Car wouldn't start randomly, with plenty of battery. Got worse. Had it towed twice to the dealer. No code thrown. They found nothing wrong except battery was weak/dead. I would charge battery overnight. I explained that was because it was used up (by me, them) trying to start the vehicle. They wouldn't work on it unless I replaced the battery. I went elsewhere ($$) to do that. They had to consult with a Nissan upper level technical team and found a defective fuel pump relay. I paid for that. Requested a refund for earlier charges. Pissed off about buying a new battery. You didn't want to hear all this (unless you're Angies list). You're welcome. (Thanks-MK.)

This car showed a check engine light out of the blue one day. It was called P159"D". No one, not even dealer, had ever even heard of the code before. Said they would investigate and get back with me. I found a shop that said they knew and that it was the engine storing up loads of carbon and the oxygen sensor(s) were either bad, the intake was clogged somewhere, the catalytic converter was shot, or that it could be other things similar to those that stored carbon could affect negatively. They said it shouldn't be storing all that much carbon, clogging and damaging parts, and that they would keep it and go over everything they thought it could be, then call and let me know. When they called(5 hours later at $120 an hour!) they informed me the oxygen sensors were clogged and dirty and they felt they were throwing the code. I asked how much to replace, total for replacement of both o2 sensors, and cleaning of throttle thing, cat check(which was recommended to replace before too late)and the trouble shooting this dirty, clogged, carbon storing, all on the inside of the engine, was 1200 bucks! For a stupid code no one has ever heard of! What?? Btw, never got a call one from Nissan Dealership! Paid the shop, picked up car and the dang code came back last week!!
