Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Two days ago, my car stalled while i was turning left into a parking lot. thankfully, i was able to coast the car to a safe location since i am six months pregnant and unable to push a car. the car was towed to nissan of elk grove, where the next day they diagnosed the problem as a failed crank position sensor. i was upset, because i had the crank position sensor replaced last year after my car starting cutting out on me while i was driving on the freeway and the same dealer determined the crank sensor needed replacing. i had the dealer replace the crank sensor yesterday and assumed the problem was corrected. however, as i was backing out of the parking spot, my car stalled and i was unable to restart it. i promptly informed the service manager for nissan of elk grove, and he managed to start my car after with great difficulty. he drove it around for a few minutes and then informed me that the car almost "cut-out" on him a few times and that the rpm needle was "stiif" and "acting strange". presently, my car is still at the dealer while i await an update on the cause.
