2005 Nissan Altima Electrical System

MY CAR IS BEING ILLEGALLY REMOTELY HACKED BY AN I.T. TECHNICIAN BY THE NAME OF [XXX] WHO IS ILLEGALLY HACKING MY VEHICLE WITH BLUETOOTH. HIS BLUETOOTH DEVICE NUMBER THAT COMES UP IS [XXX] (WY STANDS FOR THE FIRST 2 LETTERS OF HIS LAST NAME, 23 IS PART OF HIS DATE OF BIRTH WHICH IS [XXX].) HIS # [XXX]. HIS ADDRESS: [XXX]. HIS EMAIL: [XXX]. [XXX] IS DANGEROUSLY HACKING MY VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. [XXX]IS VERY DANGEROUS HE IS HACKING MY CAR ALMOST DAILY, SEVERAL TIMES DAILY. ***HE DOES EVERYTHING LISTED IN THE FBI IC3 ARTICLED CALLED "MOTOR VEHICLES INCREASINGLY VULNERABLE TO REMOTE EXPLOITS." *** HE HAS DISABLED MY ENGINE EVEN CAUSING 2 CAR ACCIDENTS RECENTLY IN JUNE & JULY 2017 (WHEN I WAS DRIVING UNDER 10 MILES PER HOUR), HE HAS DISABLED MY BRAKES, HE HAS HACKED MY TRACTION AT LEAST 100 TIMES AND THE LIGHT COMES ON STATING TCS OFF/SLIP INDICATING THAT THE TRACTION IS DISABLED-THE POLICE TOLD ME TO PRESS THE BUTTON ON THE DASHBOARD THAT SAYS TCS OFF WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND IT WILL RESET ITSELF-BUT IT DOESN'T BECAUSE [XXX] IS REMOTELY HACKING MY CAR. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING AT A SLOW PACE USUALLY UNDER 10 MILES AN HOUR IS WHEN HE DISABLES MY ENGINE COMPLETELY REMOTELY AND HE CAUSED 2 CAR ACCIDENTS BY DOING THIS. BUT HE DISABLES THE TRACTION AT ANY SPEED OR EVEN BEFORE I TURN THE CAR ON, HE DISABLES IT WITH BLUETOOTH AND WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON, I HAVE NO TRACTION. HE IS CLEARLY TRYING TO HARM/HURT ME. WHY ELSE WOULD ANYONE DO THIS? HE IS CLEARLY SICK AND HIS SICK DANGEROUS BEHAVIOR IS ESCALATING. EVERYDAY ILLEGALLY DANGEROUSLY REMOTELY HACKS MY VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES, DISABLED THE TRACTION. AS YOU KNOW, CAR HACKING IS VERY DANGEROUS-HE DOESN'T CARE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY SON WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN HE HEARD A LOUD NOISE, THEN SAW SMOKE AND STOPPED THE CAR, WHEN HE RAISED THE HOOD THE ENGINE WAS ON FIRE TRIED TO PUT IT OUT WITH WATER AFTER HE SAW HE COULD NOT STOP THE FLAMES CALLED 911 THE CARE TOTALLY BURNED NOTHING LEFT EXCEPT FRAME THE FIRE DEPT. PUT OUT THE FIRE BUT THE CAR WAS ALREADY BURNED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANK SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

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. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE 5-7 TIMES WHERE THE CAR WOULDN'T START OR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ( DECREASING IN SPEED). *TR

PROBLEM BEGUN BY MY VEHICLE BEING HARD TO START. YOU COULD ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR FOR 5 OR SO MINUTES WITHOUT SUCCESS. YOU COULD WAIT ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE WOULD EVENTUALLY START BUT RUN PRETTY ROUGH. IT WOULD ALSO PERFORM WITH POOR POWER DURING OPERATION. THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE WHEN THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON. NOW THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 4 TO 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE ENGINE WILL RE-START BUT RUNS ROUGH. I'M AFRAID THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AT THE WRONG PLACE AND TIME MY WIFE AND FAMILY CAN BE HURT OR KILLED. I READ A RECALL ON DEFECT OF THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR WHICH CAUSES THE IDENTICAL SYMPTOMS THAT MY CAR HAS BUT WHEN I TOOK IT TO CANNON NISSAN AT JACKSON MS. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS? PLEASE GIVE ME A RESPONSE ON THIS IF YOU CAN AT [XXX] OR [XXX]. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR CARE AND ASSISTANCE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CAR WOULD COMPLETEY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING 55 PLUS.AT ABOUT 20 MILES OR MORE AND ON FREEWAY WAS VERY DANGEOURS. WOULD NOT TURN ON UNTILE 20 MINS. LATER AND NOTICE IF ENGINE WAS WARM IT SHUT IT DOWN. HOPEFULLY THIS WORKS BUT CAR HAS TO HAVE MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACE AND BEING HANDICAP NEED THIS CAR.IV NOTICE 2.5 HAS SAME PROBLEMS AND RECALLED. IF I HAD BEEN IN MIDDLE LANE OR NO AREA TO PULL OVER ACCIDENT WOULD OF HAPPEN PLUS YOU LOSE ALL POWER STEERING. *TR

THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. AT TIMES THEVEHICLE TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START. *TR

I ALREADY WENT THOUGH P0420 ISSUE FEW YEARS BACK AND I GOT IT AGAIN. NISSAN DEALER CHARGED ME WHOLE LOTTA MONEY TO FIX THE ISSUE AND THE WARNING SIGN CAME BACK AGAIN. WENT TO LOCAL AUTO ZONE AND IT SHOW P0420 AGAIN. PLEASE HELP. I READ SO MANY ARTICLES ONLINE AND IT TURNS OUT ALL ALTIMA HAS THIS ISSUE (CRANKSHAFT, O2 SENSOR, ETC.). *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, AT 70 MPH, MY CAR BUCKED AND THEN SHUT DOWN. LOSING ALL CONTROL, IT COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. WHILE OFF YOU LOSE POWER-STEERING, ABS ETC. LUCKILY I WAS ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF HIGHWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. CAME TO A COASTING STOP. WHEN TO START MY CAR AGAIN, AND IT TOOK A WHILE FOR IT TO TURN OVER. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WOULD ROUTINELY BUCK, AND HICCUP AS IF IT WERE TRYING TO SHUT ITSELF OFF. I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER, HAVE THE ECM REPROGRAMMED, AS THEY THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE THE ISSUE. GOT IT DONE, AND A DAY LATER, SAME THING HAPPENED, MY CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I GOT IT RUNNING, AND THEN AS I GOT NEARER HOME, THE CAR SHUT DOWN AGAIN AT AN INTERSECTION. I WAS LUCKY I DIDN'T GET IN A WRECK. FURIOUSLY, I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER, AND BROUGHT IT BACK IN. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, IT WAS NOTED THE CAM/CRANKSHAFT SENSORS WERE BAD. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY NISSAN, AS THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR 2000 - 2003 MODELS OF THEIR CARS IN THE PAST. I GOT THEM REPLACED AND PAID OUT OF POCKET TO DO SO. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY WERE DISRESPECTFUL AND NOT HELPFUL AT ALL. THEY KNOW THAT THE ISSUE IS STILL ONGOING WITH THEIR VEHICLES. ITS A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION AND SHOULD NOT BE UP TO THE CONSUMER TO FIX THE ISSUE AS ITS A FLAW IN THEIR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS RIGHT AWAY AS THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. *TR

CAR DOESNT START. CAR DOESNT MAINTAIN CONNECTION. WHILE DRIVING IN A TUNNEL, UPON ACCELERATION TO GO UPHILL, CAR STALLED. *TR

THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN MY CAR HAS FAILED ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. MOST RECENTLY, FOR ABOUT THE 10TH TIME, MY WINDOWS DON'T GO DOWN AND I AM UNABLE TO ADJUST THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT. MY CAR HAS RECENTLY FAILED THE SAFETY INSPECTION IN MY STATE BECAUSE THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW DOES NOT GO DOWN. I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A REPUTABLE DEALER, BUT I HAVE A FEELING THEY KNEW THE CAR HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES BECAUSE THEY PUSHED THE 3RD PARTY WARRANTY WHEN I WAS DOING MY FINANCING. IT DIDN'T DAWN ON ME UNTIL I STARTED HAVING ALL THESE ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IN MY THE CAR; SUNROOF, WINDOWS, LOCKS AND SEATS. *TR

2005 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS A BAD CRANK SHAFT POSITION CENSOR. I HAVE FOUND IT HAPPENING IN MANY CARS. THE CAR WILL STOP AND NOT START AGAIN IF IT GOES BAD. THE PART ONLY COSTS APPROX. $30.00. I THINK YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

CAR STARTED MISSING AND STUTTERING THEN SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING FOR A COUPLE DAYS, NEARLY CAUSING 3 ACCIDENTS IN THIS SPAN. ON THE THIRD DAY IT STARTED LOSING POWER AND SHUT OFF CONSTANTLY WHEN AT RED LIGHTS. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SCANNED THE ENGINE CODES. WE REPLACES THE CAMSHAFT AND CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSORS AND THE CAR RAN SMOOTHLY AGAIN. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE ECM REPROGRAM RECALL DONE TO THE CAR AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON AND VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

MY CAR WOULD ACT LIKE IT WAS SKIPPING A GEAR AND JERK. IT WOULD ALSO SOMETIMES NOT START. THE ULTIMATE FAILURE IS THAT MY CAR STALLS WHILE I'M DRIVING IT. IT USED TO BE EVERY SO OFTEN AND HAS NOW BECOME A DAILY THING. I AM REPLACING THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR MYSELF AS THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. NISSAN KNOWS THIS BUT HAS DONE NOTHING TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO IT WASN'T WORTH MY WHILE TO EVEN CHECK WITH NISSAN TO HAVE THIS FIXED. *TR

CRANKSHAFT SENSORS FAILED IN 11/2009 AND CAR CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING - CRANKSHAFT SENSOR FAILED AGAIN 09/2010 BUT I WAS PARKED . NISSAN CLAIMS THERE IS A RECALL ON A BATCH OF CARS FOR THIS ISSUE BUT MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED - THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ALL OVER THE WEB . *TR

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. FROM THE DAY I GOT THE CAR THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH IT STALLING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE RECALL THAT IS ON THE NISSAN FOR THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MINE. I HAVE ALL THE CORRESPONDENCE THAT I HAVE WITH NISSAN. BUT THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WELL YESTERDAY THE CAR SHUT COMPLETELY OFF GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND I WAS ALMOST HIT IN THE REAREND. IT DID THIS 3 TIMES BEFORE I GOT IT HOME. NISSAN NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. IF NOT MY CAR THEN SOMEONE ELSE'S. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE A MAJOR WRECK. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHEN MY CAR REACHES APPROX 60 MILES AN HOUR IT JERKS AS IF IT IS GOING TO CUT OFF. ONE TIME IT DID CUT OFF, JUST SO HAPPEN I WAS ABLE TO PULLOVER. ALSO THE CAR WILL NOT CRANK AT ALL, IT WILL STALL. WE HAVE REPLACED THESE PARTS ON THREE TIMES AND I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR GOING ON THREE YEARS. I WENT ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF OTHERS WERE HAVING THESE ISSUES AND IF YOU LOOK YOU WILL SEE THE SAME COMPLAINTS FROM COUNTLESS CONSUMERS. NO ACCIDENT HAS BEEN REPORTED AS FAR AS I KNOW BUT WHY WAIT UNTIL ONE DOES. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA WHEN IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON THE INTERSTATE SHE WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES PER HOUR. AFTER I TOOK IT TO THE AUTO PARTS STORE AND THEY DIAGNOSED I WANTED TO RESEARCH HOW I COULD FIX THE PROBLEM THAT IS HOW I RAN ACROSS THIS. HTTP://WWW.ACTIVETUNING.COM/BLOG2/2006/02/28/NISSAN-ALTIMA-CRANK-SENSOR-RECALL-BEING-REVIEWED/. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR DOWN THE ROAD, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. I ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR BACK UP, AND WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. I THEN HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED, AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR CRANKED AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY, I WENT INTO TOWN, AND THE CAR DID THE SAME THING. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AFTER A FEW TRIES, BUT IT THEN DROVE FUNNY THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE CAR, BUT I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF ANY RECALL. I FOUND IT AFTER SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET WHEN I GOT HOME. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. APPARENTLY THE RECALL IS FOR THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THESE CARS. I AM UPSET BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT THIS RECALL, AND I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS CAR. I BOUGHT IT NEW. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AT ALL NOW, WHICH MEANS I HAVE NO MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. *TR

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5L ENGINE. I HAD A RECALL ON MY CAR WHERE THEY WOULD RESET ECM TO KEEP THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR FROM OVERHEATING AND THE CAR SHUTTING OFF. AFTER I TAKE MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS DONE 9MONTHS LATER MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES AND I AM HAVING TO REPLACE MY CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. TALKED WITH NISSAN NUMEROUS TIMES THEY REFUSE TO PAY FOR THE DEFECTIVE PART. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE MISTAKES THEY MADE NOT ME. OH AND THEN THEY CHARGED ME TO DISPOSE OF THE OLD PART WHICH THEY LEFT IN MY CAR. I CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT WHAT THE CHARGE WAS FOR AND HE SAID THAT OSHA MADE THEM CHARGE IT FOR DISPOSAL OF THE PART AND WHEN I TOLD HIM THE PART WAS STILL IN MY CAR HE SAID WELL IT IS FOR PAPERWORK FEE AS WELL. *TR

I HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT A ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA SER MODEL FOR SOME REASON IT KEEPS BREAKING DOWN I A READY SPOKE WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND MADE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE VEHICLE BUT THEY KEEP TELLING ME THEY WILL FIND PROBLEM BUT NO EXPLANATIONS WAS GIVING TO ME ABOUT THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. *TR

GOT A LETTER STATING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL THAT COULD CAUSE ENGINE TO STOP AND CAUSE A CRASH WHICH HAS ALREADY HAPPENED TO MY CAR , IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA HAD A RECALL FOR AN ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE WHICH I HAD REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE ON REICHERT NISSAN IN WENENCHEE WA. ON 10-22-2008. AFTER DRIVING 106 MILES MY ENGINE FAILED. I CALLED REICHERT MOTORS AND THEY RESPONDED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO THERE DEALERSHIP BY A CERTAIN TOWING COMPANY; WHICH I DID. (BY THE WAY BEFORE THIS INCIDENT ,THIS CAR HAD NEVER HAD A PROBLEM ; THIS ALL HAPPENED AFTER THE RECALL) AFTER THE CAR WAS CHECKED BY REICHERT THEY STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOW A CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR WHICH WAS NOT RELATED TO THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM SO I WOULD NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR THE TOWING CHARGE AS WELL AS THE PROBLEM WITH THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. THIS SEEMS A LITTLE STRANGE TO ME THAT A CAR WITH NO PROBLEMS PRIOR WOULD ALL OF A SUDDEN DEVELOP THIS PROBLEM AFTER 106 MILES WHICH WAS THE DISTANCE TO MY HOME IN OMAK WA FROM WENECHEE . WITHIN 3 HOURS AFTER THE CAR WAS PICKED UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS A DANGER FOR THE CAR TO LOOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I CALLED NISSAN ABOUT THE PROBLEM( FILE # 6327690) AND THEY STATED THEY ARE NOT AT FAULT. IF I WOULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE I THINK THEY WOULD OF BEEN AT FAULT. THIS COMPANY NEED TO BE REPRIMANDED FOR AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS PROBLEMS ON OUR NATIONS HIGHWAYS. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 SE WHICH IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY MORE DIFFICULT TO START. SYMPTOMS: WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED, IT WILL JUST TURN OVER BUT NOT START. AFTER A FEW TRIES, IT DOES START. THE MOTOR DOES NOT CUT OFF UNEXPECTEDLY AFTER IT'S STARTED. *TR

I TOOK MY 2005 ALTIMA IN FOR THE SENSOR RECALL ON 2/18/2008. IT'S BEEN A MONTH NOW AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX MY CAR. THE RECALL WAS FIXED BUT THE COMPUTER WILL NOT TAKE BACK IN THE CAR AND THE PART IS ON BACKORDER. IF NISSAN ISN'T MAKING THE PART I'M CURIOUS IF THEY ARE COVERING UP A HUGE COMPUTER PROBLEM WITH THE CARS. THE SERVICE DEPT HAS GAVE ME A COMPLETE RUN AROUND AND CAN'T TELL ME NOTHING. THEY GAVE ME A RENTAL CAR WITH NO POWER OPTIONS AT ALL NOTHING COMPARABLE TO WHAT I HAD ON MY CAR. FINALLY DECIDED TO SWITCH ME INTO SOMETHING ELSE WHICH THEY GAVE ME A CHEVEROLET TO DRIVE. THAT SHOULD TELL ME SOMETHING. THE MAIN HEADQUARTERS WAS UNABLE TO REPSOND TO MY EMAIL THEY MUST RESPOND BY PHONE AND SINCE MY PHONE NUMBER WAS NOT UPDATED IN THEIR SYSTEM THEY JUST OVERLOOKED MY EMAIL. I CAN'T CALL IN AND TALK TO THE SPECIALIST ASSIGNED TO MY CAR BECAUSE THEY DON'T ALLOW THAT. THE SPECIALIST MUST CALL YOU. I WOULD RECOMMEND NOT BUYING A NISSAN IT'S MORE OF A HASSLE AND THEY ARE HAVING TO MANY RECALLS. *TR
