NHTSA Complaint #10668053 — 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA

I WENT TO ACCELERATE AND CAR, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY IT JUST GAVE OUT. IT WAS STILL RUNNING BUT AS I HIT GAS IT WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STARTED RUNNING VERY ROUGH SO I PULLED OVER AND TURNED ENGINE OFF. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS, AND WAS TOLD I NEED WHOLE NEW MOTOR DUE TO THE FACT THE CAMSHAFT BROKE. NOW THIS IS A PART I AM BEING TOLD THAT SHOULD NOT BREAK AND IT MUST BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I WAS TOLD TO CHECK AND SEE IF ANY RECALLS HAVE BEEN PUT OUT ON CAMSHAFT. I DID AND THERE HAVE NOT BEEN. I AM FILING COMPLAINT BECAUSE I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. I NOW HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET (EST. IS OVER $4,800!!!!) FOR REPAIRS DONE TO MY CAR FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKE IN THE FIRST PLACE. AND BY THE CAMSHAFT BREAKING IT CAUSED A LIST OF OTHER MAJOR DAMAGE TO MY ENGINE, WHICH IS WHY I NEED TO REPLACE IT! *TR
