My daughter was driving down the freeway and slowed down going so me ral road tracks and the. Car stalled, it scared her a lot being she was on the freeway, she was abel to pull over half scared to death because the steering wheel got stiff not knowing the car had stalled and as you know when a car stalles and your ignition is on on all your warning lights cycle in the middle of a busy freeway, she was very fortunate she did not have a accident, this happened all of a sudden, had never done it before, my son took it to get it checked at a parts store and said it had a bad battery so he replaced it. She's a college student, after night class was going back to her apartment, getting off the freeway on to the ramp came to a light and turned green so she did not have to stop as she was turning car stalled again in the middle of the intersection, she panicked because she thought a car or truck would rear end her in the middle of the intersection. Car stalled and did not want to start for a few minutes until it finally srated and was able to get home. Did ot want to take any chances took it to the dealer next day and diagnostic was the crankshaft sensor was bad, seems to be working fine, I hope she does not have to go through that experience ever again. What really bothers me is that she could of had a very serious accident and now I go online and find out that there is hundreds of people going through the same experience and nissan does not cover this defect that they say only certain models or engine size were in there recall cost over $300.00 dollars to get it fixed, plus my car also has a other defect witch some times has a hard time starting because fuel pump looses pressure, they say there is a repair kit you can buy to fix the problem, but it is a defect and should be recalled, it cost about thorpe same amount as if you were to replace the whole fuel pump.

The service engine light comes before starting vehicle and then throttle pedal has no effect. Starts fine runs smooth but will not accelerate. I have to disconnect positive battery post for about 5 minutes and then reinstall battery cable. So far will work fine for a while. The service engine light comes more frequent now but throttle pedal will work some times. I am worried that this will start happening when driving down the highway and stall the car. We bought the car with 17000 miles and now has 107000 miles on it. I checked for recalls but none yet.

1. Shaking when car was turned on. Losing power whilst driving. Losing coolant. 2. Head gasket was diagnosed to be leaking. Occurred constantly when car turned on, lost power as driving, idled rough, failed to point could no longer drive as could not accelerate without shaking or feeling like it would stall. Odd part is it seemed to be better on cooler mornings. 3. Read codes for misfire cylinder 4, and random misfire. Also running a little elevated temperature. We changed spark plugs, coils, and still had the problem. Searched online to find the same model and year all had same codes. The solution on multiple message boards that 2005 nissan sentra all had problems with head gasket blowing. When asked mechanic to check, he found cylinder 4 be very clean which he believed was due to coolant leaking in. He used a sealant product through the system that filled in leaks. He said the head gasket design was different. They were bolts that seemed to stretch as they tighten which would obviously crack or break after general use. He said there could be a problem if any fragments were to be lose in the system could damage other parts such as a water pump. We are watching the water levels. We have parked the car because we do not know if or when the car will repeat the issue. The cost is about 2,000 dollars to fix the head gasket. Who knows what other damage has been caused to other parts as well.

I recently had to have the crank sensor replaced on my 2005 nissan sentra 1.8l engine. I found that there was a recall for the 2005 sentra 2.5 l engine, but not the 1.8l engines. I feel that there should be a recall in this case, because my car shut down many times on the high way with no warning. The car completely stalled out and stopped working, and it's a real danger to those on the road.
