SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WHEN APPLING THE BRAKES, WITH THE CAR GOING INTO A SLIDE /SKID AND ALMOST HITTING ANOTHER CAR, GOING AT A SLOW RATE. THIS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE. I WAS TOLD ON A COUPLE OF OCC. THAT IT WOULD COST ME TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT THE BRAKES, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRENTY. THEY SAID THEY DROVE IT AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE LAST TIME I TOOK IT IN, THEY FOUND THE CAR TO BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND SAID IT RELATED TO THE CALIBERS ON THE BRAKES. WHAT CAN I DO FOR A COMPLAINT TO NISSAN FOR THEIR LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY ON THE SITUATION? CAN I TAKE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THEM? DT

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING AND THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS VERY HARD TO STEER WHILE TRAVELING THAT SPEED AND TO GET ACROOS THE TRAFFIC SO I COULD PULL OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO PAT PECK NISSAN IN GULFPORT, MISSISSIPPI. THEY FIXED THE CAR AND SAID THAT IT WAS THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR. I ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS AND THEY SAID NO. AFTER I GOT HOME I LOOKED ON YOUR WEBSITE AND FOUND THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS FOR THE 2001 NISSAN SENTRA MANUFACTURED ON JANUARY 2000 THROUGH MAY 2001. THE MANUFACTURED DATE ON MY CAR IS APRIL OF 2001. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID THAT MY CAR DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IF MY CAR IS IN THE MANUFACTURED DATE WHY IT DOES NOT QUALIFY. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, NOT ONLY ME BUT THE OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME. PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THIS AND SEE IF THE RECALL WAS OVERLOOKED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUS INJURED. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. KEVIN CARPENTER DT
