| Description of the problem | While turning to go up hill toward home vehicle suddenly died. Luckily no one was behind me so i put it in park and after hesitation it finally restarted. I took to dealer,wallace nissan in kingsport, tennessee and they ran ces code. They suggested having right side cam sensor replacement and float in gas tank where it has quit reading at a cost of approximately 700 to 800 dollars. Currently has not been repaired. Ps : i performed the bypass to avoid cross contamination of radiator fluid and transmission fluid myself after reading of all of the problems that has caused. The transmission has a separate cooler; i don't know why it goes through the bottom of the radiator anyway. Current milage is 49,899 which is low miles for a 2006 model. A person should not have to surf the web to know what their vehicle needs when nissan should be notifying them. People are paying for unnecessary repairs where a simple recall could have saved them thousands of dollars and more importantly someone's life from an accident. |
