2006 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FLOOR BOARDS WERE RUSTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

SINCE 1ST OCCURRENCE DATE LISTED HEREIN THROUGH PRESENT 11/15/2011, VEHICLE CONTINUES TO RANDOMLY FAIL TO START & STALLS AT FREEWAY & SURFACE STREET SPEEDS AND WHEN IDLING AT A STOP; I HAVE USED AN AUTEL MAXISCAN MS300 CAN OBD-II SCAN TOOL EVERYTIME THE VEHICLE HAS PRESENTED THESE SYMPTOMS. EACH TIME THE SCAN HAS CONFIRMED A "CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR" FAILURE AND SOMETIMES INCLUDES AN "ENGINE SPEED SENSOR" FAILURE; I PHONED NISSAN U.S.A OPERATIONS AND WAS TOLD BY THEIR REPRESENTATIVE THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL FOR THESE PROBLEMS; THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SCAM BY NISSAN TO NOT INCLUDE MY VIN BASED UPON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUES AND THE VIN'S NOT BEING INCLUDED; I PLAN TO SUE NISSAN FOR THE REPAIRS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT IN CALIFORNIA IF IT IS NOT RECTIFIED. *TR

THIS 2006 NISAAN ALTIMA IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME MALFUNCTIONS AS IN PREVIOUS RECALLS. THE CRANK SENSOR IS CAUSING THE CAR TO ABRUPTLY STOP RUNNING IF DRIVEN AT LOW SPEED. INCIDENT ALMOST OCCURRED ON PA TURNPIKE DURING AM RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND FINALLY STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA IN MID-DAY. I HAD TO PUT CAUTION LIGHTS ON IMMEDIATELY AND HOPE THAT I DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE RE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER. IT IS SUCH A MAJOR CONCERN AND NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION ONCE AGAIN I SEE. THANKS SO MUCH! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. A FEW DAYS LATER THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIANS ADVISED THAT THE ENGINE SPEED SENSOR AND THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR FAILED AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V527000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO ADVISED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

UNDER NHTSA ID NUMBER 07V527000. ON 07/20/11 I HAD A SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT COME ON. CAR WAS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY, SO WE TOOK IT TO KEN GANLEY NISSAN FOR SERVICE. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT APPEARED ON NHTSA ID 07V52700 FOR THE 2.5 ENGINE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. THE DEALER STATED THIS VEHICLE WAS NO ON THE RECALL LIST. SINCE THIS IS THE SAME FAILURE THAT WAS TO BE RECALLED, WHY WAS I CHARGED $315.22 FOR REPAIRS? IT APPEARS TO ME THAT NISSAN DID NOT TAKE CARE OF ALL THE RECALLED VEHICLES, BUT PICKED AND CHOSE ONLY CERTAIN ONES TO REDUCE THEIR EXPENSES. IT DISTORTS THE PURPOSE OF A RECALL PROCESS. UPDATED 10/20/11 *BF

I WAS DRIVING SOUTH BOUND WHEN A CARD SLAMMED INTO MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. MY CAR WAS THEN PUSHED OVER THREE LANES INTO THE CORNER WALL, ELECTRIC BOX, AND 2 FOOT HIGH ROCK. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND I HIT MY HEAD ON THE DASH BOARD. *TR

SEVERAL 2005 AND 2006 NISSAN ALTIMAS SE-RS (INCLUDING MINE) HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL GETTING STUCK ON THE FLOOR UNABLE TO COME BACK UP AND NOT BEING ABLE TO CHANGE GEARS. DEALERSHIPS ACCROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE DENY THE ISSUE AND DENY REPAIRS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND AN ACCIDENT CAN HAPPEND DUE TO THIS. TO ME, IS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I PURCHASE THE CAR AT 37,000 MILES AND IT KEEPS HAPPENING NOW AT 86,000 MILES...THIS IS HAPPENING TO SEVERAL OTHERS AS WELL AND A WEBSITE HAS BEEN CREATED WITH EVERYONE'S CONCERNS. PLEASE RECALL!!! *TR

ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT AND CLUTCH PEDAL SANK TO FLOOR AND WOULD NOT RETURN, CLUTCH DID NOT DISENGAGE. MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO GET CAR OUT OF GEAR, AND IMPOSSIBLE TO REENGAGE GEAR. LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP WITHOUT ACCIDENT. DEALER REPORTED FAILED CLUTCH LINE / MASTER CYLINDER LED TO LOSS OF FLUID & INABILITY TO DISENGAGE CLUTCH. *TR
