When i drive the vehicle, the engine light constantly pops on and off the car consumes a large amount of oil each week, i have to check the oil and keep a case of oil with the filter in my truck to constantly fill it up. The car drains gas like crazy, and it's slow and driving and sluggish. The car has cut off on me in the middle of driving where i had to spend over $500 to get it repaired.

The vehicle threw a code for the camshaft sensor had that replaced then the vehicle threw a code for the crankshaft sensor. Midas replaced two of them still could not clear the code. The vehicle will start in drive but it will sputter while stopped like it is going to stall. When slowing down or coming to a stop the car will shut off and is very difficult to get started again.

Crankshaft sensor is bad causing the car to stall at any time - even at high speeds. It has happened while driving slowly through a neighborhood as well as on an interstate causing the car to be difficult to steer to get off the road. This is very dangerous! Check engine light came and computer says that its the crankshaft/camshaft sensor that needs replacing.

The car speed was back to normal.

My car was previously serviced for a campaign posted on your website, but the problem was not fixed. I should be entitled to have this problem re worked and fixed. The problem is that the car stalls out without warning, creating a dangerous situation. It stalls out while driving and while idle.

In both accidents, within 30 days of each other, the car was stopped, in park once and in neutral the other. When the engine was turned on by me and put into drive gear, it suddenly lunged forward at tremendous speed, without my foot touching the accelerator, colliding with the another vehicle. I reported it to nissan service at the time. They said there was no problem and didn't put it in their service report.…

I had coolant service and after that i started experiencing low levels of coolant which led to overheating of car. I kept getting the car check to find out if there were leaks.

I then had sensors replaced (crankshaft and speed) . Now i'm being…

I have a 2006 nissan altima, that is constantly 5-7 mph off. I am getting concerned because this is a hazard as i have been asked by the local city police for me to pick up my speed a little as i am restraining the flow of traffic by driving at or below what i believe is the speed limit. Also, i am really concerned since the factory tells you to use a certain size of tire, with me using their recommendation, this…
