Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I currently drive a 2003 nissan sentra gxe, 1.8l 4cyl. car. (purchased in or around april 2003 from universal nissan) almost a year after buy the sentra i noticed that the car wouldn't start or if it did start it would take a while to start...meaning i would have to hold down the key while it tries to crank itself on. i do this all the time & at times when i finally get the car to start 3 to 5 seconds will go by and the car will turn off & i have to restart it. so i took the car into nissan or orange, ca and they totally blew me off, telling me that they couldn't do anything because i didn't noticed if the engin light come on. which leads me here today. my car is getting worst...i noticed a nhtsa campaign id #03v455000, nissan recall #r3022 and a number for nissan i call nissan (jan. 26, 2005) and i'm told there was no recall for my car because i drive a 1.8l 4 cyl car and not the car they have on their recall list which is 2.5l 4cyl. the guy only makes a file for me and updates my address. they didn't do anything to help me except update my personal information. i tell the rep. that i noticed on another website that my car make and model was affected by the recall and they didn't even reseach it. the information was found on www.alldata.com tsb number 03-124 issued december 2003 - safety recall - tsb title recall- engin sensor replacement for 2003 nissan sentra 1.8l 4 cyl cars. i mean it's the same type of recall that's on the nhtsa website. i don't understand somebody please help.*ak
