I HAVE A 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5SL. MY CAR WOULD NOT START, HESITATED TO ACCELERATE, SEEMED TO LOSE POWER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEN "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" WARNING LIGHT COMES ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY. DEALER SERVICE DEPT IS CHARGING ME MORE THAN $200 DOLLARS FOR A CRANK SENSOR REPLACEMENT REPAIR. *JB

FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS, CAR HAS BEEN STALLING AND REFUSING TO START UP. ONCE, IT HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY AND LUCKILY THE TRAFFIC WAS NOT HEAVY, SO COULD MANAGE TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER. MANAGED TO RESTART THE CAR AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF TRYING. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON, AND THERE IS HARDLY ANY POWER WHEN YOU PRESS THE ACCELERATOR. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, AND HE TOLD ME THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT SYMPTOM, BUT WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER, MY VIN # DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL. THAT IS SO STRANGE. I HOPE NISSAN REALIZES THAT THERE ARE OTHER ALTIMA'S FROM 2003 THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *JB

SHE COULD NOT RESTART THE ENGINE. THE CAR HAS BEEN TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. NO CLEAR ANSWER HAS BEEN DETERMINED FOR WHY THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO SHUT OFF WHEN THE CAR IS IDLING, EVEN WHEN DRIVEN BY DEALERSHIP MECHANICS. I JUST FOUND A RECALL ON YOUR WEBSITE FOR THE CIRCUIT BOARD FOR THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR ON 2002 NISSAN ALTIMAS. THE CONSEQUENCES LISTED IN THIS RECALL ARE SIMILAR TO THE ONE I AM EXPERIENCING. I AM GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM CHECK MINE. COULD YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO WHETHER THIS CRICUIT BOARD PROBLEM IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA CAUSING THAT CAR'S ENGINE TO...
