1 Blown Head Gasket problem of the 2005 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 06/23/2014

The car started hesitating while driving and the head gasket was blown due to the pre cat system clogging up this is a very high cost repair for this vehicle and all these vehicles should be repaired at Nissan cost due to the amount of vehicles this has happened to and there being class action law suites over it. This is their fault not mine why should I be responsible for this cost when it has happened to numerous 05 Altima. They should man up and fix this issue. I have owned 3 other Nissan vehicles with no problems besides maintenance, but this is the last Nissan I will ever own, I was going to get an infinity but since Nissan makes those I will not be purchasing one of those either and will research before I purchase any vehicle to make sure Nissan doesn't have anything to do with the vehicle name. I'm done with Nissan and would not recommend anyone to purchase one they do not stand behind their name anymore. Also the vehicle has always been services at a Nissan dealership.

2 Blown Head Gasket problem of the 2006 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 04/25/2013

Check engine light came on about 2 days prior to incident. Went to a friends house, while slowing down for a speed bump car completely shut off. After leaving house car acceleration was very hesitate, took it to advanced auto to get the codes read on the car and it came back p0345 camshaft position sensor malfunction and p0430 catalytic converter failure and cylinder 3 misfire. So I called Nissan because I went online reading about recalls on the 2006 Nissan Altima engines but they told me that mines was not one of them. Changed both camshaft sensors and cylinder 3 coil. And car still acting like it doesn't want to start and stall. Took it to my mechanic and the way it looks I might have a head gasket blown. Crazy because researching on the internet, I see a lot of Altima owners are having the same problem.
