2005 NISSAN SENTRA with 75150.0 miles
On june 20, 2013 i brought my 2005 Nissan Sentra into curry Nissan in yorktown hts,ny 10598 because my check engine light went on saying it was my swirl valve part # 75150 code P1138 . They charged me $110.00 to update my engine ecu as per tech bulletin . On nov. 20th my check engine light went on again and i brought it to the nearest service station and was once again told that it was the same code for the swirl valve and that i was to take it to Nissan.. I was lucky enough that this problem did not cause an accident but am i expected to have this happen every 5 or 6 months? Please advise me if this is a recall.
ENGINE,
