I have a 1. 8l 2005 Nissan Sentra. As I was driving to work my vehicle shutdown. I looked at the recall NHTSA campaign number 07v527000 crankshaft position sensor failure/engine stall. I was going 65mph on the freeway when my car died. I had my mechanic look at my car and found it was the crankshaft position sensor.
I recently had to have the crank sensor replaced on my 2005 Nissan Sentra 1. 8l engine. I found that there was a recall for the 2005 Sentra 2. 5 l engine, but not the 1. 8l engines. I feel that there should be a recall in this case, because my car shut down many times on the high way with no warning. The car completely stalled out and stopped working, and it's a real danger to those on the road.
