This is terrible I just had to replace my catalytic converter because of bad ECM in my opinion. This part was expensive to replace. Not a week later my car shift lock is acting up. These are not ordinary things to go out on a car. I believe Nissan is not reporting these problems with their vehicles because they do not want to pay for the repairs. I have been a loyal nissan customer but I am appalled at their lack of care for their customers. These are things that they should be replacing at cost to the company. Disappointed Nissan customer!!!!!
