My car would stall and shut off while driving. It happened one driving about 20mph and then a few times in traffic. Then would not crank to start. Check engine light came on. Had the codes read and it was PO725 speed sensor PO335 camshaft sensor. I had both parts replaced 2 times. Car still has a hard start and check engine light is still on. There is a recall from Nissan for this problem on 2006 Nissan Altima recall id#90579. I called Nissan and they said my VIN is not affected??

Abnormal engine noise has been apparent since I bought it in 2011. I especially notice it at start up and it has become increasingly harder to start on first try. Independent service shop confirmed the timing chain tensioner needs replaced.

1. car randomly has slow acceleration problems. I can turn off the car, wait a few minutes and it begins working ok again. 2. car sometimes randomly loses power with no warning. 3. sometimes if it stalls and eventually cranks up, the vehicle experiences slow acceleration issues again but then the check engine light comes on. I have taken taken this car to the shop repeated and they don't pull anything on the diagnostic tests. No problem can be found. I have replaced the battery, changed our can sensor, cleaned the throttle body, everything seems good for a little while (few days or couple of weeks) and then the problem happens again. I read in various forums that this has been an issue happening with many Altima for various model years. I don't understand why this issue has not called for a national recall. This is ridiculous!!! my friend also has a 2006 Altima and her car has begun to do the exact same thing!. please help. The first time it lost power it was during a morning commute to work while driving on the California 91 freeway! it really terrified me because I could have been killed or involved in a very bad accident. Most recent incident happened last week. I am afraid to drive on the freeway or long distances. I had to rent a car for the weekend because I had to work today, and being Saturday, the commuter bus that I now take to work because I don't trust my car, does not run on the weekends. I want to get a new car but can't afford having monthly payments again. I didn't start having any problems with the car until it was paid off.

The engine goes off suddenly in the mid of the traffic at intersection, during taking curves. The car goes out of power, brakes and steering lose complete power. It is very dangerous situation as any one can back end, hit the car, or car can go back on ramp or can fall off the road. It can happen any time, no engine warning no diagnostic.

Takata crankshaft and camshaft sensors. Had both of them fail on our Altima in past 2 years at the cost of $800. Which the dealer has made us pay for. The car will randomly leave you stranded and will not start at all. Check engine light comes on too. Called for towing but then car "miraculously started" after stranded for 1 hour in dangerous location. Drove directly to dealer. Who ran tests and declared sensor faulty. Dealer claims the vehicle is not part of the recall... well I think someone needs to check the details on this. Obviously they missed all of the other vehicles affected by these faulty sensors that were manufactured during the same time. Very unhappy customer

I currently have a check engine light, I scanned and pulled the code with my own personal scanner the code was P0507 (idle air control valve) the code was cleared, now another code is being thrown which is the tps(throttle position sensor) and the iats(intake air temp sensor bank 1) I heard that nissian had a recall on this matter so I researched it with my VIN number and nothing showed up. I heard the ECU needs to be reprogrammed and the problem will be fixed. This matter needs to be attended to before something more serious happens to me or my family while driving this vehicle.

Wife was coming home from the airport when approaching stop sign the engine shut down without notice. "no brakes or power steering". vehicle was pushed by city workers into parking area. Later on after the vehicle sat it started and we were able to get it home. Next day I noticed the engine light on! I took the vehicle in to check the codes. Codes indicated it could be the battery or a crank, cam sensor. Battery showed bad. Purchase new battery and assumed everything is okay. I drove the vehicle down to a store and when I pulled into a parking spot it stopped. Later on vehicle started and drove next door to a auto dealership. Dealership ran a diagnostic test indicating internal failure in cam sensor. Code P0340 stored. Vehicle repaired.
