NHTSA Complaint #10266311 — 2003 NISSAN MAXIMA

MY 2003 MAXIMA STALLED OUT TWICE WHILE DRIVING, ONCE WHILE AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION DURING RUSH HOUR. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT NISSAN HAD RECALLED THE 2003 MAXIMAS FOR A FAULTY CAM SENSOR THAT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO STALL. HOWEVER, IN TYPICAL FASHION, NISSAN TOLD ME THAT MY VIN DID NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL AND THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP INFORMED HIM THAT THE PART WAS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AND HE COULD NOT REPAIR MY VEHICLE. IN THE MEANTIME, I COULD POSSIBLY BE IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF FAULTY MANUFACTURING. MY MECHANIC ALSO INFORMED ME THAT NISSAN HAS CHANGED THE PART NUMBER, MEANING THAT THE PART IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, WHICH PROVES THAT MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY NISSAN. *TR
