Consumer Description

MY 2003 ALTIMA 2.5S STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS THE DAY I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A RECALL TO REPROGRAM THE ECM. THAT NIGHT MY ENGINE BOGGED DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS MASHED TO THE FLOOR. THE NEXT DAY I CALLED THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPT. AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO WAY THEIR REPROGRAM COULD HAVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I NOTICED THAT WHEN I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON AFTER ABOUT 5 SECONDS THE ENGINE WOULD RUN FINE, THIS BY THE WAY IS GOING DOWN THE ROAD WITH THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TURNING OFF AND BACK ON. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR A WHILE AND MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND SAYS THERE IS A CAMSHAFT AND CRANKSHAFT SENSOR PROBLEM THAT IS RECALLED ON 2002 2.5S ALTIMAS. IT CAME TO A HEAD THE OTHER DAY WHEN I WAS TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND IT BOGGED DOWN ON ME WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND ABOUT GETTING ME AND MY KIDS KILLED. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS SAME THING ON NISSAN FORUMS. *TR
