Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Altima 2006 w/ 3.5l engine/ auto trans. car was making a loud roar type noise heard at idle from inside the car for about a week and an appointment was made at the dealer to get it checked out. the night before it went in for service, the car got stuck in 5th gear while sitting at a light and stalled. car was restarted and proceeded to stay in 5th gear. the problem went away overnight and was ok driving to the service center. we picked up the car and it was "fixed". we were told it was a bad fuel pulsar thing. the noise went away, however the stalling and gear sticking did not. the car went back in and this time they told us it was a bad camshaft positioning sensor. i explained to the service mgr that the camshaft has nothing to do with the transmission. he insisted this was the problem and the car was "fixed" once again. guess what, the car stalled and stuck in 5th gear that evening. back to the shop !!... this time on a tow truck. i told them to keep the car as long as needed until it is fixed. they tell us that the car is "fixed" once again. this time they say the entire computer is no good and needs to be replaced. i'll pick up the car on monday. lets see if it is "fixed" now. i guess i should be happy to not be stuck with a 2.5l oil burner- fire trap. *tr
