The 2002 and early 2003 Nissan Altima's had a recall to replace the crank position sensor. The problem caused by the sensor would not allow the vehicle to start or would stall it. When I had my 03 3.5 SE I had to replace the sensor, although I never had a problem. According to this AP article, the government has had 29 more complaints of 03 Altimas that were not originally included in the recall. Nissan said it would fully cooperate in the investigation.

yeah that actually happened to me in my 02 Altima. i had problems starting it and at traffic lights, the car would shut off.
This also happend to my 2004 Altima. Exactly word to word as described. Engine stopped 2 times, fortunately on the low speed.
we had the recall for the crank engine sensor done and lo and behold it happened again except this time it won't start at all. we have an extended warranty (car has 71,000) kmiles on it,and Nissan won't fix it because A-they don't know what is wrong and need prior approval from warranty company, and B- we need to prove maintenance, all the oil changes were done by myself at a local garage, reason being I wanted better oil and heavy duty filters.any suggestions on how to get them to repair the car?
They should definitely fix it in my opinion. I would try another dealer or I would get in touch with Nissan Confusmer Affairs. Their # is 1-800-647-7261
my 2004 Altima also has a bad crank position sensor. is it covered under recall? - rc

We have a 2003 altima 51,000 miles on it. Had the recall on the Electronic Control Module done (when we were having no problems with it at all). Three days later the Service Engine Soon light came on. Took it back to the dealer they put code p0507 down for the problem (bad battery). Husband replaced the battery- light went on again three or four days later. Took it in to a mechanic and he said we need a Throttle Control System P,0507 which cost 593.00 for the parts. What gives? It's going to cost( with our mechanic, I'll never go back to the dealer)
around 800.00 to 900.00 dollars to get fixed.
Car trouble There are so many ways to suffer in this world, but in the United States financial losses seem to be the most popular way to experience loss and sadness. In other countries, which aren’t as materially blessed, ...
