Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Engine check light comes on, but firestone technicians indicate they are unable to receive an understandable code to indicate which system is failing when they did the diagnostic. It received a 707, but apparently this is not a code that goes with any failure. They have told me to go directly to a Nissan dealership to find out why the engine check light is coming on. It may be something to note, that the engine check light came on new year's day...could this mean there is a y2k computer thing going on? Please help! Thank you, heather.”
