Consumer Description

2/11/2009 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT MADE MY 2003 2.5 NISSAN ALTIMA TO STALL DURING AFTERNOON HEAVY TRAFFIC. IRONICALLY, THE VEHICLE WAS STALLED LESS THAN A MILE FROM AN AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALERSHIP, WHICH I UTILIZED REGULARLY. THE OUTCOME INVOLVED REPLACING THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR ASSEMBLY @ A COST OF $288.48. 6/23/2009-CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AGAIN. OUTCOME WAS TO REPLACE THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR @ A COST OF $159.69. 12/9/2009 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AGAIN. OUTCOME DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED INSTALLING A NEW ENGINE, AND INSTALLING A REMANNED TRANSMISSION. I AM LIVID THAT THE ISSUE WAS ALLOWED TO PROGRESS TO THE LEVEL THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN MY VEHICLE STALLED, I BARELY MISSED BEING REAR-ENDED BY A LARGE TRUCK TRAVELING AT LEAST 55-65 MILES PER HOUR. THIS PLACED MY FAMILY AND I IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR
