NHTSA Complaint #10908821 — 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA

MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA'S VIN NUMBER IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR RECALL ANNOUNCED IN 2007 THAT DEALS WITH THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR BEING OVERHEATED, WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO CUT OFF WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN STOPPED AT STOPLIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS. I FIRST EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM IN THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST AND IT HAS CONTINUED EVER SINCE. I EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM DAILY WITH MY CAR AND IT HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST GET INTO ACCIDENTS MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT FOR SOME REASON THE VIN NUMBER ON MY CAR ISN'T ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM. WHEN I AM DRIVING AND STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR STOPLIGHT IMMEDIATELY MY CARS ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DROPS BELOW COLD, THEN THE CAR BEGINS TO RATTLE, THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE CAR WILL CUT OFF. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I TRAVEL AT LOW SPEEDS, SUCH AS 10MPH, WHICH HAS CAUSED TO ALMOST GET INTO ACCIDENTS A MULTITUDE OF TIMES. THE PROBLEM OCCURS ON ANY ROAD AS LONG AS I'M STOPPED OR GOING BELOW 10MPH. THE PROBLEM OCCURS EVERYDAY NOW AND AT EVERY STOP I MAKE AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. SINCE NISSAN KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE IN CARS OF THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL, I WOULD LIKE MY VIN NUMBER TO BE INCLUDED IN THE LIST OF THOSE THAT CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE RECALL. I HAVE HAD MANY MECHANICS LOOK AT THE CAR BUT NONE OF THEM KNOW HOW TO FIX IT.
