Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems of the 2006 Nissan Altima

I was driving 2 weeks ago n I was donig about 45 or 50 when it just shut off by its self no warning or nothing n its costed me lots of money on top of just replacing almost the whole front suspension I was on a city sreet in motion when it just cut off 6.

Wife was coming home from the airport when approaching stop sign the engine shut down without notice. "no brakes or power steering". Vehicle was pushed by city workers into parking area. Later on after the vehicle sat it started and we were able to get it home. Next day I noticed the engine light on! I took the vehicle in to check the codes. Codes indicated it could be the battery or a crank, cam sensor. Battery showed bad. Purchase new battery and assumed everything is okay. I drove the vehicle down to a store and when I pulled into a parking spot it stopped. Later on vehicle started and drove next door to a auto dealership. Dealership ran a diagnostic test indicating internal failure in cam sensor. Code p0340 stored. Vehicle repaired.

Motor shuts down without warning, no brakes or power steering and or after engine has been driven it will not start again until is cools. Nhtsa id07v527000 filed. Individual from Nissan acknowledge he was aware but there is no recall at this time? just hope no one is injured or killed with this type of safety issue. Would you suggest I contact state rep. To inquire at this time?.

I have had the car for 9 years and have been locked out the vehicle, the alternator had to be replaced because the car shut down 1 month ago. The car has been shutting down for 4 yrs when the weather changes. I just discovered a whole in the bottom of the driver side ground. Due to rust there is a whole in the bottom of the car.

While pulling to a stop light, the car engine shut off without warning. I put the car in park, turned off & attempted to restart the car. It wouldn't immediately start. This happens spontaneously in drive-thrus, stoplights and when coming to complete or near complete stops in traffic as well. Most recently I was exiting the interstate exit and the car stopped as a slowed to turn left off the exit, almost resulting in a car rear ending my vehicle at 50 miles per hou. The ses (service engine soon) light is displayed and even after having an oil change and tune up the light is still illuminated, confirming it's an ongoing issue outside of standard maintenance. I've been provided a reference number and dropped the car at Nissan dealership today to diagnose. Im fearful of my safety operating the vehicle at this point.

While at a red light, the power on my 2006 Nissan Altima shut off without warning. After trying to turn over the ignition several times, the vehicle finally started. I drove it to advance auto where they ran a diagnostic and advised that there were two error codes: p0725 & p0335 (engine speed sensor circuit malfunction & crank shaft position sensor circuit malfunction). Upon calling my mechanic,he advised that this has been a typical problem for this model and that he believed there was a recall. I called and have been advised by Nissan that there was a recall but my VIN wasn't part of the recall. However, Nissan was unable to provide which vehicles were actually part of the recall! there are many unresolved complaints regarding this issue, and I believe that this is a seriously dangerous hazard for drivers. What if the vehicle stopped on an interstate highway while driving at 65 mph? I would like verifiable information on what vehicles this recall covered, as Nissan seems to be deflecting some of their responsibility.

Vehicle shut off in traffic. Was able to start back up and went to park. Hood of vehicle was extremely hot. Multiple times since then I have had issues starting car after having driven it. Car cranks fine in the morning. I have had to leave hood open when I get home to allow engine to cool. Car will start fine again after an hour or two but sometimes taking up to 5 hours. I can feel when the car is about ready to give out as it doesn't accelerate when gas is pushed until you get around 45mph. I have even felt car pull/jerk forward when in stop and go traffic when I let up brake a little bit. I have to keep a good distance from cars ahead of me to ensure I wont hit anyone if it pulls forward.

My vehicle kept shutting down on me while driving or sitting in traffic/or at a light it would just shut down. Went online Nissan recall read some of the cases about the crankshaft sensor and realized this was the same thing happening to me. Took it to sheridan Nissan dupont highway in new castle, delaware. They stated my vehicle was not part of the recall even though I was experiencing the same problems as the recall was issued for, I was told my VIN# was not included in the recall, therefore I had to pay the cost of repairs to replace the sensor total out of pocket for me was $375. 00. I still have my receipt. If Nissan was aware of the problem and I understand they were, why would they not include all VIN#, a few times I was almost hit by other cars because my car would shut down, I want to know what resolution or relief I can receive from this matter.

While driving on the i95 the car shut off and would not restart at 55mph. Thank god, I did not get into an accident and was able to coast over to the guardrail. I had to have my car towed to my mechanic that informed me it appeared to be the crankshaft sensor and said since it was a recall item I should have it brought to my local Nissan dealer. I had the car towed to miller Nissan in fairfield CT and informed them of my mechanics findings. They checked the car and told me it was the fuel pump and replaced it even with me expressing that my current mechanic already checked that. After replacing the fuel pump they called me back and said it still wasn't working. It ended up being the ecm along with another sensor!! I expressed how upset I was that this sensor failed why I was driving at a high speed on the highway! I am currently working with Nissan corporate recall department because everything I'm reading is still indicating that the crankshaft sensor could cause malfunctions in other sensors in the car!! I'm not happy that Nissan is charging me for the new fuel pump they installed along with the sensors totaling $1,943,00!!.

Subject crank position sensor. Subject car 2006 Nissan Altima 2. 5. Recall was received about the same time the car started dying while driving. When traveling at low speeds the engine will die causing a very dangerous situation when the car looses power and power steering stalling in the middle of the road. When traveling at freeway speeds the engine shuts off, the car looses power for approximately 3 seconds then violently jerks regaining power. Nissan dealer has stated that this is an ecm problem and that a reprogram will fix this problem. I took the car into the dealer and the reprogram of the ecm was completed. Now the car dies more frequently and now it takes considerable cranking to start the car when warm. Approximately 2 min. To restart. Nissan has tried to "band aid" a faulty crank position sensor with an ecm reprogram that is not working. The car abruptly dying is a very dangerous situation and can easily lead to uncalled for injuries and deaths stemming from this faulty sensor. I agree that the upgraded ecm program should read both the cam position sensor and crank position sensor in tandem as a redundant feature but if the problem is with a leaky sensor or a bad solder joint in the sensor, the sensor should be replaced under a recall.

Engine shut off going between 60-70 mph while attempting to pass 18 wheeler on 3 lane interstate 35. Had headlight replaced 4 days before incident and was advised about a recall, choose to have the recall work done at that time also. Service advisor claimed that the recall had nothing to do with the malfunction, said they had trouble getting the car started and noted something about the rpm's, said they test drove the car and it hasn't stalled. Said they know it has a problem but they haven't been able to replicate it. Today is 04-30-08, the car has been at the dealership since 04-19-08. Service advisor stopped calling on 04-24-07. Have complained to Nissan consumer affairs who finally returned my call today stating that they talked to the dealership 3 times total and they claim that nothing is wrong with the car, that they test drove it 90 miles and cleared something from the air intake. The dealership never told me this story and stopped calling me on 04-24-07. When I asked the consumer affairs lady if she would load up her kids in the car and go down the interstate during heavy traffic? she hesitated and said yes she would.
