Consumer Description

CAR WAS BEING OPERATED IN NORMAL FASHION WHEN IT THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING DURING NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION. WAS ABLE TO GET CAR OFF OF ROAD SAFELY AND THEN RESTARTED, NOTICED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. TOOK CAR HOME AND CALLED DEALER TO SEE IF THEY COULD INVESTIGATE. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND SAME THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY THERE. THEY INVESTIGATE AND FOUND IT WAS A CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR MALFUNCTION. HAD REPAIRS COMPLETED AND CAR WORKS FINE NOW. I ALSO NOTICED THERE WAS A SIMILAR RECALL TO MODELS LIKE MINE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 03V455000, BUT AFTER CONTACTING NISSAN DIRECTLY, THEY SAID MY VIN WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL. *TR
