NHTSA Complaint #10431132 — 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA

UNDER NHTSA ID NUMBER 07V527000. ON 07/20/11 I HAD A SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT COME ON. CAR WAS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY, SO WE TOOK IT TO KEN GANLEY NISSAN FOR SERVICE. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT APPEARED ON NHTSA ID 07V52700 FOR THE 2.5 ENGINE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. THE DEALER STATED THIS VEHICLE WAS NO ON THE RECALL LIST. SINCE THIS IS THE SAME FAILURE THAT WAS TO BE RECALLED, WHY WAS I CHARGED $315.22 FOR REPAIRS? IT APPEARS TO ME THAT NISSAN DID NOT TAKE CARE OF ALL THE RECALLED VEHICLES, BUT PICKED AND CHOSE ONLY CERTAIN ONES TO REDUCE THEIR EXPENSES. IT DISTORTS THE PURPOSE OF A RECALL PROCESS.
