1988 Nissan Diesel CLA83 Problems

I OWN A 2004 ALTIMA WITH 97,000 MILES. CAR VIBRATES AT SPEEDS OF 60 AND GREATER. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES WITHOUT SATISFACTION. THIS VIBRATION WAS DUE TO INFERIOR ROTORS. AFTER I REPLACED THE ROTORS WITH ANOTHER NON-NISSAN BRAND AT 50,000 MILES, THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. ALL THIS FRUSTRATION WAS DUE TO THE POOR QUALITY OF NISSAN ROTORS. I WENT TO THE WEBSITE TIRERACK.COM AND BOUGHT BETTER QUALITY ROTORS. *TR

MY CAR WOULDN'T START. I NOTIFIED NISSAN, THEY TOWED MY CAR IN. MY CAR HAD SEVERAL RECALLS. NISSAN CHECKED MY CAR AND RESET MY ECM. WHEN I WENT TO GET MY CAR FROM MITCHELL NISSAN WHICH IS 30 MILES AWAY. THEY TOLD US THAT I HAD A POSSIBLE HEAD OR COIL FAILURE. WHEN WE LEFT THE DEALERSHIP WE DIDN'T CHECK THE OIL CAUSE WHEN THEY REPROGRAMMED THEY SUPPOSE TO HAVE CHECKED EVERYTHING. WHEN MY HUSBAND CHECKED THAT'S WHEN WE FOUND OUT IT WAS NO OIL. I DROVE MY CAR 30 MILES WITH NO OIL. MY CAR IS A 2002 ALTIMA I CHECKED THE RECALLS AND SAW THAT THE 2.5 2006 ALTIMAS HAS A RECALL ON THE ENGINE AS WELL AS THE SENSOR LIKE THE EARLIER YEARS. THE RECALLS STATES SOMETHING ABOUT THE ECM AND ABOUT THE PISTONS AND DRIVING WITHOUT OIL. NOW I HAVE TO GET MY ENGINE REPLACED AND NISSAN IS SAYING IT IS NOT ON THEM. MY CAR WAS NOT ACTING UP NOR SMOKING UNTIL IT CUT OFF AND HAD TO BE REPROGRAMMED. I FEEL THIS MESSED UP MY ENGINE. *TR

I OWN A 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA. IT SEEMED GREAT WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND NOW AFTER 5 YEARS IT IS CRAP AND THE THING WONT RUN. THE CAR IDLES ROUGH WHEN IT FIRST STARTS IF IT STARTS AT ALL, THERE IS A WATER RUSHING SOUND UNDER THE DASH, AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME. I AM CONSTANTLY REFILLING THE RADIATOR WITH COOLANT AND ADDING SO MUCH OIL TO MY CAR IT IS CRAZY. MY FATHER-IN-LAW WHICH IS A MECHANIC, TOLD ME THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS DETERIORATING INTO THE #4 CYLINDER WHICH IS CAUSING ENGINE FAILURE WHICH IS ALSO WHERE THE OIL AND COOLANT AND GAS ARE GOING. THE EASIEST FIX IS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ENGINE, WHICH IS A $6,300 FIX. I JUST FINISHED PAYING OFF MY CAR IN MAY AND 3 MONTHS LATER MY CAR START HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS. I CANT AFFORD TO FIX THIS AND I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO, CATALYTIC CONVERTER DON'T JUST DETERIORATE. HECK I AM THE ONLY OWNER TO MY CAR AND IT IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD. THIS IS CRAZY. I HAVE NOW REPLACED MY ENGINE AT MY OWN COST, BECAUSE THE DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR AT CLAIMS THEY ARE NOT BE ENOUGH TO DO ANYTHING AND TO CALL NISSAN, WHICH I DID AND NISSAN DOES CARE. WELL AFTER SPENDING SIX GRAND ON FIXING MY CAR, MY MACHINE HAS INFORMED ME THIS IS ALL DUE TO PLUGGED PCV VALVE BECAUSE THE TWO INLACE HOLES FOR THIS VALVE ARE SO SMALL THEY GET CLOGGED SO EASILY AND THE DISCHARGE FOR THE PCV VALVE BECOMES IN INTAKE AND TO TO THE SIZE OF THE DISCHARGES THE OILED IS GETTING PULLING INTO THE ENGINE AND WELL AS OTHER FLUIDS WHICH IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE FAILURE OF THE ENGINE AND DESTROYING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I AM GIVING YOU THE DATE MY CAR FINALLY DIED. IT TOOK ME OVER A MONTH AND A 1/2 TO GET THIS FIXED AND IT IS STILL FAR FROM BEING FIXED. PLEASE ALSO CHECK OUT THIS WEBSITE FOR THOUSANDS OF OTHER NISSAN DEALER THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

ON JUNE 23,2007 MY NEW 2007 NISSAN QUEST SPONTANEOUSLY CAUGHT FIRE WHILE PARKED IN MY GARAGE, TURNED OFF, KEYS NOT EVEN IN THE IGNITION. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO GET THE FIRE OUT BUT NOT BEFORE MY QUEST AND MY GARAGE SUSTAINED DAMAGE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, NEW, AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS "SO WHY ARE YOU CALLING US?". I THEN CALLED THE NISSAN COMPANY WHO AGREED TO DO AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE CAUSE. THEIR CONCLUSION WAS THAT IT STARTED IN THE WIRING TO THE TOW HITCH, WHICH WAS ON THEIR WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND AN ACCESSORY THEY OFFER ON THEIR WEBSITE. THEY THEN CLAIMED THAT THE TOW HITCH WAS NOT PUT ON IN THE FACTORY AND THEREFORE IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM AND WOULD NOT ASSIST ME ANY FURTHER. THEY DID TELL ME THAT THEY HAD ALREADY SPOKEN WITH THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THAT THEY WERE ALSO CLAIMING THEY DID NOT INSTALL THE HITCH. I EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS ON THERE WHEN I GOT IT SO SOMEONE HAD TO INSTALL IT. THEY AGAIN SAID IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. I HAVE MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND NO ONE WILL TAKE MY CALLS NOR RETURN MY MESSAGES. SO I AM STUCK WITH A BURNED UP VAN, RENTAL BILLS, GARAGE REPAIR BILLS AND EVERYONE POINTING THEIR FINGER AT THE OTHER SAYING IT IS NOT MY FAULT. I HAVE INSURANCE ON THE VAN OF COURSE AND COULD JUST SIMPLY HAVE IT FIXED AND PUT IT BACK ON THE ROAD BUT THAT DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM OF WHATEVER DID IN FACT START THE FIRE (THEIR CONCLUSION WAS CERTAINLY CONVENIENT FOR THEM IN THAT IT WAS THE ONE THING NOT INSTALLED IN THE FACTORY) AND SO I WOULD JUST BE PUTTING A POTENTIALLY UNSAFE VEHICLE BACK ON THE ROAD. *TR

ELECTRICAL WIRING HARNESS ENGINE FAILURE ,ALL POWER WAS LOST. HARNESS REPLACED , WIRES GROUNDED OVER. *AK

THIS IS MY 2ND NISSAN TITAN IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS! I TRADED IN A 2005 WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES BECAUSE OF 3 FULL TIRE SET REPLACEMENTS AND NEW BRAKES AT 6,000 MILES AND PROBLEMS THAT THE DEALER STATED ARE CURRENTLY FIXED IN THE NEW 2007 MODELS. MY NEW 2007 AT 1200 MILES DEALER REPLACED DEFECTIVE RIMS WITH A NEW SET OF DEFECTIVE RIMS THAT ARE A AFTER MARKET PLASTIC HUBCAP GLUED TO THE STEEL RIM WHICH IS CLICKING AND POPPING WHILE IN MOTION AND AFTER 15 MINUTES DRIVING WHEN I PARK THEY STILL POP AND CLICK UNTIL THEY COMPLETELY COOL DOWN WHICH IS ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER. I ALSO HAVE THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW GO DOWN BY ITSELF AND STOP EXACTLY AT 3 INCHES AFTER I ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE IT, MY AC DOES NOT COOL AT ALL AND OFTEN DOES NOT COME ON EVEN WHEN MY GPS SCREEN SAYS IT IS SET ON HIGH AND RUNNING I HAVE TO PULL OVER TURN OFF TRUCK THEN RESTART TRUCK TO GET AC TO COME ON. DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A TSB ON IT THAT I GAVE THEM! DEALER SAID WINDOW PROBLEM IS DUE TO GEORGIA HEAT, IT IS DOING WHAT IT IS SUPPOSE TO DO BUT MY OTHER 3 WINDOWS DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM! MY RIMS THEY STATED THAT THEY WANT TO PUT MORE GLUE A TSB TECH TO FIX THE PROBLEM! THAT IS NOT A REPAIR THAT IS A BAND AID THAT WILL NOT HOLD WITH THE HEAT TIRES PUT OFF! AS OF NOW I WILL NEVER EVER PURCHASE ANY NISSAN EVER AGAIN AND I WILL BE BUYING NEW RIMS FOR MY TRUCK AND NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS HAS NOT HELPED AT ALL WHAT SO EVER ONLY TELL ME TO DO THE TSB GLUE REPAIR AND EVEN THOUGH I PAID 1800.00 EXTRA FOR CHROME RIM PACKAGE THEY WILL NOT REFUND OR PURCHASE NEW RIMS AT ALL SO I AM ON MY OWN. *TR

NISSAN MURANO 2003 HAS PROBLEM WITH PRESSURE SENSOR INSIDE TRANSMISSION. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO HESITATE, 10-15 SECONDS BEFORE YOU CAN ACCELERATE. THIS ONLY STARTED 2 WEEKS AGO AND I HAVE 89K MILES ON IT. I ALMOST WAS STUCK BY AN ONCOMING VEHICLE DUE TO THE HESITATION. THERE ARE MANY MORE STORIES LIKE MINE ON EDMUNDS.COM. NISSAN DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION BUT CLEARLY STATES THAT THE DEFECT WAS CORRECTED IN THE LATER MODELS. BIG SAFETY ISSUE, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

ENGINE BROKE DOWN ON A 2002 NIACIN MAXIM & COULD NOT STEER CAR CORRECTLY. IT COULD NOT GO WITHOUT WEAVING BACK & FORTH, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS ONLY 15,000. MILES ON CAR & IT IS REGULARLY SERVICED & MAINTAINED GREATLY (E.G. KEPT IN GARAGE,NEVER LEFT UNLOCK,ETC.)THERE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES & INVOLVED A $900. REPAIR BILL, FOR WHICH NIACIN DID NOTHING TO COMPENSATE FOR OR APOLOGIZE FOR. IF I HAD NOT HAD AAA TOW IT TO THE DEALER, THERE WOULD HAVE SURELY BEEN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. FORTUNATELY, THIS OCCURRED AT NIGHT & I HAD I ONLY 3 BLOCKS TO GET IT HOME WHEN THERE WEREN'T ANY CARS THE ROAD. *JB

MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WEREN'T WORKING. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ZIMBRICK NISSAN IN MADISON, WI. THEY FOUND THAT THE SPLINES WERE STRIPPED OFF THE WIPER ARMS. RATHER THAN REPLACING THE ARMS WITH NEW ONES, THEY GLUED THE NONFUNCTIONAL ARMS BACK ON THE VEHICLE WITH LOCKTITE AND STATED IN WRITING THAT EVERYTHING WAS NOW WORKING FINE.. THESE DAMAGED ARMS COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME AND IF THE DRIVER COULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO LOSS OF VISION. IF THE DRIVER IS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND/OR AT HIGH SPEED ON A HIGHWAY THERE COULD BE AN ACCIDENT, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN LOSS OF LIFE. I COMPLAINED TO NISSAN ABOUT THIS, BUT THE PERSON, WHO IDENTIFIED THEMSELVES AS A CUSTOMER SERVICE WORKER, SAID THAT THE DEALER HAD A FREE HAND TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANTED. I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE REUSE OF A DAMAGED PART ON AN IMPORTANT SYSTEM OF THE VEHICLE THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND THEY SAID THAT WAS THE DEALERS DISCRETION ALSO. I DON'T THINK THAT AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS AND DEALERS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO PUT DAMAGED PARTS ON VEHICLES THAT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A 2005 MAXIMA SL IN OCTOBER OF 2004. WE HAVE HAD THE FRONT STRUTS REPLACED 5 TIMES. THIS IS AN INCONVENIENCE FOR US. WHEN WE ASKED THE DEALER WHY THIS KEEPS HAPPENING, THEY STATED IT'S ONLY IN THE NEW YORK, TRI-STATE AREA. THE SOUTH AND WEST COAST DOES NOT ENCOUNTER THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO US. THEY CLAIMS THAT THE NEW YORK CITY STREETS IS THE REASON FOR THE ISSUE. WE NEED HELP!!!!!!!!! *JB

I HAVE A 1996 NISSAN SENTRA GXE. VIN NUMBER IS 3N1AB41D0TL0XXXXX. THERE ARE THREE OPEN RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE: 1. VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:LINKAGES 2. SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS 3. EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS NONE OF THE NISSAN DEALERS IN MY AREA HAVE OFFERED TO FIX ANY OF THESE RECALL ISSUES FOR FREE (AS IS REQUIRED BY FEDERAL AND STATE LAW). MY VEHICLE STILL HAS THESE SAFETY DEFECTS IN IT AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE I KNOW THAT NISSAN IS ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THESE RECALL DEFECTS. *NM

1998 MERCURY VILLAGER PURCHASED USED IN 2003. IDLE THROTTLE BODY FAILED IN 2006, MERCURY DEALER TOOK TWO WEEKS TO FIND THE PART AND REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. IDLE THROTTLE BODY FAILED AGAIN IN EARLY 2007. DEALER TOOK TWO WEEKS AGAIN TO FIND PART AND DID NOT CHARGE ME BUT I HAD TO RENT A CAR AT MY EXPENSE. TODAY 9/30/07 THE SAME SYMPTOM OF THE CAR ACCELERATING TO 1500 RPM INTERMITTENTLY WHILE SITTING STOPPED AT A LIGHT HAS BEGUN AGAIN INSTEAD OF CONSTANT 800 RPM WHEN THIS PART IS WORKING CORRECTLY. I WILL HAVE TO WAIT ON THE DEALER TO FIND A PART AND REPAIR IT AGAIN AT MY INCONVENIENCE AND EXPENSE. HAVE OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE ENGINE EXPERIENCED THE SAME REPEATED SAFETY AND WASTE OF FUEL ISSUE? *TR

SINCE LEASE OF VEHICLE IN JULY 2005, MANY PROBLEMS. MOST RECENT IS LACK OF ACCELERATION AT RANDOM TIMES. VEHICLE WAS FIXED AND IN LESS THAT A WEEK OF IT RETURNED TO ME, PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. I DO NOT HAVE ANY WARNING THAT THE CAR WILL CEASE TO ACCELERATE. IT IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY WITH MY CHILDREN OR OTHERS CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I AM AFRAID FOR MY CHILDREN'S LIVES AS WELL AS MY OWN WHEN I AM DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE REQUIRED A NEW ENGINE WHEN IT WAS SLIGHTLY MORE THAN A YEAR OLD, IT HAS HAD MANY OTHER THINGS WRONG WITH IT, HOWEVER THIS IS THE MOST SERIOUS AND POSSIBLY DEADLY. *TR

MY ENTIRE REAR AXLE HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 31,500 MILES ON MY NISSAN TITAN. IT STARTED HOWLING AND SMOKING WHEN DRIVING TO MOAB. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE. THANKFULLY I WAS NOT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN THE REAR END FAILED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE HAS HAD 4 SETS OF BRAKES/ROTORS/CALIPERS ON THE VEHICLE AND IS STARTING TO EXHIBIT SIGNS OF NEEDING THE FIX AGAIN. *JB

STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TIGHTENING MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO MOVE. TURNING BECAME ARDUOUS , SLOW AND SCARY. WE WENT TO THE NISSAN DEALER FOR SERVICE. THEY TOLD US THEY CORRECTED IT. BUT, THE PROBLEM RETURNED SHORTLY THEREAFTER. SO WE RETURNED THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIR. THEY TOLD US THAT THE ORIGINAL REPAIR DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM (OBVIOUSLY). THEY NEEDED A NEW STEERING PART. THE AGENCY CALLED THAT THE PART ARRIVED. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED AGAIN AND LEFT ALL DAY ONLY TO LEARN THAT THE PART DELIVERED TO THEM WAS WRONG. THEY 'JERRY-RIGGED' IT AND TOLD US THEY WOULD CALL WHEN THE NEW PART ARRIVED. THE STEERING IS OK BUT THEY WARNED US THAT IT NEEDED TO BE CORRECTLY REPAIRED. THE AGENCY HAS NOT YET CALLED BACK . IT IS ODD THAT A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 35,000 MILES WOULD HAVE SERIOUS, SEVERE STEERING PROBLEMS. IT IS DISMAYING THAT WE PAID TO REPAIR A PROBLEM ONLY FOR IT TO IMMEDIATELY RETURN. THEN IT IS ANNOYING TO WAIT ALL DAY TO LEARN THAT THE DELIVERED PART WAS THE WRONG PART. AND, I AM SUSPICIOUS THAT MAYBE THE PART WASN'T WRONG, BUT THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO CORRECTLY FIX THE PROBLEM. IS IT ENOUGH FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT THE PROBLEM ISN'T CORRECTLY FIXED? SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY SEVERAL TIMES FOR A PROBLEM TO BE CORRECTLY FIXED? *JB

PURCHASED A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA IN DECEMBER 2004. BY MARCH OF 2005, THE STRUT ASSEMBLIES (BOTH) HAD BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES AND THE VEHICLE WAS IN AN ADDITIONAL TIME FOR THE SAME COMPLAINT OF NOISE IN THE STRUT ASSEMBLY BUT WAS REPAIRED TO NO AVAIL. MAY 25, 2005: NOISE IN THE FRONT END AGAIN. UPON INSPECTION FROM THE AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN CORPUS CHRISTI, TX, IT WAS SAID THAT THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM A FAULTY RACK AND PINION. PRIOR TO THIS (UPON CONCLUSION THAT THE STRUTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED A THIRD TIME), I ASKED NISSAN TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE. THEY REFUSED. THIS VEHICLE'S FRONT END IS NOT REPAIRABLE AND HAZARDOUS. THE CAR, AT THIS TIME, HAS 17K MILES AND NEEDS TO BE EITHER REPLACED OR BOUGHT BACK.

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO SL [XXX] AND DUE TO RECALL NUMBER 06V048000, I TOOK IN MY VEHICLE TO HAVE THE GAS TANK SHIELD AND SAFETY BELT WEBBING INSTALLED TO ST CHARLES NISSAN INC, ST PETERS, MO (NISSAN DEALER NO. SCN). UPON MY VEHICLE'S RETURN, I FIND THERE IS NO 2ND ROW LH SEAT BELT CLIP FOR ME TO INSERT EITHER THE 2ND ROW LH SEAT BELT OR MY CHILD SEAT SECURING HARNESS INTO. THERE WERE 3 CLIPS PRIOR TO MY TAKING THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP - ONE FOR 2ND ROW RH, ONE IN THE MIDDLE AND ONE FOR 2ND ROW LH. NOW THERE ARE ONLY 2 AND I CAN SEE VISIBLE SIGNS OF THE LH SEAT BELT CLIP HAVING BEING CUT OFF FROM THE SEAT. THIS PREVENTS ME FROM ATTACHING MY CHILD SEAT FOR LH REAR PASSENGER TO USE A SEAT BELT. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE DEALERSHIPS FAULT OR NISSAN'S DIRECTION TO THE DEALERSHIP TO REMOVE THE SEAT BELT CLIP, BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW THERE IS NO WAY I CAN USE A CHILD SEAT AS THERE IS NO PLACE TO SECURE THE HARNESS ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE. *NM UPDATED 07/16/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

THIS CAR HAS BEEN A LEMON SINCE DAY ONE, IN AND OUT OF DEALERSHIP FOR ONE REASON OR THE OTHER, IT STARTED WITH THE CAR RUNNING HARD, DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE I HAVE BROKE THE CAR IN AND NOW THIS IS HOW THEY RUN, TOOK IT BACK AGAIN 3 TO 4 MORE TIMES WITH SAME PROBLEM,TOLD THEM CAR IDLES HIGH, SHIFTS BAD, RUNS BAD, THEY SAID NOTHING WRONG, I DO ALOT OF HIGHWAY MILES AND AS SOON AS I WAS OVER THE MILES AND OUT OF THE WARRENTY THEY TOLD ME THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE GONE ONLY 800 TO GET FIXED, I WAS THEN HIT BY A CAR HEAD ON AND REALLY HURT I SUFFERED MAJOR BACK PROBLEMS , COME TO FIND OUT I PROBABY COULD HAVE PREVENTED SOME OF THE DAMAGE TO MY SELF IF I HAD A SAVER CAR, MY AIR BAGS DIDN;T DEPLOY. I HAVE HAD EVERY RECALL TO THIS CAR , THE SERVICE MEN AT THE DEALSERSHIPS ARE THE RUDEST MEN I HAVE EVER DELT WITH. I WAS RIGHT THE WHOLE TIME !!!!! I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING WITH THE LIGHTS COST AROUND 800 TO FOX KEPT CHANGING THE LIGHTS NOT TO MENTIONS THE TICKETS I RECIEVED FROM THE COPS , I EXPLAINED TO THEM THE LIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT, THEY ARE LIKE THIS IS A 02 THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN, IF THEY ONLY KNEW!!! I AM REALLY TIRED OF THIS CAR , NOW I WAS JUST TOLD THAT THE CAR HAS ANOTHER PROBLEM, IT OVER HEATS THEY THINK IT MIGHT BE THE THEROSTAT BUT THEY DON'T KNOW. HOW MUCH MONEY WILL THAT COST ME???
