Sentra 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 43,653 miles
Car began running rough, had trouble starting, check engine light stayed on. Didn't drive much after problem. Took to dealer (leitzinger imports) where I attend college, penn state university. Problem diagnosed as P0462 - fuel/sensor circuit, as per tsb. Engine control unit needs reprogrammed which was done. My father picked up after fixed & service personnel mentioned it was a known problem with this car. Nissan North America was contacted & my father spoke with a helpful rep seeking reimbursement for work. File number with Nissan is 5463960. No known recalls, reimbursement denied but might have been different if we owned more Nissan. Was mentioned to rep that no parts were replaced which indicates it was a computer/program malfunction & not fault of owner.
