EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
WHEN THE AIRCONDITIONER WAS TURNED ON THE ENGINE WILL STALL WHEN I SLOW DOWN OR STOP. AT TIMES IT PRESENTED SAFETY CONCERNS BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD LOOSE POWER OR STALL DURING TAFFIC. WHEN I HAD THE REPAIRS DONE, THE LOCAL SHOP HAD THE IAC VALVE BACK ORDERED BECAUSE THE DEALER RAN OUT OF STOCK.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
THIS VEHICLE REFUSES TO START IN COLD WEATHER NISSAN REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM THEY WERE NOTIFIED REPEATEDLY AND WOULD NOT FIX THE CAR THERE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM IS TO PULL THE FUEL PUMP FUSE TO PREVENT THE DEFECTIVE CAR FROM FLOODING. WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 3 STARTERS TRYING TO GET THIS CAR TO START IN THE WINTER. THIS HAS CAUSED LOSS OF WORK AND IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION THIS IS AN UNRELIABLE CAR IN THE WINTER.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
FUEL INJECTION WENT OUT ON CAR IN SEPT. 1998, ALL FUEL INJECTIONS WERE TO BE REPLACED ACCORDING TO NISSAN, AND MY RECEIPT SHOWS SAME. THEN ON 7/23/99 FUEL INJECTION WENT OUT AGAIN. I WAS TOLD IT WAS #3 AND THAT IT WAS LEAD TO BELIEVE IT WAS STILL ONE OF THE ORGINAL ONES. I DID NOT PAY THE FIRST TIME, SINCE I HAD A WARRANTY, AND MY MILEAGE WAS ONLY 29914. BUT 10 MONTHS LATER A FUEL INJECTION GOES AGAIN, AND I'M TOLD ITS #3. IF ALL WERE REPLACED, WHY I AM I PAYING FOR IT, WITH ONLY 32806 IN MILES? MY RECEIPT STATES WE USE NISSAN GENUINE PARTS WHICH CARRY A 12 MONTH OR 12,000 MILE. BUT THE FUEL INJECTIONS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED FOR 36000 MILES. AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT I WAS TOLD. I FEEL I HAVE BEEN MISLEAD. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN.
