Camshaft Position Sensor problems of the 2004 Nissan Altima

I was driving down the interstate going 60-65 mph, with my girlfriend and my newborn daughter. The check engine light came on, the car shut off and the engine stalled with a river of traffic surrounding around me. After about 10 minutes the car finally started back up & ran fine. A few days later the car became harder to start and the engine shut off on the interstate once again. I got the engine code, checked out and it was p0340 (cam shaft position sensor). Upon further research I noticed that this is a very common nationwide problem. Not only does the engine stall while driving, it completely causes the motor to shut off! the motor in a vehicle shutting off while going down a jammed interstate or going across railroad tracks is extremely unsafe and it is unacceptable to not get recognized. After experiencing this horrible situation, and viewing the countless people who have experienced it as well. I am flabbergasted the cam/crankshaft sensor for the 2002-2005 Altima has yet to be recalled. The chance of the part being deficient is abnormally high. The part is incapable of performing it purpose, because once repaired it continuously has to be replaced. Nissan does state that this is a deficient part and there is a service bulletin on it. But a service bulletin does not do anyone any justice when the sensors have to be replaced once a year!!.

My 04 Nissan Altima v6 one day began to buck while on the highway. I made it home, then when I went to start it wouldn't. Basically ever since that day it's been an on going problem w/ not starting, shutting off unexpectedly while driving and completely locking up making it very difficult to pull over and dangerous. At one point it would not accelerate. I am the mother of an infant so until I find a resolution I need to borrow cars to travel with him. I have replaced the camshaft sensor and the throttle position sensor which were the codes that came up and still I cannot drive my car. I then researched my make/model/year and found I was not alone. Many others have encountered the same issues and have yet to reach a resolution and apparently Nissan is not declaring a recall on 2004's but have on "02" and "03" which had the same exact issues. I do not want to continue to buy parts and try to fix something that is defective as I read many others have done. I plan on contacting the bbb and taking it from there because I don't know what to do. So here I am making payments on a vehicle that is extremely unsafe for my child and I and no answers on why these cars are malfunctioning and continuing to read camshaft. . . Etc even after being replaced???? please help.

Car shut off while driving. Car also doesn't start up right away. Tried to bring it to Nissan but they said my VIN# wasn't included in the well known recall (camshaft sensor). Bs if you ask me! they're going to put peoples lives at risk. So I went to advanced auto parts store and got the code read and it was a p-03040 which was a camshaft position sensor malfunction. I googled a bit and found out there's plenty of people out there with this problem. I even called Nissan and they didn't want to do nothing about it. Outrageous diagnostic fee also. $105 just to plug in a obd reader. You can buy your own obd reader for that price. Or just go to your local auto store and get it checked for free!!! not happy. Nissan also sounded like they didn't want to deal with me since I don't bring my car to Nissan for oil changes/repairs.

2004 Nissan Altima engine shuts down while on the run due to faulty crank position sensor and cam shaft sensor. I fixed crank sensor 2 years back after a death incident on the highway and it happened again last month. This time its the sensor next to the other. The cam sensor. According to the dealer this is a common problem in 2002 to 2008 Altimas and sentras. And Nissan continue to make faulty cheap sensors to put thousands of people at risk and not even cared about having a recall.
