3 Service Engine Light On problem of the 2003 Nissan 350Z

Failure Date: 08/06/2014

My service engine light came on after the car had trouble starting. It finally started, and as I was driving to work, my car shut off while driving on the freeway. This was tremendously dangerous considering I was driving on a busy freeway. I have contacted Nissan, and even though my VIN number falls within the cam shaft sensor report range, I was told my specific VIN number is being refused. The check engine code was indeed for a cam shaft sensor. The recall campaign is r3022.

4 Service Engine Light On problem of the 2003 Nissan 350Z

Failure Date: 10/05/2012

I just bought a pre-owned Nissan 2003 350z in August. . Oct 5 I had car stall on me twice. I drive a truck for a living so after that I went on the road. . When I came back I drove car and it stalled again at about 35 and then it didn't want to start. I got it started and the "service engine light" came on. It stalled 2 more times in motion after that and I brought it to Nissan. . They wanted to charge me $689. I then took it to my personal mechanics shop who charged me $375 for the same thing with Nissan parts. . I go home and find out that there was a recall #r2022 on the 2003 350z Nissan. . It shows under the NHTSA that this was a safety issue and could result in crash. . When I called Nissan on this they told me my VIN doesn't fall under the recall. If this was a safety issued recall then all the 2003 Nissan 350z should be under it. I checked online and found lots of other people that had same issues so its a hazard for sure yet Nissan is only backing up some of the vins under this safety issued recall. . . Plz help and tell me what I can do to get my $375 back. . .

6 Service Engine Light On problem of the 2003 Nissan 350Z

Failure Date: 03/25/2011

2003 Nissan 350z shuts down in traffic without warning. Nhtsa has this car listed on their recall list but the manufacturer says there is no recall on my particular vehicle. I contacted Nissan, they told me there was nothing they could do until I had it diagnosed by a dealership. I went to my local Nissan dealership and had my car diagnosed and they said it was the cam position sensor which would cause the car to shut down without warning, the service engine light goes on, the tcs light, and slip light, light up after restarting and it takes a few cranks to restart. So after spending $88. 00 to have this diagnosis done they still say sorry we can't help you. This is the vehicle that my son drives back and forth to college and as of right now he is walking because we are afraid to let him drive it until it is repaired. Do I feel this is a safety issue most definitely! driving 70 mph on the interstate and then all of a sudden shut down with cars behind you I feel is an accident waiting to happen! the car can not be driven like this, every time the car is used it happens more then once. These are the same exact symptoms that the recall lists. This has been happening since 3/25/11 till the present.
