NHTSA Complaint #10325241 — 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA

WE OWNED A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE STARTED JERKING AND THEN STOPPED RUNNING. VEHICLE WAS TAKING TO MECHANIC, AND MECHANIC SAID PROBLEM WAS WITH DEFECTIVE CRANKSHAFT SENSORS. WE COMMUNICATED THIS INFORMATION TO DEALERSHIP, WHO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE WAS DEFECTIVE CRANKSHAFT SENSORS RECALL, BUT THAT OUR VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. CRANKSHAFT SENSORS WERE CHANGED. NEW PARTS WERE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM THE OLD ONES (TOTALLY NEW REDESIGN) CAR HAD ABOUT 60,000 MILES WHEN INCIDENT OCCURRED. *TR
