NHTSA Complaint #10243329 — 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA

MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA STARTED STALLING AT LOW SPEEDS AND THE ENGINE BEGAN JUMPING AT ACCELERATION. APPARENTLY, I HAD A RECALL ON THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THORNHILL NISSAN IN FORT WORTH, TEXAS AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPROGRAM THE ECM. THE NEXT DAY THE SEL CAME ON AND THE CAR STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN WITH ITS PROBLEMS. WHEN I CALLED DALENE VASQUEZ AT THORNHILL NISSAN SHE STATED THAT THE SENSOR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME $200 TO REPLACE. THROUGH MY OWN INDEPENDENT RESEARCH I FIND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM SINCE THEIR 2002 MODELS AND THEY WON'T REPLACE THE $40 SENSOR. *TR
