Known issues on the 2005 Altima. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers aftermarket TYC halogen headlamp assemblies sold for the Altima whose misaligned photometrics reduce frontal illumination and raise crash risk. The second covers the crankshaft position sensor on 2.5L-equipped cars, which can overheat and briefly interrupt its signal to the ECM, causing the engine to stall without warning at low speed. Owners have filed 1091 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind both systems are here.
Whether you're chasing a stall tied to the crankshaft sensor or verifying headlamp aim, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2005 Altima.
