general problems of the 2006 Nissan Altima - part 2

My car engine stoped working and just finding out so did my cousins on her Nissan Altima. . . Are there any recalls. . . Katrina chatman 132 highshire CT. Baltimore,MD. 21222 . . . 410-282-5225 or 443-615-9272. . Ssn 212866181.

The crankshaft position sensor is malfunctional. Upon research, it was discovered other owners of the same vehicle experienced the same problem. It appears the issue could be fatal and lead to serious crashes as the failed part may cause the vehicle to stop abruptly and shut off the engine. There has been a Nissan recall related to the problematic part. However, the recall only fixed the engine control module by reprogramming it. The recall did not resolve the fundamental problem that is the crankshaft position sensor.

Crank shaft position sensor had to be replaced due to engine not starting at times, and cutting out at stop lights which was a safety issue in traffic. After talking with Nissan I was informed that this VIN number was not included jn campaign number 07v5727000 and I feel it should have been. This part was replaced by a private auto repair in October 2014 for a total of $250. 09. I had purchased the car in April of 2014 from a Toyota used car dealership and started experiencing the problem shortly thereafter. Please help me recover my money for repairs.

Driving on dry road at speed engine suddenly stopped. Pulled over to side and before car fully stopped put into neutral and engine restarted. Then placed back in drive and continued 50 miles with no further problem that day. On 12/15 while on interstate the engine stopped again with much more danger as traffic was coming up on our rear. Managed to get into breakdown lane and while going 15/20 mph placed the transmission into neutral and engine restarted and proceeded 50 miles to home. Brought into Nissan dealer on 12/18 and they claimed they checked it out and could find no problems. Nissan customer service opened a case #[xxx] but has not returned calls after the Nissan dealer diagnostics. The car is a danger to ourselves and others but it is our only vehicle.

Nissan says car does not fall under recall for p0335 and p0425 engine light codes! crank and cam shaft sensors had to get both replaced $151. 68 and $218. 00! I am not happy.

I own a 2006 Nissan Altima ser. I have had the motor replaced and the entire clutch kit and slave cylinder replaced. After having the clutch parts replaced the pedal stuck to the floor a small handful of times. Now, it is nearly a daily occurrence and it is consistently lasting longer and longer each time. It still allows for sporadic shifting in non specific gears while the pedal is on the floor. I can pick up the pedal with my foot and put it back in place but when it apply any pressure it falls back to the floor and stays there until I pick it back up with my foot. This issue has nearly caused to be in several accidents, all of which I narrowly avoided by quickly maneuvering my vehicle off the road.

I was driving at approx 25 mph when all of a sudden the engine cutoff with no warning. Was able to coast the car to the side of the road, restart, and drove to dealership immediately. Dealership diagnosis error code p0335 camshaft and crankshaft sensor failures and needed to be replaced for $570 (plus the $110 diagnosis fee). A recall exists for same make and model, but car VIN is excluded. This problem seems to be very common and widespread after doing some online research. The dealership's parts manager also stated this was a very common problem. I find it very disturbing that Nissan would knowingly risk passenger safety by not recalling and covering the cost of repair for a well maintained car that is having the same issue as others in the same make and model year.

I had a recall on my 2006 Nissan Altima 2. 5l & I took it to the dealer in 2010 because the car engine will shut off when driven. It occurred multiple times & several times it occurred on a highway going at 60 miles per hours. I took it in to the dealer & the changed the part because of the recall. After battling for month to get my money back form the dealer the problem is occurring again. In 2012. I tried to trade it in but they under valued my car because of the recall history at $2,500. I need help & Nissan is refusing to pay full trade value on a recall. All I want is the problem fix permanently instead of having this ongoing problems. Nissan is not taking my concern seriously & I am getting rob on a problem that is not my fault.

My vehicle is having trouble when starting and I had a scan code done by auto zone which said it was the crankshaft position sensor. I saw there was a recall for 2006 Nissan Altima for this problem so I went to the dealer to inquire about the recall and they stated there was no recall.

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Altima. The contact stated while driving 70 mph, the vehicle decelerated independently and would not respond to acceleration attempts. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that they had to replace the crank shaft. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 81,000 and the current mileage 82,000. The VIN was not available.

After driving for 30-40 minutes at interstate speed and stopping at exit the engine would rattle. Took it to the dealer several times and paid for a couple of the suggested repairs, we decided to research it and take it to a shop for repairs. The timing chains and guides all needed replacing. This should be a recall.

While I was driving the "service engine soon" light came on & stayed on then my car became sluggish & I pulled to the side of the road & it cut off, it wouldn't start after trying to restart it 4 or 5 times, then it started back up & I began to drive & the car jerked then became sluggish once again & cut off, "service engine soon" light remained on.

I have a 2006 Nissan Altima and I can only go about 800 miles per quart of oil. Is there a way to get this resolved and have Nissan fix this problem? thank you.

Experienced a violent shake 03/25/2012 while driving. Had it checked by a dealer 03/27/2012. Multi-point inspection, power steering system flush, auto transmission fluid service, and premium fuel service completed 03/27/2012. The engine died while driving on 4/11/2012. On 4/12/2012, dealer says loss of compression, and suggested an engine rebuild.

Crankshaft position sensor signal.

This 2006 nisaan Altima is experiencing the exact same malfunctions as in previous recalls. The crank sensor is causing the car to abruptly stop running if driven at low speed. Incident almost occured on PA turnpike during am rush hour traffic and finally stopped at a traffic light in a residential area in mid-day. I had to put caution lights on immediately and hope that I didn't cause an accident. Please re investigate this matter. It is such a major concern and needs immediate attention once again I see. Thanks so much!.

On sept 3rd 2010 (labor day weekend), I drove on I-17 (az) at about 70 mph for about half an hour. The car suddenly lost the acceleration. No matter how hard I pressed the gas pedal, there is no acceleration. The engine service light was on and the car quickly decelerate. I had to turn on emergency light and moved out. Then I went to autozone and had the code read. P2138, error with pedal position sensor and throttle position sensor. I had to drive locally to send the car to the power Nissan at tempe (dealer) for repair. They could not find problems but turned off the engine light and returned the car to me. On July 4th 2013 (independence day), I drove on highway 87 at about 70 mph for 1 hour and the same problem occurred. The car suddenly lost acceleration. Engine service light was on. I had to drive back at no more than 40mph or the deceleration occurred at higher speed. I went to autozone again for code reading. Same code p2138. Then I sent the car to sears. Sears replaced gas pedal sensor and throttle body. On September 1st 2013 (labor day weekend), I drove on highway 101 at 70mph for 1 hour and the same problem occurred. The car suddenly lost acceleration. Engine service light was on. Sears got the same error code p2138. Sears re-trained the electronic sensor program. On September 10th 2013, I sent the car for emission test. During the test when technician press gas pedal, engine service light was on. Sears got the same error code p2138. Sears asked me to send the car to Nissan dealer. Nissan dealer (the same dealer but name changed to autonation Nissan at tempe) got the same code p2138. Nissan dealer re-trained the electronic sensor program and returned the car to me on September 12th 2013. On September 13th 2013, I tried the car on highway. Once it reached 70mph, the problem occurred for the 5th time. The car lost acceleration and engine service light was on.

Heard loud rattling in front end of my Nissan Altima (2006). Took it to Nissan. Had to have upper motor mount replaced. Not covered by Nissan. Cost was $395. 00 to replace.

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. After several attempts, he was able to start the vehicle within fifteen minutes. The vehicle was diagnosed and the failure codes revealed that the crank shaft position sensor was malfunctioning. The dealer was contacted and they advised him that the vehicle was not recalled and would provide no further assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

Right engine mount broken at 66k miles.

On my 2006 Nissan Altima with 2. 5 liter engine, it would stop running at highway speeds from 70mph down to 5mph (in rush hour stop/go traffic). It also would intermittently fail to start properly by cranking for up to 45 seconds before start. This occurred over a period of 3 months and became worse quickly, with "service engine soon" on, so I took it to the dealership (grubbs Nissan, bedford, TX) where they diagnosed it as a faulty crankshaft position sensor (cps) so they replaced it for $204. 34 total. This cps is an ongoing problem that Nissan says my vehicle is not part of the recall # 07v527000; there are over 650k vehicles that are potentially affected and I know my issue is directly related to the problems with this vehicle. New sensor is in; old part is not available.

My brand new 2006 Nissan Altima 2. 5s consumes oil little by little. First noticed around 35,000 miles until present. I add oil after 1,500 miles around 100-150ml. I do my oil changes 100-200miles before it's due of 3,000 miles from the very beginning, took a good care of the car and now I'm getting this kind of trouble. I've no doubt I got a defective unit.

2006 Nissan Altima; engine style is the 2. 5l apparently there was a recall on this car; all dealing with the crankshaft position sensor; I was unaware of this; and now am stuck with footing the bill of a diagnostic and then the labor and parts fee. Nissan the dealership is not helping me at all and making me pay for this; not only that; but they are completely ignoring the issue at hand and not taking care of me; although I have purchased 2 vehicles from this particular location. I find it hard to believe that first I wasn't notified of the recall that happened in 2006 and second that I now have to pay for the mistake that they clearly made while others did not.

Excessive oil in crankshaft position sensor causing engine to stop running without warning. It almost caused an accident.

Defective crankshaft sensor.

Recall id# 6827 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. Had ecm reprogrammed and my crankshaft position sensor is still overheating. Nissan should replace the sensor if the reprogramming does not work.

Had to replace engine on Nissan Altima 06 with only 33,000 mi dealer would not give the reason why. Front struts needs replacing after 39,000. Also replace transmission seal@39,000mi.

I purchased a brand new 2006 Nissan Altima on January 10th 2007 it only had 30 miles on it, I loved the car had minor problems with noise etc, had the oil changed on time through the dealer I never received any notice about the recall? a car pulled out in front of my car so my front end hit the side of his car and my car instantly caught on fire? the police/fire dept can not figure out why it caught on fire because my car was traveling the speed limit which was 35 mph? they think something was wrong with my car and that I should look into a recall or defect on the vehicle I wished I had known about the oil recall because maybe this is why my car caught on fire it is a total loss I have no car and now am fighting with the insurance companies to get a new car I do not want a Nissan Altima and this car was my wish car I really liked the Altimas?.

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Altima. While driving approximately 10 mph, when the vehicle idled between 750 to 1000 and the brakes are engaged, there was a noise present in the engine. The dealer replaced the motor mount; however, the failure occurred immediately after it was repaired. The dealer stated that the part may need time to adjust. An appointment was rescheduled to diagnose the failure on January 7, 2008. The dealer stated that they would not have any idea what to look for. The failure mileage was 32000 and the current mileage was 43000.

2006 Nissan Altima. Consumer is seeking reimbursement for an extended warranty she purchased. Contacts vehicle was included in a recall for engine fire in which Nissan provided an extended warranty for precautionary measures.

- the contact owns a 2006 Nissan Altima. The contact received recall 06v223000 , and she did not t feel safe driving the vehicle. The notice stated that the vehicle could possibly catch on fire. She didn't care what was fixed on the vehicle. The owner purchased the vehicle in March 2006 ,and was informed of the recall in April 2006. The dealer and the manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not affected by the notice due to the VIN. However, the contact received the recall notice on 2/23/07 the current mileage was 13,000.

- the contact stated that there had been no failure to date with the 2006 Nissan Altima. The contact complained that there was an engine recall on the vehicle, and she thought it should not be. The vehicle was new, and the contact believed that there shouldn't be any failures with it so soon. The current mileage was 9025.

Recommended fix for the 2006 nissam Altima potential engine fire is to update the electronic contol module which will ensure the engine will go into limp mode in the event the oil levle drops to an unacceptable level. If the car goes in limp mode the engine rpms will not exceed 1800 rpms, this restriction will prevent the car from traveling more than 25 mph. If the vehicle goes into limp mode while traveling on a highway, the driver and passengers are put into a dangerous situation. Why is it acceptable for a car manufacturer to propose and institure a fix to a vehicle that compromises personal safety, and what recourse does the consumer have related to the proposed corrective action?.

I received a letter asking me to bring my car for the engine recall on my '06 Nissan Altima. Unfortunately my vehicle was affected, if I didn't proceed with the recall request my vehicle could lead to an engine fire.
