problem #1

Jan 072004

Frontier 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 26,815 miles
Upon having Nissan dealer troubleshoot reason for "service engine soon" light being on at 26,800 miles on my 2000 Nissan Frontier, I was told that the emissions system evap canister had "exploded" and charcoal pellets contaminated the system, requiring total replacement of the charcoal canister and evap valve to the tune of $597. Being that item is part of emissions system and requires zero maintenance by the consumer, I was shocked to learn that the item was not covered under the emissions warranty.
