Was leaving store and when pulled out onto road, I was involved in a crash! Left the scene and then was taken by private vehicle to local emergency room and from there, airlifted with brain injury! Was almost across the road and vehicle stalled and wouldn't accelerate and stalled and caused a horrible accident. The vehicle that hit me got me in passenger rear as he was traveling up highway and threw me and went air borne and knocked a telephone pole in half and done damage to front as well. Air bags didn't deflate at all. I am making attempt to make nissan aware and opportunity to make right. I have researched what could cause this and recalls are effective while I'm going to state unknown to cause, as there are several reasons on forum as to what could cause this. Takata recall for air bags but unknown on other. ...updated 07/11/17 *bf
Extreme oil consumption and weak cooling fans. Worse when the engine is in a pull/accelerating.
A local auto shop has replaced the crank position sensor twice but the same obdii code appeared again. The car will crank but not start for several minutes. This problem (which is associated with a recall but not for our VIN) is also associated with the engine shutting down during vehicle operation, possibly causing crashes. The nissan dealer has claimed that there is no repair nor recall they can do. I suspect that nissan is failing to report the extent of the problem which has been widely reported in owner interest groups on the internet.

Car cuts off at low speed.problem is included under the federal safety agency campaign number: 07v527000 for year make and model. Dealers tell me that myvin # is not included.if the year make and model are included why not my car? /this is dangerous.
The car began stalling while I was driving and check engine light began flashing. There was also a burnt smell coming from engine . Car has regular check ups.
Car burning 3 quarts of oil weekly, resulted in catalytic converter code, replace converter, still burning accessive oil with smoke bellowing from tail pipe. Have seen previous recalls while searching for a solution for the same make of my car. Bought used afraid the engine is going to blow.
My car cut off byself and it take long time crank up.

The vehicle threw a code for the camshaft sensor had that replaced then the vehicle threw a code for the crankshaft sensor. Midas replaced two of them still could not clear the code. The vehicle will start in drive but it will sputter while stopped like it is going to stall. When slowing down or coming to a stop the car will shut off and is very difficult to get started again.
Excessive oil consumption engine damage can occur and in extreme cases result in an engine fire. I have to replaced engine and I still having issues sped over $5000 in repairs.
Delayed acceleration at first but now has trouble getting in third and will not go into fourth. Car shakes and makes loud noises with any acceleration. Rides rough and burns oil. Problem started in motion crossing a large bridge.
The motor started making noise a week or so ago. The timing chain has become loose due to faulty parts installed my nissan. The guides for the chain break which causes the tensioners to fail and then the chain gets loose and bounces around the housing. Nissan has known about the problem and tried to hide it and should be held accountable and forced to repair their faulty work.
Front driver side floor rusted through, making a big hole approximately 9in wide by 22in long. Also engine shakes while starting vehicle and sitting in idle in both gear and neutral.

Transmission jerks
Between 3,000 mile interval oil changes, there is significantly amount of oil consumption. There is no white or blue smoke that is visible from the muffler, no oil leaks are visible and no burning odor. When checking oil fluid between 3,000 mile intervals, have noticed the oil falling below minimum line on dipstick. On that same note, the drive way does not show any signs of oil leak coming from the car.
My car was previously serviced for a campaign posted on your website, but the problem was not fixed. I should be entitled to have this problem re worked and fixed. The problem is that the car stalls out without warning, creating a dangerous situation. It stalls out while driving and while idle.
This vehicle has given me a lot of problems from steering to brakes took the boots transmission. It was hard shifting going through an intersection all the sudden it popped and the transmission gave out

Service engine light came on and we had the vehicle tested to see why? I was informed there was a problem with the crank sensor? This is the 2nd time this vehicle has had this problem. We had the sensor replaced 09/22/2015 due to engine shutting off unexpectedly and we lost power steering and brakes.!
My car would stall and shut off while driving. It happened one driving about 20mph and then a few times in traffic. Then would not crank to start. Check engine light came on. Had the codes read and it was po725 speed sensor po335 camshaft sensor. I had both parts replaced 2 times. Car still has a hard start and check engine light is still on. There is a recall from nissan for this problem on 2006 nissan altima recall id#90579. I called nissan and they said my VIN is not affected??
Abnormal engine noise has been apparent since I bought it in 2011. I especially notice it at start up and it has become increasingly harder to start on first try. Independent service shop confirmed the timing chain tensioner needs replaced.
1. Car randomly has slow acceleration problems. I can turn off the car, wait a few minutes and it begins working ok again. 2. Car sometimes randomly loses power with no warning. 3. Sometimes if it stalls and eventually cranks up, the vehicle experiences slow acceleration issues again but then the check engine light comes on. I have taken taken this car to the shop repeated and they don't pull anything on the diagnostic tests. No problem can be found. I have replaced the battery, changed our can sensor, cleaned the throttle body, everything seems good for a little while (few days or couple of weeks) and then the problem happens again. I read in various forums that this has been an issue happening with many altimas for various model years. I don't understand why this issue has not called for a national recall. This is ridiculous!!! My friend also has a 2006 altima and her car has begun to do the exact same thing!. Please help. The first time it lost power it was during a morning commute to work while driving on the california 91 freeway! It really terrified me because I could have been killed or involved in a very bad accident. Most recent incident happened last week. I am afraid to drive on the freeway or long distances. I had to rent a car for the weekend because I had to work today, and being saturday, the commuter bus that I now take to work because I don't trust my car, does not run on the weekends. I want to get a new car but can't afford having monthly payments again. I didn't start having any problems with the car until it was paid off.
Consuming or burning a lot of oil.had to add about a quart of oil every 300 miles. It takes longer to shift and does not have power going uphill. Hard 1-2 shift.
My car is losing oil from somewher no leaking but to drive from columbia sc to atlanta ga the car will be out of oil I just brought the car its has 112000 miles on it. There is no oil leaking or nothing so where is the oil going
