Description of the problem	Just as dozens others have already filed as complaints i have had several issues with the camshaft/crank shaft position sensor. Originally this sensor went bad in june, 2008 at 49,000 miles. I had the sensor replaced and the ecm reprogrammed according recall 06v242000. I contacted nissan north america and filed a complaint and after some back and forth they agreed to cover the cost of the repair (approx. $500). On march 3rd, 2010 at 70,885 the car would not start so i had it towed to a certified repair shop who diagnosed it with a bad camshaft position sensor again. The repair cost me $265. Clearly there is a consistent problem with these sensors and reprogramming the ecm is not a proper fix. Apparently even replacing the sensor once (by a nissan dealer) does not fix the problem. Nissan needs to step up and take responsibility for their poor choice in components and provide a permanent solution and compensation for affected consumers. I will be contacting nissan north america again.
