I was driving to work on the freeway going about 60mph when all of a sudden my 2006 Nissan Sentra ( se 1. 8) gave a small jerk and the rpms reduced drastically. I also began to lose my steering and no matter how hard I pressed the gas pedal the car wouldn't accelerate. I was able to make it to the shoulder, I turned off the car and after a few minutes it was fine. Then later that night as I was sitting with the engine at an idle, the car suddenly died but it did started back up. I decided to take it to my mechanic and it died 2 or 3 times while I was driving it. The mechanic couldn't find anything wrong. My check engine light never came on and the car didn't throw a code. I brought the car home and parked it because I do not feeling safe driving it. Tonight I sat in the car and turned it on to see if it would start. It did start but every second or so there was an loud click from the engine after which the car would give a sizeable shudder. Also the rpms rev'd when I put the car in neutral or park. They would dip when the car was in drive or reverse. I see on the web there is a recall for the camshaft and crankshaft position sensor. I haven't called Nissan yet but after reading other complaints on this website I have no hope they will honor the recall as my VIN isn't included. I hope someone at the NHTSA forces an expanded recall. It isn't right that those of us having problems have to pay for a known problem. In addition, my car is now sitting because I'm scared of driving it just to have it die, causing me to lose steering and possibly brakes. I will let my mechanic know about the recall to see if in the end, my car is also one of those unlucky ones that have the same issue but don't fall under the recall.

My heart goes out to the victims of Toyota's reckless negligence. In may 2006 I had a brand new Nissan Sentra and I pulled into a driveway across from my apartment and all of a sudden my car accelerated and it felt like it was possessed. It sped probably 70-80 mph and I thought I was going to die. Luckily, for me the car rammed into the condo of the driveway I pulled in. My airbags popped out and I was able to get out of the car with only a cut on my forehead. My neighbor witness the whole thing. When the fire department came they looked at the car and said it was a miracle that I was alive and not badly hurt. I did research and found the others with the same car had experience this. I tried to contact Nissan, I even hired an attorney. My insurance company said the couldn't find anything. Well, I know that this car was defective and if not for the condo I would had died. Now that this event has happened with Toyota I need to know what I can do to follow through with what happened to me. Mind you I'm still paying for the car that is totaled.
