My car started making an engine rattling noise as if I needed oil. I took my car to a mechanic and had the oil and filter changed several times, but the noise continued and my check engine light came on and will not go off. The noise has gotten louder and my car hesitates when I try to accelerate. Sometimes when I try to start my car, it hesitates and will not start. The mechanic stated that it sounded like my crankshaft was going bad. I looked on the internet for those kinds of problem with my car and saw that there was a recall on this item, but my VIN didn't show that mine was one of the ones that was recalled. I am not the original owner of this vehicle, I bought it used from a car dealership. I need for this problem to be repaired without cost to me because this is not my fault.

The car started hesitating while driving and the head gasket was blown due to the pre cat system clogging up this is a very high cost repair for this vehicle and all these vehicles should be repaired at nissan cost due to the amount of vehicles this has happened to and there being class action law suites over it. This is their fault not mine why should I be responsible for this cost when it has happened to numerous 05 altima. They should man up and fix this issue. I have owned 3 other nissan vehicles with no problems besides maintenance, but this is the last nissan I will ever own, I was going to get an infinity but since nissan makes those I will not be purchasing one of those either and will research before I purchase any vehicle to make sure nissan doesn't have anything to do with the vehicle name. I'm done with nissan and would not recommend anyone to purchase one they do not stand behind their name anymore. Also the vehicle has always been services at a nissan dealership.
