yea not sure! I guess Nissan is sending the engineer out on the 16th. So will see what he can put together. Car runs great, but that damn lights is annoying!

Any update on this? Did they send an engineer to check out the car?

Last they had my car in for a week, and had a Nissan engineer working on the car. they said they changed my ECM, but engine light still came on after that. frustrated. dont know what to do!?!?????

Call Nissan north america (nna corporate), get them to open a claim, (get the ref # and name of person you spoke to), this way, if you're warrantee expires while it's still getting resolved, you won't be on the hook for it.

Also, like others said, keep all your documentation and start looking into the possibility of lemon lawing the car if you can't get it fixed.

Great advice. This is definately the best way to go.

Keep a written record of every time you go, if you wanna try lemon, it varies in each state, so familiarize yourself with lemon laws there. You need to show that they tried, and failed to fix the car... Good luck.

Check local lemon laws

could be bad gas or to much ethanol in the gas , gas tank need to be drain and refilled , and monitor the ethanol content with a scantool.

LMBmikeZ · 02-13-2012, 10:11 AM

I thought they had said they already changed your ECM?

yea thats what i thought, and when questioned it, my advisor told me they changed a sensor??? So now the car is at the dealership once again being tested! I feel like I have no idea what they are doing to my car. They really could be telling me anything!

vividracing · 02-14-2012, 11:21 AM

What dealer is your car at? Sounds like you need to take it somewhere else.

Have they still not taken a look at ignition system components?

It's at Larry H. Miller Nissan on dobson! And supposely they have these engineers looking at it and running all these tests. They have been doing this for 4 weeks now! I think maybe I should just go get the car. Not sure where to take it. VIVID HELP!!!!! lol

It sounds like to me, your getting the run around by the dealer. I would truely wonder if there are any engineers working on this problem. I would ask for detailed information and contact numbers from nissian corporation, as to who is handling this problem and exactly how and when this problem will be resolved.
I have a feeling your car is just sitting at the dealership.

My nephew had the same issue with a korean made car with a bad rod bearing, the dealer just tried to keep changing the oil and filter for 3 weeks calling it an engine knock, his mother ended up filing a complaint with the attorney generals office in her home state and 4 weeks later the company replaced engine. So at this point you need to file a complaint in your home state and make sure you have started a claim with the Corporation or manufacturer.

prior to the Jeep in my signature I bought a brand new Cherokee in 06 and the transmission went out three times, had oil consumption, and gas mileage was below 10MPG! SO after a year and a half of dealership trips they cut me a deal on a new jeep saying the MSRP I got on the standard cherokee they would give me on a cherokee overland HEMI, which was a 17K difference, not truly a lemon but a great deal since the dealership felt bad for selling me a lemon...

go to a new dealer if these guys keep ******* around and keep in touch with Nissan corporate to document this continually, worst comes to worst, get a local attorney, cant hurt.

GL!
