Consumer Description

JUST AS DOZENS OTHERS HAVE ALREADY FILED AS COMPLAINTS I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE CAMSHAFT/CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR. ORIGINALLY THIS SENSOR WENT BAD IN JUNE, 2008 AT 49,000 MILES. I HAD THE SENSOR REPLACED AND THE ECM REPROGRAMMED ACCORDING RECALL 06V242000. I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND FILED A COMPLAINT AND AFTER SOME BACK AND FORTH THEY AGREED TO COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR (APPROX. $500). ON MARCH 3RD, 2010 AT 70,885 THE CAR WOULD NOT START SO I HAD IT TOWED TO A CERTIFIED REPAIR SHOP WHO DIAGNOSED IT WITH A BAD CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AGAIN. THE REPAIR COST ME $265. CLEARLY THERE IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THESE SENSORS AND REPROGRAMMING THE ECM IS NOT A PROPER FIX. APPARENTLY EVEN REPLACING THE SENSOR ONCE (BY A NISSAN DEALER) DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR POOR CHOICE IN COMPONENTS AND PROVIDE A PERMANENT SOLUTION AND COMPENSATION FOR AFFECTED CONSUMERS. I WILL BE CONTACTING NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AGAIN. *TR
