MY CAR SHUTS OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHILE I AM DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING, EVERYTHING GOES COMPLETELY DEAD. IT STARTED AT ABOUT 8000 MILES. SINCE THEN, IT HAS CUT OFF AT LEAST 5 MORE TIMES. MY CAR ONLY HAS 11,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY RAN NUMEROUS DIAGNOSTICS ON MY CAR AND THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME AN EXPLANATION ON WHY MY CAR KEEPS SHUTTING OFF. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING. VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING IN A BUSY ROAD, ACCIDENT WILL HAPPEN IS BOUND TO HAPPEN. THE LAST TIME I CALLED THE DEALER THEY STATED I PROBABLY PUT BAD GAS IN THE CAR???? WHAT?S UP WITH THAT? I DON?T FEEL I SHOULD BE MAKING A CAR PAYMENT ON A BRAND NEW CAR AND HAVE SO MANY PROBLEMS. I WAS BETTER OFF WITH THE JUNK THAT I HAD. AT LEAST I WAS SAFE WHILE DRIVING. *AK

ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 2.5L ENGINE, THE CRANK ANGLE SENSOR IS AFFECTED BY TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS. UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS, THESE VARIATIONS IN TEMPERATURE CAN BE LARGE ENOUGH TO CAUSE A BRIEF INTERRUPTION IN THE SIGNAL OUTPUT FROM THE SENSOR.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE INTERRUPTION IN THE SIGNAL FROM THE SENSOR IS SO BRIEF THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM) LOGIC DOES NOT HAVE TIME TO DIAGNOSE THE CONDITION, THE ENGINE MAY STOP RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AT A LOW SPEED INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE ECM FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 21, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
