This is one of the newest problems again with this vehicle. I called Nissan, they told me they already gave me assistance. Which they did, 200$ for a 400$ problem. I cant remember what exactly happened that last time. But I had been there so many times. The service guy knows me now. I been there so much. Im at the service department at least once every couple months. And I take care of my SUV, I always get the oil changed on time, and tires rotated when its time. The Ujoints are also needing to be replaced now. I m hoping Nissan will buy back this SUV because I dont have time to be taking this truck every other month to get fixed, and Nissan dont seem to care. The place I bought it from, acts like they cant do anything. This should be illegal. I dont care that this SUV is 2005, I never had so many problems with a car or truck or anything in my life thus far until now
