Engine cooling fan caught fire in 1999 - car under warranty and repaired by dealership. 2 more engine cooling problems in 1999 the most serious problem was when the water pump failed. The engine had to be replaced. In 2002 the engine began overheating and we had to replace the thermostat, other problems encountered were replacement of oxygen sensor and fuel pump due to leakage. In June 2003 car overheating, the cooling fan connection had become disconnected. In July 2003 car overheating, checked by mechanic who noted that there water pump was leaking, recommended dealership repair due to cost. On day one dealership estimated cost of water pump replacement $380. Day two dealership calls - head gasket blown and fan belt worn bill now $1100. Day three dealership calls - one of the oxygen sensors and another part needs replacing an additional $300-400.00. Total bill $1600.
Original oxygen gas sensor causing check engine check light to come on. Cost to fix $400. Low coolant sensor warning light comes on. Cost to fix $70. These should not be my responsibility. There is nothing that I can do to cause these items to malfunction. These are manufacturers' parts problems.
Sensor has gone out twice and car still does not run properly, was informed by some mechanics that there's a problem with exhaust, or maybe transmission, because there's a delay in changing speed if I accelerate or decrease speed
This has been a problem since the day I purchased the car. I have had nothing buy a run around from excell Nissan. I have three pages of documentation from all the trouble I had to go through, (including threats). I think there still is a problem with my vehicle, it still isn't running right. I would like to know what I can do. Second and third gear no power
