Consumer Description

MT WIFE'S CAR SUDDENLY DIED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US IT WAS A DEFECTIVE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. IT WAS A $589.00 REPAIR. I KNOW THAT NISSAN HAS HAD OTHER MODEL YEARS WITH RECALLS OVER SENSORS CAUSING SUDDEN ENGINE LOSS. THIS INCIDENT WITH MY WIFE HAPPENED WHILE SHE WAS ENTERING A FREEWAY ON RAMP. SHE AND HER COWORKERS WERE TOWED BACK TO HER OFFICE. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP AND WAS RUNNING FINE. I DROVE IT TO THE SHOP BUT IT SUDDENLY DIED AFTER RUNNING FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES. LUCKILY I WAS ON A SIDE STREET. *TR
