1. Power windows (both front driver and passenger side front) failed to operate properly in my 2001 Nissan Sentra VIN: 3n1cb51d31l494755 within 12 month after it was purchased brand new. I took it to the Nissan dealer (coral springs Nissan) and was told that it was not under warranty and was not manufacturing defect. I recently search on the internet and found many other 2001 Nissan Sentra encountred the same problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. My second problem started recently where my car's engine suddenly quits running after 15-20 minutes of normal driving. If I let it cool down and wait 10-15 minutes, it starts and runs for another 10 minutes before quiting again. My Sentra was recalled once( campain#: 01v357000) in Jan 2004 to replace the fault crank shaft sensors, yet I am still having this problem. On NHTSA website I see information about campaign#: 03v455000. ,however Nissan customer service is not acknowledging that crank shaft sensors in my car need to be further replaced for the second time. Please review my situation and advise. Best regards, imran khan 3022 grandiflora dr. Greenacres, f: 33467. 561-346-4375.
