2006 Nissan Altima Electrical Problems

Your car is displaying error codes P0462 and P0447 even after you've replaced the water pump, belt, thermostats, rotors, brakes, fuel pump, spark plugs, fuel injectors, and evap vent valve solenoid. You're experiencing misfiring, stalling, and your speedometer is reading about 10 mph faster than your actual speed. The fuel pump appears to be missing its fuel level sensor despite having a new float bar and pump assembly.

Your car's crankshaft or camshaft sensor has failed, causing your engine to stall or shut off unexpectedly while driving. The check engine light came on to indicate this problem. This is a safety hazard because your engine can die without warning.

Your car won't start. This could be caused by an issue with the electrical system, engine, or fuel system. You may need to have a mechanic diagnose which component is preventing the engine from turning over.

MY VEHICLE'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ONE DAY SO I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR SO THEY REPLACED IT. THEN RIGHT AFTER I LEFT MY LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AGAIN AND HE SAID IT WAS THE SAME CODE FOR THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. AFTER CHECKING IT AGAIN THE MECHANIC SAID THERE IS SOME SORT OF ELETRICAL PROBLEM THERE BECAUSE IT TELLS HIM TO"CHECK CIRCUITS" BUT EVEN AFTER MESSING AROUND WITH THE CIRCUITS MY LIGHT IS STILL ON.

WHEN I DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY POPS ON AND OFF THE CAR CONSUMES A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL EACH WEEK, I HAVE TO CHECK THE OIL AND KEEP A CASE OF OIL WITH THE FILTER IN MY TRUCK TO CONSTANTLY FILL IT UP. THE CAR DRAINS GAS LIKE CRAZY, AND IT'S SLOW AND DRIVING AND SLUGGISH. THE CAR HAS CUT OFF ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING WHERE I HAD TO SPEND OVER $500 TO GET IT REPAIRED.

VEHICLE TRIES TO START BUT WON'T. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WHILE TRYING TO START. BATTERY IS FINE, THERE'S ENOUGH GAS, IT TRIES TO START BUT WON'T TURN OVER.

I WAS DRIVING 2 WEEKS AGO N I WAS DONIG ABOUT 45 OR 50 WHEN IT JUST SHUT OFF BY ITS SELF NO WARNING OR NOTHING N ITS COSTED ME LOTS OF MONEY ON TOP OF JUST REPLACING ALMOST THE WHOLE FRONT SUSPENSION I WAS ON A CITY SREET IN MOTION WHEN IT JUST CUT OFF 6

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

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.

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

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON, STATING LOW FUEL SENSOE OUT. $1200.00 WORHT OF WORK, REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND SENSOR. NOW THEY ARE STATING IT IS THE WIRING HARNESS ON FUEL PUMP SHORTING OUT. PART IS ON NATIONAL RECALL.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION NEEDS SHIFT LOCK CONTROL UNITS REPLACED DUE TO FAULTY SHIFT LOCK CONTROL UNITS BEING PUT IN BY NISSAN

WE WOULD ALWAYS COMMENT ABOUT HOW PEOPLE WERE IN A HURRY SINCE THEY ALWAYS SPED PAST US WHEN WE WERE DOING THE SPEED LIMIT ACCORDING TO THE SPEEDOMETER. UNFORTUNATELY, WE HOOKED UP A GPS TO THE CAR AND IT TELLS US WE'RE GOING 4 MILES SLOWER THAN WHAT THE SPEEDOMETER SAYS. HONESTLY, A SPEEDOMETER SHOULD READ CORRECTLY ON A CAR THAT WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND NEVER HAD ANYTHING DONE TO IT THAT WOULD THROW OFF THE SPEEDOMETER READING. (SUCH AS DIFFERENT SIZED TIRES BEING PUT ON IT)

2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE ENGINE FIRE AFTER ENGINE REPAIRS. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH ANY REPAIRS. ALONG WITH THE ENGINE, THE HORN ALSO FAILED. UPDATED 08/17/2017*JS

MY CAR BRIEFLY STALLS WHEN I DRIVE HIGHWAY IN EVERYDAY. MECHANICS SAID IT IS CRANKSHAFT SENSOR ISSUE. I CHANGED IT WITH MY EXPENSE IN 2013 BUT SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS AGAIN. WHEN I CALL NISSAN, IT SAID MY CAR IS NOT UNDER RECALL.

THE VEHICLE THREW A CODE FOR THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR HAD THAT REPLACED THEN THE VEHICLE THREW A CODE FOR THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. MIDAS REPLACED TWO OF THEM STILL COULD NOT CLEAR THE CODE. THE VEHICLE WILL START IN DRIVE BUT IT WILL SPUTTER WHILE STOPPED LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR COMING TO A STOP THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET STARTED AGAIN.

"TAKING RECALL"I GOT A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA WHEN I LOOK UNDER THE COVER I SAW THE CONNECTORS THAT GOES TO SPARK PLUG MELTED BY OVER HEAT (SMALL FIRE)MY ENGINE CONTROL MODULE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IT READ SENSOR ONE TIME CRANKSHAFT NEXT TIME UP AND DOWN STREAM SENSOR LOT OF DIFFERENT READINGS WHICH IS NOT SAFE FOR ROAD WHICH MAY LEAD TO ACCIDENT.

NISSAN ALTIMA 2006 REPEATEDLY FAILS TO START. ONCE WE GOT IT STARTED WE WOULD DRIVE A SHORT DISTANCE AND THEN IT WOULD DIE OUT. VERY SCARY AS WE WERE ON A TRAFFIC ROADWAY. WE PROCEEDED TO A SERVICE CENTER TO GET A NEW BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR BUT THAT ONLY STARTED THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW MOMENTS THEN IT DIED OUT AGAIN. REPAIR TECHNICIAN INFORMED US IT WAS THE NISSAN COMPUTER BOX INDICATING IT WAS READING EVERYTHING "BACKWARDS" AND THUS THE CAR COULD NOT DETERMINE HOW TO START THE CAR ANYMORE. THE SERVICE CENTER GOT IN TOUCH WITH A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND ORDERED A NEW COMPUTER BOX. THE NEW COMPUTER DID NOT WORK EITHER! WE ARE STUCK WITH AN INOPERABLE VEHICLE. HELP!

MY CAR WOULD STALL AND SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENED ONE DRIVING ABOUT 20MPH AND THEN A FEW TIMES IN TRAFFIC. THEN WOULD NOT CRANK TO START. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD THE CODES READ AND IT WAS PO725 SPEED SENSOR PO335 CAMSHAFT SENSOR. I HAD BOTH PARTS REPLACED 2 TIMES. CAR STILL HAS A HARD START AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. THERE IS A RECALL FROM NISSAN FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA RECALL ID#90579. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID MY VIN IS NOT AFFECTED??

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT AND CAM SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE WAITING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 9 YEARS AND HAVE BEEN LOCKED OUT THE VEHICLE, THE ALTERNATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE CAR SHUT DOWN 1 MONTH AGO. THE CAR HAS BEEN SHUTTING DOWN FOR 4 YRS WHEN THE WEATHER CHANGES. I JUST DISCOVERED A WHOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVER SIDE GROUND. DUE TO RUST THERE IS A WHOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR

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?

MY CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF PERIODICALLY WHILE BEING DRIVE AT LOW SPEEDS AND HIGHER OIL CONSUMPTION. THE FIRST TIME OCCURRED ON JUNE 6, 2015 WHILE DRIVING ACROSS WOODYARD ROAD TO PINE VIEW LANE FROM THE CLINTON SHOPPING CENTER. THE SECOND TIME WAS ON FRIDAY JUNE 12, 2015 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE BRANCH AVE METRO PARKING, WITH MY BROTHER ON THE WAY HOME, WHILE TURNING OFF FROM HIGHWAY 5 ON TO SURRATTS ROAD, LEAVING MY BROTHER AND I DANGEROUSLY STUCK THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE OFF CURVE WITH CARS GOING BY BLOWING THEIR HORNS. THE ALTIMA DOES START BACK UP, BUT ONLY AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO. NO APPARENT REASON WHY, NO WARNING LIGHTS. THE CAR HAS BEEN CONSUMING MORE OIL THAN USUAL AND AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND DOES NOT SHUT OFF. A SEARCH FOR RECALLS REVEALED IN FACT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED, 06V-223 ON THE 2006 ALTIMA, BUT WAS NOT NOTIFIED OR THE RECALL ADDRESSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 161,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. WITHOUT WARNING, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS AND THE PARKING LIGHTS FAILED TO WORK. THE CONTACT HAD TO USE THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS EACH TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07E087000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED SUCH AS IN A TRAFFIC JAM OR APPROACHING A CORNER/LIGHT THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF, RESTARTS BUT PROGRESSIVELY GETS HARDER OVER TIME. CALLED NISSAN.COM WAS TOLD TO TAKE TO NISSAN DEALER WHO UPDATED COMPUTER, STILL HAPPENS CALLED AGAIN AND TOLD TO TAKE AGAIN HOWEVER THIS TIME THEY CHARGED ME ALMOST $ 200.00 STILL NOT FIXED NISSAN REFUSED TO ASSIST. *TR

CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO ENGINE NOT STARTING AT TIMES, AND CUTTING OUT AT STOP LIGHTS WHICH WAS A SAFETY ISSUE IN TRAFFIC. AFTER TALKING WITH NISSAN I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED JN CAMPAIGN NUMBER 07V5727000 AND I FEEL IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THIS PART WAS REPLACED BY A PRIVATE AUTO REPAIR IN OCTOBER 2014 FOR A TOTAL OF $250.09. I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR IN APRIL OF 2014 FROM A TOYOTA USED CAR DEALERSHIP AND STARTED EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM SHORTLY THEREAFTER. PLEASE HELP ME RECOVER MY MONEY FOR REPAIRS. *TR

NISSAN SAYS CAR DOES NOT FALL UNDER RECALL FOR P0335 AND P0425 ENGINE LIGHT CODES! CRANK AND CAM SHAFT SENSORS HAD TO GET BOTH REPLACED $151.68 AND $218.00! I AM NOT HAPPY. *TR

THE CAR STALLED AND COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT. SINCE THIS TIME, THE CAR HAS DONE THIS MULTIPLE TIMES. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT 25 MILES PER HOUR AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO PULL OVER THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND RESTART THE CAR. IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR INTO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, OUR 2006 ALTIMA WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. *TR

BASED ON WHAT MY DAUGHTER TOLD ME, ON SUNDAY 8/24 SHE WAS TRAVELING ON I-96 IN MARYLAND. SHE WAS ON THE MILLARD E. TIDINGS BRIDGE WHEN SHE HAD TO SLOW FOR AN ACCIDENT. WHILE SLOWING, HER CAR JUST SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NOT START. SHE WAS STUCK IN THE LEFT LANE OF I-95 ON THE BRIDGE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON WHEN SHE TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. AAA WAS CALLED BUT THE POLICE HAD TO SHUT DOWN I-95 TO PUSH HER FROM THE LEFT LANE TO THE RIGHT HAND SHOULDER PAST THE BRIDGE. SHE WAS TOWED TO BALTIMORE AND THE VEHICLE WAS DROPPED AT A REPAIR FACILITY. THE NEXT DAY IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A BAD CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND REPAIRED. I RESEARCHED AND THERE IS A RECALL BY NISSAN FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM FOR OUR YEAR AND ENGINE ALTIMA. WHEN I CALLED NISSAN, THEY INDICATED OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. HUH? IT APPEARS THAT NISSAN SHOULD WIDEN THE RECALL AS THIS PROBLEM OBVIOUSLY STILL EXISTS AND IT PUTS DRIVERS IN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS POSITION OF HAVING THEIR CAR AND ALL ITS FUNCTIONS SHUT DOWN AND NOT RESTART. CAN IT GET ANY MORE DANGEROUS THAN AN INTERSTATE ON A SUMMER WEEKEND? I'M LUCKY MY DAUGHTER HANDLED THE ENTIRE ORDEAL CALM AND COLLECTEDLY OR THERE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. CAN YOU GET NISSAN TO ACKNOWLEDGE A LARGER POOL OF DEFECTIVE VEHICLE AND TO EXPAND THE SCOPE OF THE RECALL? OBVIOUSLY THEY DIDN'T GET THEM ALL. *TR

I WAS PARKED AT A BUS STOP I WAS TOLD TO MOVE I TURNED CAR ON AND IT SHUT OFF I TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WORKED NEXT DAY I WAS DRIVING CAME TO A STOP LIGHT AND THE CAR SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

I HAD A RECALL ON MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5L & I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN 2010 BECAUSE THE CAR ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVEN. IT OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES & SEVERAL TIMES IT OCCURRED ON A HIGHWAY GOING AT 60 MILES PER HOURS. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER & THE CHANGED THE PART BECAUSE OF THE RECALL. AFTER BATTLING FOR MONTH TO GET MY MONEY BACK FORM THE DEALER THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING AGAIN. IN 2012. I TRIED TO TRADE IT IN BUT THEY UNDER VALUED MY CAR BECAUSE OF THE RECALL HISTORY AT $2,500. I NEED HELP & NISSAN IS REFUSING TO PAY FULL TRADE VALUE ON A RECALL. ALL I WANT IS THE PROBLEM FIX PERMANENTLY INSTEAD OF HAVING THIS ONGOING PROBLEMS. NISSAN IS NOT TAKING MY CONCERN SERIOUSLY & I AM GETTING ROB ON A PROBLEM THAT IS NOT MY FAULT. *TR

VEHICLE STARTED TO IDLE ROUGH. AT LOW SPEEDS CAR WILL SHUT OFF. IT STARTS BACK UP BUT HAS TO BE IN NEUTRAL WHEN IDLE. NISSAN DEALER HAD THE CAR FOR OVER A MONTH AND TOLD ME TO REPLACE MY ECM AND HAVE IT REPROGRAMMED. THIS STILL HAS NOT FIXED MY PROBLEM AND I'M WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WHEN IT RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF. NISSAN USA HAS A CLAIM ON MY ISSUE AND WILL NOT TELL ME WHAT TO DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AND FLASHING. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SEAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO REMEDY THE DEFECT. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 08V521000(AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME DEFECT DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAD COOLANT SERVICE AND AFTER THAT I STARTED EXPERIENCING LOW LEVELS OF COOLANT WHICH LED TO OVERHEATING OF CAR. I KEPT GETTING THE CAR CHECK TO FIND OUT IF THERE WERE LEAKS. I CHECKED RECALL NOTICES AND THEN WAS TOLD I NEEDED SENSORS. I CALLED NISSAN IN SEPTEMBER AND WAS TOLD OUT OF THE 653K CARS MINE WAS NOT AFFECTED! I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE. I THEN HAD SENSORS REPLACED (CRANKSHAFT AND SPEED) . NOW I'M BEING TOLD HEAD GASKET BLOWN AND ENGINE NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THE RECALL FROM NISSAN SAYS THERE WE ENGINE COOLING PROBLEMS. *TR

WHILE AT A RED LIGHT, THE POWER ON MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER TRYING TO TURN OVER THE IGNITION SEVERAL TIMES, THE VEHICLE FINALLY STARTED. I DROVE IT TO ADVANCE AUTO WHERE THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND ADVISED THAT THERE WERE TWO ERROR CODES: P0725 & P0335 (ENGINE SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION & CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION). UPON CALLING MY MECHANIC,HE ADVISED THAT THIS HAS BEEN A TYPICAL PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL AND THAT HE BELIEVED THERE WAS A RECALL. I CALLED AND HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY NISSAN THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BUT MY VIN WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL. HOWEVER, NISSAN WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE WHICH VEHICLES WERE ACTUALLY PART OF THE RECALL! THERE ARE MANY UNRESOLVED COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE, AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS HAZARD FOR DRIVERS. WHAT IF THE VEHICLE STOPPED ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH? I WOULD LIKE VERIFIABLE INFORMATION ON WHAT VEHICLES THIS RECALL COVERED, AS NISSAN SEEMS TO BE DEFLECTING SOME OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

HANDLING OF THE NISSAN ALTIMA CRANK SHAFT SENSOR RECALL IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. NO NOTICE OF THE RECALL WAS EVER SENT, WHICH MEANT WE FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY: WHEN THE CAR STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY, WITHOUT WARNING (EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL THAT WASN'T SENT) I ONLY FOUND THE RECALL AFTER A LOCAL NON-NISSAN MECHANIC TOLD ME ABOUT IT, AND THEN WHEN I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER, THEY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE NATURE OF THE RECALL. PLEASE HELP! *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT APPROX 25 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE CUTOFF WITH NO WARNING. WAS ABLE TO COAST THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, RESTART, AND DROVE TO DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSIS ERROR CODE P0335 CAMSHAFT AND CRANKSHAFT SENSOR FAILURES AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR $570 (PLUS THE $110 DIAGNOSIS FEE). A RECALL EXISTS FOR SAME MAKE AND MODEL, BUT CAR VIN IS EXCLUDED. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON AND WIDESPREAD AFTER DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH. THE DEALERSHIP'S PARTS MANAGER ALSO STATED THIS WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. I FIND IT VERY DISTURBING THAT NISSAN WOULD KNOWINGLY RISK PASSENGER SAFETY BY NOT RECALLING AND COVERING THE COST OF REPAIR FOR A WELL MAINTAINED CAR THAT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS OTHERS IN THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL YEAR. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 2006. TWO WEEKS LATER THE CAR WOULD NOT CRANK AND THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. SHORTLY AFTER, I NOTICED THAT THE HEATING SYSTEM DID NOT WORK IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN I PLACED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE HEAT BLEW OUT COLD AIR. I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG, THEREFORE I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD "THAT IS THE WAY NEW MODELS ARE MADE". THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. IN THE WINTER WHEN THE CAR IS NOT MOVING (SUCH AS AT A RED LIGHT) COLD AIR BLOWS IN THE CAR, NOT HEAT. I HAVE EXPERIENCED RATTLING NOISES WITH MY CAR. IT CAN BE HEARD WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVEN AS IF SOMETHING IS LOOSE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP IN 2011 TO HAVE IT CHECKED. I GOT THE CAR FIXED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE NOISE CONTINUED. EACH YEAR I HAVE GOTTEN MY ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS REPLACED IN THE FRONT AND REAR. I DO NOT THINK THIS IS NORMAL. I HAVE HAD MY CAR 5.5 YEARS WITH 79K MILES. PROBLEMS HAVE OCCURRED WITH THE ELECTRICAL PART OF THE CAR. THE LIGHTS HAVE BECOME DEEMED WHEN I DROVE ON 2 OCCASIONS, THE PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT LOCK, THE SEAT DOES NOT ADJUST ALL THE WAY DOWN, AND SOMETIMES WHEN I PRESS THE ALARM BUTTON ON MY KEY, MY WINDOWS HAVE WENT DOWN AUTOMATICALLY. *JS

VEHICLE WOULD TURN OVER BUT WOULD NOT START. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. ONCE AT AROUND 60,000 MILES AND THE NEXT TIME AT 64,000 MILES. BOTH TIMES IT ENDED UP BEING THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR. BOTH CAMSHAFT SENSORS WERE REPLACED AS RECOMMENDED BY THE SHOP. *TR

I NOTICED THAT MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS A DESIGN DEFECT. WHEN YOU START UP THE ENGINE THE SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER LIGHTS UP AUTOMATICALLY, EVEN IF THE DRIVING LIGHTS ARE TURNED OFF. AT NIGHT TIME, THIS CAN LEAD THE DRIVER TO BELIEVE THAT HIS DRIVING LIGHTS ARE ON AS WELL, SINCE MOST OTHER CARS REQUIRE FOR THE LIGHTS TO BE TURNED ON, IN ORDER TO TURN ON THE ILLUMINATION ON THE SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER. I HAVE SEEN OTHER NISSAN ALTIMAS DRIVEN AT NIGHT (INCLUDING A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA HYBRID), WHICH LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS COMMON DESIGN FLAW FOR THESE CARS. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA (BRAND NEW) 2 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT, A RECALL REQUIRED A "NEW" ENGINE BE INSTALLED. SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP FOR RECALLS. MY PROBLEM NOW IS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, AND MY CAR SHUT OFF ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I POPPED INTO AUTO ZONE TO CHECK IT OUT AND IT IS THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ON THE 2006 ALTIMA'S BUT MINE IS NOT INCLUDED. SO I AM SUPPOSED TO PAY 397.00 TO HAVE THIS FIXED! I DON'T THINK SO. I FEEL I WAS SOLD A LEMON. AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR!! I CAN NOT DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE IT SHUTS OF OR ALMOST SHUTS OFF AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 45 TO 60. NISSAN SHOULD RECALL ALL 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA'S FOR THIS PROBLEM! *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA, LAST YEAR IN OCTOBER MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THIS CAR TO GO TO GROCERY STORE, JUST AS SHE ABOUT TO PARK THE CAR, THE VEHICLE DRIVER SIDE POWER SEAT SUDDENLY LUNGE FORWARD, IT CAUSE MY WIFE TO LOSE CONTROL AND HIT ANOTHER CAR THAT IS PARK NEXT TO WHERE SHE WAS ABOUT TO PARK. I TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, THE DRIVER SEAT WHERE AT A INVERT 60 DEGREE ANGLE, THE DEALERSHIP NOTICE THE POWER SUPPLY IS BURN, SO THEY REPLACE THE POWER SUPPLY, BUT REFUSE TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE TO MY CAR AND THE OTHER CAR MY WIFE HIT. I AM REGISTERING A COMPLAIN AGAINST THE NISSAN CAR COMPANY ABOUT THIS ISSUE, PLEASE ASSIST ME AND FIND IF THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE PRODUCT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALL.*TR

MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA TURNED OFF ON ME COMING TO AN INTERSECTION TWICE. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE SENSOR SO I TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALER TO GET IT FIX. WHAT I AM BEING TOLD BY THE DEALER SHIP IS THAT MY ALTIMA IS SHUTTING OFF BECAUSE THERE'S OIL ON MY CAM AND CRANK SENSOR WHICH THEY ARE CHARGING ME $370.00. I AM HEARING THAT THEY ARE GETTING ALOT OF CARS WITH THIS OIL ON THE SENSOR. HE SAID THAT THE SENSORS HAD ALOT OF OIL ON IT. I ASKED THEN HOW COME I NEVER SAW ANY OIL SPOTS WHERE I PARKED? OIL ON THE SENSORS SOUNDS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE THE RECALL. CAN YOU HELP TO SEE IF THE DEALER IS GETTING AWAY WITH THIS? CAN YOU HELP?? *CN

I HAVE 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA, FIRST, MY CAR WOULDN'T START UNTIL ABOUT THE FIFTH OR SEVENTH TRY..TOOK AND GOT THAT FIXED THEN THE DEALER HAD TO RE-PROGRAM MY KEY.. THEN AFTER ONE WEEK OF DRIVING.... IT JUST WOULDN'T START AT ALL. ALL WITH-IN A THREE PERIOD. SO IT IS IN THE SHOP RIGHT NOW. 6/06/2008...EVER SINCE 06/03/2008. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE ODOMETER WAS PUTTING MORE MILES ON THE VEHICLE THAN WHAT WAS ACTUALLY BEING DRIVEN. THE FAILURE WAS NOTICED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 41,000.

2006 ALTIMA 2.5 S THAT IS A LEMON CUSTOMER WANTS TO HAVE THE CAR REPLACED UNDER THE LEMON LAW**CC THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS NO START PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WOULD START UP WHEN SHE BEGAN HER DAY, BUT AT UNPREDICTABLE TIMES. THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE UNDER THE GAS PEDAL WHILE ACCELERATING AS WELL AS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THE DEALER STATED THE VIBRATION/GRINDING NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE TIRES. ALL THE WINDOWS AND DOORS WILL LOCK AND THE REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY DOES NOT SEEM TO WORK. THE CD PLAYER AND RADIO ARE NOT PLAYING PROPERLY. THE RADIO HAS A LOT OF STATIC. THE CD PLAYER MAKES THE CD'S SOUND LIKE THEY ARE SCRATCHED. *JB

WE PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA (NEW, NEVER OWNED) ON JANUARY 10, 2007. THE VEHICLE HAS DEFECTS AND HAS BEEN BOUGHT TO THE DEALER (NISSAN OF GARDEN CITY IN HEMPSTEAD,NEW YORK) ON FOUR OCCASIONS;1/25/07, 2/1/02, 2/5/07, AND 2/14/07. WE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA ON 1/17/07. FILE NUMBER 5593141. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE IS SLOW IN PROVIDING RESPONSE AND OTHER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES REFUSE TO PROVIDE NAME OR CONTACT INFORMATION OF MANAGERIAL STAFF. THEIR SINGLE MEANS OF COMMUNICATION IS THROUGH E-MAIL. THEIR ACTUAL POLICY IS TO WAIT 24 HOURS BEFORE RETURNING PHONE CALLS. I WAS ADVISED THIS BY ONE OF THEIR SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES AT THEIR "800" NUMBER. *NM

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. I HAVE AN AFTERMARKET GPS SYSTEM THAT I USE IN THE CAR. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE SPEED GAUGED BY THE GPS HAS A VARIANCE FROM WHAT SHOWS ON THE SPEEDOMETER. FOR INSTANCE, IF I AM TRAVELING 40 MPH AND HAVE THE CRUISE CONTROL SET TO THAT SPEED, THE GPS SHOWS THAT I AM ACTUALLY TRAVELING 36 MPH. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO DEVICES GROWS AS MY SPEED INCREASES. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TURNED, THERE WAS A LOUD BANG FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. AFTERWARDS, SMOKE CAME FROM THE FRONT END, BELOW THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW, AND BRIEF FLAMES ERUPTED FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE HOOD WAS OPENED TO REVEAL THE BATTERY HAD EXPLODED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SERVICE DEALER, WHERE THE DEALER TESTED AND REPLACED THE BATTERY. THERE WAS NO DETERMINATION MADE AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION.

THE HEATER/AIR CONDITIONING BLOWER TENDS TO NOT OPERATE PERIODICALLY! EXAMPLES: ON A COLD MORNING, THE CAR HAD TO BE RETURNED HOME SINCE THERE WAS NO BLOWER. ON A DAMP DAY, THE INTERIOR WINDOWS COULD NOT BE DEFOGGED DUE TO NO BLOWER. ON A DAMP MORNING, THE FROST ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE WINDSHIELD COULD NOT BE CLEARED BY THE DEFROST SETTING SINCE THE BLOWER FAILED TO OPERATE. WE WONDER HOW SAFE THIS VEHICLE WOULD BE DURING A PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN! OR DURING A SNOWFALL? PLEASE ADVISE ON WHAT ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN TO REMEDY THIS SERIOUS DEFECT.

PURCHASED NISSAN ALTIMA 2006 IN SEPT.05, FROM DAY 1 I HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT STARTING. AFTER SERVICE HAD THE CAR FOR 2 MONTHS I INVOKED THE LEMON LAW AND RECEIVED ANOTHER NISSAN ALTIMA 2006 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO THEY SAID THAT THESE ARE THE ONLY 2 NEW ALTIMA 2006 THEY'VE HAD A PROBLEM WITH. THEN I FOUND OUT THESE ARE THE ONLY 2 WITH FACTORY NAVIGATION SYSTEM. *JB
