In june, my car stalled on the highway. I towed it home and discovered via a code reader that the cps failed, and by google & the…

From what i've been reading everyone seems to be complaining that it's the crankshaft sensor. I thought the recall fixed this issue but apparently not. So many owners are complaining yet nissan is doing nothing. This is my first…

Poor engineering and manufacturing defects lead to issues that can cause the secondary timing chains on these vehicles to fail. The problem does not become apparent until after the warranty has expired, i.e. After 60,000 miles of service. Repair…
