Car was stalling 2 days ago shut it off and drove away just fine not even 4 hours later my fiance was driving the car home he came up around a hill /bend on a city street the car locked up on him along with the oiil brake and battery light the breaks wouldn't do anything car wouldn't stop he ended up going head on into a tree in the neighbors yard. Car is completely totalled. There was a malfunction in the car somewhere and I believe the security of the car or the ECM is what locked it up on him there was no steering in the car as well. No recalls pop up with my VIN # but I am suspected to believe there was something wrong internally. It was at 240,700 miles.he was expectidly only going 30 miles an hour but with the pictures im attaching it seems like the computer toom over the speed control

For the 2nd time car running very rough and stalling. Had it serviced seems the spark plugs were destroyed and not functioning. Paid over $500 for mechanic to put in new plugs now it happened again. Seems there is a voluntary service campaign qr25de power valve. Campaign id p5202. A bolt from manifold is falling into cylinder and blowing out spark plug and causing internal engine damage, my mechanic put camera in cylinder. Car is running but it has already happened to cylinder 1 and 4. Next time my 22 year old daughter may not be so lucky on her highway commute. Hopefully the local nissan dealer can rectify problem before the problem becomes more serious. The engine light came on that says to service engine soon, it is still on...from what I have found online sounds like power valve screws are coming out and creating engine damage.

I'm an owner of a nissan altima 2004 2.5 (brought the car brand new). Today while driving on the highway, the check engine light came on. So I quickly got home and ran the diagnostic tool which returned codes p0035 ? Crankshaft position senor and p0725 ? Engine speed sensor malfunction. I found many and similar complaints by nissan altima owners with the crankshaft. I called nissan USA and they offered no assistance. I informed nissan USA that there were previous recalls on the crank angle senor (item affected: engine and engine cooling, date announced: 7/7/2006). Their fix was to reprogram the ECM but the issue is with their crankshaft. Per research and online, there are many issues with nissans crankshaft position sensor which could affect the engine/stall the engine. Its a matter of time, where drivers safety and a persons lives are at risk. If the engine stalls while driving on highway or on any road could cause serious harm or fatal death due to failed crankshaft position sensor and/or camshaft position sensor. Please investigate and get all nissan vehicles with faulty crankshaft position sensor recall and fix asap before its too late!!!

On my way home I was going about 25mph, the car started losing power and started to stall. I pulled over and took about 15 minutes and started it back up and it started fine. I made it to napa and one of the guys took a look at it and said it was the accelerator pedal because obviously it wasn't moving. So I got that and had my father put that part on and put it into drive and it still did nothing. I park it back in the driveway as I normally would with the little power that it did have, and the transmission just made a loud thump. My father tells me to start it up and I started it up again as I normally would and the transmission starts whining. This just happened out of nowhere, there were no signs of anything about to happen. No lights were on, no weird noises, and the power was doing completely fine.
