I have had a problem with the neutral safety switch causing the car to periodically not start. A mechanic made a previous diagnosis but said there were no safety concerns. The car eventually would start all, requiring downtime for repair. Sometimes after sitting over night and sometimes after several errands the car won't start but never this sudden stall. Today, the car stalled while I was in the middle of slowing down to make a left hand turn. It was a two lane mountain road. Cars were able to get around me without incident and I was able to coast backwards to a place of safety. I let the car sit for about 10 min. Which is my usually what I do when it won't start. Put it in neutral after releasing the locked gear shift, with foot on the break, started the car. I am thankful that I hadn't yet merged onto the freeway.

My daughter was driving in orlando when her check engine light and the slip control light came on and the engine lost power and stalled. We had to have the vehicle towed to an orlando nissan dealer. They diagnosed it as the camshaft and crankshaft sensors and we had to have it fixed at a cost of $815.65. I recently contacted nissan about this as I saw there was a nissan recall (no. R2022) on the camshaft and crankshaft sensors. However, nissan informed me that my car was not included in the recall as the recall was for 2003 vehicles. They stated the recall was VIN specific. I believe it should be symptom specific as the symptoms of the vehicle in this incident were exactly the same as what was described in the recall.

I purchased a brand new 2004 nissan 350z on december 20th, 2004. The car had 12 miles on it at the time of purchase, I have been the sole owner of the vehicle. Anyway I just want to report a problem that the manufacture just doesn't want to admit or deal with. Basically I started having idle issue somewhere in the spring of 2005 with roughly 3000 miles on the car. The car would start to develop a rough idle with the AC off. When I first noticed the problem and contacted the nissan, they tried to tell me its normal as the 350z is their "sports car". Not believe in what they said, I started looking at other 350z and other nissan that use the same engine for the same issue. It turns out I couldn't find any with the problem, I have had to live with the "sports car" not idling problem since then. When I contacted nissan about it time after time, they eventually blacklisted me and not return any of my phone call. A complaint with the bbb was no help neither. The problem continued to get worse until november 16th when the car stalled for the first time under the rough idle. The car was running and was sitting at the stop light. After a few seconds of rough idling, the engine just gave out and died on the spot. It refired right after, but it was potentially hazardous as the light turned green right when it stalled. I was lucky not to be crush by the cars behind me on that instance. Since then, the problem pop up from time to time, I would say a total of 10 times in the past three months. Can you please help, the problem is not safe as the car could just die any second. Please call me at [xxx] if you have questions. (the car doesn't stall all the time, but the bad idle is definitely there). Also I would like to add the wear on the tires on my 2004 350z. I understand nissan "supposedly" fix the problem, but my car is still wearing front tires like no others. The tires are feathering quickly and develop vibration on the car at the same time. *nm information redacted pursuant to the freedom of informat

The driver tried to restart the vehicle and was able to do so. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection. The mechanic informed the driver that it was normal. Please provide further details.
