Filed Jul 19, 2017 · Body, Fuel system · 65 miles · CT

Takata inflators: understanding that it is a supercharger and it will not get the fuel mileage as a four-cylinder vehicle I should not be going through this much gas and I do not have my foot in it all the time also my front driver seat is about to dismantle from the floor there is a lot of electrical issues which I'm not sure if that is what is causing sensor problems the check engine light is now on again. I have had over $3000 of my own money put into this truck along with another used motor and supercharger put in right after purchasing this truck used I would not have preferred them buying used I wanted remanufactured but it was not my choice they said. The bed of the truck is also riding out the brake system I also have to redo again which I should not have any issues. And for a supercharger it should have a lot more power than it does. I have documentation to prove that I have spent so far receipts and I do not even like taking the highway at times because I just don't feel like it safe enough to be honest with you and I should not feel that way when I just purchased this truck not even a year ago. This is the first used truck I have ever purchased where I have had so many issues with it I don't know whether not to blame myself to use dealership or the truck itself I fell in love with the truck at first sight but I will never do that again. When it rains and I'm on the highway I will lose power almost to the point where I think the engine and the engine well almost shut off I will have to get off the highway shut the truck down let it sit for about a minute or two turn it back on and then proceed if I still in losing power I will have to shut it off again and then wait until the truck is ready in order for it to have its power back I do not know what the problem is I'm not sure if too much rain is getting into the engine and I'm not sure why

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 nissan frontier. While driving approximately 30 MPH, the engine warning indicator continuously illuminated until the engine was turned off. On a separate occasion the vehicle jerked violently with a reduction in the engine power. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the knock sensor, mass air flow sensor and four oxygen sensors were replaced. The failure continued to occur after the repair was performed. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic for the second time and the wiring harness was replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the problem and they informed the contact that the wiring harness connectors exhibited corrosion as a result of not being weatherproof during production. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000. Updated 04/10/12*lj the consumer stated he spent close to $2000 repairing the vehicle. The check engine light continued to illuminate, after replacing the o2 sensors four times. Also, the wiring harness had to be replaced because when the vehicle was manufactured it was not weather proof which caused corrosion in the wires, which sent incorrect signals to the vehicle's computer. The consumer no longer owns the vehicle. Updated 05/31/12

Dealer is denying responsibility for the problems I am having. I brought the truck 4 times for ABS, 3 for A/C not working & engine light remains on. I just finished arbitration and bbb auto line decided that ABS is not a safety issue despite the fact that the nissan manual shows the importance of it in braking. I think the arbitrator is not fair and influence directly by the dealership. *jb ***dimssii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis***770777

While driving at about 70 to 75, under acceleration, I heard a loud noise and then the vehicle's rpms dropped down to about 500 as if the vehicle had no gas. I pulled over and turned the truck off I made sure that there was gas, and started the vehicle again and the check engine light came on. It seemed to run at about the correct RPM so I took it directly to the dealer. They had it for a week, and ultimately said that it was a bad oxygen sensor (the vehicle is supercharged) that caused the problem. I am not too confident in that explanation. God willing, the problem is fixed. The truck was only 3 weeks old at the time of the incident.
