OUR 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5L'S ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON JULY 6. 2009. AFTER THE INCIDENT, I RESEARCHED RECALL INFORMATION REGARDING THE 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA, AND DISCOVERED A RECALL REQUIRING THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE TO BE REPROGRAMMED. HOWEVER, WHEN I TOOK IT INTO TIM DAHLE'S NISSAN IN SANDY, UTAH WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR, THEY TOLD US THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEREFORE, NISSAN'S RECALL IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM BY SIMPLY REPROGRAMMING THE ECM. INSTEAD, THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM IS THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, AND THE CONSUMER IS REQUIRED TO SPEND $200 TO GET THIS REPAIR DONE. THE RECALL SPECIFIES THE PROBLEM, BUT DOES NOT TAKE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

TODAY, 2/17/09, WHILE SURFING THE INTERNET, I CAME ACROSS A WEBSITE THAT POSTS NISSAN RECALL INFORMATION. I FOUND THAT NOV 21, 2007 A MASS RECALL WAS PERFORMED FOR OVER 653,000 VEHICLES, FOR 2002 & 2005-2006 ALTIMA/SENTRA MODELS, WITH 2.5L ENGINES, FOR DEFECTIVE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, WHICH CAUSES THE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF. THEN ON NOV 8, 2007, CAMPAIGN #07V527000 WAS INACTED; SUMMARY: ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 2.5L ENGINE, THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CAN OVERHEAT CAUSING A...
