Just got the estimate from the dealer $2200 to replace the stereo unit which is the module that drives everything..

I think I'll deal with wrong presets for a few years

I think I have the same issue. At first I thought it was operator error... But this affects too many things.. It seems anything thats memory related in my center console does not work. The MPG are not memorized.. I push reset and my current mpg reading gets returned to 18.2 mpg no matter how I been ...

Update: Just had front and rear diffs and transfercase done. Tech said front and rear diffs didnt look too bad at all, "been serviced before" but transfer case fluid looked "horrible, likely original". Now all that's left is plugs.. But the truck runs so well I am not sure it nee...

My mpg display seems to reset after every engine start

When I got this truck a couple of weeks ago the mpg display read 18.2. I would reset it and duirng that drive it would display. but anytime I turn the engine off (which you would many many times in the life of a tank of gas) it resets to 18.2 mpg.

Yes the VQ40 has had a change in recommended intervals .

In XTerras its the same.
VQ40 used to be recommend at 3750 (normal/light) or 7500 (severe service) in my 05
My former '15 XTerra with the same VQ40 however read "every 5000 miles" and had no severe or light service distinction.
