Car will only start sporadically. Had both camshaft sensors replaced, check engine light still on. Unable to predict when vehicle will start. Sometimes it will rev up but wont actually start. Dealership says it needs ECM and engine harness replaced. I have had to get it towed several times from several random parking lots or streets because it wouldn't start. Wont pass an emissions test even though sensors were replaced, check engine lights wont go off.

HYDROCARBONS ARE LEAKING INTO THE CAR CABIN. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO NISSAN SEVERAL TIMES AND HAD TWO REGIONAL TECH SPECIALISTS LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. I EVEN GAVE NISSAN THE NAME OF THE MECHANICS THAT FOUND THE LEAK AS WELL AS A COPY OF MY MEDICAL RECORD THAT SAID I HAD CARBON DIOXIDE POISONING. THE LAST INSPECTION I HAD WITH NISSAN THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME A COPY OF THE INVOICE/WORKORDER. NISSAN SAID IF I WANTED A COPY I WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT. NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW. I HAS LESS THAN 20,000 MILES AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 10 TIMES FOR THE SAME ENGINE LEAK THAT I MAKING ME SICK.

THEN CRANK THE CAR BACK UP TO DRIVE OUT THE WAY OF THE CARS BEHIND ME. I DROVE THE CAR TO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECK THE CAR. THERE WERE NO CODES IN THE COMPUTER. THE DEALERSHIP IS GOING TO KEEP THE CAR OVERNIGHT AND TEST DRIVE IT IN THE MORNING WHEN IT IS COLD. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR TWO MONTHS AGO WITH 5000 MILES. TODAY IT ONLY HAS 8000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS STALLING AND SHUTTING OFF WHEN I DRIVE IT. COMPLAINT RESULTS: TODAY, 11/30/2018 I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO GET A STATUS ON MY CAR. THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION UNIT FAILED. THEY ARE ORDERING ME A NEW TRANSMISSION. NHTSA PLEASE MAKE THIS PROBLEM KNOWN TO THE PUBLIC SO OTHER NISSAN OWNERS DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROBLEMS I AM GOING THROUGH. THANK YOU.
