NHTSA Complaint #10421493 — 2002 NISSAN MAXIMA

PROBLEM RELATED TO CAM POSITION SENSORS (CAM SHAFT SENSOR AND POSSIBLY VIAS SENSORS). THIS INTERMITTENT FAILURE, CAUSES THE CAR TO BUCK. OFTEN THIS WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO STALL. THIS ISSUE IS PROMINENT WITH A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF NISSAN MAXIMA 2002 OWNERS AS WELL AS A NUMBER OF ADDITIONAL NISSAN YEARS AND MODELS (MURANO, ALTIMA). THE FREQUENCY OF THE ISSUE OCCURRING FOR NISSAN OWNERS AS WELL AS THE SEVERITY - STALLS HAVE OCCURRED FOR ME US AT ANY TIME INCLUDING MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION AND ALSO ON THE HIGHWAY RESULTING IN SOME VERY CLOSE CALLS AND POTENTIAL UPCOMING ACCIDENTS. NISSAN'S NEGLIGENCE IN RECALLING AND FIXING THIS PROBLEM, IS LIKELY TO LEAD TO ACCIDENTS AND LOSS OF LIFE. THE NISSAN DEALER HAS NOT RESPONDED TO MY DIRECT REQUESTS TO PLEASE FIX THE ISSUE AS THEY WILL ONLY DO THIS IF NISSAN ISSUES A RECALL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS, THIS IS AN EXTREMELY FREQUENT AND EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR NISSAN OWNERS. PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE AT RISK IF THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED AND THIS IS THE AVENUE THAT THE NORTHEAST NISSAN REP SAID I NEED TO TAKE TO START THE RECALL PROCESS. *TR
