Service Engine Light On problems of the 2006 Nissan Altima

Car was sputtering at intersections and hard to start. Took to mechanic twice & he could not find anything wrong; said he thought it might be a recall problem; say where there was a problem with the wiring harness on full pump shorting out; part is on national recall; service engine light remained on.

Service engine light came on and we had the vehicle tested to see why? I was informed there was a problem with the crank sensor? this is the 2nd time this vehicle has had this problem. We had the sensor replaced 09/22/2015 due to engine shutting off unexpectedly and we lost power steering and brakes. !.

Service engine light came on, took it in for computer diagnostics & it showed cam shaft sensor alignment. I was driving at the time the light came on.

My car engine shut off periodically while being drive at low speeds and higher oil consumption. The first time occurred on June 6, 2015 while driving across woodyard road to pine view lane from the clinton shopping center. The second time was on Friday June 12, 2015 while driving home from the branch Ave metro parking, with my brother on the way home, while turning off from highway 5 on to surratt’s road, leaving my brother and I dangerously stuck the right side of the off curve with cars going by blowing their horns. The Altima does start back up, but only after a minute or two. No apparent reason why, no warning lights. The car has been consuming more oil than usual and after the first incident, the service engine light came on and does not shut off. A search for recalls revealed in fact that there was a recall issued, 06v-223 on the 2006 Altima, but was not notified or the recall addressed.

While driving my entire vehicle will periodicall jerk. Its done it numerous times since its began. Now the service engine light is on. The paint on my vehicle is also faded and the clear coats has come off. I have seen plenty of other people on forums complaining about the same things. So it appears to me that Nissan is falling down on the job and should be issuing a recall of some sort about these problems. I have two small children and cant afford something catostrophical happening to my vehicle.

While stoped at a red light my car engine shut off. After a while it started again, but the transmision wouldn't shift to lower gears and jerked hard in reverse, and service engine light came on. When I took it to the shop the cam sensor had to be replaced. After doing research, I found this was an issue and a recall on some models but not mine. Why only one model was recalled?.

I was driving on the freeway in texas going 70 miles an hour on cruise control then two unexpecting jerks in the engine happened and loss of speed and the service engine soon light came on.

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while at a dealer for routine service, the technician notified the contact that there was excessive engine oil consumption. The contact had to constantly refill the vehicle with engine oil . In addition, the contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, the vehicle began to shake, the contact pulled over but the vehicle then stalled. The service engine warning light illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle by replacing the battery. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the catalytic converter, air fuel sensor and the oxygen sensor needed to be replaced. However, the vehicle was not diagnosed for the oil leak. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 118,000. Oo.

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact made several attempts to restart the vehicle before the vehicle responded. The vehicle was taken to a repair shop where the mechanic replaced the battery however, the failure recurred. The service engine warning light also illuminated. The vehicle was then taken to dealer who advised that the failure was related to the crankshaft sensor. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign id number: 07v527000 (engine and engine cooling) however, the contact's VIN was not included in the recall campaign. The approximate failure and current mileage was 129,000. Kmj.

My service engine light came on and my vehicle's engine lurched forward, as if it was not getting gas. I made it home without incident. I thought I had purchased bad gas. The next morning my car would not start, it took several times for it to final start. This has happened on several occasions. I ran a scan and the scan said I needed to replace the crankshaft sensor which I did and it did no good. The engine is very hard to start and is consuming a lot of gas. This past weekend the engine started to buck when idling in traffic. I was afraid the engine was going to die and catch fire. I found a previous recall that sounds exactly like mine with the crankshaft sensor. I contacted Nissan about it and they said my engine was not part of the recall. This angered me that they do not take these things seriously enough to include all 2. 5l engines for that year. The recall id # 67703 - engine and engine cooling is the one I'm referring too.

While driving at 55 mph in highway, there was a brief speed interruption without warning. Then service engine soon light was on. I took the vehicle to the local mechanic for a diagnostic test. The test results showed a failure with the crank shaft sensor. The mechanic replaced the crank shaft sensor but the repair did not remedy the issue. It happens only on highway speed.

Under NHTSA id number 07v527000. On 07/20/11 I had a service engine soon light come on. Car was not operating properly, so we took it to ken ganley Nissan for service. This is the same problem that appeared on NHTSA id 07v52700 for the 2. 5 engine crankshaft position sensor. The dealer stated this vehicle was no on the recall list. Since this is the same failure that was to be recalled, why was I charged $315. 22 for repairs? it appears to me that Nissan did not take care of all the recalled vehicles, but picked and chose only certain ones to reduce their expenses. It distorts the purpose of a recall process. Updated 10/20/11.

While driving on interstate 580 in emeryville California in evening rush hour traffic my car began to jerk rapidly and then stopped while in traffic, the service engine light came on, after 5 attempts the car started. This happened numerous times while traveling to work on highway 50 and also while driving on surface streets. This makes me nervous and fearful when driving this vehicle and finally after the stopping multiple times on the interstate and at red lights, I took the car in for a diagnostic test and was advised my crankshaft sensor needed to be replaced and there was a recall per Nissan America for this known issue. I took the car in and was advised my VIN# was part of the recall but the damaged crankshaft sensor would not be replaced, only a reset of the ecm. I was advised that the ecm would not be reset due to the service engine light is on due to the faulty crankshaft sensor. I was also charged for a diagnostic test whicch basically confirmed the problem that service department was already aware of per the VIN#. There are thousands of complaints regarding the 2006 Nissan Altima and a the faulty crankshaft sensor which can cause the vehicle to stop. I am scared to drive on the interstate due to fear that the car will stop and cause a pileup and or even death. I have contacted Nissan America @1 800 647 7261 and they are not cooperative. They are aware of this issue however will not replace the defective crankshaft sensor. Since this is a known issue then I strongly feel that Nissan should take responsibility and replace the defective part. Customers should not fear for their lives when driving and should not have to pay to repair a known defect. I am considering taking legal action against Nissan since they failed to take responsibility and resolve my issue.

I have a 2006 Nissan Altima, on 6/9/2010 the oil light came on and the service engine light came on. When I got home I checked my oil and there was no oil in my engine. I contacted Nissan dealership to tell them of the issue and contacted consumer affairs about it. I was told to bring the vehicle to the dealership to get check out. I purchase 2 quarts of oil on 6/9/2010 in which I still have the receipt for. I put 2 quarts of oil in my vehicle and took it to the dealership on 6/15/2010. I was told that they are running a oil consumption test on it because some of the 2006 Nissan Altimas had a recall for a oil consumption problem due to faulty piston rings which I believe caused my vehicle to have a bad cat converter. I contacted the consumer affairs department to find out if my vehicle was in the recall and I was told no. I truly believe my vehicle is one of the recall vehicle because when I took the vehicle back on 7/7/2010 I was told that it needed a new engine and measured under 20 for the oil consumption test. I would like a investigation to be conducted because Nissan has mislead alot of consumers about their vehicles being in the recall but later after about 80,000 miles after the manufacturer warranty expires then the vehicle starts experience these oil consumption problems, service engine light problems. I was told on 7/7/2010 by the service manager that he will put a claim through to the extended service agreement department to provide me with the necessary repairs which is to give my vehicle a new engine due to the oil consumption problem and I was told that this supposed to be covered under my extended service agreement warranty free of charge. I am awaiting a decision. This is definitely a safety issue because my vehicle could stop in the middle of rush hour traffic and I can be killed instantly along with my family and others. All 2006 Nissan Altima's need to be recalled to be tested for this oil consumption problem due to faulty piston rings.

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that the engine stalled at low speeds and at a traffic light. The service engine light was also illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed of recall 07v527000 (engine and engine cooling) and she was told that her vehicle was not included. The sensor was repaired at the owners expense. The manufacturer offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000. The current mileage was approximately 26,000.

I am filing this complaint to document a service engine soon light coupled with a rapid change in rpm and resulting engine stall. While no crash occurred, with the loss of power steering in the parking lot the vehicle almost impacted another coming in the opposite direction. A diagnostic check was run on the vehicle and showed a crankshaft position sensor circuit malfunction. This vehicle was part of recall campaign 06v223000 and had the engine replaced under warranty at approximately 58,000 miles. Under recall campaign 07v527000 which describes similar symptoms regarding the crankshaft position sensor, those vehicles fixed due to recall campaign 06v223000 are not eligible. However, it is possible that additional contributing factors may lead to the sensor malfunction. The vehicle is scheduled for maintenance to replace the sensor; however, at a cost of $370.

Nissan has admitted via a letter that certain vehicles (mine is one) are subject to high oil consumption and the result could be a fire in the vehicle. Nissan has attempted to correct this changing the oil and filter, promising to monitor the level - subject to another trip to the dealer- at 700 subsequent miles, they will then provide an unknown 'fix' to the issue if the oil level has decreased to their satisfaction, if no noticeable decrease in their perception, then monitor another 700 miles - return to dealer again and have them review, possible fix is to replace the engine at that time. The concern is that when one purchases a new vehicle, if the manufacture knew of the defect and potential hazard, then the sale should not have been allowed. Further, a new vehicle now needs to be monitored and returned to the dealer every 700 miles - I can not think of an example of more inconvenience. The safety hazard of a fire or breaking down - all in a vehicle with 1500 miles on it is incredulous. I can not let my family drive in the car and am concerned with my own safety. A 22000 vehicle that is brand new should not be allowed to be sold and have consumers asked to continue to operate the vehicle. I do hope this is investigated. I understand that a total of 80000 Altimas were affected. I would like to know when the manufacturer was aware of this problem, why it did not stop sales immediately and why the manufacturer will not just fix the issue. I also understand that the vehicles within the VIN range that are on Nissan dealer lots are being sent back to have the engines replaced. Next, a problem at 1500 miles with the transmission occurred. The vehicle experienced problems in shifting and maintain gear. This resulted in the service engine light illuminating and the dealer 'getting a part' to fix it. I would like to know what the issue is with the transmission that had only 1500 miles on it to malfunction.
