problem #2

Altima 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 60,000 miles

I was driving my 2005 Nissan Altima and it died in the middle of the road. I had a diagnostic test performed on my car. It came back as my CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. We fixed the sensor. Not even a month later the same thing happened again. THIS TIME THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR. I did research on the computer and found that there is a recall on the ECM. The ECM needs reprogrammed. This caused my sensors to go out. 1800 Nissan 1 and Nissan dealerships will take no responsibility for the parts going bad and want to charge me over 200.00 to fix it. After researching this for a while on the computer this is happening to thousands of Nissan car owners. There has been deaths serious accidents. The computer cannot be reprogrammed until the sensors are replaced. Unfortunately the owners of the vehicles including me cannot afford the parts and or don't feel as if they are responsible for them and death and serious accidents are occurring. My car is broke down on the side of the road and Nissan is not taking on any responsibility they want to fix half the problem and leave me to pay for the damage done to the vehicle from their malfunctions in the Altimas computers.

I am grateful for the recall. But I don't believe I should have to pay for a new battery to have this part replaced. My battery is fine. I haven't had any problems with it. If this part has to be replaced based on the car's battery being checked, then let them pay for the battery also.
