| Description of the problem | Vehicle problem started with ecm/ipdm power train which stool on me. Replace for a cost of $17-1800. I paid about $1500-$1800 to get the ecm fixed and ipdm replaced. I was informed that my vehicle needed 2front converters for a cost of $2500. I contacted nissan manufacturers and expresses my concerned. Nissan manufacturers did not want to pay attention to my concerns, but after about 3-5months of non stop complaining, nissan manufacturers issued a recalled on the ecm and refunded my money, but refuses to fix my converters. In march 2011, i got a recalled noticed from nissan manufacturers about a leak of coolant into transmission, so i took my vehicle to the dealership and the dealership refused to do the required inspection and claimed that my vehicle had more miles than the manufacturers required mile; and yes, my vehicle at that time was not 5years. Two weeks later my transmission went into heavy smoke with a strong rotten egg odor while i was driving. I was told that valve body inside my vehicle transmission is burned and to replace it for a cost of about $3000+, and sensor need to be replace as well and the 2 converters. Nissan gave me a bill of over $5000. |
