In addition, the traction control, flip, and check engine warning indicators illuminated. The failure occurred intermittently. Numerous unknown dealers and independent mechanics were notified, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 64,000.

My 2003 Nissan 350z was exhibiting the exact symptoms of a nhsta recall number 03v455000 ( Nissan number r2202) recall. I contacted Nissan dealers and Nissan consumer affairs with my VIN and was told it didn't fall under the recall. I then took my vehicle to the Nissan dealer service department to have it diagnosed and the dealer concluded that both (2) cam position sensors and the crank position sensor, were failing and needed to be replaced at a cost to me of 378. 86 which I paid and have had the vehicle back only a few days (<100 miles) but so far seems to have resolved the issue. I again contacted Nissan consumer affairs and was told there was nothing they would do. I further explained my belief that the recall was more widespread than initially thought by nhsta and Nissan to no avail. I have spent 20-30 hours doing online research as to what would cause the issue and it all seems to lead back to the recall symptoms. I further realized that many other people experienced the same issue but can't speak as to their specific solution and therefore thought it prudent to try and bring it to the NHTSA for further study and database information. I would very much appreciate the NHTSA assistance in this matter to have the money I spent reimbursed to me by Nissan consumer affairs as I believe this repair should have been under the recall. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

I have a random misfire of po300 and no one can find the problem. I have reached and found this is a Nissan recall.

Car abruptly without warning dropped speed by 15 mph with the engine service light and the slip light and the etc light coming on. Almost killed by the truck behind me; he swerved to the emergency lane to avoid hitting me due to the sudden deacceleration of my vehicle. Recall r2033/r3022 describes situation. There is a campaign 03v455000 but Nissan will not honor this for my particular VIN.

Engine stops while driving car. Engine service light comes on. Take car to garage - engine sensors are bad - had replaced. Nissan states that this vehicle VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number 03v455000 - but problem was the same - bad engine sensors. Nissan national complaint # 19620726 - Nissan says they don't have any responsibility and what is worse, don't seem to care that this is a dangerous condition. Went to google and found dozens of other citations about this problem.

Engine temperature gauge rises when driving up hill and when coming to a complete stop.

I own a 2003 Nissan 350z, while driving at approximately 30mph, there was a sudden loss of power, and the check engine, vdc ,and slip lights all came on. Engine now runs sluggishly. The error code is p0340, which is crank sensor failure. I feel this is related to the ntsa recall campaign 03v455000, but that campaign only allows for a very small VIN range of 2003 350zs. I have read many instances of this failure and situation online. The recall should be expanded to all 2003 350zs.

Consumer owned a Nissan 350z track version 2003. He took vehicle to dealer for recall repair about a year ago. Consumer stated it was a recall, however, could not find recall on NHTSA web site. Ntb03-046 was the number identifying the recall that consumer had. Repair work was done on 6-11-04. Then, on July 19, 2005 consumer took vehicle to gardena Nissan in California, and they told him that the problem involved front tires wearing out on the inside during repair work they replaced the right front compression rod. Consumer contacted Nissan, and they told him that after recall and warranty repair work was only good for 10,000 miles. Consumer believed that recall repairs did not fix problem, per gardena Nissan. Six months after consumer bought vehicle when shifting up or down at any speed periodically it will not go into gear. Nissan was aware of the situation, and they did not want to do anything about it.

2003 Nissan 350z had a cam sensor replaced. Consumer wants to know if there is a possible recall for this problem. The consumer stated the engine would shut off suddenly while driving.
