2001 Nissan Sentra Electrical Problems

Your 2001 Sentra has been shutting off unexpectedly while driving, most recently at 70 mph on a freeway, leaving you stranded. When the engine shuts down, the Service Engine Soon light, Battery icon, and Oil lamp all come on. You've already replaced catalytic converters and O2 sensors, had the battery and oil changed, and mechanics have confirmed the battery and alternator are working properly, but the problem continues. The mechanic suspects an electrical issue and is performing a full diagnostic to identify the root cause.

Your car shuts off unexpectedly while driving, at traffic lights, and while turning, causing your steering and brakes to lock up — creating a serious safety hazard. You've already replaced multiple sensors to try to fix the problem, but the engine continues to stall without warning. The manufacturer states no recalls apply to your vehicle despite these dangerous symptoms.

Your catalytic converter clogged and caught fire while driving at 40+ mph, causing your engine to misfire and damaging the ignition coil. The catalytic converter had already been replaced once under recall, but failed again. The failing converter created debris that damaged your engine head and head gasket, requiring costly repairs. Nissan charged a diagnostic fee to confirm the recalled part was eligible for warranty work, rather than covering it.

While driving on the highway with children in your car, the engine shut off and stalled completely, causing you to lose all power and making it difficult to steer to the side of the road. A local mechanic mentioned there was a recall for this issue, but when you contacted Nissan consumer affairs, they said no open claims existed for it. The problem likely involves the electrical system cutting power to the engine.

Your car stalled while driving at 35 mph and the ignition system failed completely. The vehicle had to be towed to the dealer for diagnosis and repair. This happened at 164,000 miles on the odometer.

While driving at 40 mph, your car jerked, stalled, and the check engine light came on. You weren't able to restart the vehicle, and this problem happened multiple times. The issue may involve the electrical system or engine, and could require diagnosis with a scan tool to read the engine codes and identify the root cause.

Your car ran fine the day before, but the next morning after driving about a mile, it started running poorly. The ECU (engine control unit) has stopped sending a signal to the number 2 ignition coil, causing the rough running condition. The ECU may need to be replaced or reprogrammed to restore proper engine performance.

THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED IN OKLAHOMA IN APRIL 2013, AND ALL THE DASH GAUGES QUIT ON THE WAY HOME, ALONG WITH THE ODOMETER GOING OUT. AFTER THE CAR COOLED DOWN, THE GAUGES/ODOMETER STARTED WORKING AGAIN. THE CAR WAS THEN DRIVEN CROSS COUNTRY TO WASHINGTON STATE, AND WHEN THE HEATER WAS TURNED ON, AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE GAUGES/ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. ONCE COOLED OFF, THE GAUGES/ODOMETER WOULD START WORKING AGAIN. THE CAR WAS THEN DRIVEN TO TEXAS, AND THE SAME ISSUES CAME UP, ALL CENTERED AROUND TEMPERATURE. IT SEEMS WHEN THE HEATER IS TURNED ON (WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN WA), OR IF IT IS HOT OUTSIDE (THE DRIVE TO TEXAS, AND WHILE THE CAR HAS BEEN IN TEXAS), THE GAUGES WILL STOP WORKING AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME, AND WILL START WORKING AGAIN ONCE THE TEMPERATURE INSIDE THE CAR HAS COOLED DOWN. CURRENTLY WE ARE HAVING 100 DEGREE WEATHER DAYS IN TEXAS, SO IF THE CAR IS HOT WHEN LEAVING THE HOUSE, THE GAUGES WON'T WORK, UNTIL THE AC HAS BEEN ON ENOUGH TO COOL THE INSIDE OF THE CAR (AND I ASSUME GAUGES) DOWN. USING THE CAR AFTER THE AC HAS BEEN ON AND THE INSIDE OF THE CAR IS COOL, THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE GAUGES. IF YOU TURN THE AC OFF AND ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN, ONCE THE HEAT BUILDS UP IN THE CAR (ABOUT 85 DEGREES OR SO), THE GAUGES WILL GO OFF AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE COMPUTER WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. AFTER THE REPLACEMENT THE RPM READING WOULD REMAIN AT 2000 AND THE SPEED WOULD REMAIN AT 30 MPH WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE WIRES HAD BEEN DAMAGED WHEN THE COMPUTER WAS INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE FAILED. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 03V477000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: IGNITION MODULE) BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 40MPH AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SHORTLY AFTER THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST EMERGENCY EXIT. HE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO LOCAL SERVICE STATION. THE VEHICLE STILL HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS OF THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE MANUFACTURER AND HE WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE AWARE THAT THE PROBLEM EXIST WITH HIS VEHICLE, BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR HIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY ARE ONLY COVERING TWO ENGINES TYPES AND THE CONTACT VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CONTACT WILL HAVE TO GET HIS VEHICLE REPAIRED AT HIS OWN EXPENSE. THE CONTACT WAS TOLD BY LOCAL DEALER AFTER HIS VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED THAT THE FAILURE WAS HIS ECN WHICH IS THE COMPUTER IN HIS VEHICLE. THERE ARE NO SPARK AND NO FUEL GOING INTO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WAS 151000.

THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WENT ON 2/1/09. TROUBLE WAS REPORTED ON 2/5/09 WHEN VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED FOR SERVICE AT MIDAS AUTO SERVICE, 463 GLYNN ST., FAYETTEVILLE, GA. REFER TO INVOICE WHERE A RELAY/ECM WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME TO OWNER'S RESIDENCE AT 6302 MORGAN PLACE CT., ATLANTA, GA. A POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC EVENT FOLLOWED WHEN THE OWNER WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN ON AN ATLANTA INTERSTATE AND THE CAR CUT OFF AND A SERIOUS WRECK WAS SOMEHOW AVERTED. VEHICLE WAS SUBSEQUENTLY TOWED TO FIRESTONE COMPLETE AUTO CARE; 2460 N DRUID HILLS RD. NE. SYMPTOM WAS DESCRIBED: ''CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. OIL LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON FIRST'. THE SERVICE REPORT SAID IN PART, 'HAS BLOWN IGNITION FUSE AND NO POWER TO THE COILS, REPLACED FUSE AND EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE WORKING OK. THE REMAINING COMMENTS CAN BE FOUND IN THE SERVICE REPORT. VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME. NEXT PROBLEM OCCURRED ON 2/9/09 WHEN OWNER WAS LEAVING TO GO TO WORK IN THE MORNING. THE VEHICLE ENGINE CUT OFF ON A LOCAL ROUTE. THE CAR WAS SUBSEQUENTLY TOWED TO MIDAS AUTO SERVICE, 6550 ROSWELL RD., SANDY SPRINGS, GA. THE DIAGNOSTIC PACKAGE REVEALED, '' CODES P0140, P0505, P0137, AND P0460 WHICH INDICATED A TOTAL EMISSIONS FAILURE ON THE CAT CONVERTER AND ALL FOUR O2 SENSORS. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE VEHICLE IGNITION RELAY CIRCUIT (RELAY REPLACED 2/1/09) REPEATEDLY BLEW FUSES. THE VEHICLE WAS SUBSEQUENTLY DRIVEN BACK TO MIDAS AUTO SERVICE, 463 GLYNN ST., FAYETTEVILLE, GA WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION AND SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH INDICATED THAT THE ECM MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE SAFETY RECALL FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NO. 03V477000, CAME UP IN THE MIDAS RESEARCH AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE LINING MATERIAL FROM THE ECM BOX HAD NOT BEEN REPLACED. *TR

HORN SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES THE VEHICLE STARTS SHAKING, NOT STARTING AT ALL AND RUNNING ROUGH. IT WAS A ECM RECALL PERFORMED BUT AFTER THAT SEVERAL PROBLEMS OCCURRED AND RELATED TO THE SAME ECM. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL THESE PROBLEMS. THE ECM WAS REPLACED BY THE TIME, THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE, I AM GETTING THE SAME DIAGNOSTIC P0300 AND THE VEHICLE IS DEAD. POOR QUALITY ON THIS NISSAN. I HAVE A 1996 SENTRA WHICH IS BY FAR MORE RELIABLE THAN THIS JUNK! *TR

2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER 3.5L 4WD SE MODEL STARTED MISFIRING AT 89,000 MILES, WHICH THE JEFF WYLER NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN OHIO ADVISED ON REPLACING AN IGNITION COIL. CAR RAN OK FOR 2 WEEKS, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THIS TIME IT WAS A VALVE TIMING SENSOR. REPLACED THAT AND 2 WEEKS LATER MORE MISFIRING, AND THE SAME DEALER SAYS IT'S ANOTHER IGNITION COIL. A LITTLE RESEARCH SHOWS THERE ARE OVER 2500 PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ENGINE TYPE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES (MAXIMAS), AND OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS NOT HAVING THIS ISSUE. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT AND NEEDS SERIOUS SCRUTINY OR LEGAL ACTION.

I OWN A 2001 NISSAN SENTRA. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, THE HORN STOPPED WORKING. WE FINALLY TOOK IT IN TO OUR LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE CALLED SAYING THE HORN WORKS, THE FUSE IS FINE AND THE RELAY WORKS, BUT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE FUSE AND THE RELAY, IT'S LOSING POWER; LIKELY A SHORT IN THE WIRE. BUT THEY SAID IT IS WIRED IN SUCH A CONVOLUTED WAY THAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE ANOTHER 2 HOURS TO FIND THE RIGHT WIRE AND FIX. I FOUND THIS IN AN INTERNET MESSAGE BOARD: "JUST CURIOUS IF ANY OTHERS HAVE ISSUES WITH THEIR 00-06 SENTRA HORNS...MEANING YOU HIT YOUR HORN OR KEY FOB AND NO SOUND FROM THE HORN? I HAD MY 2001 SE FIXED AROUND 60,XXX...FOUND OUT FROM NISSAN THAT THE WIRES ARE A BIT SHORT RUNNING TO THE HORN SPEAKER...I THINK THE WIRING GOES UNDER THE RADIATOR. IT GETS STRESSED AND RUBS SOMEWHERE AND DUE TO CORROSION OR TOTAL BREAKAGE THE HORN THEN NO LONGER FUNCTIONS. THE PART I'M PISSED ABOUT IS THAT NOW AT 68K THE PROBLEM IS ONCE AGAIN BACK. I KNOW ACCORDING TO MY FATHER WHO USE TO WORK FOR A COMPANY THAT PROVIDES TECHNICAL SUPPORT TO PRIVATE GARAGES AROUND THE U.S. THAT THIS IN FACT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE SENTRA'S, BUT ACCORDING TO NISSAN DOES NOT REQUIRE AN NTSB. SAFETY FEATURE IN MY OPINION. NISSAN SAYS I'LL HAVE TO BRING IT IN AND PAY FOR DIAGNOSIS. I THINK I CALL THE REGIONAL MANAGER. TWICE I'VE HAD SOMEONE ALMOST HIT ME AND I HAVE NO HORN. ''NISSAN SAID CHECK THE FUSE...THEIR TYPICAL RESPONSE. AFTER TALKING AT LENGTH TO THE NISSAN DEALER THAT LAST FIXED THIS ISSUE THEY FINALLY GAVE UP AND SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE THE SAME ISSUE WAS BACK." AFTER THIS, I CALLED MY LOCAL NISSAN REPAIR SHOP (517 393-5700) AND SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER. AFTER TELLING HIM THE PROBLEM, HE PUT ME ON HOLD AND CHECKED THEIR RECORDS. HE INDICATED TO ME THAT YES, THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL OF NISSAN, BUT THAT THERE WAS NOTHING NISSAN NOR THEY COULD DO RE: FIXING THE HORN WHICH IS CAUSED BY AN ADMITTEDLY POORLY DESIGNED HORN WIRING SYSTEM. *JB

SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT: THE HORN WIRE INSIDE AN INTERNAL WIRING HARNESS ON MY 2001 SENTRA FAILED SPONTANEOUSLY ON OR ABOUT FEBRUARY 15, 2006, RENDERING THE HORN INOPERABLE AND INCAPABLE OF PASSING THE RHODE ISLAND STATE SAFETY INSPECTION. THREE DIFFERENT EMPLOYEES OF THE DEALER (INSKIP NISSAN, WARWICK RI) MADE STATEMENTS TO ME INDICATING THAT THIS TYPE OF HORN FAILURE HAPPENS REPEATEDLY, IS WELL KNOWN TO THEM, AND IS NOT CAUSED BY ANY EXTERNAL FORCE, SUCH AS COLLISION OR ROAD DAMAGE. I HAVE INSPECTED THE AREA, WHICH IS NEAR THE UNDERSIDE OF THE RADIATOR, AND IT IS CLEAR THAT THE WIRING HARNESS IS WELL PROTECTED BY VARIOUS FRONT-END COMPONENTS AND HARD TO GET AT. THE BROKEN WIRE WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALER ON 4/5/06 AT A COST OF $180.00 FOR A LITTLE OVER TWO HOURS WORK. THE DEALERS SERVICE CLERK TOLD ME EXACTLY WHAT THE COST WOULD BE AT THE TIME SHE WROTE UP THE REPAIR ORDER, PRIOR TO INSPECTING THE VEHICLE FOR THE CAUSE OF THE HORN FAILURE. I SUGGESTED AN INEXPENSIVE BYPASS WIRE, AND SHE STATED THAT OTHERS HAD EFFECTED A REPAIR IN THAT MANNER (FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT THE NATURE OF THE FAILURE IS WELL KNOWN THE THEM) BUT ALSO UNDERSTANDABLY STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT PERMITTED TO PERFORM THE REPAIR IN THAT MANNER. I SUBMITTED A COPY OF THE REPAIR BILL TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON 4/8/06 ASKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF THE $180 AS A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT, AND THEY WROTE BACK ON 4/12/06 DENYING THE CLAIM. THE NHTSA SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS BY INSPECTING DEALER SERVICE RECORDS AND INITIATE A RECALL. *JB

MY CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED ON THE HIGGHWAY AFTER MY CHECK ENGINE AND OIL LIGHT CAME ON.I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALER .THEY SAID I HAD 4 RECALLS ON THIS CAR AND THEY REPAIRED 3 OF THE 4 RECALLS. LATER THAT DAY THEY SAID THEY HAD TO GO BACK IN MY ENGINE BECAUSE THE TIMING WILL NOT SET AND THE CAR IS STIILL SHUUTING DOWN. THE CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP .THE 4 RECALLS WERE SUSP BOLT,ECM FOAM, HEADLAMP AND CRANK SENSOR.

1. HORN STOPPED WORKING. DIAGNOSTICS HAVE ISOLATED THE PROBLEM TO A SHORT IN THE WIRING HARNESS LIKELY DUE TO THE WAY IT IS ROUTED AROUND THE VEHICLE RADIATOR. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT HAS SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. RADIATOR AND ASSOCIATED HARDWARE WILL HAVE TO BE REMOVED TO GET TO THE SHORT, REQUIRING AN ENTIRE DAY OF DOWN-TIME PLUS EXTENSIVE HOURLY REPAIR BILL. 2. NON-OPERATING HORN PROHIBITS REQUIRED STATE VEHICLE INSPECTION. VEHICLE FAILS INSPECTION. 3. REPAIRS STILL HAVE TO BE MADE.*AK

MY 2001 NISSAN SENTRA GXE STARTED SPUTTERING IN FEB 05, ALSO AN ELECTRICAL BUZZING SOUND WOULD OCCUR AT THE SAME TIME. THE CAR STALLED OUT ONCE WHILE DRIVING. TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THE ECM WAS BAD. IT WAS REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE (HIDDEN 8YR/80,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THAT PART). THE NEXT DAY IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE STARTER/ECM SENSOR WAS REPLACED. I'M STILL NOT CONVINCED THE PROBLEM IS FIXED AND WORRY EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT.*AK

INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS CAR STALLING WHILE DRIVING, CAR ROUGH IDLE, CAR NOT STARTING, CAR SPURTING WHILE DRIVING, CAR NOT GOING INTO OVERDRIVE CAR HAS BEEN TOWED TWICE, BEEN TO TWO DEALERS, AND 1 MECHANIC THAT TOLD ME THAT IT IS IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND THAT THE DEALER NEEDS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. FROM MY RESEARCH, DIAGNOSTIC CODES ARE EITHER NOT BEING REPORTED BY A BAD SENSOR OR THE ECM IS NOT STORING THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES. *NM

HORN STOPPED WORKING, WIRING HARNESS WAS CORRODED. *NM

NISSAN SENTRA 2001 HAD A RECALL TO REMOVE THE FOAM COVERING THE ECM. I HAD THIS DONE JUNE 2004..THE PROBLEM WITH THE FOAM WAS AS IT CURED , IF THERE WAS A CRACK ON THE SURFACE LINING, CORROSION OF THE RESISTOR COULD CAUSE THE ECM TO MALFUNCTION. WELL I HAD THE FOAM REMOVED BUT I FEEL THE CORROSION WAS PROBABLY ALREADY OCCURRING SO IN 6 MONTHS THE ECM WENT BAD. NISSAN REFUSED TO PAY TO REPLACE THE ECM. *JB

WE HAVE HAD REPEATED ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL WINDOWS, VIDEO CASSETTE PLAYER, RADIO CONTROLS ON THE STEEING WHEEL, VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO GET OUT OF PARK, A RATTLING IN THE FRONT WHEEL AREA. A MONTH AGO, THE ELECTRON FUSE BLEW IN THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE VEHICLE NOT TO START, WHEN THE FUSE IS REPLACED IT BLOWS AGAIN. WE WERE TOLD THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS HAS GONE BAD - THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 34,000 MILES ON IT! WE WERE TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WE COULD HAVE DONE TO PREVENT IT FROM GOING BAD - "IT JUST WENT BAD". THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INOPERABLE SINCE OCTOBER 5, 2004 - WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A NEW WIRING HARNESS, NISSAN SENT THE WRONG PART TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE. THE CORRECT PART WE ARE TOLD IS ON BACKORDER INDEFINATELY - NISSAN HAS NO IDEA WHEN THE PART WILL BECOME AVAILABLE. A SUPERVISOR FROM NISSAN HAS FAILED TO RETURN MY PHONE CALLS AND THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS 38 MONTHS OLD (EVEN THOUGH IT ONLY HAS 34,000 MILES ON IT). HOW CAN A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD HAVE A PART, THAT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT RUN WITHOUT, BE ON BACKORDER INDEFINATELY? AND, HOW CAN A MAJOR WIRING PART GO BAD SO SOON AND NISSAN NOT BE LIABLE FOR IT? *AK

FLAPPING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE. WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND VEHICLE LOSS POWER. BELTS CAME APART GOING APPROXIMATED 65 MPH. TOWED INTO DEALERSHIP. FOUND BELTS MISSING FROM PULLEYS.

RECALL FOR CRANKSHAFT KIT AND RECENT SHUT DOWN OF ENGINE.*MR THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICE AT THE DEALER FOR A CRANKSHAFT SENSOR RECALL. AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE VEHICLE. THE TEST INDICATED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WAS THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT I THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST HE RUNS CAME UP AS THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR THEN THE CONSUMER WOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY THE DIAGNOSTICS FEE. THE DIAGNOSTIC WAS RUN AND THE TEST INDICATED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WAS THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER THEN STATED THAT ALTHOUGH THE TEST INDICATED THAT IT WAS THE CRANKSHAFT, IT REALLY WAS NOT THE SENSOR BUT THE WIRING AROUND THE CRANKSHAFT. THEREFORE THE CONSUMER HAD TO PAY THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THE CONSUMER FEELS THIS IS COMPLETELY DISHONEST AND IRRESPONSIBLE OF THE DEALER. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED. AS A RESULT, ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS FAILED. *AK

CONSUMER RECEIVED RECALL 03V477000 CONCERNING ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE ( EMC) MATERIAL: VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR RECALL REPAIRS, AND IMMEDIATELY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE HORN NOT WORKING.
