On 5/23/19 my son was driving this car on the interstate when the car began to decelerate and completely stopped/shutdown on the highway. It's a blessing he was not injured/killed when this happened. The diagnostic check revealed a sensor that the fuel pump needed to be replaced, so after an expensive repair on 5/24/19.then on 5/25/19 while driving to work, the car began to do the exact same thing again and stopped on the highway. Nissan needs to address the issue with this car asap before someone gets seriously injured or killed!!!

The brake light and battery light come on simultaneously the car feel s like it wants to stall. But goes away. Then it ha coming on more and more and as I drive all of a sudden all my rpms speed go from 40 ,60 or at 80 drop to zero . Like the car wants to die but kicks back on. It happens at a traffic light or driving the intermediate brake battery light coming on. Once the car warms up is when I notice it starting. It happens on city streets, but the all rpms and speedometer dropped several times last week 9 times in a 15 mile span as I was on a interstate.

I was driving on a highway at about 45 MPH, when my car's engine shut down. I panicked and had to coast over a lane to get to the highway shoulder. My car would not restart and I had to call for towing. The mechanic said it was a bad cam shaft sensor. I have replaced this sensor at least 4 times on this vehicle. It clearly is a defect by the maker. Nissan said it was not covered by their recall, yet so many nissans are still having he same issue.

Vehicle was being drove down major highway when all of the sudden it loses all power, get off highway on edge put it in park, turn key completely off and try to restart car fails to start check engine light comes on and stays. Get code pulled shows crankshaft position sensor a. Get the crankshaft position sensor replaced and code cleared. Head home with car, does same exact thing that happened while on the highway in town. Have had everything else looked at and no one knows what to do to fix the problem. Car acts as if it's hard to start ever since this happened. Definitely won't be taking it out of town until something is done. Car will sit and crank and crank then eventually decides to start. Starter isn't issue it was previously replaced not even 2 months ago due to it going out.

The car alternates rpms on cool or already running engine, it doesn't seem to be a factor. The engine stalls and/or completely shuts off regardless of speed, acceleration of deceleration status, just started or already running engine. On occasion, it takes a few cranks to even start the engine. Sometimes it doesn't start at all. There is no clear pattern to these events and they are completely random. The problem has been occurring for over half a year already

My 2006 nissan altima's VIN number is not eligible for recall announced in 2007 that deals with the crankshaft position sensor being overheated, which causes the car to cut off when traveling at low speeds or when stopped at stoplights or stop signs. I first experienced this problem in the beginning of august and it has continued ever since. I experience this problem daily with my car and it has caused me to almost get into accidents multiple times, but for some reason the VIN number on my car isn't eligible for the recall that fixed the problem. When I am driving and stopped at a stop sign or stoplight immediately my cars engine temperature gauge drops below cold, then the car begins to rattle, then after a few seconds the car will cut off. It also happens when I travel at low speeds, such as 10mph, which has caused to almost get into accidents a multitude of times. The problem occurs on any road as long as I'm stopped or going below 10mph. The problem occurs everyday now and at every stop I make and it is very dangerous. Since nissan knows of this issue in cars of the same year and model, I would like my VIN number to be included in the list of those that can participate in the recall. I have had many mechanics look at the car but none of them know how to fix it.
