Description of the problem	My vehicle started to have a hard shift while i was riding down the beltway. The car would shift so hard that it felt like someone had hit my car from behind. Approximately two weeks later the "service engine soon" light came on. I took it to sheehy nissan of waldorf and had the car repaired. That cost me around $170. 00. About two weeks later the hard shifts were back. One and a half months later my "service engine light" comes back on and this time my car will not start. I was literally stuck until i was informed that eventually the computer will click and let the car start. I eventually got the car to start and took it to the nissan dealer. I was informed that the crankshaft position sensor was bad. I have to pay another $230. 00. To get my car back. The problem is that they have recalled this same problem on the 2002 and the 2003 nissan altima but not on the 2004. *jb
