Second time this has had to be fixed in 23 months! Talked to two Nissan dealers. They basically said the same thing---there are lot's of bulletins on the problem but no recall. I informed them that I had been a loyal Nissan customer since the days of my Datsun Z's with a Sentra in my garage now. They said Nissan might help but it would only bring my cost down to $2,000. They suggested that I trade it off to them. I had it fixed at a local garage for $1,300. The thing went out again on 5/22/16. I didn't even fool with Nissan this time as I will never purchase another. This time it cost $1,980 to fix.

I heard Nissan knew about this problem. I like Nissan but will never buy a used Nissan again.
