| Description of the problem | My 2004 nissan altima simply shut off while driving about 60 miles an hour and the 'check engine' light came on and stayed on. When i tried to restart it, it acted like there was no 'spark' but it did turn over. After a little cool down, it cranked as normal. Several times after this, while either driving or stopped at a light it would shut down just like turning off the switch. After several tries it would start normally. I took it to the dealer and they replaced the crank angle sensor at my expense ($197. 38) even though i protested that there were complaints an even recalls on other altimas in the same series. I feel that nissan should reimburse me considering the onslaught of complaints and potential danger when this occurs. (the power steering fails to work!) |
