| Description of the problem | Nissan altima 2004 with about 77,000 miles. Was part of recall for ecm and i had this done at the dealership winter of 2006. Was to prevent car from stalling. This recall did not fix the problem. 12/31/2009 service engine light came on was told it was the crank shaft sensor. Car stalled while at a stop light without warning. Numerous complaints on the internet about this issue nissan altimas - 2002 to 2006. Many people have the sensor replaced only to have the same problem again. Very dangerous as the car appears to drive well and it just shuts off. Have not contacted dealership yet for repair, sent an email to nissan. Recall for ecm to reprogram to prevent stalling, but the real issue seems to be the sensor that causes the car to stall. This is a real safety issue. Nissan should recall all altimas 2002-2006 and have this problem fixed before someone gets killed. |
