While driving, my 2002 Nissan Altima 2.5 S has stalled and left me in the middle of traffic lanes. This has happened 3 different times (including once being stalled on railroad tracks). My local dealership refuses to co-operate with me, telling me one time that it was the "cam sensor, " another I was told "the vehicle was flooded, " and the last time I got no assistance (including no loaner vehicle!). the dealership claims that these problems are caused by my actions (as though I am unable to operate a vehicle correctly). I am considering taking legal action, as this vehicle is unsafe for me and others around me. I was never notified of the latest recall until researching online few weeks ago (3 months after the recall was issued), I now have an appointment to have this situation remedied next week. I hope to get the excessive use of oil situation solved as well. I am appalled at the lack of customer service that Nissan and the affiliated Nissan dealerships afford their clients that shell out upwards of $25,000 for one of their death traps!
