TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT ASSIST OR ASSUME LIABILITY FOR ANY REPAIRS. THERE WERE RECALLS LISTED FOR THE SAME FAILURES FOR PREVIOUS YEAR VEHICLES (SAME MAKE AND MODEL), BUT NONE FOR THE 2005 ALTIMA. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF MORE THAN $200. THE REPAIR WOULD HAVE TO BE MADE AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. SHE WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FAILURE COULD LEAD TO A CRASH. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 97,000.
