350Z

  • 64,651 miles
My wife was driving the 350Z on the highway and slowing down with traffic ahead. The engine stalled all of a sudden. The cars behind could have smashed into her and kill her. Luckily that did not happen. I searched the internet, it looked like there were many cases of 350zs stalling. Internet told me that it was caused by faulty camshaft position sensor, which was exactly what Nissan dealer in dublin California replaced. In fact they replaced both camshaft position sensors. Check engine light did not come on when the vehicle stalled as indicated by the dealer. The engine would not start despite many tries. After 10-15 minutes or so, the engine started and the check engine light came on. Some of the 350Z was recalled. However dealer indicated that my VIN number is not on the list. I feel the Nissan should pay for my $674.44 repair bill as it is very dangerous for a vehicle stalling while driving.
