Driving home on freeway my nissan engine shuts off while driving in excess of 65mph and being that its a manual transmission it tries to start from rolling but jerks real hard like the brakes are locked up and ive almost went off the road 10 times. Ive tried changing the crankshaft position sensor but cannot locate it and all area autozones don't know where it is either. From what ive got my car has already been part of the sensor recall but has been failing for the last 2 1/2 years and recently blew a coil pack from the damaged sensor. Also the car wont start on one quick turn in a millisecond like it used to, it takes about 5 seconds of turning over to start everytime now.

The car had a recall performed on 08/02/2011 to replace crankshaft and camshaft position sensors, the car ran perfectly before the said recall. The mentioned recall also included an earlier recall which was ineffective. Some time after the recall was performed the car would stall intermittently without triggering a code. Finally the stalling triggered a code on 01/29/13 which was a crankshaft position sensor. The dealer confirmed that the crankshaft position sensor code was triggered but denied that it had anything to do with the stalling problem and returned the car with the intermittent stalling condition without a diagnoses. Eventually the car was diagnosed as a bad crankshaft position sensor and repaired on 11/08/2013 after two more visits to the dealer and numerous calls to nissan north america. This was very same crankshaft position sensor installed by the recall #r3022 which was bad and in effect renders recall #r3022 (nissan) ineffective, at least in my case. Nissan refused to pay for diagnoses and repair of the failed recall. This failed recall cost me $656.08 as well as endangered many lives. Note: the car only has 26,000 miles on it.

While driving on they highway my vehicle "jerked" while I was going roughly 70mph. When that happened it kind of hesitated and then my "slip" and tcs light came on. Later on that day my vehicle completely stalled while stopped at a intersection. It started back up but started very hard. I arrived at my destination and turned it off for roughly 10 minutes. I tried to start it and it would not start. My vehicle sat for about 2 hours and when I tried it again, it started right up. I researched this problem and found that there was a recall for nissans for the crank position sensor. All of these issues I had seemed to match up with this recall. Per nissan my VIN number was not one of the affected vehicles. I find that hard to believe. I had to get my vehicle fixed so I did that today. The problem with my car was the cam position sensor and the crank position sensor. The auto service place called nissan and nissan stated to them "this is a known issue" I am not very happy with nissan right now. I feel that my issues should be taken into consideration for the recall. Everything that happened relates back to the recall. Recall I am referring to is campaign id number: 03v455000. Please review my notes and maybe I can get some help!
