| Description of the problem | I was driving back from school on march 10th 2011. While entering a highway onramp my car engine stopped. I was traveling 40 mph and did not get any warning about the stall, my steering did not have any power and brakes were difficult to operate. When i called nissan (1-800-nissan1) about my incident and ask if there were any recalls made to my vehicle i was told that there was no recall. I then took my truck to a repair shop where it was diagnose with a faulty pump and burned electrical wires. This repair cost me over $900. I checked www. Nhtsa. Gov website for any recalls, learned that there was a recall for faulty fuel sending unit as per recall campaign i. D. # / nhtsa #: r0401 & r0402 / 04v-230 document rcrit-04v230-8435. This recall was made back in january 23, 2009. I was never notified about this, i wish i was and so i would not have to go through all the costly repairs. When i called nissan back i was told that they will research my incident and get back to me the next day. I am still waiting. |
