Consumer Description

WE PURCHASED A 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA, AFTER MAKING A STOP ON THE WAY HOME, 3 HOURS AWAY, THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. WE WERE STATIONARY IN A RESIDENTIAL PARKING LOT. HAD IT TOWED TO A CERTIFIED NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA AND IT WAS DETERMINED IT WAS THE CRANKSHAFT/CAMSHAFT POSITIONING SENSORS. NISSAN WOULD NOT HONOR THE RECALL BECAUSE OUR ALTIMA HAS THE 3.5 V6. APPARENTLY THE RECALL IS ONLY FOR THE 4CYL. WELL GUYS, THE SENSORS IN THE V6S DON'T WORK EITHER. SO AFTER PAYING THE $1,068.17 REPAIR COST AND MULTIPLE TRIPS BACK AND FORTH TO NORTHERN VIRGINIA (IF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN THERE YOU KNOW TRAFFIC IS HORRIBLE) WE FINALLY BROUGHT THE CAR HOME. BAD BUSINESS!!
