The Nissan Path

So I been having some problems with my PF for the past two weekends. During the day the PF works fine and by night it stalls and then it won't start. Every time I tried to start the PF the engine would vibrate (kinda like is running out of gas) and when I pressed down the accelerator it stalls. Took it to the dealership and it turns out the IPDM is bad and for $500 they can fix it but I don't know what to do. So my option is to take it and fix it or buy it and fix it my self which will cost me $250 plus the diagnostics because my warranty expired two months ago

Have any of you had this problem before and did you fixed it? If you did how did it go?

I would raise a stink at the dealership and ask them how much they like having me as a customer. your warrenty expired a few weeks ago i am sure they can fudge numbers to have it covered. ask them what this says for thier product. cant hurt give it a shot.

The funny thing is that I did it and it did not help. However I did tell them that the PF better not fail otherwise they will pay to fix it while I enjoy a free rental. He didn't like that but what is one left to do.

I dont know. thats what I did when i had the transmission replaced in my wifes ford car and ford picked up some of the repair costs. the car was out of warrenty timewise but not milage.

normally the line of reasoning I use with the dealer if just out of warranty is that I noticed problems before the warranty expired. If you can convince them that there was an issue during the warranty period (ie you had them look at it for similar issue), they are more likely to cover.

Short of that, a call to Nissan USA may be in order if the dealer won't budge. Or find a different dealer. You'd think these days they would be hungry to keep customers happy and coming back to buy more vehicles.

You would think they want to keep their costumers happy but instead they drive them away. Over here they stop doing service on Saturday, and they did try to sell me a new one. Trading mine at this time I would end up with negative numbers that would transfer to the new one... that happen to me once and don't plan on making the same mistake.

Anyway, I told them it has only been a couple of months since it expired and that I had a month or so noticed how sometimes it would lack power but it did not work. I called the other dealer but they told me the same.

Needless to say I payed the 500 to get it fix but not before speaking to the service guy about how piss I would be if I have to come back. That made him a think twice the words comming out of mouth with every explanation.

u should try another dealer. i would. what's a ipdm ?
