Crankshaft Position Sensor problems of the 2004 Nissan Sentra

2004 Nissan Sentra shut off while driving on highway. Happened 2 times within an hour while the a/c was running, the vehicle shut off while in drive and physically moving. Service engine soon light appeared and currently displays code p0335: crankshaft position sensor circuit malfunction. There is currently a recall for some Nissan Sentra for this exact situation, but not for my 2004 and I highly suggest this is reconsidered because this issue is affecting many people. Here are complain by other people related to same issue. Date of incident: 06/01/2015 NHTSA id number: 10726085 date of incident: 02/23/2014 NHTSA id number: 10566294 date of incident: 01/13/2014 NHTSA id number: 10560121 date of incident: 01/30/2012 NHTSA id number: 10447202 date of incident: 12/02/2011 NHTSA id number: 10438673 date of incident: 11/14/2008 NHTSA id number: 10266535 date of incident: 04/11/2009 NHTSA id number: 10265273 date of incident: 02/15/2009 NHTSA id number: 10259107 date of incident: 02/02/2007 NHTSA id number: 10181854 date of incident: 02/02/2007 NHTSA id number: 10181732 date of incident: 02/28/2004 NHTSA id number: 10094400 date of incident: 05/01/2004 NHTSA id number: 10083464 date of incident: 05/01/2004 NHTSA id number: 10082487 date of incident: 03/15/2004 NHTSA id number: 10062752.

2004 Nissan Sentra shut off while stopped in drive. Second incident, and many thereafter, was while the a/c was running, the vehicle shut off while in drive and physically moving. Service engine soon light appeared and currently displays code p0335: crankshaft position sensor circuit malfunction. There is currently a recall for my 2003 Nissan Sentra for this exact situation, but not the my 2004 and I highly suggest this is reconsidered because this issue is affecting more that the my 2003.

Drove the 2004 Nissan Sentra 1. 8l on the highway at 60mph and the car began to decrease speed to about 30 to 40mph with rpm meter fluctuations while pressing on the gas with same pressure. On the same day the car shut off multiple times after starting it for a minute. Previously on 2 occasions while at a stop light the car would shut off while idling. The check engine light was on for awhile but would periodically turn off. Took the car to Nissan after the highway incident and they said it was the cam position sensor and crank sensor. When asked about recalls Nissan said my car was not listed under the recall campaign. Had to pay $730 to fix this problem while after reading other people's complaints for this model and other model complaints it appears this is a common problem and should be taken a look at to include in the recall.

On Jan. 30,2012, my car stalled while driving. I was going the speed limit of 55 mph and without warning my car just stalled. I was lucky enough to be able to coast off the road without getting into an accident. After about 10 minutes I was able to start my car. At first the service engine light was not on but after about 3 mins. The service engine light came on. I drove the car to the dealership without any problem. The invoice states: ran the diag trouble tree. Could not get the dtc to confirm. Checked powers and grounds, all are good. Pulled the sensor and did the inspection and found the resistance to be wrong between terminal 2 & 3. They told me that the crank position sensor needed to be replaced and I approved the repair. It cost me $ 210. 00 for the repair. I read on the safecar. Gov website where the problem was happening to the 2. 5l models and were recalled. My car is a 1. 8l model. This is a safety issues. I was lucky that there was not any other cars around me when my car stalled and I was able to coast off the road.

4 days ago while driving my car it just shut off. The car died it just completely shut off while I was going 55 miles and hour. Luckily I was able to pull off the road and out of traffic. I tried restarting the car and after several attempts I was able to get it restarted. The check engine light came on at that point. It then went less than a mile and the same thing happened again. This time I was able to pull in and park it in a store parking lot. I took it to a repair shop and had it put on there machine to see what the problem was. I was told it was the battery so I had that replaced. When I was driving it after leaving the repair shop the car died again. At the suggestion of my sister I took the car the next day to a auto parts store they plugged in the machine to read the codes it came back p0335 the crank shaft sensor. I had to order a new one and replace it and the check engine light has yet to go off. Today while doing some research on this problem I find out that this is a problem for this vehicle. I have never heard about the recall that I keep reading about while doing this research. I am scared to drive my car and scared to drive it with my kids in it. The car is a 2004 Nissan Sentra se with a 1. 8 engine. I have not had a chance to road test it to see if it will continue to shut off now that the sensor has been replaced because I am scared to drive it for an extended period. I have yet to see if the problem has been corrected but from what I have been reading I doubt that it has been.

Nissan Sentra 2004 engine automatically shuts off when driving. Could possibly cause an accident. 1. 8l. I've had a mechanic run a computer test on the engine and says that the crank shaft sensor is malfunctioning, which is causing the engine to shut off. I have read about a few other people experiencing this problem and would like for you to please look into it. Thank you.
