I'm really aggravated with Nissan on this one. My Pathfinder continues to cut out and not start back. I was caught in traffic the other day, thank goodness it was at a crawl. The bad part about it was I was in the middle lane. I have owned a Nissan for over 15 years, originally a Nissan hardbody. Nissan wants to keep just replacing parts on my Pathfinder, which is doing nothing but pissing away my money. I could have replaced the parts with a lot less cost.
My vehicle cuts in and out while driving. Ultimately leaving me stranded on the side of the road. I took it to a privately owned mechanic shop who said it was an ECM relay. At that time the relays were not available for individual sale and so we had to purchase the entire compartment of relays just for the one. In October of 2010, the relays were recalled and I called to get a refund of my charges I had to pay. Nissan questioned the competency of my repair man and required me to bring it in to them for the repair that they completely done over. Now that that was done about a month ago, my car is cutting in and out again. I am livid!!!
