most of the 2.5liter nissans are being recalled for this problem that your having. Its a problem with a sencer in the motor. 2nd Largest recall in history. They have to replace the motor because the sencer was formed into it when it was made no way to access it once it is put together. CNN had a story about it

 

B.Somers

There are two recalls on 01 and 02 2.5 engines. One concerns engine sensors that take less than an hour to replace.The other involves installing heat shields but more importantly inspecting the catalytic converter for signs of breaking up.If the converter is found to be coming apart inside, there is a chance the engine may be damaged. Otherwise, new shields are installed and the ECM is reprogrammed to prevent futute failure of the catalyst.
Note that these are the canadian recalls.

And american recalls. Had those done and just when you think your done,....you not...got another recall that will cause engine light to come on and stop while driving, pretty similar to other recall....but THEY DONT GIVE U A BRAND NEW ENGINE UNLESS THERE IS VISABLE DAMAGE....4th recall and I've YET to be told i have damage ....HOW DO YOU INSPECT THE RECALL WORK DONE?????

Well I have read these posts about 2.5 Altima's, and yes i have had friends saying that dealers in Canada and States suck from Nissan, so I guess its true. I live in United Arab Emirates (Middle East), and Nissan and Toyota are the most wanted brands here. You will NOT believe the level of service you get here for these two brands, it is simply AMAZING without any doubt. I bought a Nissan Patrol SS last week, and I had a 1998 Nissan Maxima (Infiniti I30 in states). I did 210,000 (yes 210 thousand kms) on it and believe it or not I had NOT ONE problem with it. Regular 5000 km service, oil changes and ... kept it alive, then I sold it cause i needed to buy a 4x4 for work. Maybe because of the dealers here, or because of Nissan's Engineering i dont know. My father has a Land Cruiser on which he has 248,000 kms rite now and it works perfect like new. The service here is amazing really.

But my point anyway is, in 1990 or 1992 when Nissan created its first 3 litre DOHC V6 engine on the Maxima, BMW and Mercedes said officially that they will never be able to create something so sophisticated yet perfect. Nissan won the best V6 engine for nearly 11 consecutive years now.

The point is Nissan is BEST at doing V6 engines (not because i have a Nissan and im protecting it) and if you buy a Nissan with a V6 or a V8, it will never fail with good care, but about 4 cylinder cars from Nissan, ive heard a lot of complaints.

So the next time you buy a Nissan buy it a V6 and im sure you will have no problems with it.
