Nissan Altima recall
Is there anyone else that owns a Nissan Altima? There has been a recall in the Electronic Control Module in the 2002 and 2005-2006 models.
If you do own one or know anyone that does, have them contact a Nissan dealer ASAP and they WILL fix it for FREE!
This defect can cause the engine to shut off unexpectedly and cause a crash without warning.

My wife was driving our 2005 Nissan Altima through a parking lot and the engine stopped. After multiple attempts the car finally started again but the 'Service Engine Soon' light came on when this event happened. I called Nissan and they told me about a Factory Recall for just this problem, no cost to the owners to re-program the ECM (computer) to read the Crankcase Position Sensor correctly. I took my car to my local dealer for the recall fix. I was informed that they would HAVE to replace the Crankcase Position Sensor with a NEW one in order to clear the code BEFORE they would perform the factory reprogramming of the ECM. I asked them to just do the recall work but they said they couldn't reprogram the ECM until the code was cleared. I told them that the two were directly related and I shouldn't have to pay for it. So I'm out $193 bucks for a FREE factory recall. I called Nissan USA customer service and they refused to reimburse me. Stay away from Nissan of McKinney. What a SCAM for the dealership to make money from what was supposed to be a free factory fix. Get your Altima reprogrammed BEFORE the sensor makes the Service Engine Soon light comes on or you'll be out $.

I have the same problem that jittle99 had. 2 days ago, my car shut off on me and has did it 3 more times since then, I recieved the factory recall about a month ago, so I thought it was the ECM,so I took it to a Nissian service shop, but he called me back ans stated it was the crankshaft position sensor it was defected and that it would be around 290.00 to fix and they will not fix the ECM till this problem is fixed. I was livid and began looking online to see how much this cost, and behold I have seen more than 50 complaints about the crankshaft position sensor. From, my research it states there is a factory recall on this as well. I will make it my duty to call nissian tomorrow.
