2004 nissan sentra shut off while driving on highway. Happened 2 times within an hour while the a/c was running, the vehicle shut off while in drive and physically moving. Service engine soon light appeared and currently displays code p0335: crankshaft position sensor circuit malfunction. There is currently a recall for some nissan sentra for this exact situation, but not for my 2004 and i highly suggest this is…

The engine stalled due to a failed crankshaft position sensor and/or camshaft position sensor while driving i tried starting car again after 4-5 minutes started, and engine stalled again after 20-25 minutes then i started car again after 15-20 minutes and it started. I think these sensors can fail intermittently as they warm with the engine. Sensors on certain models have been recalled by nissan and will be replaced…

I was lucky enough to be able to coast off the road without getting into an accident. I was on an 8-lane very busy road in a middle lane. At the first moment, the service engine light came on, then all the warning lights and the car stopped. I had the car towed. When the mechanic put it on the…

This vehicle was bought from a man at a home for "x" amount of miles. Now the odometer, title, and state inspection sticker miles do not match on different information. I bought this car i can't sell or do anything with it. All of these documents were tampered with and they are evasive and denying it all even to the cops when i have evidence and do not want to give me my money in full. I thought i bought a good car…

I purchased a vehicle for 4000 dollars and on the odometer it said it had 75,000 miles and the sticker said 69,204. We thought it was a good deal and investment so we took it. So this man and whoever who works with texas auto trading inc got the title and sticker for me. I never signed anything and a few days later the car started showing 176,00 miles on the odometer. Then on august 5, 2013 i called the individual…

Most of the time when i try to turn on the car i have to try 2 or 3 times in order for it to turn. The car sounds like it will turn on but it will not, therefore i have to continue turning the key and try again. Sometimes when i accelerate the car will not response, it will take a while to do so. *tr

Nissan sentra 2004 engine automatically shuts off when driving. Could possibly cause an accident. 1.8l. I've had a mechanic run a computer test on the engine and says that the crank shaft sensor is malfunctioning, which is causing the engine to shut off. I have read about a few other people experiencing this problem and would like for you to please look into it. Thank you. *tr

The keyless remote does not work unless they take out a fuse because of a short in the electrical system - that particular fuse controled the lights in the vanity mirrow - they said they have to order a part to fix it - and that all 2004 models have this problem. Also the passenger side back door does not open from the inside! Maybe due to the same problem - waiting to hear from dealership. *jb
