Was leaving store and when pulled out onto road, I was involved in a crash! left the scene and then was taken by private vehicle to local emergency room and from there, airlifted with brain injury! was almost across the road and vehicle stalled and wouldn't accelerate and stalled and caused a horrible accident. The vehicle that hit me got me in passenger rear as he was traveling up highway and threw me and went air borne and knocked a telephone pole in half and done damage to front as well. Air bags didn't deflate at all. I am making attempt to make Nissan aware and opportunity to make right. I have researched what could cause this and recalls are effective while I'm going to state unknown to cause, as there are several reasons on forum as to what could cause this. Takata recall for air bags but unknown on other.

I went out to my car and all the sudden it would crank but not start. This began happening on a regular occasion. As I did research, I read it is most likely the crankshaft positioning sensor. It states if your car was recalled and the ecm was adjusted already, the company does not cover the issue. However, from what im reading, this is an ongoing issue with peoples vehicles. This is obviously an issue with the sensors that Nissan's original adjustment did not fix. I also read where the car will begin to stall in traffic possibly causing an accident.

Handling of the Nissan Altima crank shaft sensor recall is completely unacceptable. No notice of the recall was ever sent, which meant we found out the hard way: when the car stalled out in the middle of a major highway, without warning (exactly as described in the recall that wasn't sent) I only found the recall after a local non-Nissan mechanic told me about it, and then when I brought it into the dealer, they didn't understand the nature of the recall. Please help!.

Morning 6 am while driving to airport all of sudden some thing cause the car to stall randomly while driving.

I have a 2006 Nissan Altima that had been working fine up until yesterday. When I was driving to work yesterday, my car just stalled at a stoplight and then it was incredibly difficult to get it restarted. Thereafter, my car would stall at every stoplight and stop sign. The drivers that were behind me were clearly upset and frustrated and one driver almost rear ended me. I took my car to autozone so they could hook it up to their analysis computer and they stated that it was my crank shaft sensor. I am requesting that you look into this matter because a car that just stalls for no other reason than a faulty sensor is unacceptable. In addition, I did a web search and found that may people are having a problem with the same sensor.

Since 1st occurrence date listed herein through present 11/15/2011, vehicle continues to randomly fail to start & stalls at freeway & surface street speeds and when idling at a stop; I have used an autel maxiscan ms300 can obd-ii scan tool everytime the vehicle has presented these symptoms. Each time the scan has confirmed a "crank shaft position sensor" failure and sometimes includes an "engine speed sensor" failure; I phoned Nissan u. S. A operations and was told by their representative that my vehicle was not included in a recall for these problems; this is obviously a scam by Nissan to not include my VIN based upon the number of complaints for the exact same issues and the VIN's not being included; I plan to sue Nissan for the repairs in small claims court in California if it is not rectified.

Vehicle stalling while in motion usually while slowing to stop or when accelerating after being stopped. Ses light came on today when it stalled and I took it straight to dealership. They stated it was crank and cam sensors. They replaced them and charged me $260. Had to have engine replaced at 19,xxx miles under a recall. Car has 58,7xx miles now and this time I had to pay. Go online and find in excess of 160 consumer reports of this very cam and crank problem and everyone having to pay out of pocket for it when it is clearly a defect especially being that my engine was replaced so the defect is not just in the original engines. Service dept. Made no mention of there being a recall to me but being that I never got the recall notice when I had to have the engine replaced at 19,xxx (and I bought my car new and remained at same residence) I decided to just check online to see if others were having cam and crank problems. Comes a no surprise to see that others are having the same issues. I am mute therefore can't call you guys so I am filing my complaint online. Please note that I entered phone numbers only because I could not advance without doing so. Please send any and all replies via e-mail if speaking to someone who can represent me is an issue.

Just had to replace a faulty crankshaft position sensor on my 2006 Nissan. I see that there were two prior NHTSA campaigns about this part, but apparently my VIN was not covered under them. Appear to be many complaints about this part from vehicles not under original campaigns. Had same issues as others - vehicle would not start and almost stalled several times while driving.

I have a safety issue with my 2006 Nissan Altima 2. 5 se. My vehicle stalls while I am driving. The dealership has told me that the issue is the cam and crankshaft sensors and the reprogramming of my ecs. I noticed that this was a recall on other 2006 Nissan Altima's with 2. 5l engines. However, I am told that my VIN is not included in the recall. Please respond with your findings please.

My daughter has a 2006 Nissan Altima and while driving 3 days ago the car stalled at an intersection while she was about to turn left. She was then stuck in the middle of the road. I arrived and we got the car out of the street. Took it to courtesy Nissan in tampa and was told the problem was the cam and crank sensors. After researching the problem on the internet I found this problem was common and that Nissan has known about it for awhile. There is a recall on the ecm but Nissan told me it didn't cover the sensors. My daughter's car only has 42k miles and it couldn't be from extended wear and tear as suggested. . . Ie other cars with the same complaint had many more miles listed. I am having the sensors replaced but I think it is unfair to consumers that Nissan is selling these cars with this defective problem and are not taking responsibility for the repair. My daughter could have been t-boned sitting in the middle of the road like that.
