The cars battery and brake lights came on while driving and then after about 10 mins my gas pedal stopped working and I almost got in a really bad car accident. If i rev the car over 3000 rpms the lights go out. So while i was cruising i had to shift to natural and rev the car and shift back to drive when i needed to go faster. I brought the car to the mechanic got a new alternator and battery. When driving it home after picking it up the same thing happened after about ten mins. When the mechanic got it back he said the alternator was dead it was only putting out 3.5 volts. He figured maybe he got a defective alternator so he replaced it again with another battery. Same thing happened for the 3rd time. He said he couldn't figure it out and recommend me to bring it to the dealership. So I did and just for them to look at your car is 150 walking in the door. I explained everything to them and told them don't tell me it's my alternator and charge me 150 for information I already know. The guy said he wouldn't and a few days later calls me and tells me it's the alternator and it would cost 1000 $ to replace it. I told him again I already changed it out 3 different times with a new battery. He told me in order for them to find the issue they would have to do the alternator first and then move on from there. So I asked him ok what's gonna be the next step after I pay a 1000s dollars for something that's not going to fix the issue. He said he couldn't tell me till they did the first step. So pretty much what I got out of it was they just want to run my pockets and get as much money as the possibly could. I asked him if he could just do what ever you would do after changing the alternator and he told me nope. Also I believe this should be a recall because when I look up forms online a ton of people have this same issue and can't get answers to fix it.

I was gifted this car back in april and since the car randomly stalls while in motion a z while driving with no notice. I've gotten into 1 accident due to this.
Recently ive been getting the red airbag signal that keeps flashing and wont go off. Ive checked the fuses. Wiring. Ran diahnostics on it for that and the following issues as well. The car makes a high pitch sound when its just ideling that seems to come feom underneath the car maybe towards back middle ive gotten a new fuel pump checked wiring fuses and bought other new parts and have been unable to figure out what it is. Also the gas gauge wont read after the half way point. Ive tried to reset it calibrate it and nothing. During cold days the gas gauge reads correctly until the car warms up. Mo ths have gone by and nothing so far
My car started to overheat as I increase my speed, I have to drive at 30mph or less to keep me car from overheating on the highway to work.
I bought the car with the car letting out alot of exhaust.doesnt go past 35mph
Takara recall. Sensors are malfunctioning also my muffler is going. Check engine has been on but started blinking when sensor's started acting up. Cant afford to fix this being how I'm a single mother and low income. I herd about this recall on my 05 altima. And had to check it out.
There is a recall for 2005 nissan altima because of over heating due to a failing crankshat/camshaft position sensor which causes car to stall unexpectedly and cause vehicle to crash. Well my vehicle is not on the recall list but yet have the same issue and almost was rear ended by another vehicle due to sensor getting hot and causing car to stall and decrease speed dramatically. And with nissan not recalling my VIN for the same obvious reasons for the recall. So I'm being forced to drive this unsafe car that I've let nissan know is defected, thus endangering myself and the public. It's as though I have to be in an accident and then have to sue nissan because of neglet and allowing one of their vehicles continue to operate knowing that there is an issue with its safety. So I may be forced to have problem fixed but would like to be reimbursed for repairs.
Takata recall my car keeps dying out of no where. The battery light is on, the oil light is on, the service engine light is on. I went to oreillys and said it was the crankshaft position sensor:
