Consumer Description

ON APRIL 28TH 2011, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY 2003 NISSAN MAXIMA SE VEHICLE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND AN ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS VERY LUCKY THERE WAS A POLICE OFFICE A FEW CARS BEHIND ME TO STOP TRAFFIC OTHERWISE I AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT BY A HAIR! NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED. AN ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC REPORT LATER INDICATED THE A P0340 AND P1564 CODE WHICH IS RELATED TO THE CRANK SHAFT AND CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORS. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 63215 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I CALLED NISSAN AFTER AN ONLINE SEARCH INDICATED THEY HAD A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM BUT WHEN I CALLED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA INC TO GET APPROVAL FOR THE RECALL FIX, THEY GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND. *TR
