2006 nissan altima, bought new, consumes oil with no visible leaks. Oil must be added every week to keep adequate levels in engine. Dealership says the only way to fix the problem is to put in a new engine when this one finally fails. This is not an acceptable answer to this problem. *tr

Just had to replace a faulty crankshaft position sensor on my 2006 nissan. I see that there were two prior nhtsa campaigns about this part, but apparently my vin was not covered under them. Appear to be many complaints about this part from vehicles not under original campaigns. Had same issues as others - vehicle would not start and almost stalled several times while driving. *tr

My brand new 2006 nissan altima 2.5s consumes oil little by little. First noticed around 35,000 miles until present. I add oil after 1,500 miles around 100-150ml. I do my oil changes 100-200miles before it's due of 3,000 miles from the very beginning, took a good care of the car and now i'm getting this kind of trouble. I've no doubt i got a defective unit.
