I have a 2002 altima but i only purchased it about 8 months ago. somewhere around 2 months ago my check engine light came on. so i had it looked at and they said it was a crank sensor code, so i had it replaced. didn't fix the problem for long. the light came back on, throwing the same code. well then a week later my car completely shut off while i'm driving down the road. when i begin to restart it, nothing. it takes several attempts before it will start. since that incident i've had this happen several times. i'm very concerned that i or my children will be in an accident due to the vehicle shutting off while driving. please someone help!

Recall campaign r3022 / 03v455000 due to defective original manufacturer crankshaft / camshaft sensor, this caused my engine to completely stall at 65 mph on the california 57 south freeway. extreme dangerous driving experience had occurred and caused unsafe driving condition for the surrounding vehicles. vehicle had difficulty steering and braking which luckily avoided any accident. the recall campaign was conducted along with other recalls in the past, but when inspected, the crankshaft and 2 camshaft sensors were never replaced under the said recall. hopefully the nhtsa can contact nissan on my behalf to conduct an investigation on why the original sensors deemed defective in the recall campaign was not properly replaced.
