2003 Nissan 350Z Engine Problems

“My car for the last year will drive 5-7 miles and stall in regular traffic. We replaced the fuel pump. I finally have enough $ to take to Nissan. They came back with it needs all 2 cam shaft sensors and crank shaft sensor replaced. When I go on line and search my 2003 350Z touring edition recall, there was a recall for this problem as it appears the wires can break inside due to temp on solder joints. …”

“Car abruptly without warning dropped speed by 15 MPH with the engine service light and the slip light and the etc light coming on. Almost killed by the truck behind me; he swerved to the emergency lane to avoid hitting me due to the sudden deacceleration of my vehicle. Recall r2033/r3022 describes situation. There is a campaign 03v455000 but Nissan will not honor this for my particular VIN.”

Check engine light did not come on when the vehicle stalled as indicated by the dealer. …”

I contacted Nissan dealers and Nissan consumer affairs with my VIN and was told it didn't fall under the recall.
