NHTSA Complaint #10616274 — 2002 NISSAN XTERRA

THE DISTRIBUTOR HAS BALL BEARINGS UNDER THE SOLENOID AND PHOTO FOR CAM SENSOR THAT COMES APART AND GOES EVERY WHERE INTERNALLY. IT CAUSED ME TO GO OFF THE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY A TRUCKER WHEN IT COMPLETELY STOPPED MY CAR WITH OUT WARNING OF ANY KIND ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE WAS NO SENSOR INDICATOR UNTIL I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND IT ONLY REGISTERED THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OF AN ON TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. IT ALMOST CAUSED MY WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO BURN OUT AS WELL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND PULL THE MATERIAL CERTIFICATIONS AND BUILDS OF MATERIAL FOR THE INTERNAL ITEMS OF THIS, ESPECIALLY THE BALL BEARING THAT CAME APART. THIS IS THE MOST COMMON MALFUNCTIONING ITEM ON THIS MODEL AND YEAR. I'M AN INDUSTRIAL AND BUILD INSPECTOR AT CENTURY FASTENERS CORP. PLEASE REVIEW THIS AS IT COULD BE FATAL TO SOME ONE WHO DOSE NOT KNOW HOW TO CONTROL A SITUATION LIKE THIS. PLEASE AND THANK YOU,[XXX] 2002 NISSAN XTERRA AND ALL RELATED MODEL ENGINES.
