Dig this, I take my car in for the crank sensor recall. Car is running fine but a little low on power occasional lack of power. So they say they will replace the sensors and take it for a test drive. Get the car back and pull out onto a 5 lane road when I have NO POWER cant get over 2500k without surging, nearly get hit. Take it back to the dumb A$$ dealer and we take it for another ride; nearly get a$$ ramed by a pickup. Dealer takes it back, hooks the computer up and says; DOH one of the sensors we replaced is bad. They replace the sensor and it runs ok. Im still going to call Nissan and complane. I dont feal to good knowing the part "fixed" was bad; especially when the origional gave me no problems.
BUT could this have done any damage?

 

could you possibly post that TSB? I think I'm having the same symptoms, but I don't have documentation for when I go to the stealership.

 

just ask them to run your vin and see if there are any outstanding recalls. call another if they say no.

 

you shouldn't need it but take it anyway in case.
here it is: just go to 2002 and look for crank engine sensor recall

thanks all. I hope this helps.

 

It was a recall its on the Nissan website and you should have got a letter, just call Nissan. BUT could this have done any damage by getting a bad sensor?
