2006 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

MY DTE SAID 180 MILES, WITH ALMOST A HALF TANK OF GAS, CAR STOPPED ON ME ON FREEWAY, NO WARNING LIGHT OF LOW FUEL. CAR STOPPED AND AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE DTE OR GAS GAUGE DOES NOT READ ACCURATELY. PLEASE I NEED HELP

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 45 MPH, WHEN MY CAR'S ENGINE SHUT DOWN. I PANICKED AND HAD TO COAST OVER A LANE TO GET TO THE HIGHWAY SHOULDER. MY CAR WOULD NOT RESTART AND I HAD TO CALL FOR TOWING. THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS A BAD CAM SHAFT SENSOR. I HAVE REPLACED THIS SENSOR AT LEAST 4 TIMES ON THIS VEHICLE. IT CLEARLY IS A DEFECT BY THE MAKER. NISSAN SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THEIR RECALL, YET SO MANY NISSANS ARE STILL HAVING HE SAME ISSUE.

AFTER THE ENGINE HAS STARTED IT MAY SHUT DOWN RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. IF THE CAR IS SHUT DOWN FOR ANY REASON IT WILL NOT START BACK UP FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THIS IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS A PREVIOUS RECALL ON THE CAR FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V527000. IT HAS SHUT DOWN TWICE NOW WHILE DRIVING AT LESS THEN 40 MILES AN HOUR.

VEHICLE WAS BEING DROVE DOWN MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT LOSES ALL POWER, GET OFF HIGHWAY ON EDGE PUT IT IN PARK, TURN KEY COMPLETELY OFF AND TRY TO RESTART CAR FAILS TO START CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS. GET CODE PULLED SHOWS CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR A. GET THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR REPLACED AND CODE CLEARED. HEAD HOME WITH CAR, DOES SAME EXACT THING THAT HAPPENED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY IN TOWN. HAVE HAD EVERYTHING ELSE LOOKED AT AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM. CAR ACTS AS IF IT'S HARD TO START EVER SINCE THIS HAPPENED. DEFINITELY WON'T BE TAKING IT OUT OF TOWN UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE. CAR WILL SIT AND CRANK AND CRANK THEN EVENTUALLY DECIDES TO START. STARTER ISN'T ISSUE IT WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED NOT EVEN 2 MONTHS AGO DUE TO IT GOING OUT.

EXCESS ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL #06V223000 - I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO AN AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP BECAUSE MY VEHICLE RAN OUT OF OIL ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND THE LOW OIL LIGHT DID NOT COME ON TO LET ME KNOW THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE. DURING EACH OCCASION, I PULLED OVER BECAUSE I HEARD A LOUD "KNOCKING' SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE AS I WAS DRIVING AND BECAME WORRIED. EACH TIME THE ISSUE OCCURRED BEFORE THE 3 MONTH/3,000 MILE SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE. THE MECHANIC LOCATED AN EXTERNAL OIL LEAK ON THE 1ST OCCASION AND REPAIRED THE EXTERNAL LEAK. MY CAR WAS INSPECTED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER EXTERNAL OIL LEAKS WHEN THE PROBLEM OF RUNNING OUT OF OIL CONTINUED TO OCCUR; HOWEVER, NO ADDITIONAL EXTERNAL LEAKS WERE LOCATED. MY MECHANIC RECOMMENDED THAT I CONTACT NISSAN REGARDING THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I WAS ADVISED BY A NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY FIXED THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE FOR MY VIN AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT INSPECT OR REPAIR THAT ISSUE AGAIN WITHOUT ME PAYING A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER.

NEWLY PURCHASED USED CAR....A SLIGHT HESITATION AND THEN SUDDEN SURGE TYPE FEEL UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION AT LOW SPEEDS.

TAKATA RECALL. MY BACK SEAT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT DOES NOT RETRACT. MY CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE SEAT BELT BROKE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK AGO, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (LITHIA NISSAN OF FRESNO, 5580 N BLACKSTONE AVE, FRESNO, CA 93710) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OVER A DECADE OLD; THEREFORE, THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR. THERE WERE NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 131,500.

THE CAR SOMETIMES SMOKE AFTER YOU CRANK IT UP WE HAD THE VALUE COVER AND GASKETS REPLACED AND IT STILL DOING IT. THESES CARS AFTER THEY GET A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MILES THEY DO THIS. THE MECHANIC TOLD US IT IS THE RINGS IN THE ENGINE THAT HAS WENT BAD.

CAR WAS SPUTTERING AT INTERSECTIONS AND HARD TO START. TOOK TO MECHANIC TWICE & HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG; SAID HE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A RECALL PROBLEM; SAY WHERE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE WIRING HARNESS ON FULL PUMP SHORTING OUT; PART IS ON NATIONAL RECALL; SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON
