Automatic Transmission Control Module problems of the 2005 Nissan Altima

Vehicle briefly shut down while driving beginning 2014, like a hick-up, interruption of power. However it would continue. No real problems at first. Then, began to completely power off, difficult to restart and I'd lose auto transmission function and have to manually shift which bucked every gear. Park it for a while, restart and it'd drive just fine until the engine was warm then it'd power off. . . All over again. . Mechanic stated it was the tcm. Replaced it, service engine light went off, seemed fine. Now it's stalling and same issues with tranny. Now pulling a camshaft sensor code. Ugh! I bought this car used in 2014 and it's only been drivable for 3 months. The biggest pain in my a$$. $houldve bought a horse instead. Nissan you manufacture shit poor products knowingly and hide!!.

Transmission control module; vehicle suddenly has an unexpected loss of power on highway and will not change gears. Camshaft sensors; sudden loss of power traveling at high rate of speed, unexpected stalling or engine to shut down and not restart. Both very dangerous because you almost get run over by the vehicle behind you. They come up on you too fast, continuing their normal highway speeds not realizing your vehicles loss of power until theyre right up on you then have to either slam on their brakes or make sudden lane change without properly signaling warning other drivers. Timing chain guide and timing chain tensioners; wear out prematurely causing loosening of the timing chain, makes a very loud clanking or ticking sound asbit hits the guide and can cause damage to the engine. Struts mounts; corrode and wear out creating a rough and unstable steering control and clanking sound as the struts hit when driving over uneven roadways, cracks, driveways and speed bumps. Makes it more difficult to steer cause the vibration and rattling in the front end. This occurs in the 3. 5 liter engine. There has already been service bulletins and recalls on the 2. 5 liter engine but not 3. 5. The issues are the same for both engines. The same parts/manufacturers are used on both yet the 3. 5 liter wasnt included. Problems are ongoing daily. Its very unsafe.

An existing recall on this vehicle should include the 3. 5l engine as well as camshaft/crankshaft and tcm. All cause similar life-threatening symptoms while driving the vehicle suddenly powers completely off briefly losing all power to lights etc, decelerate rapidly and you lose steering control and speed control. Vehicles come up on you quickly at night and even if you get the vehicle restarted you have no power in transmission and merely limp on at an idle speed. Very very dangerous. Why it wasn't included in the original 2007 recall is Nissan trying to save a buck. They used the same mfg & same parts as in the 2. 5l. They knowingly withheld it from being included. I also contacted them about the tcm. Keep in mind the were biting their nails after being presented with a class action suite regarding the defective tcm. Luckily for them it was dismissed temporarily. But they never mentioned any similar complaints when they responded to me and never offered any resolution to the problem.
