2008 Nissan Pathfinder 4dr SUV

266-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD

10000 mi I had it evaluated for a consistent knock: the first time after each start about when the vehicle shifts into 2nd gear. It was explained that this is the sound of the ABS pump filling (or performing some function) and some are louder than others.  
40000 mi Steering angle sensor stopped working and vehicle set three codes related to angle sensor. Part cost aprox 132.00 ( wholesale cost) and took me 1/2 hour to install. Vehicle then needed a scanner that could align angle sensor.
