Check engine light came on, first shift was "hard." According to dealer, new ECU (installed previous week) allowed existing problem with the transmission solenoid to surface, which required the replacement of the transmission solenoid. |

Problems with transmission - hard shift. Dealer could not figure it out, had to take it to transmission specialist. Turned out to be a bad wire in wiring harness -- was bypassed. |

Low pressure in clutch pedal on occasion, engages close to the floor, no slippage felt. Hard to put in gear one cold morning. Dealer diagnosis was clutch replacement needed. Decided to get other opinion. I suspect hydraulic system problem. |

I had low pressure in the clutch pedal. I first flushed clutch fluid and then I had to replace clutch master cylinder. Clutch problem seems fixed. |

Engine failure due to Nissan defect!! Nissan refuses to warranty like many other other claims! From 02-05 Nissan customers replaced over 60,000 2.5 L motors in these cars and majority was out of customers pocket!!! NO MORE NISSANS!!!! Motor went out again Nissan told me they could not garantee me it wouldn't do it again. Nearly caused a catastrophe!! Department of Highway Safety needs to look into this problem and do something about it!! |
