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.

Suspension, rearFeb 13, 2006
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.
IF THE BRACKET IS CRACKED, THE STABILITY OF THE VEHICLE MAY BE AFFECTED UNDER SEVERE DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS COULD LEAD TO A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE REAR SUBFRAME TO DETERMINE IF IT WAS MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY AND REPLACE IT, IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 27, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

Electronic stability control (ESC), Jul 14, 2018
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.
Electrical system, Engine, Jun 27, 2018
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.

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.

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.

THE FLOOR PANELS HAVE COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH AND WILL REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL OF ALTIMAS
Structure, Mar 6, 2018
THE FLOOR PANS OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONTS HAVE BEEN RUSTING ON MY NISSAN ALTIMA FOR YEARS. I CAN NOT REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST NOTICED IT BUT IT WOULD BE ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO EASILY. ALSO THE EXTERIOR PAINT ON MY CAR HAS PREMATURELY DEGRADED TO THE POINT WHERE I ALMOST HAVE NO CLEAR COAT LEFT ON MY CAR. THE MAIN ISSUE IS THE RUST. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR RUST IN A FLAT PART UNDER NEATH A CAR WHERE WATER SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SIT. I WILL BE ATTACHING PICTURES THAT SHOW THE EXTENT OF THE ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO COME ACROSS NUMEROUS CHAT PAGES THAT HAVE THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENING TO THEIR CARS AS WELL. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD THAT CAN NOT POSSIBLY BE MEETING THE MINIMUM SAFETY STANDARDS. I DO LIVE IN A COLD WEATHER STATE NOW BUT THE RUSTING HAPPENED WHILE I WAS STILL LIVING IN SOUTH CAROLINA. THE FIXES FOR THIS ISSUE ARE EXPENSIVE AND SHOULD NOT BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONSUMER TO FIX WHEN IT IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR 2002-2006 ALTIMA SERIES. NOT ONLY DO THESE RUST SPOTS ALLOW FOR DEBRIS TO POSSIBLE COME INTO THE CABIN FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE BUT ALSO ALLOW FOR EXHAUST TO FILL THE CABIN. KOBE STEEL IS A KNOW SUPPLIER FOR NISSAN AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THEY SUPPLIED THE FLOOR PANELS FOR THESE YEAR OF ALTIMA'S SINCE THEY HAVE ADMITTED TO USING MATERIAL THAT IS NOT UP TO STANDARDS. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE FLOORBOARDS FIXED WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY OR SOMETHING TO MAKE THIS SITUATION RIGHT. MY CAR CURRENTLY WITH THE RUST AND PAINT ISSUES IS UN-SELLABLE AND HAS LOST 100% OF ITS VALUE. THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING THIS COMPLAINT. AGAIN THE EXACT START TIME FOR THE RUST OR THE PAINT IS UNKNOWN BUT IT STARTED AROUND 5 YEARS AGO.

WENT OUT TO MY CAR ( PARKED) AND NOTICED SOMETHING HANGING FROM UNDERNEATH DRIVERS SIDE. A LARGE MASS OF RUSTED FLOOR BOARD WAS HANGING TO THE GROUND. I TOUCHED IT AND IT FELL OFF, ABOUT A FOOT LONG AND JUST AS WIDE.LAID ON GROUND TO SEE UNDER CAR AND THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR BOARD IS RUSTED OUT.HAS BEEN FOR REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND THE MECHANIC HAS NOT MENTIONED THIS.I DISCUSSED WITH MECHANIC AND HE NOTIFIED ME THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS BEFORE AND I SHOULDN'T ALLOW MY TEEN DAUGHTER TO DRIVE HER CAR BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE.I THEN CHECKED ON THE INTERNET TO FIND OUT THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING ALL NISSAN ALTIMA'S FROM 2002-2006. YET, NISSAN HAS NOT TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS IN A RECALL . IS NISSAN WAITING FOR MY DAUGHTERS FOOT TO GO THROUGH THE FLOOR AND CRASH AND DIE BEFORE THEY DO THE RIGHT THING. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP IN OR STEP UP TO RESOLVE THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. SO THE CAR REMAINS PARKED.QUESTION 'WOULD THEY LET THERE TEEN DRIVE THIS CAR "? REMEMBER THE DRIVERS SEAT IS ALSO ATTACHED TO THIS AREA WILL IT STAND UP TO A CRASH OR GIVE WAY THROWING DRIVER THROUGH FRONT WINDOW ? TAKING PICTURES OF DAMAGE TO DOCUMENT. THANKS
