| My engine failed again while driving 70 mphs on the freeway, the very day after the car had been repaired for yet another defect sensor. it was a miracle i did not crash and kill anyone including myself. each and every time i have taken the car in, i have requested it be checked for a short in the wiring. each time i was told no. i later learned thar meant if it didn't show up on the computer, then they wouldn't look for it specifically. following the latest hazard, i got in nissan's face. nissan found a defect oxygen sensor this time. upon retesting the vehicle, the emc (the brain of the vehicle) was found to be defective. i was also told had i driven the car any longer, the air conditioning unit would have blown too. well, that explains all the lousy gas mileage this past year. so, here it is a week later and my vehicle remains in the shop with a back ordered emc with no available stock date in sight. i am renting a vehicle and am receiving very little assistance from nissan as to getting a rental vehicle in the meantime. i am quite concerned i have purchased a brand new spanking yellow lemon. i am quite concerned this vehicle, even with a new emc, will produce other defective sensors once the warranty has expired due to wear and tear from the old one. there are 45 sensors in the vehicle and only 5-10 have blown so far. i am quite certain others are close to failure too. i am just as concerned when both the nissan representative and the service manager told me this part has been on back order for a very long time as so many vehicles have endured this problme, that the vehicle has not yet been recalled. | |||
