| Description of the problem | Check engine light came on. Obd2 code was p0303 and intermittently code p0300 indicating cylinder #3 and multiple cylinder misfiring. Took the car to local garage. Installed new spark plugs and with nissans guidance,they performed upper intake cleaning. Check engine light came back on for same codes. Notified nissan and brought car to dealer as advised. Dealer replaced coil pack #3 and performed fuel induction cleaning. Cel came back up and dealer recommended removal of head to inspect for warpage after already spending $1200 on this issue. Nissan said they couldn't let me know if any or no financial assistance on the issue until i pay another $600 to inspect the head when a compression test should have been performed when nissan first worked on the vehicle. Overall, not satisfied with nissan for dropping the ball on an obvious recall under service bulletin ntb-10-056. |
