NHTSA Complaint #10268309 — 2002 NISSAN SENTRA

2002 NISSAN SENTRA, 73000 MILES. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED-- AND HAVE PUMPED OUT LESS THAN 800 MILES BEFORE THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED TO ME. BASICALLY, THE CAR STALLS OUT, HAS LOW ACCELERATION BEFORE PARKING. HERE'S THE KICKER--- THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS EVERY WEEK... BUT NOT EVERYDAY. I TOOK THIS CAR TO THE BFIT A LOCAL CAR UNIVERSITY-- WHO LOOKED AT THE CAR INSIDE AND OUT... THEY NOTED THAT I SHOULD REPLACE THE MAST AIR HEAD FOR $600 WHICH I DID. BUT LESS THAN A DAY LATER-- SAME PROBLEM.. THE CAR STALLS OUT. I DECIDED THEN I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING... I NEED A NEW MAST-HEAD! I TOLD THEM I HAVE A NEW MASTHEAD-- AND THEY SAID THEY WILL JUST "CLEAR OUT THE COMPUTER CODES." GUESS WHAT? A WEEK LATER THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF DOWNTOWN BOSTON TRAFFIC. THE BEAUTY OF THE PROBLEM, THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY IF YOU TURN OFF AND TURN BACK THE MACHINE ON. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AT THIS POINT, THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT AS THEY KEPT IT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 1 AND A HALF WEEKS. BUT I KNOW THE PROBLEM: HTTP://WWW.ACTIVETUNING.COM/BLOG2/2006/02/28/NISSAN-ALTIMA-CRANK-SENSOR-RECALL-BEING-REVIEWED/ HELP== A NATIONAL RECALL MUST OCCUR BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR
