2004 NISSAN SENTRA SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. HAPPENED 2 TIMES WITHIN AN HOUR WHILE THE A/C WAS RUNNING, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE IN DRIVE AND PHYSICALLY MOVING. SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT APPEARED AND CURRENTLY DISPLAYS CODE P0335: CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL FOR SOME NISSAN SENTRA FOR THIS EXACT SITUATION, BUT NOT FOR MY 2004 AND I HIGHLY SUGGEST THIS IS RECONSIDERED BECAUSE THIS ISSUE IS AFFECTING MANY PEOPLE.

THE ENGINE STALLED DUE TO A FAILED CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND/OR CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WHILE DRIVING I TRIED STARTING CAR AGAIN AFTER 4-5 MINUTES STARTED, AND ENGINE STALLED AGAIN AFTER 20-25 MINUTES THEN I STARTED CAR AGAIN AFTER 15-20 MINUTES AND IT STARTED. I THINK THESE SENSORS CAN FAIL INTERMITTENTLY AS THEY WARM WITH THE ENGINE. SENSORS ON CERTAIN MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED BY NISSAN AND WILL BE REPLACED AS NECESSARY BUT I'M NOT SURE WHY MY WIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL WHILE I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

MY CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING. I WAS GOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 45 MPH AND WITHOUT WARNING MY CAR JUST LOST POWER & STOPPED. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO COAST OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. I WAS ON AN 8-LANE VERY BUSY ROAD IN A MIDDLE LANE. AT THE FIRST MOMENT, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THEN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS AND THE CAR STOPPED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED. WHEN THE MECHANIC PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER IT SAID THAT THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR & CAMSHAFT SENSOR WAS THE PROBLEM. IT COST ME $ 376.00 FOR THE REPAIR. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSANS. I READ ONLINE WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS HAPPENING TO MY MODEL AND THERE WAS A RECALL OF SOME. MY CAR IS A 1.8 MODEL, BUT NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TOLD ME MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE EXACT MALFUNCTION HAPPENED TO MY CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! I WAS LUCKY THAT THERE WAS NOT ANY OTHER CARS AROUND ME WHEN MY CAR STALLED AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE RETAINED THE FAULTY PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED FOR EXAMINATION. I WAS OUT OF TOWN AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT. *TR

DROVE THE 2004 NISSAN SENTRA 1.8L ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60MPH AND THE CAR BEGAN TO DECREASE SPEED TO ABOUT 30 TO 40MPH WITH RPM METER FLUCTUATIONS WHILE PRESSING ON THE GAS WITH SAME PRESSURE. ON THE SAME DAY THE CAR SHUT OFF MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER STARTING IT FOR A MINUTE. PREVIOUSLY ON 2 OCCASIONS WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE IDLING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON FOR AWHILE BUT WOULD PERIODICALLY TURN OFF. TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN AFTER THE HIGHWAY INCIDENT AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE CAM POSITION SENSOR AND CRANK SENSOR. WHEN ASKED ABOUT RECALLS NISSAN SAID MY CAR WAS NOT LISTED UNDER THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. HAD TO PAY $730 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WHILE AFTER READING OTHER PEOPLE'S COMPLAINTS FOR THIS MODEL AND OTHER MODEL COMPLAINTS IT APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE TAKEN A LOOK AT TO INCLUDE IN THE RECALL. *TR

I PURCHASED A VEHICLE FOR 4000 DOLLARS AND ON THE ODOMETER IT SAID IT HAD 75,000 MILES AND THE STICKER SAID 69,204. WE THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD DEAL AND INVESTMENT SO WE TOOK IT. SO THIS MAN AND WHOEVER WHO WORKS WITH TEXAS AUTO TRADING INC GOT THE TITLE AND STICKER FOR ME. I NEVER SIGNED ANYTHING AND A FEW DAYS LATER THE CAR STARTED SHOWING 176,00 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THEN ON AUGUST 5, 2013 I CALLED THE INDIVIDUAL JESUS TO ASK FOR THE TITLE AND HE SAID HE HAD GOTTEN IT WITH 10 MORE THAT WERE LATE I ASKED HIM WHY TO HIS ADDRESS AND HE BLAMED SOMEONE ELSE WHENI GAVE HIM MY ADDRESS SEVERAL TIMES. SO IT'S REGISTERED TO HIS HOME. SO I WENT TO GET THE TITLE READ IT HAD 180,000 MILES. SO NONE OF THE INFO WAS RIGHT AND ON CARFAX AND AUTO CHECK IT HAS DIFFERENT INFO SHOWING PROOF OF TAMPERING WITH ODOMETER ON VEHICLE AND TITLE AND STATE INSPECTION. NO EVIDENCE IS ON THE REPORTS OF THE STATE INSPECTION STICKER BEING MADE ON 11/21/12. I CALLED THE LOCAL MESQUITE POLICE AND THEY SAID THE SELLER JESUS HAD SAID "HE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE CAR AND HE BOUGHT IT THAT WAY." I WAS NEVER INFORMED AND I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THESE EVASIVE PEOPLE WHO WILL NOT GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK OR WANT TO DISCLOSE HIS LAST NAME OR ANYTHING. I LOOKED AT THE REPORTS ON AUTO CHECK AND CAR FAX AND AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE IT HAD MORE MILES ON IT. I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO DEAL WITH THIS CONSUMER FRAUD AND I WANT MY MONEY BACK. I CAN'T SELL OR DO ANYTHING WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE ALL INFO IS FALSE AND I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S FAIR FOR ME OR ANYONE TO HAVE TO PAY THE BURDEN OF ALL THESE AND MORE EXPENSES. THEY BUY CARS AND RESELL THEM AND I HOPE NO ONE ELSE HAS TO DEAL WITH THIS THIS ODOMETER FRAUD. *TR

I THOUGHT I BOUGHT A GOOD CAR AND NOW I KNOW BETTER AND MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY IS IN DANGER WITH THIS CAR IT IS NOT SAFE AND I WAS LIED TO. COMPLETE FRAUD ON THE ODOMETER AND MORE. *TR

ON JAN.30,2012, MY CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING. I WAS GOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 55 MPH AND WITHOUT WARNING MY CAR JUST STALLED. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO COAST OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO START MY CAR. AT FIRST THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON BUT AFTER ABOUT 3 MINS. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. THE INVOICE STATES: RAN THE DIAG TROUBLE TREE. COULD NOT GET THE DTC TO CONFIRM. CHECKED POWERS AND GROUNDS, ALL ARE GOOD. PULLED THE SENSOR AND DID THE INSPECTION AND FOUND THE RESISTANCE TO BE WRONG BETWEEN TERMINAL 2 & 3. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND I APPROVED THE REPAIR. IT COST ME $ 210.00 FOR THE REPAIR. I READ ON THE SAFECAR.GOV WEBSITE WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS HAPPENING TO THE 2.5L MODELS AND WERE RECALLED. MY CAR IS A 1.8L MODEL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUES. I WAS LUCKY THAT THERE WAS NOT ANY OTHER CARS AROUND ME WHEN MY CAR STALLED AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE ROAD. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO START AND REQUIRE MULTIPLE TRIES. THE WOULD JERK AND FELT LIKE IT WAS SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR BUT DID NOT. HAS COMPLETELY STALLED WHEN SLOWING FOR STOP LIGHT. ON 12/5/11, WOULD NOT CRANK AT ALL. PER NISSAN SERVICE CENTER, THE CRANKSHAFT SENOR IS FAILING; HOWEVER, THERE IS NOT RECALL FOR NISSAN SENTRA SER SPEC-V ONLY 2004 SENTRAS. ALL NISSAN SENTRAS SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST INCLUDING SER SPEC-VS. CONCERNED THAT THERE ARE OTHER SAFETY ISSUES WITH NISSAN SENTRAS THAT WOULD ALSO EFFECT SPEC-V THAT ARE NOT BEING REPORTED TO SPEC-V OWNERS. *TR

SOMETIMES WHEN I ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL NOT RESPONSE, IT WILL TAKE A WHILE TO DO SO. *TR

4 DAYS AGO WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IT JUST SHUT OFF. THE CAR DIED IT JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS GOING 55 MILES AND HOUR. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND OUT OF TRAFFIC. I TRIED RESTARTING THE CAR AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS I WAS ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT THAT POINT. IT THEN WENT LESS THAN A MILE AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO PULL IN AND PARK IT IN A STORE PARKING LOT. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND HAD IT PUT ON THERE MACHINE TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE BATTERY SO I HAD THAT REPLACED. WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT AFTER LEAVING THE REPAIR SHOP THE CAR DIED AGAIN. AT THE SUGGESTION OF MY SISTER I TOOK THE CAR THE NEXT DAY TO A AUTO PARTS STORE THEY PLUGGED IN THE MACHINE TO READ THE CODES IT CAME BACK P0335 THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. I HAD TO ORDER A NEW ONE AND REPLACE IT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS YET TO GO OFF. TODAY WHILE DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM I FIND OUT THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT THE RECALL THAT I KEEP READING ABOUT WHILE DOING THIS RESEARCH. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR AND SCARED TO DRIVE IT WITH MY KIDS IN IT. THE CAR IS A 2004 NISSAN SENTRA SE WITH A 1.8 ENGINE. I HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO ROAD TEST IT TO SEE IF IT WILL CONTINUE TO SHUT OFF NOW THAT THE SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED BECAUSE I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD. I HAVE YET TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING I DOUBT THAT IT HAS BEEN. *TR

CAR WAS LEFT AT HOME FOR 4 DAYS WHILE ON VACATION. UPON RETURN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. IT WOULD CRANK, BUT WOULD NOT START. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO LOCAL SHOP WHO DETERMINED THAT THE COMPUTER WAS AT FAULT. HE CHARGED ME THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE OF $90.00, PRINTED OUT A PAGE SHOWING THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE MATTER AND ADVISED ME TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO NISSAN. BROUGHT VEHICLE BACK AND NISSAN WANTED ME TO LEAVE IT WITH THEM SO THEY COULD DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS WAS UNACCEPTABLE SINCE MY DAUGHTER NEEDS THE VEHICLE FOR WORK. THIS PROBLEM ONLY HAPPENED ONCE, BUT READING WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID IT APPEARS TO BE AN UNCORRECTED PROBLEM. NISSAN SHOULD CHECK INTO THIS...BY THE WAY, IT TOOK 2 WEEKS TO GET A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WITH NISSAN. *JB
