| The following complaint is concerning nhtsa campaign # 07v527000 and #06v223000 both of these recalls deal with the automobile i own, a 2006 nissan sentra, which i purchased brand new in may 2006. i have been having major issues out of the crankshaft and camshaft sensors in the vehicle and oil intake over the last 18 months. the car would die while i was driving and became very hard to start as well as the oil intake became excessive. after 3 visits to the dealerships as well as 3 visits to local auto repair shops with only temporary fixes, i was at last informed around mid december 2012 by one of the mechanics at the local shop that there had been a recall on similar vehicles. i looked the information up and was shocked to see there was a recall in 2006 and 2007 on 2006 nissan sentras. after speaking with north american nissan i learned that the recall was vin specific and my car, while being the same make, model, and year as the vehicles recalled, was not included in the recall. i spoke with a regional manager off and on for the next few weeks who informed me in the end there was nothing they could do because the car is out of warranty. i even had a diagnostic ran at the north little rock nissan dealership on december 21, 2012 that states crankshaft, camshaft sensors malfunctioning but in good condition, oil extremely low(which i just had it changed a few months ago), and possible ecm problem...all things stated in the recall. i have looked online and this seems to be an ongoing problem with this specific automobile regardless of vin number. *tr | |||
