NHTSA Complaint #10381566 — 2005 NISSAN XTERRA

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN XTERRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING THE FUEL PRESSURE TO FLUCTUATE ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT SHORTLY AFTER REPAIRS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE IPDM WAS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED YET THE FAILURE RECURRED TWENTY MINUTES AFTER REPAIRS WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT. THE DEALER THEN ADVISED THAT BECAUSE THE IPDM FAILED, IT ALSO CAUSED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER TO FAIL AND THAT WOULD ALSO TO BE REPLACED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE REPAIR WOULD REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TRADE THE VEHICLE IN. THE VEHICLE WAS TRADED IN NOVEMBER 2010. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
