NHTSA Complaint #10547375 — 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA

IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREA, 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND IN THE FAR LEFT LANE MOVING ABOUT 45, THE CAR DIES. I CAN NOT GET MY CAR TO START. CARS WERE FLYING ON ALL SIDES OF ME EVEN IN THE TURNING LANE NEXT TO ME ON THE LEFT. I COULD NOT GET OUT OF MY CAR. I CALLED THE POLICE BECAUSE I THOUGHT I COULD BE KILLED. THE POLICE SAID THAT THIS WAS DANGEROUS AND MANAGED TO STOP ALL LANES OF TRAFFIC. THEY BUMPED MY CAR OFF THE ROAD AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. THE TOW TRUCK TOOK ME AND MY CAR TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I HAD TO PAY $634.35 FOR THE TOW TRUCK AND THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR REPLACEMENT. NO RECALL. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH NISSAN CUSTOMER SPECIALIST IN TN. TODAY ON 10/9/13 AFTER CALLING EVERYDAY SINCE 9/13/13, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART IS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. THEY WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. IT IS JUST WHAT HAPPENS IN MAINTAINING THE CAR. I HAD JUST SPENT ALMOST $1000 IN A REGULAR MAINTENANCE. THE TEAM LEADER USED THE EXAMPLE OF REPLACING THE TIMING BELT. DON'T SEE WHY THIS IS THE SAME. I ALMOST GOT KILLED AND SOMEONE MIGHT HAVE ALREADY LOST THEIR LIFE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR NISSAN! IF I WAS ON I 75 I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! *TR
