ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 2.5L ENGINE, THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CAN OVERHEAT CAUSING A BRIEF INTERRUPTION IN THE SIGNAL OUTPUT FROM THE SENSOR.
IF THE INTERRUPTION IN THE SIGNAL FROM THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR IS SO BRIEF THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM) LOGIC DOES NOT HAVE TIME TO DIAGNOSE THE CONDITION, THE ENGINE MAY STOP RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AT A LOW SPEED INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE ECM FREE OF CHARGE. CERTAIN MY 2006 ALTIMAS WHICH HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY REMEDIED UNDER RECALL CAMPAIGN 06V223 (NISSAN R0606) ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL SINCE THE REPROGRAMMING FOR 06V223 ALSO INCLUDED THIS REPROGRAMMING. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 31, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 2.5L ENGINES MAY EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION AS A RESULT OF IMPROPER PERFORMANCE OF THE PISTON RINGS.
IF THE OIL IS NOT MAINTAINED AT LEAST AT THE MINIMUM LEVEL, ENGINE DAMAGE CAN OCCUR AND IN EXTREME CASES RESULT IN AN ENGINE FIRE.
DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM OR ENGINE COMPUTER). YOUR VEHICLE WILL ALSO BE INSPECTED TO DETERMINE IF IT HAS BEEN CONSUMING ENGINE OIL AT A HIGHER THAN NORMAL RATE. IN A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF VEHICLES, ENGINE REPLACEMENT WILL BE NEEDED. ON JUNE 9, 2006, NISSAN NOTIFIED OWNERS OF THE POSSIBILITY OF EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING THE OIL AT A PROPER LEVEL. FOLLOW-UP LETTER TO OWNERS ADVISING THEM OF THE STATUS OF THE RECALL WAS SENT DURING AUGUST 2006. FOLLOWUP LETTER TO OWNERS WAS SENT ON NOVEMBER 15, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE REAR SUBFRAME MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRACK IN A BRACKET WHICH HOLDS PART OF THE REAR SUSPENSION.

1. CAR RANDOMLY HAS SLOW ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. I CAN TURN OFF THE CAR, WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND IT BEGINS WORKING OK AGAIN. 2. CAR SOMETIMES RANDOMLY LOSES POWER WITH NO WARNING. 3. SOMETIMES IF IT STALLS AND EVENTUALLY CRANKS UP, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES SLOW ACCELERATION ISSUES AGAIN BUT THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I HAVE TAKEN TAKEN THIS CAR TO THE SHOP REPEATED AND THEY DON'T PULL ANYTHING ON THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. NO PROBLEM CAN BE FOUND. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY, CHANGED OUR CAN SENSOR, CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY, EVERYTHING SEEMS GOOD FOR A LITTLE WHILE (FEW DAYS OR COUPLE OF WEEKS) AND THEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENS AGAIN. I READ IN VARIOUS FORUMS THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE HAPPENING WITH MANY ALTIMAS FOR VARIOUS MODEL YEARS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISSUE HAS NOT CALLED FOR A NATIONAL RECALL. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! MY FRIEND ALSO HAS A 2006 ALTIMA AND HER CAR HAS BEGUN TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING!. PLEASE HELP. THE FIRST TIME IT LOST POWER IT WAS DURING A MORNING COMMUTE TO WORK WHILE DRIVING ON THE CALIFORNIA 91 FREEWAY! IT REALLY TERRIFIED ME BECAUSE I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR INVOLVED IN A VERY BAD ACCIDENT. MOST RECENT INCIDENT HAPPENED LAST WEEK. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY OR LONG DISTANCES. I HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR THE WEEKEND BECAUSE I HAD TO WORK TODAY, AND BEING SATURDAY, THE COMMUTER BUS THAT I NOW TAKE TO WORK BECAUSE I DON'T TRUST MY CAR, DOES NOT RUN ON THE WEEKENDS. I WANT TO GET A NEW CAR BUT CAN'T AFFORD HAVING MONTHLY PAYMENTS AGAIN. I DIDN'T START HAVING ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR UNTIL IT WAS PAID OFF.

MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA FAILED THE YEARLY MASSACHUSETTS INSPECTION. THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD WAS RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED TO PASS INSPECTION. IN SPEAKING WITH THE MECHANIC, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR ALTIMAS. I WANTED TO ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE 100S OF OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD TO REPAIR THIS VEHICLE DEFECT WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR HELP FROM NISSAN. THANK GOODNESS FOR AN ALERT MECHANIC!

CRANKSHIFT SENSOR FAILURE CAUSES CAR TO JERK AND THEN SHUT DOWN WITHOUT ANY NOTICE AN WARNING. SEVERAL 100S OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND 2006 MODELS HAD RECALLS BUT SPECIAL EDITIONS WERE NOT INCLUDED. IT IS SO UNSAFE AND VARIOUS PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN CLOSE TO HORRIBLE ACCIDENTS DUE TO IT. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE!

I JUST PURCHASED MY CAR 2 YEARS AGO AT A DEALER AND THE CARS PAINT AND CLEAR IS FADING AND MY CAR LOOKS UGLY, I HAVE QUOTED AT A PAINT BODY SHOP AND THEY TRYING TO CHARGE $800 OR MORE. I AM STILL PAYING THIS CAR AND DON'T APPRECIATE THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A DEFECT FROM THE COMPANY.

THE FLOOR BOARDS ARE RUSTING OUT ON OUR CAR. YOU CAN SEE THE CARPET PADDING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. THIS IS OCCURRING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AS WELL. WE ALWAYS MAINTAIN OUR VEHICLES AND THIS SITUATION IS VERY ALARMING TO US.

HAD NORMALLY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON 2006 ALTIMA TO INCLUDE TIRE ROTATION. DISCOVERED THAT THE FLOOR BOARDS ON FRONT ON BOTH SIDES ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH, I CAN SEE THE CARPET. WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION, HAVE CONTACTED A GARAGE FOR REPAIR COSTS. MY CAR IS CARPORT KEPT, I WASH WEEKLY AND IS KEPT SPOTLESS. AFTER READING THE MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION. I HAVE DRIVEN NISSANS FOR 25 YEARS, EVEN MY 14 YR. OLD SENTRA WASN'T RUSTED WHEN I SOLD IT.

NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE THAT MANY OF THEIR MAKES FOR SEVERAL YEARS HAVE TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THEM, AND NOT THE CUSTOMER. THERE IS (WAS??) A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM THAT MET MY ISSUES TO A T. THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN HESITATING WHEN GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, AND THEN JERKING VERY HARD INTO GEAR. NOW IT ROUGH SHIFTS BETWEEN GEARS, AND WHEN DRIVING IF I SLOW DOWN AND BEGIN TO ACCELERATE AGAIN IT HESITATES AND ALMOST STOPS, THEN THE RPM GOES UP HIGH AND JERKS VERY HARD INTO GEAR. THE ISSUE IS INCREASINGLY GETTING WORSE. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND PAY FOR THEIR ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS EFFECTING HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMERS. I HAVE A WARRANTY BUT THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME UNLESS MY TRANSMISSION IS IN PIECES ON THE MECHANICS FLOOR SO THEY CAN LOOK AT IT. THE WARRANTY COMPANY SAYS IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO FIND THE MECHANIC, AUTHORIZE THE TEAR DOWN, AND THEN OF COURSE PAY THE BILL IF THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT. THIS ISSUE IS NOT MY FAULT AND I SHOULD NOT BE PENALIZED FOR SOMETHING I DID NOT DO. I CHOSE NISSAN EXPECTING QUALITY AND SO THAT IS NOT WHAT I HAVE RECEIVED. I PAID MY CAR OFF IN A YEAR (AND IT WASN'T CHEAP!) SO I CANNOT JUST GO TRADE IT IN, AND I DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO PAY ANOTHER CAR NOTE. I EXPECTED AT LEAST 10 YEARS OUT OF THE CAR, AND SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET FAR MORE THAN 10 YEARS OUT OF IT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. MY CAR IS BREAKING DOWN IN FRONT OF MY EYES WITH LESS THAN 115,000 MILES ON IT AND THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A QUALITY CAR. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE THE ONE TO PAY THESE REPAIRS. WE ARE VICTIMS AND WE DESERVE TO BE COMPENSATED, NOT BE PUNISHED.

WHILE DRIVING ~25 MPH I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT AND MY CAR SPONTANEOUSLY SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC! I WAS ABLE TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND RESTART THE CAR. A FEW DAYS LATER, IT TOOK 3 ATTEMPTS BEFORE MY ENGINE STARTED. AFTER A DIAGNOSTIC, THE CAR DISPLAYED CODES P0335 (CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR) AND P0725 (ENGINE SPEED CIRCUIT SIGNAL SENSOR). AFTER DOING MUCH RESEARCH I FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH SIMILAR ISSUES! I INPUT MY VIN# TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER RECALL AND IT WASN'T. AFTER SEEING HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS, WHY HASN'T THEIR BEEN A RECALL? IF THERE WAS, HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT MY CAR WASN'T RECALLED?

THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. THE AREA IS APPROXIMATELY 5IN BY 12IN AND IT SEEMS THAT IT US DUE TO IMPROPER DRAINAGE FROM THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. SOUND DAMPENING MATERIAL IS APPLIED ABOVE A DRAIN HOLE NOT ALLOWING WATER TO DRAIN OUT. NOW I HAVE CONCERN WITH THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE VEHICLE SINCE THE BODY IS PART OF THE FRAME. ...UPDATED 09/28/15 *BF UPDATED 10/31/2017*CN

WHILE PULLING TO A STOP LIGHT, THE CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURNED OFF & ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR. IT WOULDN'T IMMEDIATELY START. THIS HAPPENS SPONTANEOUSLY IN DRIVE-THRUS, STOPLIGHTS AND WHEN COMING TO COMPLETE OR NEAR COMPLETE STOPS IN TRAFFIC AS WELL. MOST RECENTLY I WAS EXITING THE INTERSTATE EXIT AND THE CAR STOPPED AS A SLOWED TO TURN LEFT OFF THE EXIT, ALMOST RESULTING IN A CAR REAR ENDING MY VEHICLE AT 50 MILES PER HOU. THE SES (SERVICE ENGINE SOON) LIGHT IS DISPLAYED AND EVEN AFTER HAVING AN OIL CHANGE AND TUNE UP THE LIGHT IS STILL ILLUMINATED, CONFIRMING IT'S AN ONGOING ISSUE OUTSIDE OF STANDARD MAINTENANCE. I'VE BEEN PROVIDED A REFERENCE NUMBER AND DROPPED THE CAR AT NISSAN DEALERSHIP TODAY TO DIAGNOSE. IM FEARFUL OF MY SAFETY OPERATING THE VEHICLE AT THIS POINT.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 ALTIMA ON 6/8/15 FOR A FEW MINUTES AFTER STARTING IT WHEN IT HAD BEEN PARKED FOR MORE THAN 12 HOURS, THE CAR STALLED. IT RESTARTED AND I CONTINUED TO DRIVE. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THIS OCCURRED AGAIN EXACTLY THE SAME. THEN THE NEXT DAY, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING ONLY A FEW HOURS AND "THREW A CODE" , I.E. THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON. TODAY, 6/13/15, IT OCCURRED AGAIN WHEN DRIVING A FEW MINUTES AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING FOR MORE THAN 8 HOURS. THIS TIME THE CAR ALMOST WOULDN'T RESTART. I LOOKED UP THIS ISSUE AND FOUND A RECALL ON THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I TOOK THE CAR TO COURTESY NISSAN WHO TOLD ME THAT MY CAR DID NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL. AFTER THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM VIA THE CODE, IT WAS THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE GARAGE INFORMED ME THAT THE FLOOR BOARD ON THE DRIVER SIDE WAS RUSTED OUT SO BAD THAT YOU COULD TOUCH THE CARPET FROM THE BOTTOM. ALSO THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS RUSTED WITH A HOLE BUT NOT AS BIG AS THE DRIVER SIDE. I AM NOT SURE WHY NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS BEING THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS. THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE CONSIDERING IT WILL NOT PASS A SAFETY INSPECTION.

THE FLOOR BOARDS ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER HAVE ROOTED OUT ALMOST COMPLETELY ON MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. I HAVE NOTICED THIS A ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND IT HAS GOT INCREASINGLY WORSE SINCE. I CAN PUSH THE CARPET UP FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE AND FEEL VERY UNSAFE. I AM CAREFUL NOT TO PUT WEIGHT ON THE FLOORS WHILE ENTERING THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR I AM GOING TO PUT MY FOOT THROUGH THE FLOOR. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE DUE TO A FLAWED DESIGN IN THE DRAIN SYSTEM. THE FLOORBOARDS HOLD WATER WHICH MAY ACCUMULATE THROUGH THE DOOR WHILE RAINING AND SALT AND WATER FROM THE UNDER SIDE. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL AND MAKE NISSAN FIX THESE VEHICLES THAT COULD STAY ON THE ROAD FOR MANY MORE YEARS. MY CAR HAS 109K MILES ON IT AND IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE AND RUNS VERY WELL. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO DO THIS JOB MYSELF OR PAY 1,000 TO GET IT FIXED.
