Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2003, NISSAN ALTIMA, 3.5L 6-CYLINDER. CAR HAS 99K MILES. CAR RECENTLY STALLED WITH NO WARNING AFTER WARMING UP. CAR STARTED UP RIGHT AWAY, SO I CONTINUED DRIVING. DEALER DID A DIAGNOSTICS AND FOUND NOTHING. SO I CONTINUED DRIVING AND CAR STALLED (AGAIN WITH NO WARNING) ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE WHILE TRAVELING AT 65 MPH. DEALER NOW DIAGNOSED ISSUE AS A FAILED CAMSHAFT SENSOR, WHICH IS A KNOWN ISSUE, BUT THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO MY 2003 6-CYLINDER ALTIMA. CLEARLY, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THE RECALL MUST BE EXPANDED TO COVER ALL NISSAN ALTIMAS 2002-2003 (AT A MINIMUM). THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE SITUATION. *TR
