On certain passenger vehicles, the circuit board for the crank position sensor or cam position sensor may have an improper solder joint due to solder deformation caused by heat stress accelerated by the existence of flux residue during the soldering process.
Risk and remedy
Risk
This could cause the "service engine soon" warning light to come on, create a no start condition, cause reduced engine power, or cause the engine to stop running without warning during vehicle operation, which could result in a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the crank position sensors. Camshaft position sensor(s), and in some cases, the variable timing control sensor(s). vehicles involved in a previous recall campaign, 01v357, are also included in this new campaign. the replacement sensors used in that campaign are also affected. owner notification began on december 22, 2003. owners should contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261 or infiniti at 1-800-662-6200.

I was sitting at the red light when a suburban was speeding and wasn't paying attention. He hit me from the back which cased a 4 car wreck. My trunk was literally pushed to my front seat. The front of my car was under the car in front of me. My car was totaled. I hit my shoulder on the steering wheel along with my neck and shoulders. This wreck made me disabled. The air bags never deployed. It was a major accident wasn't much left of the car and my air bags never came out. The air bags more than likely would have saved me from that horrible impact. I am now disabled for life and my doctor mentioned the air bags would have taking the force of the injuries. *tr

Car has always had a slight idle issue..... When u start it you have to press the gas a bit or else it immediately dies. Also sometimes if you come to a stop the idle jumps up and down..... Hasn't ever completely died in those incidents. My complaint IS about the ignition coil fuse. A bit over a week ago the car was fine all day and then all of a sudden wouldn't start. It ended up being the fuse. We replaced it and the car was fine for a while. Today I got in it go to work and it wouldn't start. Once again it was the fuse. While at work my husband replaced it and it blew as soon as he turned the key to start the car. When I got home I tried again..... Same outcome. I've yet to talk to a mechanic to find out the problem but it seems like there's several complaints of this exact problem with my make and model of car. I'D like to resolve asap but I don't want to put money into a car that may have some problems even after this. I'D like to know if I fall under the recall? *tr

I just bought the car used on 6-22-13. The gauges on my dashboard stopped working intermittently - I will be driving and there IS no speedometer, odometer, tachometer, gas gauge or temperature gauge. They all stop working together for various lengths of time, and then just "click" on again. The gauges seem to be stuck in place on the gas meter but the speedometer would just fall to the corner (left or right depending on the angle it IS on when it stops working. the tachometer sometimes falls in the corner an other times it just freezes when it stops working. the temperature gauges does the same as the tachometer. I do not know what makes it stop or comes back on. the odometer disappears when it goes out and reappears when it comes back on but does seem to maintain the mileage when showing or not. let me know if there was a recall on the car or nissan responsible to repair the issue. the local dealer said they do not make the part anymore to fix the possible issues. *tr

I was on a four lane public highway and was boxed into the far right lane as I was attempting to switch lanes to avoid traffic. Another car sped up and boxed me into the right lane. I slammed on the brakes and decreased my speed from 45 mph to approximately 20-30 mph. I crashed into a completely stopped jeep cherokee. My nissan sustained heavy frontal damage and would later be totaled. The airbags failed to deploy. The car I ran into was a jeep so the bumper ran through my engine and upward. Had I been going faster this action would have continued through the windshield. The only thing that saved myself from injury was the fact that I was wearing my seatbelt. I sustained the typical whiplash and sore back but thankfully wasn't severely injured in the crash. I have pictures of the severity of the impact as well as testimony from a local officer who inspected the crash that the airbags never deployed. *tr

My 2000 nissan sentra completely stalled while driving on a surface street. First the radio cut out and the "air bag" light came on. When the car started to shake a bit, I noticed a burnt plastic smell and attempted to pull over to a side street and that's when the car lost all power--headlights, dashboard, engine, not even the hazards worked. I gently tried to accelerate forward and the car went into reverse instead, so I put the car in park and called triple a. They towed my car to my regular mechanic, who was closed at the time, and the next morning he was able to start the car right up and has not been able to locate any problem so far. this IS not the first time the car has stalled. In 2007, I had the car stall on me a number of times (once on the freeway) before my mechanic replaced the mass airflow sensor. In 2009, the car started idling roughly before stalling and that problem was traced to a faulty egr control valve circuit. *Tr

We had a 2000 nissan sentra gxe, with 83245 miles on the odometer. there were no issues with car and it had always been regularly serviced. on july 29, 2010 after a normal day's activities which involved driving to and from work and a short trip within town to and from the local swimming pool, it was as usual parked in the driveway of our home at 8PM. we locked the car and went into the house and were sitting down to dinner when at 8:20pm we noticed a large plume of smoke drift by the dining room window. when we went out to investigate we saw thick billowing smoke blowing out of the hood of the car. we could also see flames under the hood. The engine was on fire. we dialed 911 and the fire trucks rolled in. the firemen had difficulty opening the hood because the heat had fused the hood to the body and they had to punch holes in the side and use crowbars to pry the hood open. after a brief dousing with fire retardant foam, the firemen put out the flames within a few minutes. once the flames were put out we could see that the entire engine compartment was a mass of burned plastic and rubber and charred and twisted metal. the insurance company has declared the car to be a total loss. thankfully nobody was injured and our home was not damaged. we are shocked and dismayed that a supposedly reliable compact car could without any apparent reason burst into flames and die like this one did. *Tr

I have a 2000 nissan sentra and twice now the "plastic dip stick handle" has broken off when a mechanic pulled it out to change the oil... They couldn't get it out and I had to take it to the dealer... Who charges an outrageous price to get it out and replace it with another plastic handled dip stick that broke, again...... Who in their right mind put a plastic handle on a metal dip stick? how stupid. the engine heats up and cools and plastic under those conditions will become brittle.. I'D rather use a pot holder to pull out a uniform "metal" handle part of a solid metal stick than have it break all the time with a plastic handle. just like that bp oil spill... Engineers complicate things when the solution IS so simple .... please, have nissan recall this stupid plastic handled dip stick and replace it with an all metal one,.... I'll supply the pot holder or rag to pull out the hot dip stick made of metal.... thank you! *Tr
