| Car stalls when driving. i first brought this car in at 36k miles stating it was difficult to start. i was told it was fine. the dealer noted it was difficult to start at 65k miles. i had numerous electrical problems with the car in the first 36k miles. those appeared to be resolved. at 97k miles it began to refuse to start randomly. now it turns off while driving. the dealer states the problem is with the ecm unit. i feel this is a defective part that was installed with the car. a car turning off while it is driving is a safety hazard to every car on the road. the dealer rep tells me this unit frequently goes out on these cars. this creates an unsafe vehicle. *tr | |||

| I own a 2002 sentra spec v and this is my second one in 10 months that has failed to perform as it should. the current vehicle has had 1 new engine, 1 exhaust manifold, 2 window regulators, 2 new windows, three new door speakers, two shift knobs, 1 timing belt tensioner, 1 third brake light, and is in the process of getting it's third engine. car consumes oil at a rapid rate of 2 quarts per 1200 miles. tried an informal resolution and nissan rejected. dealer agrees the car should be bought back. symptoms that i have, lead to possible engine fire and is being addressed with a recall. i was sent home in a vehicle that was unsafe and they did not want to fix this last time and were denying the car had any problem. i fought a long hard battle just to get it fixed. *nlm | |||

| I purchased my car in oct 2006. in dec 2006 i was leaving my brothers and my car would not start. the check engine light had came on earlier in the day. i had the car towed to nissan at the avenues, after doing a diagnostic test on it they told me the ecm was no good and was covered under recall. the next day the dealership called me back and said nissan would not pay for the ecm but it would pay for the 3 sensors that were on recall. the reason it would not pay for the ecm is because i bought the car used and it had over 80,000 miles on it. the ecm should have been paid for also it is a $508.00 part and it was a recall like the sensors.... i have noticed several other consumers having the same problem with this ecm. th. *nm | |||
