| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 nissan altima, i was on the freeway with my 2 year old grandson when my car stalled, i tried to start my car several time before it would turn back on. The problem is the camshaft sensor! They have had this problem on their altimas since 2002. And are still experiencing the problem. Only now instead of paying for the camshaft sensor to be replaced (as they did in 2002) they will only reprogram the ecm. I had to have 2 malfunction camshaft sensors replaced. The circuit board for the camshaft sensor may have an improper solder joint due to solder deformation had produced an improved camshaft/ crankshaft sensor. Which tells me there aware of this issue but don't want to take responsibility. What will it take a fatality! This is appearing in all different years of this model of car.
