Car was shutting down while driving on the highway. Brought car ti Nissan Dealer in Brandon Florida. Was informed the Cam shaft and Crank sensors had to be replaced at a cost of $1100 not under warranty. Just another in the line of problems and recall with his vehicle that NIssan fails to acknowledge as their fault for poor vehicle design. DO NOT BUY ANY NISSAN PRODUCTS. THEY LOVE YOU THEN LEAVE YOU WITH EXPENSIVE REPAIRS.
