Consumer Description

STARTING SEPTEMBER 2005, MY CAR "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT BEGAN COMING ON AND THE CAR STALLED SEVERAL TIMES AT SLOW SPEEDS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES AND THE PROBLEM HAS STILL NOT BEEN SOLVED. THE CAR CONTINUES TO STALL AT UNPREDICTABLE TIMES AND THE DEALER AND NISSAN'S TECH PEOPLE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY A PROBLEM. *NM PHONE INTERVIEW UPDATE (FEB 1, 06): THE DEALER REPLACED THE THROTTLE SENSOR AND AIRFLOW METER UNDER "SECRET WARRANTY", BUT THE ENGINE STILL STALLS INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO DO ANYMORE FOR ME. IN MOST CASES, THE ENGINE RESTARTS RIGHT THE WAY, SOMETIMES IT TAKES 3 OR 4 TRIES BEFORE THE ENGINE RESTARTS.
