NHTSA Complaint #10313777 — 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA

ON THE 2005 NISSAN ULTIMA 2.5 LITER ENGINES THE CRANK SHAFT POSITIONING SENSOR FAILS PREMATURELY RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER TO THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE STALLS OUT AT SPEEDS ABOVE 65 MPH PLACING THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN GRAVE DANGER OF A REAR END COLLISION WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE DEATH OR INJURY TO THE OCCUPANTS. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY ON INTERSTATE 65 WITH A HUGE POPULATION OF TRACTOR TRAILERS MOVING NORTH AND SOUTH ON I65. NISSAN HAS FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGED THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I CHALLENGE YOU TO CONDUCT A GOOGLE SEARCH AND FIND NUMEROUS CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE. MANY CONSUMERS HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN BUT IT APPEARS THEY ARE UNWILLING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS POTENTIAL DEADLY SAFETY ISSUE. I WOULD ASK YOU ASTHE AGENCY RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY TO FORCE NISSAN TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND MAKE THIS A MANDATORY RECALL. ITS UNFORTUNATE NISSAN IS PLAYING THE SAME GAME AS TOYOTA AND SOMEONE MUST ACT ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE NOW BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED!!! *TR
