Description of the problem	I went to accelerate and car, i guess you could say it just gave out. It was still running but as i hit gas it would not go any faster. The car immediately started running very rough so i pulled over and turned engine off. I took it to a nissan dealership for diagnosis, and was told i need whole new motor due to the fact the camshaft broke. Now this is a part i am being told that should not break and it must be a manufacturing defect. I was told to check and see if any recalls have been put out on camshaft. I did and there have not been. I am filing complaint because i think there should be a recall. I now have to pay out of pocket (est. Is over $4,800!!!!) for repairs done to my car for something that should not have broke in the first place. And by the camshaft breaking it caused a list of other major damage to my engine, which is why i need to replace it!
