2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER with 70000.0 miles

The service engine soon' has been on and off for about 1 year on my 2001 Nissan Pathfinder (mileage is a little over 70,000). I take the car to a garage (delmar auto & radiator inc., 90 adams street, delmar, ny 12054, 518-439-0311) on 8/1/08 to have it diagnosed ($144.40) and the code says the oxygen sensor (P0140) needs replacement ($219.37). The work is done and after about 80 miles the service engine soon comes back on. I take the car back to the garage (8/7/08) have it diagnosed ($144.40) and the code says mass air flow signal is weak ($563.00). The work is done and after about 20 miles the service engine soon comes back on. I call the garage (8/18/08) after they return from vacation and they will take the vehicle to a Nissan dealer and have the ecm reprogrammed at cost.

2000 INFINITI I30 with 500.0 miles

Subject* ses cover-up by Infiniti? Comments* cust states the service engine soon warning light is illuminated 1 the problem originated on june 27, 2002 16,068-odo-mileage actions taken work ordered warranty active P0140 rear o2 sensor has excessive high voltage after further research i gained knowledge of an Infiniti september 6, 2001 service bulletin classification ec01 024 reference itb01 052 2000 01 130 mil on?? With dtc P1320 and or spark knock detonation due to ignition coil s substitution of the computer would be a good diagnostic tool unfortunately because the programming is specific to each engine transmission combination and because it a pricey electrical part this is just not done. So they will check on a dvm or scope at the leads of both sensors mentioned to see if everything is on the up and up from the computer. If so, replacing the sensors would be the likely next step. I was not properly informed of the pre existing condition with the 2000-01 I30s i was not allowed to have any input in this recall and or subsequent slow deterioration within these vital controlling electrical parts. Perception of a cover up is being fought by me i am requesting a retroactive review back to june 27, 2002 of this matter under my new research material i am furious that i was no??T granted the common courteous in 2002 of being informed are there more undisclosed situations that i am not aware of? Had i known in 2002 what i know today i would have filed a complaint and or an inquiry. That way i would not have lost my expiration date of filing and would be on record instead of filing in 2005 06 i am perceiving this in that manner holding such crucial information from a consumer is not fair nor justice for consumers under what lawful writings forbid consumers of such crucial information only a home is above this expenditure [email protected]. Send your dilemma to me! *nm

1999.5 Volkswagen Jetta gls vr6, always getting dtc codes of P1117, P0140, P1198, P1472, P1435, P0102, P0343, P1421.. That always says about open or short circuit conditions and poor electrical connections, and short to grounds for electrical, which is all electrical problems, if you search online them codes you will see numerous people with the same problems, and as well as alot of us have to buy the parts that is listed and problems still aren't fixed, which tells us its an electrical issue, not issues with the parts, which causes our #43 fuse blow alot, and alot of hesitation and stalling, i cant even turn around a corner or to get off the highway without stalling, please fix these problems, its happening to way to many of us and it is also an safety issue. *tt
