Consumer Description

THE CAR STALLED ON MY WHILE I WAS STILL TRAVELING AT 60MPH AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE VEHICLE STARTED DRIFTING TO THE RIGHT FORCING ME TO GET OFF THE ROAD WHERE IT SUDDENLY STOPPED. A LITTLE SCARY DON'T YOU THINK? THE VEHICLE ALSO HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I LATER HAD THE CAR DIAGNOSED AND IT PULLED AN PO340 CODE(CAM POSITION SENSOR, CRANK POSITION SENSOR) WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY RECALLED BY NISSAN ON OCT 04. MY CAR'S MANUFACTURE DATE WAS 12/02. I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT APPARENTLY MY CAR WASN'T UNDER RECALL WHEN A BUNCH OF OTHER WEBSITES(CARS.COM, INTERNETAUTOGUIDE.COM, NHTSA.GOV). I KNOW THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE WHEN MY LIFE WAS IN DANGER AND I OWN 2 OTHER NISSAN CARS, I DON'T GET WHY A COMPANY WOULDN'T CARE ABOUT ITS LOYAL CUSTOMERS. I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT AND LOOKS LIKE THIS ISSUE IS GOING TO RUN ME $1200.00 WHEN PERSONALLY I DON'T KNOW WHY I NEED TO BE PAYING FOR IT WHILE THE SAME CAR HAS A RECALL ON IT AND THE RECALL HAPPENS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM MY CAR HAS. PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE THIS OUT. THANKS FOR READING. *TR
