| 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. | |||

| I have had multiple ongoing problems with this vehicle. . i have had to bring it in four times for an inoperative horn. i would discover that horn was not working, i'd bring it in and it would function, then a couple of months would pass and again it would be inoperative. they finally replaced the harness, and it has been working for 2 straight months. this might not seem like a big deal, but it is a safety issue. i have brought it in twice for a broken ignition wire. the first time they were unable to locate the problem. the car was released to me and two days later i had it towed in because it was dead. i have had break issues, my breaks were apparently warped and not functioning properly.the latest thing to go was the fuel pump. i was driving on the highway, in the middle lane, during rush hour when the car just stopped. i had no where to go and was stuck in the middle. a frightening experience. i am now told that they don't know when my car will be fixed, nor are they willing to provide me with alternate transportation. am i just supposed to acceptt that all of this goes wrong with my 2001 car? i bought a new car so i would have safe and reliable transportation. this has yet to happen. these problems have plagued me since the beginning and its only getting worse. i am at kelly nissan with a major issue an average of once every 3 months. i do not believe this car is safe to operate. what are my rights as a consumer?*ak | |||
