I just broke the head off of the bolt that holds the sensor on the engine block. Life sucks right now.

I would like to know why someone would say you have to purchase this only from Nissan? It appears to me that in the last 15 minutes of searching half the people say the new one is plastic and the other half say it's metal? It would make sense to me that the new one be plastic, because the recall is all about this sensor overheating. It only makes sense that NEW plastic one would be less likely to over heat! So, why not just go to Autozone and save yourself $25-$30? I don't think I'd buy a part from someone that screwed it up in the first place? Get a different brand all together.

Funny, the very next site I went to about this said the exact opposite. It's full of people saying that the paid $300 to have nissan fix this issue and they continue to have the same problem. granted it may take a couple years for it to show up. This seems to be the only site that says this? I haven't found anyone saying they continue to have the issue with aftermarket parts? At least not yet. Who makes these sensors? I can bet that there;s peobably only a couple manufacturers out there, and I'm willing to bet all these issues have been addressed.

You could call autozone and ask them to pull one to see if it is metal or plastic. I have been told that they may have some of the new style sensors. Last edited by mpe235; 03-01-2010 at 02:12 PM. |

Which one do you think is the new one? The metal or the plastic?

I should mention the Oreilys" checkers, kragen whatever. Napa and a few others actually mention the issue, so what makes you think they didn't correct the issue right off the bat.

If they have the new style sensor then they are ok to use. If they don't, I wouldn't put it in my car. Nissan tells you that the problem is the sensor overheating but they don't tell you that it causes the epoxy to crack and allow oil to pass through. They also don't tell you that after you have the recall for the ecm reprogram done that is supposed to make the car less sensitive to the overheating sensor actually makes it worse. I have seen several cars that didn't shows any signs of a problem with the sensor but a day or two after having it done they come back with crank sensor codes. In my opinion the recall should also include replacing the sensor with the updated design. I have not had a single car come in with a problem after the new sensor was installed. We replace the old style almost every day. It is VERY common. |

Be sure to clean out the connector when you replace it. If it has any oil in it, it can affect the reading. |

I just changed the crankshaft position sensor on my sister's 2005 Altima 2.5S after getting 2 codes P0335 and P0725. She bought the crankshaft position sensor from Auto Zone which was the new design and now the car is very hard to start. It takes 3 to 4 tries and after resetting the SES light it came back on and I am only getting the P0335 code now. I am not sure if it is a bad sensor or what so I will probably go get a crankshaft position sensor from the dealer in the morning and put it in and see if that works. Has anyone ever heard of this happening?

I have had the same problem. I got the same codes and we just replaced the crank shaft sensor and it is still hard to crank. I am sure we replaced the right one. Any suggestions?
