Electronic sensor failure, again. This is the 5th sensor to fail as well as the computer- bad electronics.

Nissan dealership service diagnosed air flow meter failure - engine light on p0171 b1 fuel lean. Event happened at same time as when the crank sensor and ecm case recall work done except dealership claims separate - not part of covered recall work. Auto only has 64,889 miles and dealership claims engine trouble and repair over $600. Nissan dealership stated Toyota slaes dealership should have noticed this during claimed 160 point inspection, as could not have happended in short time of my ownership. Toyota dealership who sold it also did not repair or disclose wheel recall and owner, in just one year of ownership, had to replace three flat/damaged and irrepairable tires as a result, out-of-pocket. Now for Nissan to diagnose engine air flow meter failure at same time as other engine recalls is just too ironic timing. Believe should be part of these same related or another recall.
