Consumer Description

DRIVING HOME ON FREEWAY MY NISSAN ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING IN EXCESS OF 65MPH AND BEING THAT ITS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION IT TRIES TO START FROM ROLLING BUT JERKS REAL HARD LIKE THE BRAKES ARE LOCKED UP AND IVE ALMOST WENT OFF THE ROAD 10 TIMES. IVE TRIED CHANGING THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR BUT CANNOT LOCATE IT AND ALL AREA AUTOZONES DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS EITHER. FROM WHAT IVE GOT MY CAR HAS ALREADY BEEN PART OF THE SENSOR RECALL BUT HAS BEEN FAILING FOR THE LAST 2 1/2 YEARS AND RECENTLY BLEW A COIL PACK FROM THE DAMAGED SENSOR. ALSO THE CAR WONT START ON ONE QUICK TURN IN A MILLISECOND LIKE IT USED TO, IT TAKES ABOUT 5 SECONDS OF TURNING OVER TO START EVERYTIME NOW. *TR
