Notes by brand
Early-2000s Nissan models with the 2.5L QR25DE and 3.5L VQ35DE engines (Altima, Sentra, Maxima and others) are known for crankshaft and camshaft position sensor failures that cause sudden stalling. Some of these vehicles were covered by a recall, so run your VIN through NHTSA's recall lookup before paying for sensors.
