Spent $390 to diagnose a problem and to replace an o2 sensor after they "found" the problem. Had to go back to the dealership twice after they "fixed" the problem because my check engine light came back sensor after they "found" the problem. Had to go back to the dealership twice after they "fixed" the problem because my check engine light came back on with the same code that they originally "fixed" Worthless mechanics! More
My engine light was on and I decided to use the "free check engine light" coupon from Porter Nissan. The engine was checked, and I was told that my Rear oxygen sensor, and "cylinder one misfiring" were t check engine light" coupon from Porter Nissan. The engine was checked, and I was told that my Rear oxygen sensor, and "cylinder one misfiring" were the issues. I was quoted $69 for a diagnostic (free check engine??), to further assess the cylinder misfiring. Also, I was told that my catalytic converter was "old, rusted, as it is the original part" (1996 Nissan 200sx), and if the converter cracked while trying to remove the sensor, that I would be responsible, and the cost to replace the converter would be $675. I decided to take my car to another auto service shop (one that I use regularly). Nissan ended up charging me $89.95 ("free check engine" coupon??). I took my car to Delaware Tire Center, tire/auto service shop, and they checked my engine again (free!!). The service advisor explained that the problem was definitely my rear oxygen sensor, stating that it appears that I may have hit something while driving, which knocked/damaged the sensor. Also, the advisor stated that eleven months ago, my catalytic converter was changed by THEM! I feel that I was given incorrect information about my car (from Nissan), and will not be taking my vehicle back to Porter Nissan for service again. Making money appears to be their first priority.

I bought an 18,000 dollar car on 4/12/04 and 10 days later had a flat because the chrome plating on the wheels is breaking the seal between the rim and the tire. All they offered to do is scrape off t later had a flat because the chrome plating on the wheels is breaking the seal between the rim and the tire. All they offered to do is scrape off the LOOSE chrome and reseal the tire and put them back on with guarantee that it will not happen again. I looked on the NHTSA website and this is a known complaint with this vehicle. More
