| Defect Summary | Certain passenger vehicles equipped with 2.5l engines may experience excessive engine oil consumption as a result of improper performance of the piston rings. | |||||||||||||||

| Corrective Summary | Dealers will reprogram the electronic control module (ecm or engine computer). your vehicle will also be inspected to determine if it has been consuming engine oil at a higher than normal rate. in a small percentage of vehicles, engine replacement will be needed. on june 9, 2006, nissan notified owners of the possibility of excessive oil consumption and the importance of maintaining the oil at a proper level. follow-up letter to owners advising them of the status of the recall was sent during august 2006. followup letter to owners was sent on november 15, 2006. owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261. | |||||||||||||||

| Defect 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. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | If the interruption in the signal from the crankshaft position sensor is so brief that the electronic control module (ecm) logic does not have time to diagnose the condition, the engine may stop running without warning while the vehicle is driven at a low speed increasing the risk of a crash. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will reprogram the ecm free of charge. certain my 2006 altimas which have been previously remedied under recall campaign 06v223 (nissan r0606) are not included in this recall since the reprogramming for 06v223 also included this reprogramming. the recall began on december 31, 2007. owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261. | |||||||||||||||

| The following complaint is concerning nhtsa campaign # 07v527000 and #06v223000 both of these recalls deal with the automobile i own, a 2006 nissan sentra, which i purchased brand new in may 2006. i have been having major issues out of the crankshaft and camshaft sensors in the vehicle and oil intake over the last 18 months. the car would die while i was driving and became very hard to start as well as the oil intake became excessive. after 3 visits to the dealerships as well as 3 visits to local auto repair shops with only temporary fixes, i was at last informed around mid december 2012 by one of the mechanics at the local shop that there had been a recall on similar vehicles. i looked the information up and was shocked to see there was a recall in 2006 and 2007 on 2006 nissan sentras. after speaking with north american nissan i learned that the recall was vin specific and my car, while being the same make, model, and year as the vehicles recalled, was not included in the recall. i spoke with a regional manager off and on for the next few weeks who informed me in the end there was nothing they could do because the car is out of warranty. i even had a diagnostic ran at the north little rock nissan dealership on december 21, 2012 that states crankshaft, camshaft sensors malfunctioning but in good condition, oil extremely low(which i just had it changed a few months ago), and possible ecm problem...all things stated in the recall. i have looked online and this seems to be an ongoing problem with this specific automobile regardless of vin number. | |||

| I have an 2006 nissan sentra and i bought it used with 3000 miles son it. a couple months later the brakes would squeak and the engine would make ticking sound. i took it in to santa monica nissan 5 times and then the finally fixed the problem. they replaced the brake pads and for a 4 month old car it shouldn't need brakes. the brakes don't make any noise but the engine still makes ticking sound but nissan does the same remedy every time, change the engine belts. apparently that's not working and when i contacted nissan the service representative but i was on hold for 1 hour and then i hung up. nissan needs to know about this. remember the brakes are fne now its just the engine that makes ticking sounds. they beter fix this. *jb | |||
