| My vehicle stopped running on a highway almost causing a severe deadly crash. when i had the car looked at by my mechanic it was determined it was the crank shaft sensor. my mechanic replaced the crank shaft sensor and the car is now fine. upon investigation i found that their was a recall on 2003 nissan altima's for the sensor. i contacted nissan and was told that my vin was not part of the recall. obviously their selection criteria is incorrect since my car was impacted by this recall. i asked nissan to include my vin and pay for the replacement of the sensor and was told not since my car was over 7 years old and had more then 100,000 miles. i am sure their are other 2003 altimas with this issue and it can be fatal. nissan needs to correct this in all 2003 altima's. furthermore i want nissan to reimburse me the 200.00 dollars i incurred for the replacement of the crank shaft sensor. *tr | |||

| While driving on the street and about to turn the car suddenly stopped running while driving. since i was in the middle of a busy intersection, another driver came to help, he asked what happened, i said i don't know. he got into my car, shifted to park and started it. weird i said, and forgot about the incident until months later happened again, then months later again, the service engine soon light never came on so even i took the car for service and asked about the issues, it was never detected, but i kept complaining to my mechanic every month, replaced batteries each year thinking i had a power problem. i learned about the real problem because this last time it happened on 07/03/12, the help came from someone who knows about cars and he told me about the recall on the crank & cam sensors. i took the car to the nearest nissan and, yes, that is exactly the problem with my car!. but they said because i didn't service and didn't buy the car from an authorized dealer and my car isn't on the list they won't fix it. the cost isn't the problem i told them, the fact the car came out of your factory defective should be your responsibility to correct it, never the less your responsibility to recall all units with the problem not just a few. i am taking the car to them to fix the problem right now and pay for the repair because i have a 4 months old baby and i don't want to be hit by another car when my car stops running in the middle of the street but i do want help and have them be responsible for reimbursing me on the cost of the repair and recall all and every single unit involved with this issue. nissan corporate (yes, i called them too) will not take any responsibility on the case either. *tr | |||
