NHTSA Complaint #10597459 — 2005 NISSAN SENTRA

COMMENTS: MY DAUGHTER, [XXX] , OWNED A 2005 NIACIN SENTRY WHICH HAD TO HAVE THE CAM POSITION SENSOR AND CRANK POSITION SENSOR REPLACED ON 4/9/14 AFTER THE CAR QUICK RUNNING WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. SHE WAS IDLING AT A LIGHT, AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING WHEN SHE TRIED TO PROCEED. SINCE THEN, SHE TRADED THE CAR IN. IN RESEARCHING 2005 NIACIN SENTRY RECALLS, THERE IS A RECALL NHTSA REFERENCE #07V527000, WHICH IS FOR THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR ON 2005 NIACIN SENTRY VEHICLES WITH A 2.5L ENGINE. APPARENTLY, HER VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE THIS ENGINE BUT, AMAZINGLY, HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I SPOKE WITH A NIACIN REP, MELODY, WHO JUST REPEATED SOME STANDARD TEXT SHE WAS READING, WHICH DID NOT MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME. IT SEEMS MY DAUGHTER'S NIACIN HAD THE SAME ISSUE AS THAT IN THE RECALL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
