USE WHATSOEVER TO ME.THE REPLACEMENT PART FOR MY TIMING CHAIN IS NOT THE ORIGINAL PART THAT WAS PUT ON MY CAR FROM THE FACTORY! IMAGINE THAT! NISSAN KNOWS THAT THEY PUT "BUM" PARTS ON OUR ALTIMAS AND MAXIMAS WHEN THEY WERE BUILT IN THEIR FACTORIES! --- I SAY NISSAN SHOULD BE FORCED TO REPLACE EVERY SINGLE TIMING CHAIN THAT THEY PUT ON OUR AMERICAN-BOUGHT NISSAN CARS--AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMERS. THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY CAR WOULD NOT START NORMALLY. IMMEDIATELY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. HAD A CODE WITH A FAILED CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. NISSAN WAS INFORMED AND RUDELY REFUSED TO HELP WITH THE REPLACEMENT EVEN THOUGH IT HAD A RECALL ON IT. SAID MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED. SEEMS LIKE NOBODY'S VIN # WAS INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I REPLACED THE SENSOR BUT IT COST ME $170.00 FOR SOMETHING THAT NISSAN SHOULD HAVE HAPPILY HANDLED. NEVER BUY A NISSAN. MY FLOORBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS ALSO COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. THERE IS A HOLE IN MY FLOORBOARD. SAME STORY PAGE AFTER PAGE OF COMPLAINTS CAN BEEN SEEN ONLINE WITH THIS PROBLEM. CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED AT UFTRING NISSAN IN PEORIA, ILLINOIS AND NOT ONCE DID ANYONE BRING MY ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT THIS CAR HAD RUSTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH FROM THE INSIDE OUT. NISSAN REFUSES TO HANDLE THIS ISSUE EITHER. *TR

AIR BAGS
THE AIR BAG LIGHT IN MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA COMES ON WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED AND BLINKS WHILE DRIVING. I HAD THE CAR REPAIRED BACK IN 2009. THE PROBLEM IS NOW HAPPENING AGAIN, SO I HAD AN ESTIMATE AT THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP. IN ORDER TO BE REPAIRED THEY SAID, I WOULD HAVE TO SHOW THERE HAD BEEN A PREVIOUS WORK ORDER IN ARRANGE FOR THE REPAIR TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY? I CALLED THE OTHER NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE THE REPAIR HAPPENED AND APPARENTLY, THERE IS NO PAPER TRAIL THE WORK ORDER ACTUALLY OCCURRED? THE COPY OF MY PAPERWORK SHOWS THERE WAS A REPORT AND A CUSTOM PART ORDERED, BUT NO ACTUAL RECEIPT SHOWING THIS HAPPENED. I CALLED THE PARTS DEPARTMENT THAT SHOWS A CUSTOM PART WAS ORDERED, HOWEVER, IT WAS NEVER RETURNED AND IT IS NO LONGER IN THE PARTS DEPARTMENT.. SO, NO ONE KNOWS SEEMS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS MYSTERIOUS MISSING PART OR WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PART? I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PART, IT WAS INSTALLED IN MY CAR.. SO, NOW I AM TOLD A SENSOR UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED, WHICH IS UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT WILL COST ME $1500 TO REPAIR. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING. WHAT IS MORE INTERESTING IS TO FIND THERE ARE OTHER CAR OWNERS SUFFERING FROM THE SAME SITUATION. THEREFORE THIS IS NOT JUST MY CAR... BUT A MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY!!!!!! CAR OWNER IN CA, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY FRUSTRATED. *JS

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA THAT I JUST TOOK IN FOR A FRONT END CHECK AND WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE FLOORBOARD ON THE DRIVER SIDE IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT, I CAN ACTUAL TOUCH THE CARPETING THROUGH THIS LARGE HOLE. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS, THE CAR IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD. I HAVE SEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT, WHY ISN'T NISSAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? HOW MANY COMPLAINTS NEED TO BE MADE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS? OBVIOUSLY THIS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ONE MORNING I STATED THE CAR AND STATED HEARING STRANGE NOISE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. APPARENTLY IT'S THE TIMING CHAIN NOISE. CAR ONLY HAD 84000, HAD A 02 MAXIMA SAME ENGINE OVER 100K NEVER HAD A PROBLEM READING REVIEW LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH 05 NISSAN WITH 3.5 TIMING CHAIN SHOULD BE GOOD AT LEAST FOR 100K, THAT'S WHY IT'S NOT A BELT SUPPOSE TO BE MORE RELIABLE. NHTSA SHOULD LOOK AT HAVING NISSAN OFFER A RECALL ON THE 3.5 MADE IN 05. *TR
