| Description of the problem | I own a 4x4 loaded 2006 titan le which is my primary family vehicle. Around 80k, ecm module went out causing car to stall out and lose all power in the middle of traffic (with my kids). Lucky not to be nailed by an on-coming car, i had the car towed to the dealership and module was replaced due to recall. One week later while vacationing in the mountains the battery randomly fried, we replaced it. However immediately following, the anti-theft alarm would randomly sound off, the dvd player wouldn't work (hasn't worked since), the sunroof was malfunctioning and wouldn't open and close properly. Once we returned, the dealership couldn't find anything wrong (except the dvd player, which no one could explain). About two weeks later the check engine light came on and we found that the first catalytic converter on the passenger side had blown.. Followed not long after by cracked exhaust manifolds and the drivers side catalytic converter bad.. Dealership wants $3000 just for the catalytic converters!!! I should not be responsible for the cost of replacement! This clearly is a manufacturers defect and not a isolated case, nissan must do something about this! I hear rumors of a class action... It is a huge safety hazard!! I'm hoping they do the right thing and just fix it, without having to get lawyers involved. |
