The Skyline and G35s are essentially the same car. I wish I got a G35 and not the TSX.
This massive recall isn't good for Nissan, and I thought the G35s were relatively trouble free.

Nissan recalls 130,000 SUVs, Cars
Nissan recalls 130,000 SUVs, Cars - - By By CHISAKI WATANABE, Associated Press Writer - - Source: http://news.yahoo.com/s/
TOKYO - Nissan Motor Co. has begun recalling more than 130,000 vehicles globally — including 80,000 in North America — because of an ignition key defect, a company official said Thursday.
There have been no reports of injuries related to the defect, the Transport Ministry said.
Nissan is recalling in Japan of 50,962 X-Trail and Murano sport utility vehicles produced from August 2004 to July 2006, Nissan spokeswoman Madoka Soma said.
Overseas, the Tokyo-based manufacturer is recalling about 70,000 Muranos in North America, 300 in Taiwan and 800 in Singapore, she said. No X-Trails have been sold overseas.
Also being recalled for the same defect are 10,000 Maxima sedans in North America, Nissan said.
Some of the rods connecting the ignition part with parts that start the engine are too long, so the cars sometimes don't start properly, Nissan said. Occasionally, the engines start even when the ignition is turned off and the driver moves the steering wheel, it said.
The recalls involve only models using Nissan's "intelligent keys" with integrated circuit chips inside, which allows drivers to open their car doors with their keys still inside their pockets by just pressing on the handle. Drivers don't need to insert the intelligent key to get the car to start, and can keep the key anywhere nearby.
The defect involved in Thursday's recall is not related to the integrated circuit chip features but to the regular ignition part of the key.
Nissan shares fell 21 yen, or 1.54 percent, to 1,346 yen on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Nissan to Recall 700,000 cars
It’s a massive recall from Nissan, affecting nearly 700,000 cars.
The company says 2002, 2005, and 2006 Altima's and Sentras with 2. 5 liter engines have a faulty sensor, which could cause the car to stall.
There have not been any reports of crashes or injuries, but the problem could cause the engine to stop running without warning.
Owners should take their cars to dealers for repair.

They claim to have "fixed" the transmission issues back in 03 which is why some TL and CL's aren't covered under the 109k warranty, but when you see some members on their 3rd or 4th transmissions, you know that's not the case...
At least Nissan is doing the right thing and addressing the issue, and not try to sweep it under the rug like H/A...
Nissan for FTMFW !! It's nice to a company take the public relations hit and do the right thing...

But that goes to show that recalls don't matter much because at least the company is trying (or obligated) to do right by fixing a known problem rather than sweeping it under a rug like Honda did for several years before finally issuing a recall. I can picture a line of customers coming in because their trannies failed before Honda issued a recall, and each time the customer gets up to the counter the service tech goes, "Hmm, that's the first I heard of a Honda tranny failing!"
I'd be more worried if there was a known widespread problem and the automaker didn't issue a recall.

It's because those Altimas are manufactured in TN and aren't the Sentras also made there? Those TN people need to stop slacking!
I was thinking still of the Rogue and Murano, hmmm maybe I'll just stick to Nissan's luxury division instead, Infiniti.

so does that mean Nissan has been hiding this for almost 6 years? I don't know..but they had that problem since the 2002 model year (2001)...if so..isn't that "sweeping it under a rug" as well?
IMO engine stalling all of a sudden is just as scary as sudden downshift at hwy speeds...
