2005 NISSAN ALTIMA Electronic Stability Control Esc Problems

I WAS GIFTED THIS CAR BACK IN APRIL AND SINCE THE CAR RANDOMLY STALLS WHILE IN MOTION A Z WHILE DRIVING WITH NO NOTICE. I'VE GOTTEN INTO 1 ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS. *TR

CATALYTIC CONVERTER! AND PRECAT! *TR

TAKARA RECALL. SENSORS ARE MALFUNCTIONING ALSO MY MUFFLER IS GOING. CHECK ENGINE HAS BEEN ON BUT STARTED BLINKING WHEN SENSOR'S STARTED ACTING UP. CANT AFFORD TO FIX THIS BEING HOW I'M A SINGLE MOTHER AND LOW INCOME. I HERD ABOUT THIS RECALL ON MY 05 ALTIMA. AND HAD TO CHECK IT OUT.

TAKATA RECALL MY CAR KEEPS DYING OUT OF NO WHERE. THE BATTERY LIGHT IS ON, THE OIL LIGHT IS ON, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I WENT TO OREILLYS AND SAID IT WAS THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR:

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE; VEHICLE SUDDENLY HAS AN UNEXPECTED LOSS OF POWER ON HIGHWAY AND WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS. CAMSHAFT SENSORS; SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER TRAVELING AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED, UNEXPECTED STALLING OR ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN AND NOT RESTART. BOTH VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU ALMOST GET RUN OVER BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND YOU. THEY COME UP ON YOU TOO FAST, CONTINUING THEIR NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS NOT REALIZING YOUR VEHICLES LOSS OF POWER UNTIL THEYRE RIGHT UP ON YOU THEN HAVE TO EITHER SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES OR MAKE SUDDEN LANE CHANGE WITHOUT PROPERLY SIGNALING WARNING OTHER DRIVERS. TIMING CHAIN GUIDE AND TIMING CHAIN TENSIONERS; WEAR OUT PREMATURELY CAUSING LOOSENING OF THE TIMING CHAIN, MAKES A VERY LOUD CLANKING OR TICKING SOUND ASBIT HITS THE GUIDE AND CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. STRUTS MOUNTS; CORRODE AND WEAR OUT CREATING A ROUGH AND UNSTABLE STEERING CONTROL AND CLANKING SOUND AS...

THE CAR STALLED WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. CALLED AAA AND THE CAR WAS TOWED TO VILLAGE AUTO IN CHESTER NY .THERE THEY REPLACED THE CAMSHAFT AND CRANKSHAFT SENSORS.I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND MANY PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEMS.SOME OF THE CARS WERE VOLUNTARY RECALLED. I CALLED NISSAN TO REPORT THE PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME THE RECALL GOES BY VIN NUMBER NOT BY THE MAKE AND MODEL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM OF THE RECALLED CARS YET MY CAR ISN'T BEING RECALLED. IT'S LUCKY THAT THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN AT NIGHT AND MY DAUGHTER WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A POLICE TURNAROUND AND FIND A LITTLE SAFETY.

CARS SHUTS OFF WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS WITHOUT WARNING.

AN EXISTING RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE SHOULD INCLUDE THE 3.5L ENGINE AS WELL AS CAMSHAFT/CRANKSHAFT AND TCM. ALL CAUSE SIMILAR LIFE-THREATENING SYMPTOMS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY POWERS COMPLETELY OFF BRIEFLY LOSING ALL POWER TO LIGHTS ETC, DECELERATE RAPIDLY AND YOU LOSE STEERING CONTROL AND SPEED CONTROL. VEHICLES COME UP ON YOU QUICKLY AT NIGHT AND EVEN IF YOU GET THE VEHICLE RESTARTED YOU HAVE NO POWER IN TRANSMISSION AND MERELY LIMP ON AT AN IDLE SPEED. VERY VERY DANGEROUS. WHY IT WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL 2007 RECALL IS NISSAN TRYING TO SAVE A BUCK. THEY USED THE SAME MFG & SAME PARTS AS IN THE 2.5L. THEY KNOWINGLY WITHHELD IT FROM BEING INCLUDED. I ALSO CONTACTED THEM ABOUT THE TCM. KEEP IN MIND THE WERE BITING THEIR NAILS AFTER BEING PRESENTED WITH A CLASS ACTION SUITE REGARDING THE DEFECTIVE TCM. LUCKILY FOR THEM IT WAS DISMISSED TEMPORARILY. BUT...

TAKATA RECALL WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR STARTED MAKING A SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF MY CAR I TURNED DOWN THE MUSIC TO LISTEN TO THE SOUND. AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR MADE ONE LAST SOUND THEN THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING SO I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I GOT OUT TO CHECK THE CAR AND NOTICED IT WAS SMOKING I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND NOTICED IT WAS ON FIRE. I GRABBED MY KIDS OUT THE CAR AND MY BELONGINGS AND WALKED DOWN THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY JUST IN CASE THE CAR BLEW UP. I CALLED THE AMBULANCE AND NOTIFIED THEM ABOUT THE CAR. ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER MY WHOLE ENTIRE CAR WAS IN FLAMES. AS I WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY SOMEONE STOPPED AND LET ME AND MY KIDS SIT IN THE...

I PURCHASED MY 2005 ALTIMA IN 2009 FROM A FAMILY MEMBER( OWNER PASSED AWAY). IN 2013, THE VEHICLE STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES IN SLOW TRAFFIC BUT THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WITH WHOM THE CAR WAS PURCHASED ORIGINALLY. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM BUT REPLACED BOTH CAMSHAFT AND CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSORS BECAUSE BOTH FOUND TO BE SENDING INCORRECT SIGNAL TO COMPUTER SYSTEM. I WAS CHARGED $505.83. I SENT A LETTER TO NISSAN CORP WITH PAPERWORK, RECEIPT AND THE RECALL OF 2007. THIS WAS FAXED TO ROSELLE ON AUG 7 2013. NISSAN REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME, STATING IT DID NOT MEET THE RECALL REQUIREMENTS. NOW IN 2015, THE SAME PROBLEM IS HAPPENING. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BUT CAR IS STALLING IN SLOW TRAFFIC OR WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO TAKE A TURN. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE SAYING...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT LIFTED THE HOOD AND THE ENGINE WAS ON FIRE. THE ENTIRE WARNING PANEL ILLUMINATED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED OR MEDICAL ATTENTION REQUIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACTS RESIDENCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

ON A RECENT TRIP FOR OIL CHANGE I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT A SPOT OF RUST ON THE REAR QUARTER PANEL. THEY SAID A BRACKET WAS RUSTING THAT HOLDS THE REAR QUARTER PANEL ON. THE REAL PROBLEM, THEY POINTED OUT WAS THE SEVERE RUST UNDER THE FRONT FLOORBOARDS, BOTH PASSENGER'S AND DRIVER'S SIDE. I WAS HOPING TO GET ABOUT 6,000 FOR THE CAR TOWARD THE PURCHASE OF A NEW ONE. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE ENGINE RUNS GREAT IT IS VERY UPSETTING TO KNOW THAT IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THEY SAID THERE IS NO WARRANTY ON THE RUST. *TR

MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKING UP N I FOUND MYSELF CONSTANTLY BUYING GLUE IT WONT START EVEN AFTER I DONE HAD IT SERVICED. *TR

MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHTS COMES ON, CALL STALLS, AND CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE CAR SPUTTERED ALMOST STALLING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND STAYED ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO A CAR PARTS STORE AND BORROWED THEIR COMPUTER DIAGNOSIS DEVICE AND FOUND OUT THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE ESM, BUT NOTHING GOING TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM (THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR). THROUGH MY RESEARCH I FOUND THE PROBLEMS ATTRIBUTED TO THIS PART ARE NOT STARTING, SPUTTERING WHILE DRIVING AND/OR SHUTTING-OFF WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN ON TWO PREVIOUS OCCASIONS FOR NOT STARTING, BUT NO DIAGNOSIS COULD BE ATTAINED BY NISSAN. AFTER SPEAKING WITH DIFFERENT LOCAL NISSAN DEALER, THE SERVICE TECH ADMITTED THE PROBLEM IS THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR FAILING. I FEEL NISSAN IS PUTTING A BAND-AID ON THE REAL PROBLEM DISGUISING IT WITH THE ESM REPROGRAM. THE FAILURE OF THIS PART CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS IF...

THE CAR STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROUTE WHILE OPERATING THE CAR. *TR

AROUND SEPT 7, 2007 I WAS DRIVING MY CARE AND IT STALLED THEN STOPPED ON ME WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT AND HAD A TOE TRUCK COME AND PICK THE CAR UP AND TAKE IT TO W.O. BANKSTON NISSAN DALLAS. THEY PERFORMED THE CONSULT DIAG AND FOUND DTC FOR CRANK SENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. I HAD THE CRANKSHAFT REPAIR DONE. I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FOR 2005 ALTIMA STATING THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE ENGINE MIGHT STOP RUNNING WHILE BEING DRIVEN DUE TO THE PROGRAM IN THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ENGINE COMPUTER). AND THIS COULD RESULT IN A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPEN TO MY CAR AND I AM TRYING TO SEE HOW I CAN GET A REFUND ON THE PREVIOUS SERVICE. I DID TAKE MY CAR IN FOR THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD BY MY SERVICE ADVISOR THAT...

I PURCHASED A NEW 2005 2.5S IN MAY 04'...I'VE BEEN HAVING IGNITION/SENSOR PROBLEMS FOR QUITE SOME TIME. THE PROBLEM: WHEN I TRY TO CRANK THE ENGINE USING THE KEYS PROVIDED (AT PURCHASE) THE CAR WILL HESITATE (SOUNDS LIKE THE ENGINE IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL) I EVEN THOUGHT IT WAS A BATTERY RELATED ISSUE AND CHANGED THE BATTERY...ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAD TO CRANK IT NEARLY 5 TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD START. I ADDRESSED MY ISSUES WITH THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON MANY OCCASIONS BUT THEY WILL ONLY ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM IF/WHEN IT HAPPENS THERE. RECENTLY, I WAS INFORMED THAT A SIMILAR RECALL HAD TAKEN PLACE ON THE 2003-2004 MODELS BUT THAT THE 2005-2006 DID NOT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE...NOT!...I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN NISSAN'S APPROACH TO THIS PROBLEM. IN FACT, AFTER AN ATTEMPT TO FIND OUT WHEN THE PROBLEM WOULD BE FIXED I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WOULD...
