Car Stall problems of the 2001 Nissan Sentra

Was driving at a speed of around 45 mph on a busy colorado roadway and the car all of the sudden stalled. Lost engine power, power steering and brakes. Luckily coasted to the shoulder. The car had to be towed to an automotive shop. It was diagnosed and it was determined the crankshaft and camshaft sensors had failed. I called Nissan on 7/12/2016 and reported this safety issue (reference number 22954833). On 7/14/2016 I talked to cody at Nissan and he said this was recalled in 2003 and an already closed recall. I asked him if he was going to report this incident to Nissan engineers department, because it is a safety issue and a recent recall issue. I stated that because the car stalled while driving that put people¿s lives at risk. I asked the Nissan representative cody if there have been any other complaints with this car's model about the fact that the crankshaft and camshaft sensors are still failing. He said he didn't know. The Nissan representative cody stated to me that with the age of the car this is expected to happen with these parts. I stated to him that because the crankshaft and camshaft sensors are still failing, therefore causing a car to stall while driving is a safety issue and should be reported. He said he was not going to report it to anyone. I stated I was going to report it to the NHTSA, because it is a safety issue and they need to know the issue still exists from their previous recall. The Nissan representative cody then stated if you want to contact them go ahead. Please take my submission seriously. If this was recalled in the past and is still happening I fear people's lives are at risk. I hope you have a database that keeps these complaints compiled and if this is happening to other people please get these recalled so the problem can be resolved and no lives are lost. Thank you for your time, I appreciate it.

Car constantly shuts off while driving, steering and brakes lock up as well. It does this idling at lights and while driving making turns. Very dangerous! I have replaced several sensors (at my expense) to try to keep the car going, but I'm terrified to drive it as I fear it will stall again in traffic and potentially kill me and my family. Checked my VIN against the many recalls that would cause these problems and states that none of these recalls apply to this car! Nissan used to be a good company, now it's just a lemon factory! not to mention their dealership service is absolutely useless! I don't see how such dangerous and potentially deadly issues do not have recalls on them!!!.

It cost $1,500 which is almost a third of the car's current blue book value.
