NHTSA Complaint #10520036 — 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA

6/08 - CAR LURCHED AND TRIED TO STALL ON INTERSTATE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO MECHANIC'S SHOP. ISSUE WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR BY MECHANIC, AND PART WAS REPLACED WITH AN OEM PART BUT THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM SO THE SENSOR WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH THE SENSOR THAT WAS PULLED OUT. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO DEALERSHIP FROM MECHANIC'S SHOP ON 6/15 (YES, HE HAD THE CAR FOR A WEEK). ISSUE WAS DETERMINED TO BE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, WHICH WAS REPLACED. ONE DAY AND 20 MILES LATER THE PROBLEM HAS MANIFESTED ITSELF...CHECK ENGINE CAME ON AND CAR DOES NOT WANT TO START. THIS SENSOR WAS PART OF A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR 2006 ALTIMAS BUT I WAS TOLD MY CAR (WHEN CHECKING VIN) WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. *TR
