I was going back to work after eating lunch driving about 45 MPH and engine just stalled and quite running, this happened in a work zone where they were repairing road. I tried to start car and it would not start, had to wait about 10 minutes then car started but when I started to drive, it stalled again and did it twice until I got it running long enough to get it to shell station. When we got it to the mechanic shop they said it was the crank shaft sensor and the cam sensor that has failed. They told us that nissan cars are bad about doing this. I was in a dangerous spot with lots of traffic and road construction for this to happen and there could of been a bad accident over this but thankfully there was not. Also another problem with this car is it has delayed cranking when trying to start car in summertime when it is hot outside. I bought this car used about five years ago and was not aware of the problems people were having with it stalling out like that.

A few weeks ago my car's engine started doing a stuttering thing while driving down the road or highway. It would just do it out of no where and it felt like the engine was about to shut off but it kept going. The check engine light came on after and it shows crank position sensor. I searched for this online and found this was a recall for my vehicle year, model and engine type. It stated that it could cause the engine to shut off while driving causing an accident. I took it into the dealing expecting to have this fixed under the recall but was informed that my vehicle's VIN was not on the list of affected vehicles and it would not be covered. My engine is still doing the stutter thing because I have not had it fixed yet and the manufacturer will not fix it under the recall because they say my vehicle was not affected even though it obviously was affected.
