NHTSA Complaint #10258141 — 2002 NISSAN MAXIMA

I HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT CODES TO A "CAM POSITION SENSOR" PROBLEM. I WAS GOING TO HAVE MY REGULAR MECHANIC REPAIR IT, BUT THEN I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL ON THIS PART. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID TO TAKE IT TO A CERTIFIED NISSAN DEALER AND VERIFY IT WAS A "CAM POSITION SENSOR" CODE. THE DEALER VERIFIED IT WAS.THE DEALER SAID THEIR RECORDS SHOWED THAT PART HAD BEEN REPLACED ONCE BEFORE, BUT NISSAN SAID THE REPAIR WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR THE REPAIR, THE DEALER CALLED ME LATER TO SAY HE COULDN'T REPAIR THE PART BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WAS THE CONNECTOR NOT THE SENSOR. THE COST JUST HAPPENED TO BE THE SAME PRICE AS THE CAM POSITION SENSOR. ($260.00) I FOUND THAT TO BE A VERY COINCIDENTAL. L TOLD THEM NOT TO REPLACE THE CONNECTOR AND I WOULD LIKE TO RESEARCH THE COST OF THE CONNECTOR TO MAKE SURE THEY WEREN'T PULLING THE WOOL OVER MY EYES. TO DATE THE REPAIR HASN'T BEEN MADE. IS THERE A DANGER TO MY WIFE IF SHE DRIVES THIS VEHICLE? I'D LIKE NISSAN TO PAY FOR THE COST OF THE CONNECTOR. MY CASE FILE WITH NISSAN IS # 6381655. THE REPRESENTATIVE I SPOKE WITH WAS MARCUS. HIS EXTENSION AT NISSAN'S 800 PHONE NUMBER IS # 41490. ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PART GOING OUT TWICE? I'D APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME. *TR GREG THOMPSON
