Hi Guy's
Thought I would share my story. Short version..
Had a late 2012 STX V6 no mods apart from k&n air filter and fuel water trap. Did 40000 klms and was a lemon from 4000. Had a trans replacement @ 26000 klm , blue an intercooler @31000 klm. Axle seal drowned brakes in oil and caused chaos, etc etc etc. Not entirely happy with repairs and was a bit guttless.
Made the decision to trade on the same vehicle again just before Christmas Bought a late 13 in Dec 14 for budget reasons.
Took delivery early January 2015. Upon leaving dealership check engine light comes on......2 hours later codes cleared , suspect battery not fully charged as had been sitting for a long time.... go again and cruise set light flashes and wont allow cruise to work, trans locked in gear and loss of power. STOP, TURN OFF AND ON , seems ok..... not for long. Hapens another 6 times then car stalls in traffic. Restarts and goes........i get out of traffic and stop. Sitting idling it stalls again. Starts again......travel 150 klm and stalls at 100 kph on highway and now wont start at all. Shows the word ERROR on the odometer and car will turn over but not start. Disconnetced battery..1/2 hour......no help, started wiggling wiring harnesses near battery and bingo it goes. Travelling again and check engine light on again ....stop start again and again. 4X4 wont engage high or low , 4x4 light comes on but wont activate 4x4, chassis skeleton dissappears but wont return when turning off 4x4.....
ERROR light still happens and shuts car down with no warning , stop, OPEN BONNET, wriggle and or tap fuse block/wiring harness/connectors near battery and starts again , clear codes and engine light which have been air fuel mix and glow plug sensor , i do this with scan guage. LUCKY I TRAVEL WITH THIS OR I WOULD STILL BE ON THE HIGHWAY WAITING FOR NISSAN ROADSIDE ASSIST!
vehicle has not done 1000 klm yet............bought long way away from local dealer and very dissapointed.
On the positive........it feels like it has a bit more stick but cant be sure until it has some more klms on it.
Any thoughts welcome sorry for the rant.
