THE CONTACT SUSTAINED RIB INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

THE CONTACT DID NOT SUSTAIN ANY INJURIES, BUT RECEIVED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V287000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I WAS DRIVING EAST ON I494 NEAR A MAJOR INTERCHANGE, IN VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC. I WAS IN THE CENTER LANE GOING APPROXIMATELY 60-65 MPH WHEN MY ENGINE SUDDENLY QUIT. I QUICKLY CHECKED THE LANE ON MY RIGHT AND IT WAS CLEAR SO I MOVED OVER AND ONTO THE SHOULDER. MY BRAKES AND STEERING WERE GOING QUICKLY, BUT I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE CAR TO A FULL STOP NEXT TO THE GUARD RAIL. I WAS RIGHT NEXT TO A TWO-LANE EXIT TO I35, WHERE THE TRAFFIC WAS FLYING PAST ME; SEVERAL CARS ALMOST RAN INTO ME, WITH ONE EXTREMELY DISTRACTED DRIVER CROSSING THE LINE ONTO THE SHOULDER AND HEADING RIGHT AT ME. IF HE HAD NOT LOOKED UP IN TIME I DOUBT I WOULD BE HERE TO REPORT THIS. I WAS ABLE TO GET A TOW TRUCK, BUT TRAFFIC WAS NOT EVEN SLOWING OR YIELDING FOR THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER. IT WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHILE WAITING FOR A TOW, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART MY CAR AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES, BUT WAS TOO AFRAID TO TRY DRIVING IT IN THOSE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. THE REPAIR SHOP I WENT TO DIAGNOSED A FAULTY O2 SENSOR CAUSED BY A LEAKY FLEX PIPE AND WANTED OVER $800 TO REPLACE THE PIPE W/ CATALYTIC CONVERTER, GASKETS, O2 SENSOR. AND SPARK PLUGS. SINCE MY CAR WOULD START BUT I DID NOT TRUST IT, I DECIDED TO DRIVE HOME (25 MILES) BY CITY STREETS AND BACK ROADS. ON THE WAY THE ENGINE AGAIN FAILED WHILE WAITING FOR A LIGHT TO CHANGE. AFTER 10 MINUTES IT STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC, WHO FIXED THE FLEX PIPE. A FEW DAYS LATER THE ENGINE DIED AGAIN AND RESTARTED AFTER ANOTHER HARROWING WAIT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS TIME THE CAR GAVE A CODE FOR THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, WHICH MY MECHANIC REPLACED. SINCE THEN MY CAR HAS NOT QUIT WHILE DRIVING, BUT DOES HESITATE AND I AM AFRAID WHILE DRIVING IT. I MAY HAVE MY MECHANIC REPLACE THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR AS WELL, SINCE THAT IS ALSO A KNOWN ISSUE. I AM SUPPOSED TO MOVE TO CALIFORNIA, BUT DON'T TRUST MY CAR TO MAKE THE TRIP SAFELY.

2004 NISSAN SENTRA SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. HAPPENED 2 TIMES WITHIN AN HOUR WHILE THE A/C WAS RUNNING, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE IN DRIVE AND PHYSICALLY MOVING. SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT APPEARED AND CURRENTLY DISPLAYS CODE P0335: CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL FOR SOME NISSAN SENTRA FOR THIS EXACT SITUATION, BUT NOT FOR MY 2004 AND I HIGHLY SUGGEST THIS IS RECONSIDERED BECAUSE THIS ISSUE IS AFFECTING MANY PEOPLE. HERE ARE COMPLAIN BY OTHER PEOPLE RELATED TO SAME ISSUE.

THE ENGINE STALLED DUE TO A FAILED CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND/OR CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WHILE DRIVING I TRIED STARTING CAR AGAIN AFTER 4-5 MINUTES STARTED, AND ENGINE STALLED AGAIN AFTER 20-25 MINUTES THEN I STARTED CAR AGAIN AFTER 15-20 MINUTES AND IT STARTED. I THINK THESE SENSORS CAN FAIL INTERMITTENTLY AS THEY WARM WITH THE ENGINE. SENSORS ON CERTAIN MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED BY NISSAN AND WILL BE REPLACED AS NECESSARY BUT I'M NOT SURE WHY MY WIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL WHILE I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

2004 NISSAN SENTRA SHUT OFF WHILE STOPPED IN DRIVE. SECOND INCIDENT, AND MANY THEREAFTER, WAS WHILE THE A/C WAS RUNNING, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE IN DRIVE AND PHYSICALLY MOVING. SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT APPEARED AND CURRENTLY DISPLAYS CODE P0335: CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL FOR MY 2003 NISSAN SENTRA FOR THIS EXACT SITUATION, BUT NOT THE MY 2004 AND I HIGHLY SUGGEST THIS IS RECONSIDERED BECAUSE THIS ISSUE IS AFFECTING MORE THAT THE MY 2003.

MY 2004 NISSAN SENTRA HAS JUST FAILED EMISSIONS TESTING FOR THE 3RD TIME. THE PAPERWORK I RECIEVED SAYS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS DETERIORATING FASTER THAN ANTICIPATED AND TURNING ON THE MIL. ALSO, THAT THE OWNER WAS NOTIFIED DEC. 5, 2005 HOWEVER, I DID NOT PURCHASE THE CAR UNTIL 2014.

MY PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS RECALLED AND FIXED BY DELAND NISSAN BUT WHAT ABOUT THE DRIVER AIRBAG? MEDIA REPORTED A MAN LOST AN EYE AND A WOMAN LOST HER LIFE DUE TO DRIVER AIRBAG, SO WHY HAVE THE DRIVER AIRBAGS NOT BEEN RECALLED ALSO? *TR
