Why does it need TLC? I don't have access to a full garage with a lift? And a guy with some knowledge on cars?
It was a known problem with the Q18DE... Nissan recalled hundreds of thousands of them, and honestly needed to expand the recall more... but since at the time most were nearing the end of warranty coverage I doubt they cared.

My car is perfect now functionally, only after a $950 bill from the Nissan Dealer themselves. I don't think I'll have anymore problems now that that "defect" (IMO) is fixed... but still the fact that it was a known problem and not easily fixed by the end user is BS.

Oh well, like I said... it's that problem and other problems I've heard from countless Nissan owners on boards and locally that have turned me off. That, and warranty problems seem to be difficult to get taken care of even when they are covered.

No, the fact that you didn't do ANYTHING (that I can recall) to fix the issue for a LONG time. Neither one of us are easy on cars... and I worked on my car a lot long before I knew anyone with a lift. You do more audio than me, I do more general cars than you... it's just where you put your effort.

All cars have problems, all of them.

I like the Malibu Maxx for some reason. Probably because I am a square.

After I cleaned my MAF sensor, it's like I have a brand new truck!

Well like I said, didn't have $1k to drop on it for Nissan to fix it.

Tried all the fixes I could find on the sentra forums that were not too costly. Cleaned the MAF, Replaced the CPS and IACV, replaced a coil, and even fuel pressure sensor... all to no avail....

There weren't any repercussions to waiting, just dealing with something faulty that Nissan put out. Took it to the dealer, dropped near $1k, and it's like a new car performance wise and has been ever since...

It's the point of it being a well known problem with the Q18... but oh well...

I've heard nothing of the Q18... point proven.

my truck gets way better gas mileage, has more power, and has a distinct growl to the exhaust I've never heard before. lol

With my Mom's Murano it was less than a year old and they didn't want to cover any of the problems under warranty. My dad basically had to get our company lawyer involved before the dealership would fix the problems. Then they still wanted to charge us this ridiculously expensive shop fee for diagnosing the warranty related problems. This wasn't just one dealership either. One in Lima, Fort Wayne, and even one here in Cincinnati. It literally broke down in all 3 places which is why 3 dealerships were involved.

Sounds like an awesome idea.

I like by Buick Century. So I'm guessing I'm a square as well.

Well if i was to buy any foreign car i have access to discount parts. My dad works on cars and knows a hell of a lot more than me. But i sure dont want a car breaking down on me on the highways, and the issues Noah had were terrible. The Accord was a wonderful car and i wasnt to easy on it to say the least and it held up great.

I've never been a big Honda guy. But, they aren't bad to work on and they seem to last a long *** time.

The worst cars to work on... Ford. That Crown Vic Police Interceptor I have is an absolute cunt. Everything is just piled on top of everything else. The Excursion is the same way.
