Car Stall problems of the 2004 Nissan Sentra

In the morning, car took multiple attempts to start. In afternoon, after having sat for an hour, it was again hard to start. Drove approx. 1/2 mile across highway into a parking lot, slowed and car stalled. Restarted after several attempts, drove approx. 1/4 mile and car stalled as I slowed again prior to attempting to turn into parking space. Would not restart until left sit for approx. An hour.

Vehicle hesitates when starting & stalls out or shuts down when slowing down or coming to a halt. If let to sit for a while it will restart, but has left me stranded multiple times. Crank sensor replaced as well as all fluids. Have had it checked for codes, but nothing shows up. Car was recently purchased in late may 2016. Vendor repaired several items,but now car is out of vendor warranty.

My car usually takes two tries to start. After it warms up and I've been driving, it stalls suddenly, and I'm stranded for several minutes. When it does start up again, it goes a short distance, and as soon as the engine warms up again, it stalls again. Today it stalled on the way home, three times, in less than 4 miles. I was left sitting on the side of the road, hoping I wouldn't get hit. I have also had it stall in the middle of a busy intersection, and am very concerned about it stalling when I pull out in front of other traffic to cross a road. I am at risk of a crash because of this. It has stalled whiie driving on the highway, city streets and on rural roads. One night it stalled over a dozen times as I was passing through a bad area of time ten o'clock at night. Nissan is going to cost somebody their life if they don't get on this and fix every Nissan that is exhibiting these kinds of sudden stalls. This has been going on since summer 2015 and is getting far worse. I can't afford to pay for a manufacturing defect. This form is insufficient because it is forcing a one date list for problems and this is happening repeatedly. There are no documents to upload, I just sit in the car and wait for it to finally start again.

Driving down the highway in 2015 the car engine would just stop running. My husband called the towing company and me after he pulled over after ten minutes or so and the car started again, we cancelled the tow and he returned home but near the home the car stalled out again. We managed to get it started again and drove it to a firestone repair shop which charged us 280. 89 dollars for a crankshaft position sensor. Nissan recalled a crank angle sensor for the 2. 5 l but we have the 1. 8 l engine.

I received a notice from Nissan stating that my vehicle was to be brought into a dealership and an ecm reprogramming was to be performed to correct the crankshaft position sensor issue. I did so back in January of 2008. My ecm never emitted any sort of error code, but I was having spontaneous stalling approximately twice a week. After the reprogramming, the problem stopped until approximately a month ago, when it stalled very hard while I was driving down the freeway. The "check engine" light came on, and I assumed it was just a misfire of the sparkplugs. It began stalling spontaneously at a rate of approximately 1-2 times per day then. Three weeks ago, I replaced the spark plugs, and took it to autozone to have the code checked. It stated that my crankshaft position sensor was faulty. I do not believe that a reprogramming of the computer will take care of the problem caused by the manufacturer's defect. I am worried for my safety while driving my vehicle, and would like Nissan to compensate me for the replacement of my vehicle's crankshaft position sensor.

Please refer to Nissan campaign I. D. # p5202. I have a 2004 Nissan Sentra se-r spec v. At the end of August my car developed stalling and then outright cylinder (1) failure. Spark plug was removed and found to be extremely pitted and ground strap was hammered closed. Replaced plug, vacuumed cylinder and car ran fine for two weeks. The same problem developed on the way to work and spark plugs were removed and a second cylinder was found to have identical symptoms. The private mechanic I use advised me that there was a recall on this engine (ref. Above). I then drove vehicle to the local Nissan dealer where they verified that the power valve was missing two of eight screws and this was the most probable cause of the cylinder failures. Filed claim with Nissan customer service and was informed by regional representative that my VIN did not fall into the VIN recall range and that they would not honor the recall on my engine. As such, none of the recall troubleshooting was performed on my engine. I feel that my expenses should be reimbursed and, if required, my engine replaced free of charge since I have already suffered from the failure described in the recall. I'm sure that the service life of the pistons, valves, cylinder walls, and engine head associated with the failed spark plugs has been substantially reduced due to the pounding they took from the steel power valve screws. I believe that Nissan knows that they have the identical problem with other VIN 2. 5 liter engines and are refusing to fix them because they don't want to accept corporate liability for a known defect in even more of their engines. I have written to carlos ghosen and given Nissan an opportunity to respond with no results to date. Please help me obtain the same rights and benefits of other Nissan owners who fell under the protection of recall campaign p5202. Thank you.

1) car began to run rough/surging/stalling for no apparent reason. 2) something has entered the engine causing marks on piston top/cylinder bores and damaging the spark plug. 3) brought car to dealer and was told spark plugs and air filter were to blame. I changed spark plugs and air filter. This allowed car to run better but still runs rough/surges/won't idle properly. Brought car to local garage and they inspected cylinder bores and found damage to piston and a 2nd piston/spark plug. They informed me that there is a recall for Sentra's but that my car was not included. This recall covers screws falling into motor. Called the dealer and was told the car needs to be reset because of the air filter was not an original replacement brand filter. When told about damages in motor there was no reply. When asked if there is a recall for my vehicle I was told there wasn't one. Called Nissan and was told about a recall and that my car is covered but after further review they changed their mind and said that my car was not covered. My car is the same make/model/engine size as the recalled vehicles. I'm trying to get my car included in the recall.

2004 Nissan Sentra. Born on date of April 2003. Bought in oct 2004. Currently has 4495 miles. Car stalled twice. Brought to dealership on 04/02/2004 to check for problem (4331 miles). No failure codes indicated in memory of computer. On April 8th the car was involved in an accident. Son has memory loss from stop sign to when car came to rest. He does not have full memory recall. It is coming back but is spotty. He currently recalls talking to a paramedic, a small bumping sensation and dashboard lights coming on (like when the car stalled before). Is there any other information about these cars? I know there is a recall for cars built from Jan 2000 to March 2003 for cases of stalling. We got this car brand new. Only Nissan has performed any mntc. Oil change.

I was driving down the road after having the car repaired twice already and then bolts fell out of the engine. This caused the car to stall the same as when the catalyst was burned up. The catalyst had been replaced along with the engine. I still have problems to this day with funny smells and rattles.
