NHTSA Complaint #10283296 — 2002 NISSAN SENTRA

OUR 2002 1.3L ENGINE NISSAN SENTRA SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS LEFT THE CAR UNCONTROLLABLE AND UNRESPONSIVE. POWER STEERING WAS IMPAIRED AND SAFE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE WAS COMPROMISED. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE ECM CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WAS IDENTIFIED AS "MIS-READING" THE CONDITION OF THE CAR. IT TURNS OUT THAT THIS INCIDENT IS IDENTICAL TO THE FAILURE OF THE 2002 2.5L NISSAN SENTRA CRANKSHAFT SENSOR UNDER RECALL 07V527000. OUR CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL, THOUGH THE PART, SYSTEM, AND FAILURE ARE THE SAME. THIS ISSUE WILL BE FIXED AT MY EXPENSE INITIALLY, BUT THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE MANY SAFETY ISSUES AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR
