| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Had the ecm reprogram done a few weeks ago. couple of weeks later, check engine light came on, dealer reset the ecm again. past week, check engine light came on again. dealer now says the crank position sensor is bad. we had the "stalling engine without warning" issue in nov 2003. at that time and under severe pressure from me, the dealer replaced the crank and camshaft position...stalling problem solved. here we are 3 years later back to the bad crank position sensor again and dealer is saying my vin is not in the range of the sensor recall and i have to pay to have it replaced. in my opinion, nissan is trying to program the ecm to hide a known problem with the sensors and it's made it more pronounced. the dealer is trying to soften the blow a bit by knocking some off the charges, but i'm still having to cough up $184 for a well known, well documented and aging defect. come on nissan, fix the problem....it's a dangerous one. *jb |
