NHTSA Complaint #10447202 — 2004 NISSAN SENTRA

ON JAN.30,2012, MY CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING. I WAS GOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 55 MPH AND WITHOUT WARNING MY CAR JUST STALLED. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO COAST OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO START MY CAR. AT FIRST THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON BUT AFTER ABOUT 3 MINS. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. THE INVOICE STATES: RAN THE DIAG TROUBLE TREE. COULD NOT GET THE DTC TO CONFIRM. CHECKED POWERS AND GROUNDS, ALL ARE GOOD. PULLED THE SENSOR AND DID THE INSPECTION AND FOUND THE RESISTANCE TO BE WRONG BETWEEN TERMINAL 2 & 3. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND I APPROVED THE REPAIR. IT COST ME $ 210.00 FOR THE REPAIR. I READ ON THE SAFECAR.GOV WEBSITE WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS HAPPENING TO THE 2.5L MODELS AND WERE RECALLED. MY CAR IS A 1.8L MODEL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUES. I WAS LUCKY THAT THERE WAS NOT ANY OTHER CARS AROUND ME WHEN MY CAR STALLED AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE ROAD. *TR
