Consumer Description

THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT HAS COME ON 3 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST YEAR, STARTING AT 25,290 MILES. THE FIRST 2 TIMES, MY MECHANIC SAID THE SCAN CODE PO 420 SHOWED A PROBLEM WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND HE RESET THE COMPUTER. THE THIRD TIME IT CAME ON, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALER, AND THEY REPLACED NOTHING, BUT "REPROGRAMMED" THE COMPUTER TO CLEAR IT, AND CHARGED ME $147. MY MAXIMA HAS ONLY 32,013 MILES AND HAS BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY. THIS IS A RIP OFF. *NLM
