The car has stalled when stopped and while driving. Slip light and tsp warning lights go on along with service engine. I noticed the recall from 2003 was for similar problems. However I put in my VIN # and I'm assuming my car does not apply. Very very dangerous. My young daughter was driving when it died. Would like to know if repairs would be covered under previous recall.

I recently purchased a 2003 nissan maxima that was maryland state inspected. I drove it for about a week when I was driving along on a busy road and the car stalled in the middle of the roadway. Luckily, nobody was injured or hit the stalled car. The car had to be towed to the nissan repair shop. It was diagnosed with two defective camshaft sensors. I found out that this part was recalled under nissan's recall program, so I called them to see if they would replace the part. They refused to cover the cost of the replacement of the part even though they replaced these parts before under your recall.
