Car ran flawlessly until recall performed on fuel injection system. After recall, car would not idle. Returned to dealer and replaced parts. Car still did not perform well. Took back to dealer that performed recall and nothing was found. Car does not idle well and will not run over 3-5 miles without stalling or quiting entirely. Nissan was wrote, but no response was given to customer. Car sits and only is driven on occassion so not to endanger others.
