Consumer Description

NISSAN 2004 SENTRA 1.8S HAD THE IDENTICAL ISSUE AS THE 2.5 LITER ENGINE THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED. AFTER DRIVING FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES ON THE HIGHWAY EVERY SENSOR LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AND THE CAR TURNED OFF INCLUDING POWER STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OFF TO THE SHOULDER AND SAFELY STOP THE CAR. THE CAR DID NOT APPEAR TO OVERHEAT AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS IN THE ACCEPTABLE RANGE SO I LET THE CAR SIT FOR TWO MINUTES AND I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN BEFORE CALLING AAA. THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP AND ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY MECHANIC AND THE CODE CAME BACK CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT I WAS DRIVING LATE AT NIGHT AND NOT DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. A FAULTY SENSOR SHOULD NOT CAUSE A COMPLETE SHUT DOWN OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
