Description of the problem	This is a combination of problems. Approximately around nov. 7, 2015 the check engine light came on while at the dealer (almost one year after the last time). I have not owned my vehicle 2 years yet. I thought they had taken care of it when they told me the light shouldn't come back on. They said the code was for reprogramming the mass air system. About 2 weeks later the same light came on but this time i lost acceleration again while getting on the freeway. I had a couple of close calls on being rear-ended while having my son in the car. I had to get off immediately and drive down to the dealer which took me it seemed forever because it would barely move. I had to leave the vehicle as it was closing. The following day i was called and told that it required reprogramming of the mass air system. I had them do it but it took them 1 day to return the vehicle to me. About 2 days later the check engine light came back on again and i took it back to the same dealer. This time finding the problem wasn't as easy. They kept my vehicle for 3 days before letting me know that i needed to have the throttle chamber replaced. Really now... Check engine light on a total of 2 times in 1 year + 2 more time in another year, 1 alternator replaced in 1 year , 1 throttle chamber replaced in almost 2 years, leaking rear shocks in 1 year and nissan does nothing to replace my vehicle which is a constant safety hazard for me and my family.
