Car Stall problems of the 2004 Nissan Altima

Car was stalling 2 days ago shut it off and drove away just fine not even 4 hours later my fiance was driving the car home he came up around a hill /bend on a city street the car locked up on him along with the oiil brake and battery light the breaks wouldn't do anything car wouldn't stop he ended up going head on into a tree in the neighbors yard. Car is completely totalled. There was a malfunction in the car somewhere and I believe the security of the car or the ecm is what locked it up on him there was no steering in the car as well. No recalls pop up with my VIN # but I am suspected to believe there was something wrong internally. It was at 240,700 miles. He was expectidly only going 30 miles an hour but with the pictures im attaching it seems like the computer toom over the speed control.

Car intermittently stalls with out warning, Nissan is well aware of the problem but seems to want the repair revenue more that correcting the problem.

Car stalled several times while traveling at low speed. Lost power steering and brakes. Car's dtc code said the fault was caused by the crankshaft position sensor. This 2004 Altima had been to dealer for the computer software recall.

2004 Nissan Altima 2. 5s. Car stalls and bucks while driving at high speeds. Could have caused a major accident.

All dash lights came on and vehicle stalled while driving. Vehicle would not start back up, waited 10 minutes and it finally started back up. Drove 1 block and the same thing happened, dash lights came on, car stalled while driving. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership where they informed me that it was a faulty cam and crank sensor and it was $258 to replace it. After researching this problem, I found that the same part, cam and crank sensor, was recalled on prior and later Altima models, but 2004 models were excluded. The same problem has been repeated over and over on safecar. Gov as well as numerous other websites. I contacted the dealership where I purchased the vehicle and where I took it to be repaired and notified them of the seemingly consistent problem with this part on the Altimas and they directed me to Nissan. I contacted Nissan directly and my file was escalated to the regional manager who requested that I fax him the invoice receipt for payment and my vehicle registration and he would have it reviewed to see if it qualified for reimbursement. He telephoned me 2 days later and informed me that I did not meet the qualification for reimbursement. This is a faulty part and many, many 2004 Nissan Altima owners have experienced problems with. Not placing a recall on this part is putting many lives in danger as the car stalls while driving and you have no control over it whatsoever. Even the power steering goes out and you cannot steer the car away from traffic. This is a very serious problem and needs to be addressed. The owners of these vehicles should not be responsible for paying to replace a part that is faulty and could cause a serious accident.

While driving my 2004 2. 5 litre Nissan Altima on highway about 60 mph I felt an abrupt jerk like noise in the transmission, almost even like a misfire of some sort. All I know is that it was odd and did not seem right. Immediately following, my "service engine soon" light illuminated and has stayed on. While my car did not stall or immediately shut down, it was hard to crank after shutting down. I had difficulty climbing hills as the car lacked the power and difficulty shifting down. In troubleshooting this problem, I immediately checked the gas cap. This did not solve my problem. I took it into the mechanic. He has had my car for two days. He found the problem to be the crankshaft sensor and he said it was difficult to get to for repair as well as having problems removing it. I have yet to receive a bill for this repair but with the labor involved to remove this sensor, it won't be cheap. Why on earth are manufacturers putting parts into places that are difficult and costly to repair. Not only that, but the average "joe" who likes to work on his own car, can't even do this one! now, the other ludicrous problem is that Nissan appears to not have included the 2004 Nissan 2. 5 Altima in the "recall" campaign for this faulty sensor. That spells a class action lawsuit and complaints to my attorney general and better business bureau. There is no way, that I or anyone having bought a 2004 Nissan 2. 5 Altima should have to bear the burden of costs involved into this ongoing issue with the crankshaft sensors.

On 10/11/2007 I retrieved my vehicle for sheehy Nissan and was told by alan shurkin the issue with the ecm reprogramming had been corrected. About 20 mins after leaving sheehy Nissan lot my car again stalled and stopped running. On 10/14/2007 I called alan shurkin @ sheehy Nissan and told him that my vehicle was having the same problem and I thought that it was due to the recall I was told by alan that it would be a service charge to repair it again. I have been driving this vehicle for about three weeks now with the consist stop and go routine. I was advised by a friend to call Nissan north America back letting them know what my problem was. On 11/6/2007 I placed a call to Nissan north America. I expressed my concerns with the rep who took my call she did a little research and stated to me that it seemed the issue I was still having was pertaining to the recall for the ecm and that she need to forward me to a regional research rep. I was forwarding to the regional research rep who stated to me that they had to look in to the problem further and that someone would be in contact with me within 24 hours.

In the summer of 2007 my car was stalling when coming to a complete stop or when slowing down. I brought my car into Nissan dealership and they advised the problem I was having is part of a recall and reprogrammed the ecm. The night I picked my car up I was still having the stalling issue. I brought the car back into the dealer and they replaced the camshaft sensor. I would like to make the complaint that 1) I never received a recall notice for the ecm. 2) my car stalled in oncoming traffic luckily not involved in a crash. 3)why was this problem not found when I originally brought the car in to be fixed 4) knowing this is an ongoing issue with both the crankshaft and camshaft sensor in Nissans why is the camshaft not covered under a recall campaign. 5) it cost me almost $300 to replace a part that cost less than $40.

My 2004 Nissan Altima is stalling at red lights and while I am driving. This could cause and accident since it happens without warning. I have taken the car in to the Nissan dealership numerous times for repair. This problem did not occur with my car until the recall work for the ecm reprogramming was done. But, it has been happening since then. Sometimes multiple times per week. I have paid to have the problem correct more than once, and nothing that has been done has stopped this problem. This is definitely a safety hazard.
