Takata recall, vehicle has been burning through a lot of motor oil and the other day I noticed smoke coming out of the motor and I'm going through about 3 quarts of motor oil in one week I am afraid that the motor may catch on fire. As I was driving my family to the lake I noticed that there was smoke coming out of the engine and the engine light came on when I pull to the side of the freeway the engine died and there was a lot of smoke coming out of it when I inspected it after it was safe to inspect I noticed there was zero oil in the motor
I was driving to work on the freeway going about 60mph when all of a sudden my 2006 nissan sentra ( se 1.8) gave a small jerk and the rpms reduced drastically. I also began to lose my steering and no matter how hard I pressed the gas pedal the car wouldn't accelerate. I was able to make it to the shoulder, I turned off the car and after a few minutes it was fine. Then later that night as I was sitting with the engine at an idle, the car suddenly died but it did started back up. I decided to take it to my mechanic and it died 2 or 3 times while I was driving it. The mechanic couldn't find anything wrong. My check engine light never came on and the car didn't throw a code. I brought the car home and parked it because I do not feeling safe driving it. Tonight I sat in the car and turned it on to see if it would start. It did start but every second or so there was an loud click from the engine after which the car would give a sizeable shudder. Also the rpms rev'd when I put the car in neutral or park. They would dip when the car was in drive or reverse. I see on the web there is a recall for the camshaft and crankshaft position sensor. I haven't called nissan yet but after reading other complaints on this website I have no hope they will honor the recall as my VIN isn't included. I hope someone at the federal safety agency forces an expanded recall. It isn't right that those of us having problems have to pay for a known problem. In addition, my car is now sitting because I'm scared of driving it just to have it die, causing me to lose steering and possibly brakes. I will let my mechanic know about the recall to see if in the end, my car is also one of those unlucky ones that have the same issue but don't fall under the recall.

Engine light is on then realized that I was having problem getting fuel into gas tank. Once opening the gas cap a gush of gas fumes comes out. Can not get gas in tank with out gas pump cutting off all the time. It takes for ever to get gas into tank. Vehicle taken to nissan dealer they told me it was gas tank and that a similar problem was discovered on another model a recall was done on that model not on my vehicle model. They expect me to pay 100.00 for new gas tank. This is a safety concern due to the fact the rush of gas fume pressure that rushes out when fuel cap is open to refuel vehicle. Dealer states that fuel tank sensor is causing problem.
The check engine light came on and now the vehicle misses while driving and is almost impossible to start. The resulting error message is p0335 crankshaft position sensor error. There is a recall issued for 2006 nissan sentras and they are saying my VIN is not covered. The federal safety agency action number is rq06001 the federal safety agency campaign id number: 07v527000 component: engine and engine cooling.
A few weeks ago my car's engine started doing a stuttering thing while driving down the road or highway. It would just do it out of no where and it felt like the engine was about to shut off but it kept going. The check engine light came on after and it shows crank position sensor. I searched for this online and found this was a recall for my vehicle year, model and engine type. It stated that it could cause the engine to shut off while driving causing an accident. I took it into the dealing expecting to have this fixed under the recall but was informed that my vehicle's VIN was not on the list of affected vehicles and it would not be covered. My engine is still doing the stutter thing because I have not had it fixed yet and the manufacturer will not fix it under the recall because they say my vehicle was not affected even though it obviously was affected.

Engine and engine cooling
- What is wrong
- On certain passenger vehicles equipped with a 2.5l engine, the crankshaft position sensor can overheat causing a brief interruption in the signal output from the sensor.
- Risk
- If the interruption in the signal from the crankshaft position sensor is so brief that the electronic control module (ECM) logic does not have time to diagnose the condition, the engine may stop running without warning while the vehicle is driven at a low speed increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will reprogram the ECM free of charge. Certain my 2006 altimas which have been previously remedied under recall campaign 06v223 (nissan r0606) are not included in this recall since the reprogramming for 06v223 also included this reprogramming. The recall began on december 31, 2007. Owners may contact nissan at 1‑800‑647‑7261.
