Occasional flickering lights, charging connections, mirror operations, and engine stalling still remained.

We we traveling in georgia last month and Nissan didn't even have a qualified diesel tech with 3 hours of where we were.

The dashboard engine light came on and would not go off. 3. The robbins Nissan dealership I took my truck to in humble, TX. 77338 lied and said this failure was caused by rodent damage; which I know for a fact that my garage is very clean and I've never even seen any signs of rodents. 4. I first noticed a problem approximately in June of 2021 when the dashboard engine light came on and never went off. 5. By this dealership blaming it on rodent damage, this defective harness was not covered by the Nissan north America, inc. Warranty, so I was charged $1,522. 14 for this repair.
