NHTSA Complaint #10882163 — 2003 NISSAN MURANO

ON 6/15/15, WHILE ON HIGHWAY MY CAR STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. STARTED UP AFTER FEW ATTEMPTS. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINED ON. I SCANNED FOR ERROR CODE AND I'VE GOT P0340 (CRANK POSITION AND/OR CAMSHAFT SENSOR(S)). ON 6/26/15 I TOOK THE CAR TO HILTON HEAD NISSAN DEALER IN HARDEEVILLE, SC - THEY SCANNED IT POSITIVE FOR CODE P0340(CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT FAILURE) AND THEY REPLACED THE TWO SENSORS. THEY NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT NISSAN RECALL FOR SENSORS (NHTSA #03V4550000). I FOUND TODAY ABOUT THIS RECALL AND CALLED NISSAN DEALER ON 6/27/16 - THEY TOLD ME THE CAR IS TO OLD TO APPLY THE RECALL, DESPITE THE FACT THAT NISSAN MURANO 2003 IS SPECIFIED ON THE RECALL AND DESPITE HAVING THE SAME COMPLICATION IDENTIFIED BY NISSAN AND NHTSA WHICH NECESSITATED THE RECALL. IN ADDITION, LETTER WRITTEN BY THE TECHNICAL COMPLIANCE DEPARTMENT OF NISSAN TO THE NHTSA, DATED 12/4/03, CLEARLY STATES THAT MY CAR IS INCLUDED IN THE LIST OF RECALLED VEHICLES. NO UPDATED LETTER OR OTHER PUBLIC INFORMATION FOUND STATING THAT CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE CAR REPAIRED. THIS IS A GROSS SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM NOT CLEAR AS TO WHY THEY REFUSED TO SERVICE MY VEHICLE AS PER THE RECALL AND I HAD TO PAY FOR SENSORS REPLACEMENT. PLEASE ADDRESS. THANK YOU. *TR
