| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2002 nissan sentra se-r we own has been giving us a re-occurring problem with both the unified meter that controls the speedometer and affects the ecm to throw up the engine light to come on..causes a massive slow down in speed when the speedometer goes out while driving..brought this to the attention to a local nissan dealer, mike shad of orange park and was informed not to worry about the engine light and just have the ecm "reflashed". we followed the instructions from the service center of mike shad nissan and had the system reflashed..speedometer worked briefly and went out again..to this day it continues to stay on "engine light", and the speedometer still works off and on and continues to wreak havoc on maintaining a safe speed. also a major issue regarding the "long engine crank time before engine starts". i have found information thru the internet informing there is a tsb on this issue on this particular vehicle ('02 sentra) and have submitted an email to the service dept of mike shad nissan to address this issue but no response. this problem with the crank time endangers not only me but my family as well. i cannot trust the car to crank properly which therefore puts the reliability factor in jeopardy when my wife drives the car to pick up my daughter for school and use the vehicle to and from work. i found information about this problem thru the nissanhelp website regarding the technical service bulletin "long engine crank time before engine starts" indicating a primary part failure on a faulty fuel pump that needs to repaired/replaced... *tr |
