NHTSA Complaint #10747196 — 2006 NISSAN SENTRA

THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO NISSAN SERVICE BULLETIN NTB05-052A. I PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN SENTRA 1.8S AUGUST 26, 2006. THE SUMMER OF 2007 I STARTED EXPERIENCING THE "LONG ENGINE CRANK TIME BEFORE START" ISSUE, AND HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE EVERY SUMMER SINCE (BUT ONLY DURING THE SUMMER). I CURRENTLY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 54,000 MILES ON MY NISSAN AND JUST RECENTLY LEARNED ABOUT THE SERVICE BULLETIN THAT WAS PUT OUT SEPTEMBER 8, 2006. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS BULLETIN ADVISING ME OF WHAT TO DO, EVEN AFTER INQUIRES OF MY ISSUE AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. NISSAN NO LONGER SELLS THE REPAIR KIT (WHICH I'M LEARNING WASN'T A GUARANTEE FIX) AND I WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO BUY A WHOLE NEW FUEL PUMP (THAT NISSAN HAS SUPPOSEDLY REDESIGNED). THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE FUEL PUMP ITSELF, BUT RATHER A "FAULTY" PART INSIDE OF THE FUEL PUMP. NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING "FAULTY" PARTS AND ALSO KEEPING THOSE PARTS AVAILABLE AS LONG AS THAT PARTICULAR YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL VEHICLE ARE ON THE ROAD.
