ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL
I TOOK DELIVERY OF THIS AUTO 11/17/94. ON 10/11/95, A REAR OXYGEN SENSOR WAS REPLACED AT 5510 MILES, UNDER WARRANTY. SOMETIME AFTER THAT, IN 1996, I RECEIVED AN UNDATED BULLETIN FROM NISSAN, ACKNOWLEDGING A PROBLEM WITH THEIR EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM AND EXTENDING A "LIMITED WARRANTY" TO 5 YEARS OR 60,000 MILES. ON 7/11/00, A FRONT O2 OXYGEN SENSOR WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT 43,121 MILES. ON 2/6/2001, A THIRD O2 OXYGEN SENSOR WAS REPLACED AT 45,408 MILES, WITH A COST TO ME OF $636.17. THIS INDICATES TO ME THAT THEY PROBLEM IS MORE SERIOUS THAN REPLACING O2 OXYGEN SENSORS, AND IF IN FACT IT IS THE O2 OXYGEN SENSORS - THEY ALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED BEFORE THEIR "LIMITED WARRANTY EXTENSION" EXPIRED. I BELIEVE I HAVE A LEGITIMATE COMPLAINT AND THAT NISSAN HAS AN OBLIGATION TO HONOR IT BY REIMBURSING ME AND REPLACING THE 4TH O2 OXYGEN SENSOR IN THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM, AND ANY OTHER PARTS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM. *AK
