Took it to the dealer for the repairs except for the plastic lining in the fender well, which they fixed and lined up. After a few weeks, I noticed there...

Given my ineptness of vehicle interworkings, I thought I'd post on this site. For the last couple of months my '05 Pathfinder has been slow to start. It's not a battery issue, as I recently had this replaced. The truck turns over fine, but some mornings (this usually happens in the morning after tr...
