Battery problems of the 2005 Nissan Altima

I have had my car for 2 years and I purchased it at the baker jackson that I am referring to. In August I started to experience problems with the car shutting down with no warnings which is a safety hazard considering I drive mostly on the freeway. I took it into the shop and they claim they did a diagnosis and found that my battery was eroded so they had to cleaned the battery and fuel injection. Well after I paid and picked up my car the same thing happened a day later. To sum it up my car has been to the shop on the following dates 8/21/07,8/27/07,9/18/07 stayed there for days to weeks at a time and the problem is still unresolved. I am a teacher and a recent graduate student so I really don't have much money to be in and out of rental cars and get back a non-functioning car after every visit. The story I get when I speak to them is it runs fine when they drive it and they had it for two weeks at one time. I looked up my car online and many people have been having the same problem. I just want my car fixed so that I can go to work and come home safely with out endangering my life or anyone else. I did a little research on Altima?s 2004 ^ and found that many have been having engine problems and have the same symptoms that I am experiencing. ?on certain passenger vehicles equipped with a 2. 5l engine, a variation in temperature occurs due to the unique location of the sensor in the engine. Under certain driving conditions, these variations in temperature can be large enough to cause a brief interruption in the signal output from the sensor. If the interruption in the signal from the sensor is so brief that the electronic control module (ecm) logic does not have time to diagnose the condition, the engine may stop running without warning while the vehicle is driven at a low speed increasing the risk of a crash. ? could you please help me investigate this so I can get to the bottom of this? I really appreciate you taking the time out to read my story.

Hello in 2006 August, my 2005 brand new Altima's battery exploded and it was a miracle that me and my friend did not get hurt. When I called the dealership they told me warranty doesn't cover the battery. I had to get it towed to a third party shop where they replace my battery fuse (which I was told caused the explosion) and my battery. When I went over the dealership later they told me I should've brought the car over there. They claimed I was lying wheni said I was told by their service department that they don't cover the battery and did not even look at the car. Now, my front bumper is covered in battery acid and is not repairable. I called the custemr service did everything I could but they simply won't do anything because I did not take the car to the dealership which I would if they didn't told me they did not cover the warranty on the phone. I have my receipt of the battery fuse and battery replacements but I do not have access to the old battery. I'm very dissapointed and frustrated by this and don't know what to do. I'm not looking to get any kind of money out of this but I bought this vehicle brand new not to have any problems especially a batter exploding to my and my friends face. Thank you.

New 2005 Altima 3. 5 se bought August 2005 1st month I had noticed a vibration in the steering at high speeds, and the vehicle pulling/drifting from left to right. This concern makes the vehicle unsafe to drive because you do not have a sense of control when driving, in addition when driving on a highway for a long period of time the vibration in the wheel makes your hands and arms fall asleep. It is always necessary after an hour or hour and a half to pull over and give your arms/ hands a rest. The dealer addressed this concern by balancing the wheels by road force balance (corrected specs - 21lbs road force down to 7lbs) no alignment issues were noticed. After 3 tips to the dealership for the vibrations I had noticed a clunk in the front end, it ended up being a strut that needed to be replaced. With the next trip the dealership the vibration in the steering was now evident at all speeds, it was still drifting, and a new "hum" had developed at random times while driving. The dealer unable to verify any of my concerns suggested that I go for a ride with the service manger. After that ride he suggested that I have my tires swapped for new ones of another brand. On my next trip to the dealer they swapped all 4 of my tires for another brand name and re-aligned the front suspension and front end. Throughout the winter the car ran ok other than some electrical problems that would kill my battery and the rear pillar airbags coming out. It was not until the spring that I was forced to bring my car down again for the vibration in the steering wheel and the clunk in the front end. The dealer could not verify any clunk in the front end but agreed that there is again a vibration and remedied the problem by adjusting the steering rack pre-load. Initially the vibration was reduced, but within a month it was back. The service manager admitted that adjusting the steering rack pre-load was only a "temporary fix" a "bandaid for the problem".

The caller's vehicle was accelerating from a stop light going 10 mph when it stalled. She could not get it started ,and had to have it towed to dealer. The battery light and the brake light came on. When she called the manufacturer, she was told she could drive the vehicle. There was no other indication that this was going to happen. Dealer has vehicle now and will call her when they have check it. Manufacturer was contacted and will call her back.
