We purchased a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder used about 12 days ago with 34,000. We drove it short distances for about a 4 days with no issues. Last Saturday we drove it about an hour to a half hour and stopped for about 45 minutes. We were walking back to the car and I remoted started the auto and black smoke bellowed out of the exhaust followed by white smoke. I was greatly concerned. No other noticeable issues and not waring lights on the dash. The next morning when I started the auto the engine light was blinking and it was sputtering. We took it to the dealer and it is not under warranty due to age. We called and told them it was running badly and it had a blinking engine light. We were told not to drive it and bring it on in. Long story short, Were were told that the mechanic wanted to change all the spark plugs- Here are the words form the mech check: " CS Engine light on and running rough, Multiple MIS FIRE 23 on CYL1 1013 on CYL 2 and 6 on CYL 6- Recommend Plugs- Found Multiple Cyl misfire codes P 0101 0102 0106, Inspected plugs and found burnt...Looks as if water intrusion from TOP like maybe from washing engine. Replaced all plugs & Retested all codes gone and driving to specs."
They changed plugs and gave me the old ones that are in fact Burt looking with some white on a few of them. We have not had any warning light or driving issues but yesterday I started the car after my husband had drove it about 1 full hour. I got into the auto and started it with my car window down and white smoke comes billowing in the window when I started it. Today on start up we did not have any smoke but when he got to our destination (drove about 45 minutes) we noticed the smoke was back and its bad! What do we do? What could it be? We are taking it back to have the car looked at first thing Monday morning.
1. I do not see smoke when I start it first think in the morning
2. Smoke starts when we have driven the auto for over 30 to 45 minutes.
3. No engine light at this.
4 The first time I saw the smoke it was black then white. Since the spark plugs have been changed I have only seen white smoke.
We are so disappointed!!! But believing that God has the answer and we just may have to repair it because we have no other options for trade in or a new car purchase at this time.
