Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On several instances the engine cuts off while driving. major safety concern. eventually, the check engine light came on. took vehicle to dealer, and dealer informed me of recall campaign to reprogram the ecm. also, they found error codes p0725 and p0335. they told me that i had to replace my crank shaft position sensor (at my cost -- this was not part of the recall). after the dealer completed the recall work, the car still stalled that very day on the way home. took the car to my neighborhood mechanic who replaced the crankshaft position sensor. check engine light was cleared by mechanic and has not lit up again, however, the vehicle has stalled while driving again. this sounds very similar to the symptoms which led to the recall of the 2002 nissan altima's. my car was manufactured in december 2002, but was not included in the 2002 recall. the 2003 recall only consisted of reprogramming the ecm -- which did not solve the problem. this is a serious safety concern as the vehicle still cuts out at random times in moving traffic. please investigate -- this is similar to hundreds of other complaints under 2003 nissan altima's that i found reading through the complaints on this website -- please connect the dots and make nissan own up to the problem. *ak
