| Description of the problem | Car shut off while driving. Car also doesn't start up right away. Tried to bring it to nissan but they said my vin# wasn't included in the well known recall (camshaft sensor). Bs if you ask me! They're going to put peoples lives at risk. So i went to advanced auto parts store and got the code read and it was a p-03040 which was a camshaft position sensor malfunction. I googled a bit and found out there's plenty of people out there with this problem. I even called nissan and they didn't want to do nothing about it. Outrageous diagnostic fee also. $105 just to plug in a obd reader. You can buy your own obd reader for that price. Or just go to your local auto store and get it checked for free!!! Not happy. Nissan also sounded like they didn't want to deal with me since i don't bring my car to nissan for oil changes/repairs. |
