Crankshaft position sensor same thing is happening to the 2005 summary: 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.

I recently had my 2005 nissan altima in the shop for and oil change & front brake replacement. The tech reported a rust issue on the drivers & passenger side floor pans. He got a nearby body shop to give a repair quote, which is ~$700. I took a look under the car myself & was shocked to find floor rust ~18" x 9" on passenger & driver floor boards. The rust holes are almost identical. There are no other rust spots on…

A mechanic, during an unrelated repair, reported he could see carpet from the underneath my car and upon further inspection discovered two holes in the floorboards on the drivers and passengers sides (front seat). I took this in for an estimate and it will cost $700-1000 to repair. This is a defect in the manufacturer's design...these floorboards should not rust completely through like this. I have children and am…

So besides the fact that my floor board on my drivers side has a huge hole in it, the crankshaft position sensor has cause me enough problems to where i believe nissan should be responsible for fixing this issue. The vehicle idles rough, when accelerating it feels like the car is about to shut off, and the check engine light will not go off no matter how many times you change the sensor. I've had mine changed four…

Car was in shop for front end suspension and technician pointed out rust holes under both the passenger and driver seats. This seems to be a defect in the manufacturing of the body, and was looking to see if there is a recall. Could cause potential dangerous situation if object in road is hit and comes up under the undercarriage.

The engine shut off for no reason. I went to autozone and got the engine code and it is for can shaft position sensor. I browsed internet and this seems a common problem

I had been aware there there was some rust on the driver's side floor pan. My altima was recently taken to my mechanic and put on the lift for some maintenance and my mechanic took pictures to show me how extensive the rust had become. A significant portion of the floor under the driver's feet is missing and a large piece of metal is hanging down. The mechanic also noticed that the passenger side now has a small…

I immediately called nissan and they told me…

I took my 2005 nissan altima into my local mechanic for an oil change and he informed me that my floor boards (on both sides)were so badly rusted out that he could see and feel my carpet from underneath. He also informed me that this was a safety issue and my car would not pass inspection. There is no rust on the body of my car so its disturbing to me that in a 2005 vehicle it can be that badly rusted underneath. *tr

The entire floor in front of the front seats is completely rusted through to the point that you can see the road underneath the car. Ever since i purchased the vehicle the floor had holes in it (found right after i had already bought the vehicle). This is a hazard for the passengers, very common amongst nissan altimas and should be addressed by the manufacturer. This issue makes the car unsellable since it will…

While driving the clutch pedal will loose all pressure and will fall to the floor. The vehicle must be shut off and left prior the pressure building back up in the clutch. This is extremely dangerous as the driver is unable to shift gears or put the vehicle in neutral. This is a notorious problem with all nissan altima se-r with manual gear boxes. This problem will cause an accident and get someone killed. Tt
