Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY 2004 NISSAN SENTRA (1.8 LITER 4 CYL FUEL INJECTED) AT LOW SPEEDS IT HAS STOPPED RUNNING WITH NO WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES OVER THE LAST 5 MONTHS, WITH THE LAST THREE TIMES HAPPENING IN THE LAST TWO DAYS. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHEN IT'S HAPPENED I'VE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. IF I START THE CAR TOO QUICKLY THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY RESURFACES. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM FOR THE 2004 NISSAN SENTRA WITH A 2.5 LITER ENGINE. THE SAME PROBLEM ALSO OCCURRED IN A FRIEND'S CAR LAST YEAR WHO HAS THE EXACT SAME CAR, BOUGHT AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP, AS MINE. *TR
