Electronic Stability Control problem #1

First of all I noticed on 06/07/11 that my 2004 Nissan Altima3. 5 se passenger floor board has a big rust spot which is about 11 inches by 7 inches, but the rest of the floor board is in pristine condition. Huh. Also the timing tension chain tensioner went bad on 05/01/12, with 86000 miles and had to be repaired which was a very expensive to repair, and saw that this is a common problem on the Altima 3. 5 l engine. Hmmmm. And then, the car kept on stalling out going down the road, was told it was the cam shaft sensors, and had to have them replaced, now my service engine light will not go off, but engine is running good now. I bought a new 2012 Altima 3. 5 sl back in December 2011, kept the 04 Altima, most of these problems happened five months after buying the 2012 don't think.

Electronic Stability Control problem #2

I was driving my car and suddenly my car stopped working. Then I get it checked from the mechanics and its says that crankshaft sensor and speed sensor malfunction.

Electronic Stability Control problem #3

While driving, the car just stops running with no warning. Engine light comes on. Was told by a mechanic who put it on the computer that it is the cam sensor.

Electronic Stability Control problem #4

I have a 2004 Nissan Altima, I was on the freeway with my 2 year old grandson when my car stalled, I tried to start my car several time before it would turn back on. The problem is the camshaft sensor! they have had this problem on their Altimas since 2002. And are still experiencing the problem. Only now instead of paying for the camshaft sensor to be replaced (as they did in 2002) they will only reprogram the ecm. I had to have 2 malfunction camshaft sensors replaced. The circuit board for the camshaft sensor may have an improper solder joint due to solder deformation had produced an improved camshaft/ crankshaft sensor. Which tells me there aware of this issue but don't want to take responsibility. What will it take a fatality! this is appearing in all different years of this model of car. . Read more...
