NHTSA Complaint #10045478 — 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA

WHILE DRIVING, MY 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 S HAS STALLED AND LEFT ME IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC LANES. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 DIFFERENT TIMES (INCLUDING ONCE BEING STALLED ON RAILROAD TRACKS). MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO CO-OPERATE WITH ME, TELLING ME ONE TIME THAT IT WAS THE "CAM SENSOR," ANOTHER I WAS TOLD "THE VEHICLE WAS FLOODED," AND THE LAST TIME I GOT NO ASSISTANCE (INCLUDING NO LOANER VEHICLE!). THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE CAUSED BY MY ACTIONS (AS THOUGH I AM UNABLE TO OPERATE A VEHICLE CORRECTLY). I AM CONSIDERING TAKING LEGAL ACTION, AS THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE FOR ME AND OTHERS AROUND ME. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE LATEST RECALL UNTIL RESEARCHING ONLINE FEW WEEKS AGO (3 MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL WAS ISSUED), I NOW HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THIS SITUATION REMEDIED NEXT WEEK. I HOPE TO GET THE EXCESSIVE USE OF OIL SITUATION SOLVED AS WELL. I AM APPALLED AT THE LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT NISSAN AND THE AFFILIATED NISSAN DEALERSHIPS AFFORD THEIR CLIENTS THAT SHELL OUT UPWARDS OF $25,000 FOR ONE OF THEIR DEATH TRAPS! *LA
