Consumer Description

ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO MY CAR STARTED ACTING UP THEN SHUTTING DOWN. AT FIRST IT STALLS WHILE I SLOW DOWN ON STOP SIGNS, WHILE TURNING, BASICALLY AT LOW RPM. THAT'S WHEN MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP. THEN I GOT THAT CHECKED AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR WAS BAD. SO, I GOT IT REPLACED. AFTER THAT MY OXYGEN SENSOR BURNT OUT, GOT THAT REPLACED FOR $1K. EARLIER LAST WEEK MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR IS BURNT OUT AND I SAID, "AGAIN!!" THERE'S GOT TO BE SOME THING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE IF IT BURNT OUT TWICE, ALL THEY SAID WAS "WELL, THERE'S NO RE-CALL FOR IT". ALMOST COST ME MY LIFE PLENTY OF TIMES OVER FOR THIS PROBLEM. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE WITH THIS ESPECIALLY THERE'S A LOT OF 2003 ALTIMA OWNERS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THIS CAN'T BE COINCIDENTAL. *TR
