Description of the problem	Nissan recall ro606 for 2003 and 2004 altimas and sentras with 2. 5 liter engines to reprogram the ecm electronic control module since the crankshaft position sensor may cause the engine to shut down while driving if it cannot take a proper reading. My car has shut down several times and some while traveling 45 -55 miles per hour which could be very hazardous when on a congested 3 or 4 lane highway as i travel daily. This is much more dangerous and far different than the recall states that it only happens at low speeds. I had the ecm reprogrammed per the recall but still have same issues of the car not wanting to start the engine light is on and a scan of the computer (ecm brings up code that the crankshaft sensor is faulty however replacement of the sensor isn't covered by the recall and the reprogramming of the ecn doesn't fix the issue. Many altima owners have had the exact same problem and had to pay out of pocket to purchase and install a new crankshaft sensor to fix this dangerous problem of the car shutting off while driving or being stranded because it doesn't start once it shuts down.
