NHTSA Complaint #10536756 — 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER AND ALMOST STALLED. THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, APPROX. 50MPH. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED, THE SES LIGHT AND SLIP LIGHT CAME ON. THIS VEHICLE WAS COVERED BY A RECALL FOR THE ECM THAT CAUSED A SIMILAR ISSUE. THE ECM WAS REPLACED BY A CERTIFIED NISSAN SERVICE CENTER. THE REPLACEMENT WAS DONE 12/29/10. NOW, IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. A BIT OF RESEARCH SHOWS THAT NISSAN HAS ISSUED A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR CAMSHAFT SENSORS THAT CAUSE A VERY SIMILAR PROBLEM. HOWEVER, BECAUSE MY VIN IS NOT CURRENTLY UNDER THAT RECALL, I CAN'T HAVE NISSAN REPLACE THEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER THEN STALLS WHILE TRAVELING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT 50-60 MPH. THAT CAN CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND AFFECT NOT ONLY MYSELF BUT OTHERS. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD EXPAND THEIR RECALL TO INCLUDE NISSAN FRONTIERS, NOT JUST ALTIMA, ETC. NISSAN HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND THEY HAVE OPENED A CASE FILE #[XXX]. NO RESOLUTION HAS BEEN OFFERED BY THEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
