I just paid my van off when i started having engine issues.at 120,000 codes read p1701 tcm wiring , p0746 pressure control solenoid , p1778 step motor , p0868 pressure control module .is it the transmission the mechanic doesnt want to touch it just wants to change the tranny . i can not afford this. i am single mom is there not someone that can rebuild them properly ???? i bought a nissan because i thought it would last longer. i have not driven the van in 6 months its a total loss if i spend the money and it happens again then i am putting good money after bad. it's not worth anything as a down payment if i have to tow it in. has anyone got to the bottom of this??? how i found out is that i turned onto a busy street pushed the gas it wouldnt go. the car behind me had to drive upon the curve accident narrowly avoided. this sucks
3.5 l motor has unusually high oil consumption and pinging was noticed years ago when vehicle was brought in for recall and notified service advisers but they paid no attention to it saying nothing could be found. there is no oil pressure gauge to alert driver of low oil pressure. check engine icon comes on but doesn't alert driver as to what the problem is. vehicle in question was taken in for oil change months ago and was told there was very little oil but there were no warnings detected and there are no known oil leaks. checked oil level when the check engine icon came on again and topped off oil level to safe amount and the next day it came back on again with no warning signs of a very unsafe oil level(oil was not present on the dipstick). mileage for vehicle is around 70k+. once again pinging was noticed and nothing was done about it from the dealership saying that they could not detect any pinging and no known oil leaks were found with no visual evidence detected.
I was sitting at a red light when suddenly the engine started to rev very high. i pressed hard on the brake to prevent moving and turned the ignition off. i started it again and the same thing happened. the third time i tried the revving, while still higher than normal, was less. i was able to go to a parking lot and turn off the car to have it towed. *tr
