| Description of the problem | My 04 nissan altima v6 one day began to buck while on the highway. I made it home, then when i went to start it wouldn't. Basically ever since that day it's been an on going problem w/ not starting, shutting off unexpectedly while driving and completely locking up making it very difficult to pull over and dangerous. At one point it would not accelerate. I am the mother of an infant so until i find a resolution i need to borrow cars to travel with him. I have replaced the camshaft sensor and the throttle position sensor which were the codes that came up and still i cannot drive my car. I then researched my make/model/year and found i was not alone. Many others have encountered the same issues and have yet to reach a resolution and apparently nissan is not declaring a recall on 2004's but have on "02" and "03" which had the same exact issues. I do not want to continue to buy parts and try to fix something that is defective as i read many others have done. I plan on contacting the bbb and taking it from there because i don't know what to do. So here i am making payments on a vehicle that is extremely unsafe for my child and i and no answers on why these cars are malfunctioning and continuing to read camshaft... Etc even after being replaced???? Please help. |
