I was recently contacted via phone that my Nissan altima may be part of a national recall from Nissan motors usa.

The service manager assured me that the service department would run a series of test and it shouldn't take longer than a day to finish. As a result I brought my car in on a monday morning, and guess what? It's still there. It's been three days. End of the first day, he told me it's a huge recall and a lot of test needs to be run.

The crank shaft sensor went out last evening. I was driving the 2006 Nissan altima at 35mph when the power seemed to slow, I pushed the gas and nothing was happening, and immediately it returned to normal power, though this occurrence turned on the check engine light.

I have been losing oil for a couple of years now and I just kept putting it in about once a month. Nobody could find out where it was coming from. I kept asking at oil changes.

Well, they fixed it and I noticed it sounded like it was out of oil again. So I took it right back and asked if they had put oil in it and why it was sounding the way it is. I thought it was using oil because it was in need of a tune up. They took it back in and it was already down a quart. He lifted it and found the oil cool had a hole in it.

Afterwards, he told me that the shift lock control unit needs to be replaced, he couldn't explain to me why the car just up and started to act up or what leads to that.
