2017 Nissan Versa: check engine light

Filed May 31, 2023 · Electrical, Engine · MD

Car will only start sporadically. Had both camshaft sensors replaced, check engine light still on. Unable to predict when vehicle will start. Sometimes it will rev up but wont actually start. Dealership says it needs ECM and engine harness replaced. I have had to get it towed several times from several random parking lots or streets because it wouldn't start. Wont pass an emissions test even though sensors were replaced, check engine lights wont go off.

Hydrocarbons are leaking into the car cabin. I have taken my car to nissan several times and had two regional tech specialists look at the vehicle. I even gave nissan the name of the mechanics that found the leak as well as a copy of my medical record that said I had carbon dioxide poisoning. The last inspection I had with nissan they refused to give me a copy of the invoice/workorder. Nissan said if I wanted a copy I would have to go through the legal department. Now the check engine light is on. I bought the car brand new. I has less than 20,000 miles and I took it to the dealer 10 times for the same engine leak that I making me sick.
