TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE'S TITLE WAS RE-WORKED; THEREFORE, THE DEALER WAS NOT OBLIGATED TO PERFORM ANY RECALL OR WARRANTY WORK ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 03V455000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHEN WAS DRIVING ON 11/30/2015 AND PARKING THE CAR TO GO IN A BUILDING AND CAME BACK OUT AND TURN MY LIGHT ON AND THE TRAIL LIGHT DON'T COME ON AND THE DASH LIGHT DON'T COME BACK ON,AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP KEEP LEAKING.

THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN IT WAS DRIVEN AT SPEED OF 20 TO 35 MPH. THE WARNING LIGHT ON AND THE CAR CAN START AGAIN AFTER THE GEAR CHANGED TO NEUTRAL. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENED TWO TIMES IN A MONTH AND THEN MILEAGES IS 114000 MILES. THE NISSAN WORKSHOP CAN'T FIGURE OUT IT DUES TO CAMSHAFT SENSOR PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING, CAR SUDDENLY STOPS RESPONDING, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS INTO POSITION, THE ENGINE LOOSES POWER, AND STOPS RUNNING. IT HAPPENED FOUR TIMES OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE DURING THE INCIDENTS WAS BETWEEN 20 - 35 MPH.

WAS DRIVING ON 4 LANE DIVIDED ROAD AT APPROX. 50 MPH. WHEN DEPRESSED GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE, CAR ACTED LIKE IT WASN'T GETTING GAS. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, IT ACTED NORMAL AGAIN. CAME UPON STOP LIGHT. AS I WAS WAITING FOR LIGHT TO CHANGE, ENGINE SUDDENLY CUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING, ALL DASH LIGHTS FLASHED. I IMMEDIATELY CUT THE A/C, RADIO AND LIGHTS THINKING IT WAS MY BATTERY GOING BAD. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT WITH NO PROBLEM. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE APPROX. 15 MILES TO NEAREST AAA SHOP TO GET BATTERY CHECKED. BATTERY CHECKED OUT FINE AND MECHANIC LOOKED UNDER HOOD AND COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING OBVIOUS. I GOT HOME AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS YEAR NISSAN HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR CAMSHAFT PROBLEMS. THE DESCRIPTION OF CAMSHAFT PROBLEMS (ENGINE SUDDENLY TURNING OFF) MADE ME SUSPICIOUS ESPECIALLY SINCE IT HAD BEEN RECALLED. TOOK TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP NEXT MORNING AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE CAMSHAFT WAS WEAK SO THEY REPLACED ($552.00 EXPENSE). DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY ALL THE NISSAN 2003 MAXIMAS WERE NOT RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM. I AM ASKING THAT NISSAN CONSIDERING RECALLING ALL THE 2003 MAXIMAS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WAS VERY FRIGHTENED WHEN ENGINE CUT OUT AND COULD HAVE BE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND REAR-ENDED. I AM GRATEFUL I WAS STOPPED WHEN IT HAPPENED AND NOT TRAVELING AT A HIGH SPEED.
