Camshaft Position Sensor problems of the 2002 Nissan Maxima

In sept. 2014, my car was in for service and recall number "03v455000" was performed. The 2 camshaft sensors and 1 crankshaft sensor were to all be replaced. In April 2016, my car was experiencing problems with all 3 sensors. My car would stop at any moment (stopped or driving). I've been in many intersections or the interstate and it'll die on me and take a long time to crank back up. I had to pay over $120 at the dealership to get the diagnosis. Upon looking at my recall paperwork, only the crankshaft sensor was replaced. When bringing that info to dealer, they claimed it was a kit that included all 3 sensors. Every single internet search, including Nissan's own public parts website, says that part # 23731-al60c is a single crankshaft sensor and could not prove that their internal/private parts system claimed it was a kit. I them reached out to the Nissan recall number (1-800-647-7261) listed on the recall to explain the issue with all the sensors not being replaced. After a few calls, my info was routed to a regional associate. I asked her if she needed to explain the story to her and she said she didn't. After 5 days, the regional associate called me back and explained to me that she reached out to the dealership and said that Nissan is agreeing with the dealership and cannot assist me any further. She could see the work information, but seemed simply sided with the dealership without any further info or questioning me for a better understanding.

The car had a recall performed on 08/02/2011 to replace crankshaft and camshaft position sensors, the car ran perfectly before the said recall. The mentioned recall also included an earlier recall which was ineffective. Some time after the recall was performed the car would stall intermittently without triggering a code. Finally the stalling triggered a code on 01/29/13 which was a crankshaft position sensor. The dealer confirmed that the crankshaft position sensor code was triggered but denied that it had anything to do with the stalling problem and returned the car with the intermittent stalling condition without a diagnoses. Eventually the car was diagnosed as a bad crankshaft position sensor and repaired on 11/08/2013 after two more visits to the dealer and numerous calls to Nissan north America. This was very same crankshaft position sensor installed by the recall #r3022 which was bad and in effect renders recall #r3022 (Nissan) ineffective, at least in my case. Nissan refused to pay for diagnoses and repair of the failed recall. This failed recall cost me $656. 08 as well as endangered many lives. Note: the car only has 26,000 miles on it.

Problem related to cam position sensors (cam shaft sensor and possibly vias sensors). This intermittent failure, causes the car to buck. Often this will cause the car to stall. This issue is prominent with a large percentage of Nissan Maxima 2002 owners as well as a number of additional Nissan years and models (murano, altima). The frequency of the issue occurring for Nissan owners as well as the severity - stalls have occurred for me us at any time including middle of intersection and also on the highway resulting in some very close calls and potential upcoming accidents. Nissan's negligence in recalling and fixing this problem, is likely to lead to accidents and loss of life. The Nissan dealer has not responded to my direct requests to please fix the issue as they will only do this if Nissan issues a recall. Please look into this, this is an extremely frequent and expensive repair for Nissan owners. People's lives are at risk if this is not addressed and this is the avenue that the northeast Nissan rep said I need to take to start the recall process.
