My car dies out while driving. I've replaced so many parts already and it keeps leaving me stranded.
My car keeps stalling out like it's not getting gas.
The engine service soon have been on for quite some time now. I tried to take it to several smog places to get it smogged , and the mechanic have told me that the smog scanner cannot read the computer of my car.
Immediately after I exited my building garage and made right turn on city street on a clear summer day afternoon the engine sound began roaring and vehicle suddenly accelerating. I tried to control the vehicle forcibly hitting on the brakes, shifting gears to neutral, turning off the engine but the vehicle kept on going and ran-away uncontrollably till I made two left turns and ended up on a side walk with the rear tire blown out and the car stopped after colliding with some public utility box. The vehicle has incomplete recall #r0402 and nhsta recall #04v-230 regarding the fuel sending unit. There was a local police report #200057082. Suspected causes could be flaws in the vehicle electronic throttle control system that produced faulty signal of fully depressed accelerator pedal.
I started the car this morning. The odometer, tachometer and speedometer did not work. The odometer was blank. I drove the car and the speedometer or tachometer did not work. This same thing happened to me at night, about a year ago. The panel lights also did not work. The next day, everything worked fine. It did not correct itself this tome. The instruments are still not working.
Fuel sending unit rusted and corroted gas guage in accurate reading.
Gauges went blank or stopped working for approxamtely 10 mins then started to work on its own.
While operating vehicle it would stall then restart,it finale quit and was towed to dealership. Was told it sounded like the fuel sending unit,two days later received a phone call from dealer and told problem was ecu/ecm which failed because a/c drain had clogged and condensation ruined control unit which is not covered under extended warranty because it is determined by the dealer and Nissan corp. To be collateral damage. Have read owners manual cover to cover and at no time does it say to make sure drain is clear or it could cause this condition which they claim is my fault, at this time I have filed a report with the bbb as per their manual and am waiting for an arbitrator to be assigned.
