2006 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

WHILE DRIVING ON THE I95 THE CAR SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT RESTART AT 55MPH. THANK GOD, I DID NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND WAS ABLE TO COAST OVER TO THE GUARDRAIL. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC THAT INFORMED ME IT APPEARED TO BE THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AND SAID SINCE IT WAS A RECALL ITEM I SHOULD HAVE IT BROUGHT TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MILLER NISSAN IN FAIRFIELD CT AND INFORMED THEM OF MY MECHANICS FINDINGS. THEY CHECKED THE CAR AND TOLD ME IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND REPLACED IT EVEN WITH ME EXPRESSING THAT MY CURRENT MECHANIC ALREADY CHECKED THAT. AFTER REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP THEY CALLED ME BACK AND SAID IT STILL WASN'T WORKING. IT ENDED UP BEING THE ECM ALONG WITH ANOTHER SENSOR!! I EXPRESSED HOW UPSET I WAS THAT THIS SENSOR FAILED WHY I WAS DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY! I AM CURRENTLY WORKING WITH NISSAN CORPORATE RECALL DEPARTMENT BECAUSE EVERYTHING I'M READING IS STILL INDICATING THAT THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR COULD CAUSE MALFUNCTIONS IN OTHER SENSORS IN THE CAR!! I'M NOT HAPPY THAT NISSAN IS CHARGING ME FOR THE NEW FUEL PUMP THEY INSTALLED ALONG WITH THE SENSORS TOTALING $1,943,00!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 40 MPH, THE RPMS DECREASED ABNORMALLY. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED ON A SEPARATE OCCASION WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 113,000.

MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY VEHICLE'S ENGINE LURCHED FORWARD, AS IF IT WAS NOT GETTING GAS. I MADE IT HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. I THOUGHT I HAD PURCHASED BAD GAS. THE NEXT MORNING MY CAR WOULD NOT START, IT TOOK SEVERAL TIMES FOR IT TO FINAL START. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I RAN A SCAN AND THE SCAN SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WHICH I DID AND IT DID NO GOOD. THE ENGINE IS VERY HARD TO START AND IS CONSUMING A LOT OF GAS. THIS PAST WEEKEND THE ENGINE STARTED TO BUCK WHEN IDLING IN TRAFFIC. I WAS AFRAID THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO DIE AND CATCH FIRE. I FOUND A PREVIOUS RECALL THAT SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE MINE WITH THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. I CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID MY ENGINE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THIS ANGERED ME THAT THEY DO NOT TAKE THESE THINGS SERIOUSLY ENOUGH TO INCLUDE ALL 2.5L ENGINES FOR THAT YEAR. THE RECALL ID # 67703 - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING IS THE ONE I'M REFERRING TOO. *TR

THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 142,000.

MY VEHICLE IS HAVING TROUBLE WHEN STARTING AND I HAD A SCAN CODE DONE BY AUTO ZONE WHICH SAID IT WAS THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I SAW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA FOR THIS PROBLEM SO I WENT TO THE DEALER TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE RECALL AND THEY STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL. *TR

TRAVELING AT 15 MILES PER HOUR AND STARTED TO STOP AT STOP SIGN, VEHICLE WENT DEAD AND I COULD NO STOP IN TIME AND WENT THROUGH THE STOP SIGN. HARD TO STEER ALSO.

I PURCHASED 4 NEW NEXEN 641 215 60/16 TIRES ON 7/5/15 IN NASHVILLE, TN AT THE ACTION NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I DROVE TO ARIZONA FROM THERE, AND THE RIGHT PASSENGER TIRE BLEW OUT 4 DAYS LATER IN THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO. THERE WERE NO VISIBLE PUNCTURES. I BELIEVE IT WAS DEFECTIVE. I HAVE READ ONLINE ACCOUNTS OF SIMILAR OCCURRENCES. IT HAS ME VERY CONCERNED. PLEASE NOTE: THE NEXEN BRAND IS NOT AVAILABLE AS A CHOICE IN YOUR TIRE DROP DOWN OPTIONS. PER YOUR REPRESENTATIVE WITH WHOM I SPOKE TODAY, I CHOSE GOODYEAR AS THE OPTION INSTEAD. I WAS ALSO GIVEN THE REFERENCE # OF [XXX].

DRIVING ON I-4 TRANSMISSION HEARD A "POP" SOUND, CAR HAD A HARD TIME GOING FROM A STOPPED POSITION TO MOVING. ADDED TRANSMISSION FLUID, WORKED FINE UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED. CAR ONCE ACCELERATED SEEMED TO ACCELERATE FASTER WITHOUT ME PUSHING ON THE ACCELERATOR. PURCHASED CAR 2 YRS AGO AND NOTICED A RANDOM HARD SHIFT EITHER WHEN ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING, NO MAJOR PROBLEMS TO TAKE IT ANYWHERE. HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED AND FLUSHED SEEMED TO HELP PROBLEM UNTIL NOW. I HAVE 3 KIDS AND WITH THE PROBLEMS OF THIS NATURE COULD HAVE A SERIOUS IMPACT ON US FINANCIALLY NOT TO MENTION IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING. OUR SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS COULD BE AT JEOPARDY. *TR
