My 2005 Nissan Altima shut off in the middle of traffic this morning almost causing me and my car to be smash by an 18 wheeler, and when I turn it back on and gave it gas it would not move. So I turn it off and back on a few times and I was finally able to drive to work. This has happen a few other times before, the first time it happen I took it to a dealer and they said there was a recall on my car that needed to be fixed, I left the car there for 3 days and the recall was supposedly the problem was fixed, but later the exact same thing happen again, luckily I was in a parking lot and a auto zone was near, so I got the guy to hook it up to his machine to check for codes and the problem that was supposedly fixed with the recall was one of the things that was problematic in my car. So I took it to Nissan again and told them I am have the exact same problem again and they tell me it's not the same problem and that I would have to pay over 800 dollars to get it fixed and that if I didn't the engine would just eventually die. This time I'm not going to Nissan, because it's kind of pointless, I don't have 800 dollars to spend on a problem that is cause by something they were suppose to fix and didn't. I don't a few searches on the internet and there are other people who have had this exact same problem and had to come out of their pockets. I'm just wondering to people have to die for them to recall the car for the actual problem? or maybe people have died and the accident was blamed on something else. The recall that was supposed to fix my problem is NHTSA campaign id number: 07v527000.

November 14 2007653,910 vehicles recalled 2005 Nissan Altima -- on certain passenger vehicles equipped with a 2. 5l engine, the crankshaft position sensor can overheat causing a brief interruption in the signal output from the sensor. If the interruption in the signal from the crankshaft position 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. Dealers will reprogram the ecm free of charge. Certain my 2006 Altimas which have been previously remedied under recall campaign 06v223 (Nissan r0606) are not included in this recall since the reprogramming for 06v223 also included this reprogramming. The recall began on December 31, 2007. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

My 2005 Nissan Altima goes dead in traffic, often.

I am the owner of a 2005 Nissan Altima 2. 5s and I am having problems with my engine going dead while traveling on the interstate highway. There is no set speed this happens, the car just drops power and cuts off. I travel 110 miles a day round trip and it happens at least three times a day. Nissan has informed me since there is no error code in the ecm there is nothing they can do. I have been told basically its my problem. In researching the internet there appears to be many owners experiencing the same problem.

On three separate occasions, my vehicle has cut off on me. I have taken the car to the dealership two of the three times. The first time, it cut off as I prepared to accelerate after stopping at a traffic light. The dealership could not get a problem reading from the computer. The second time, I was slowing down to go around a curve in the highway and the car did not respond when I attempted to accelerate. It sputtered and cut off. Fortunately, there were no other cars behind me, as it was only a two lane highway and it was late at night. I was able to pull over to the shoulder and restart the car. The information about the recall came out shortly after, however morris Nissan refused to repair my car without me paying for the repair, as they stated that they had not gotten authorization from Nissan yet on the recall and could not do it free of charge. The third time was just today as, once again, I was accelerating from a stop.

Car just stops sometimes and it will not start. Consumer almost has to flood the engine before it starts. Dealer told consumer she needed to pump the gas 3 times before she started the car. She had vehicle in the repair shop because the car was idling very fast. They put a throttle chamber in it, then it started to do the same thing again . Dealer said it was unsafe because it was racing too high; they ordered a new part for the car. It is still doing the same thing. Updated 02/07/06.
