THE CAR HAD A RECALL PERFORMED ON 08/02/2011 TO REPLACE CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORS, THE CAR RAN PERFECTLY BEFORE THE SAID RECALL. THE MENTIONED RECALL ALSO INCLUDED AN EARLIER RECALL WHICH WAS INEFFECTIVE. SOME TIME AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED THE CAR WOULD STALL INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT TRIGGERING A CODE. FINALLY THE STALLING TRIGGERED A CODE ON 01/29/13 WHICH WAS A CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CODE WAS TRIGGERED BUT DENIED THAT IT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE STALLING PROBLEM AND RETURNED THE CAR WITH THE INTERMITTENT STALLING CONDITION WITHOUT A DIAGNOSES. EVENTUALLY THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BAD CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND REPAIRED ON 11/08/2013 AFTER TWO MORE VISITS TO THE DEALER AND NUMEROUS CALLS TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. THIS WAS VERY SAME CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR INSTALLED BY THE RECALL #R3022 WHICH WAS BAD AND IN EFFECT RENDERS RECALL #R3022 (NISSAN)...
THE RADIATOR CORE SUPPORT IS RUSTING AND HAS LEAD TO A LARGE HOLE ON THE BOTTOM. THE ENGINE BRACE IS MOUNTED WHERE THE RUST IS FORMING. IF THE RUST FORMS BAD ENOUGH AROUND THE BOLTS THE ENGINE COULD FALL DOWN. ALSO THE HOOD LATCH IS CONNECTED THE BOTTOM OF THE CORE SUPPORT. IF THIS FAILS THE RUST CAN CAUSE THE HOOD TO OPEN WHILE DRIVING. *TR
THIS MAX HAD THE TRANSVERSE LINK RECALL PERFORMED IN 9/02. AT THIS TIME, THE LEFT AXLE WAS NOT PROPERLY PLACED BACK IN THE TRANSMISSION. WE TOOK THE CAR BACK SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY KEPT BLOWING US OFF. FINALLY, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN THE MOBILE TUNNEL AND THE TRANS WENT OUT ALONG WITH THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION. NISSAN REPAIRED THE VEHICLE BUT IT STILL DRIVES LIKE A PIECE OF JUNK. THESE GUYS ARE RIDICULOUS AND NEED TO BE DEALT WITH SERIOUSLY. I HAVE SINCE FILED SUIT BUT WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP.
