Breeze Man

I have the V-6 (Silver Nismo 4x4 CC). As I stated to the dealer, it sounded like a rattling noise. At first, I thought it might be a heat shield because the noise sounded "tinny" to me. The noise progressively got louder as time went on. I seemed to happen under acceleration. The dealers TSB said to check for a code error but nothing showed up when they tested my truck. They agreed to replace the item based on my description because they already had a truck in with the same description/problem. Try this - open the hood, start the engine, stand on the pass. side of the engine and have a buddy bring the RPM's up slowly. You should be able to hear this rattle noise. Good luck!!

My light when on again......it's back in the shop....

This is the SECOND time now, took it to the original dealership I bought it from. They haven't heard of the problem. Once I mentioned I did my research on different Nissan forums, he explained the discussions are subjective (true to a point), but I explained to him that there are MANY around the country with this problem. I also explained that there ARE dealerships that know and dont know about this issue. I provided to him 2 issues, one for the oil pump noise and the other for the intake valve noise. So, a tech (hopefully not the subjective type) will hear and notice the same noise. There is a guy in my area that bought the same truck, which is quieter compared to mine.

I just HATE when service reps are subjective. It just kills a convesation. As a service tech, all they need to do is write down the issues, test the issues, explain to the customer what the outcome is, and if there are charges or not....plain and simple...but, noooo.....they have to be subjective, discounting everything I say. Is that a normal business routine?

Shit.....I have NEVER experienced this much difficulties. BMW, Lexus, Land Rover service centers are WAY different. Maybe I should have bought a blinged out truck, just to get the service I need.....???!!!

Sorry for the rant....
