| Description of the problem | In the summer of 2007 my car was stalling when coming to a complete stop or when slowing down. I brought my car into nissan dealership and they advised the problem i was having is part of a recall and reprogrammed the ecm. The night i picked my car up i was still having the stalling issue. I brought the car back into the dealer and they replaced the camshaft sensor. I would like to make the complaint that 1) i never received a recall notice for the ecm. 2) my car stalled in oncoming traffic luckily not involved in a crash. 3)why was this problem not found when i originally brought the car in to be fixed 4) knowing this is an ongoing issue with both the crankshaft and camshaft sensor in nissans why is the camshaft not covered under a recall campaign. 5) it cost me almost $300 to replace a part that cost less than $40. |
