NHTSA Complaint #10265273 — 2004 NISSAN SENTRA

4 DAYS AGO WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IT JUST SHUT OFF. THE CAR DIED IT JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS GOING 55 MILES AND HOUR. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND OUT OF TRAFFIC. I TRIED RESTARTING THE CAR AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS I WAS ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT THAT POINT. IT THEN WENT LESS THAN A MILE AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO PULL IN AND PARK IT IN A STORE PARKING LOT. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND HAD IT PUT ON THERE MACHINE TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE BATTERY SO I HAD THAT REPLACED. WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT AFTER LEAVING THE REPAIR SHOP THE CAR DIED AGAIN. AT THE SUGGESTION OF MY SISTER I TOOK THE CAR THE NEXT DAY TO A AUTO PARTS STORE THEY PLUGGED IN THE MACHINE TO READ THE CODES IT CAME BACK P0335 THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. I HAD TO ORDER A NEW ONE AND REPLACE IT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS YET TO GO OFF. TODAY WHILE DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM I FIND OUT THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT THE RECALL THAT I KEEP READING ABOUT WHILE DOING THIS RESEARCH. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR AND SCARED TO DRIVE IT WITH MY KIDS IN IT. THE CAR IS A 2004 NISSAN SENTRA SE WITH A 1.8 ENGINE. I HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO ROAD TEST IT TO SEE IF IT WILL CONTINUE TO SHUT OFF NOW THAT THE SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED BECAUSE I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD. I HAVE YET TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING I DOUBT THAT IT HAS BEEN. *TR
