I have a 2003 Murano, that continues to have persistent problems with failing camshaft sensors. There is a specific recall that covers camshaft and crankshaft sensor design issues in the 2003 Murano, but Nissan has refused to cover the work, since my VIN doesn't fall within the recall range. I have even talked to the vp of East cost customer service, who told me to report the problem to the appropriate governmental Agency. We have experienced all the problems that are described in the recall multiple different times over the last year. These are :"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." It also includes the car stalling at 45 mph for my wife on a dangerous winding road. For a small women without power steering or power brakes, this situation was extremely dangerous. Both camshaft sensors have been replaced already, and one of them is failing again for the third time. I have already spent $500, and it will cost at least that much to pay for the changes that Nissan requires under the recall to really fix the Nissan design flaw. The main problem is that Nissan refuses to fix the problem, even though it is obvious that I have the exact same problems as the recall.

He contacted me around 11:15 am to inform me that the engine replacement was denied, due to, ?lack of maintenance?.
