While driving my 2005 Nissan Altima in active traffic with my [XXX] child, the vehicle suddenly stalled without any warning. The engine completely shut off while in motion, creating an immediately safety hazard in live traffic conditions. Immediately after the stall, I observed oil leakage and smoke entering the cabin. The vehicle became inoperable and we were stranded roadside. This failure is consistent with a known defect involving the crankshaft position sensor and engine control system addressed in NHTSA Campaign 07V-527, which describes sudden engine stall without warning due to sensor signal interruption. Although my vehicle previously received recall-related service, this incident suggests the prior remedy did not prevent recurrence of the defect. Sudden engine shutdown while driving in traffic Loss of vehicle power without warning Smoke entering passenger cabin Risk of crash involving child passenger Request: I am requesting that NHTSA: Review this incident for potential recall remedy failure Investigate whether this represents recurrence of a known defect Determine whether additional corrective action is needed for this vehicle population INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The cars battery and brake lights came on while driving and then after about 10 mins my gas pedal stopped working and I almost got in a really bad car accident. If i rev the car over 3000 rpms the lights go out. So while i was cruising i had to shift to natural and rev the car and shift back to drive when i needed to go faster. I brought the car to the mechanic got a new alternator and battery. When driving it home after picking it up the same thing happened after about ten mins. When the mechanic got it back he said the alternator was dead it was only putting out 3.5 volts. He figured maybe he got a defective alternator so he replaced it again with another battery. Same thing happened for the 3rd time. He said he couldn't figure it out and recommend me to bring it to the dealership. So I did and just for them to look at your car is 150 walking in the door. I explained everything to them and told them don't tell me it's my alternator and charge me 150 for information I already know. The guy said he wouldn't and a few days later calls me and tells me it's the alternator and it would cost 1000 $ to replace it. I told him again I already changed it out 3 different times with a new battery. He told me in order for them to find the issue they would have to do the alternator first and then move on from there. So I asked him ok what's gonna be the next step after I pay a 1000s dollars for something that's not going to fix the issue. He said he couldn't tell me till they did the first step. So pretty much what I got out of it was they just want to run my pockets and get as much money as the possibly could. I asked him if he could just do what ever you would do after changing the alternator and he told me nope. Also I believe this should be a recall because when I look up forms online a ton of people have this same issue and can't get answers to fix it.

Car engine cuts off. After that I have no power steering, no acceleration, brakes need to be pumped. The first years of me owning the car I had the sensors replaced by auto shop and dealership under extended car warranty. Pretty much been replacing the sensors ever since for the past 8 years. I believe I replaced over 10 sensors of the time I owned my Nissan. I can be on the hallway, streets anywhere with out any warnings my car engine will stop. It has to do with turning back on the car while it's warm. That's when I seen the problem the most.

The engine began to stall out randomly when driving down the road. After two times the engine light came on it stated that the crankshaft sensor was off. Since then, the engine light turned off bu, the problem still persists. When driving at low speeds through a city area, will cut off randomly. I have contacted Nissan regarding their recall about this exact problem of the crankshaft causing the engine to cut off but was simply told that my VIN number does not qualify under the recall even though it is exactly what the recall is for. Was also told that even if I were to get it inspected and checked for the problem that I would not be covered under the recall because they considered it "wear and tear." the car is only at 110000 miles and has this extremely dangerous problem, but Nissan refuses to help fix their mistake.

This happened on saturday april 03, 2021. I had an accident with nissan altima 2005. I was driving about 55 miles per hour on a highway here in madison wisconsin, where all the sudden a road construction truck coming from the work area (center of the highway) tried to snick and crossed without looking at the upcoming traffic. Then, I tried to brake, but no way to prevent the crash from happening, so I hit that truck from his passenger side. After the "t", my airbags did not deploy, so I have been severely injured that the ambulance took me to uw hospital for emergency care. Therefore, I got exposed to the danger because my airbags did not deploy and protect me. So, the airbags were working in my car.

The fuel gauge failed to drop all the way to e. No warning light that fuel IS low. While on a city street, on the on ramp to an interstate my car's engine just stopped, no sputter, no lagging just 3K rpm to 0 rpm. I was able to shift my automatic transmission to neutral and coast to the shoulder on the on ramp. Unable to restart engine. Cranked but nonstart. Added fuel and car started right up. At the time of the stall the fuel gauge read approximately 33/8 of a tank of gas. Prior to this occuring, when tank would get low the warning light came on around 1/8TH of a tank.. About halfway been the 1/4 mark and e. Since this occured I have tested the fuel pump, sending unit and fuel level float, and they all test ok.. When the tank was filled after this the fuel gauge moved back up to the full mark (slightly above,) so the needle IS not stuck.

At first we thought it was the belt because the belt from coming off you change the serpentine belt and then it would run for a little bit then it started to stop and not be able to get enough fuel to the gas pedal and I'D have to rev it up. We opened it up where the spark plugs were on the valve covers and it was halfway full of oil we got all the oil out when we ordered a new valve cover and spark plugs the car run fine for one day now it will not start again. The fan turns on like it IS running but there IS no power to the car at all. I read that after the oil gets into the valve covers there's really no fixing it after that. And every time that we fix it only last for one day and so it's very dangerous for me and my daughter to be driving around in that unreliable car what can I do about the recall.
