2003 Nissan Altima Electronic Stability Control Esc Problems

THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR HAS FAILED, CAUSING MY CAR TO STALL ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, PUT IT BACK AND TRIED TO START THE ENGINE COUPLE TIMES BEFORE I SUCCEEDED. THIS HAD PLACED ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED VERY FREQUENTLY IN RECENT MONTHS (YEAR 2016)--EVERY TIME I STOP AT THE STOP SIGN OR STOP AT INTERSECTIONS FOR A RED LIGHT... I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY POLITELY INFORMED ME THAT MY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH THE SYMPTOMS WERE THE EXACT SAME AS THE RECALL I HAVE FOUND ONLINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS OUTLINED IN RECALL #06V242000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). AFTER THE REPAIR A MECHANIC INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND CONCLUDED THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE WAS NOT REPLACED. AS A CONSEQUENCE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNINGS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 75,000.

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION AND A RAILROAD CROSSING MY CAR SUDDENLY SEEMED TO HAVE LOST ALL POWER. MY CAR REMAINED ON. THINKING IT WAS JUST THE ROAD CONDITIONS. LATER SAME NIGHT ALSO IN A BUSY INTERSECTION ONCE AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME COMPLETELY JUST SHUT DOWN. NO POWER COASTED QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE OFF ROAD. TRIED TO RESTART MY CAR BUT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. WAITED A COUPLE MINUTES AND TRIED AGAIN AND MY CAR STRUGGLED TO TURN ON BUT DID TURN ON. MY CAR BEING A PREOWNED CERTIFIED CAR THAT I HAVE PURCHASED FROM LANCASTER HONDA DEALERSHIP I WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY RECALL NOTICES FOR MY CAR AND I AM A VERY UPSET CONSUMER. BROUGHT MY CAR TO BE SERVICED FROM THE DEALER AND THEY WANT $294.00 TO REPLACE MY CAM SENSOR AND CRANK SENSOR. I REFUSED THE WORK TO MY CAR AND WHILE SEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND RECALLS FOR THE ECM AND I AM SHOCKED TO SEE MANY OTHER CONSUMERS WITH MY SAME PROBLEM. ALSO, ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY FELT AS IF CAR LOST POWER. I NOTICED ALSO ALOT OF HEAT COMING FROM THE INSIDE OF MY CAR VENTS AND THE TEMP. GAUGE ON THE DASHBOARD DIDN'T SEEM TO BE WORKING ACCURATELY. I TURNED THE VENT FULL BLAST TO BE ON SAFE SIDE. AFTER CALLING NISSAN CONSUMER COMPLAINTS THEY ADVISED MY TO BRING MY CAR NOW TO NISSAN DEALER NEXT CITY OVER AND THEY WILL REPLACE/REPROGRAM MY ECM FREE OF CHARGE BUT THEY ARE GOING TO BE ALSO CHARGING ME $95.00 DIAGNOSIS CHARGE AND WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THEM REPLACING THE TWO SENSORS AS WELL FREE OF CHARGE THEY SAID IF AFTER RUNNING THE DIAG. AND IF IT BE THAT THE SENSORS WERE DAMAGED AS A RESULT THEN IT WILL ALSO BE REPLACED. *TR
