| Description of the problem | i own a 2006 nissan frontier, it was delivered with only half the keys programmed for the vehicle, a strange rattling of plastic shrouding in the engine compartment and as i found out a fast set of tires later, the front end out of alignment [ too much toe in ]. When i read the manual i found out that my 4wd vehicle was "not intended to be used off of the road", this was not in any of the presales literature and the reason i buy 4wd is so i can use it off road. At 100 miles after warranty i had to take it in because the fuel sending unit had failed, about a $600 repair on a part that should last 200,000 miles. The mechanic told me their dealership is replacing about one of these a week on a couple of models. When i picked it up i got the trouble light on the way home, i scanned it to see what the problem was [code po448 ]. I took it back. The first canister they ordered showed up broken [ kind of fragile for something mounted on the bottom of a 4wd ]. Parts replaced under the emissions warranty were 14953zp50c filter-canister, 14950-ea20a canister assy. E, and 14935-am60b valve assy.-co. The service order says " ... Inspected/found no flow very rusty....". As the vehicle only has 36,000 miles on it this does not bode well for the future. |
