| Description of the problem | While driving the vehicle loss power and almost stalled. This happened a couple of times while driving on the highway, approx. 50mph. The second time it happened, the ses light and slip light came on. This vehicle was covered by a recall for the ecm that caused a similar issue. The ecm was replaced by a certified nissan service center. The replacement was done 12/29/10. Now, it is happening again. A bit of research shows that nissan has issued a voluntary recall for camshaft sensors that cause a very similar problem. However, because my vin is not currently under that recall, i can't have nissan replace them. This is a safety issue. The vehicle looses power then stalls while traveling in heavy traffic at 50-60 mph. That can cause a major accident and affect not only myself but others. I feel nissan should expand their recall to include nissan frontiers, not just altima, etc. Nissan has been contacted and they have opened a case file #[xxx]. No resolution has been offered by them. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
