Hi folks.

My 2016 Nissan SUV needs 105k maintenance and here are estimates from a local mechanics.

Cabin air filter - $58.28 Automatic transmission drain and fill - $411.52 Transfer Case General Service - $208.79 Differential fluid exchange -$196.47 Spark Plug 105k maintenance - $299.21 Cooling system fluid flush - $276.06

Are these all necessary and reasonably priced?

I feel like these are dealer prices.

Thanks for your input!

2024 sentra sr. Figured I'd get my engine warm this morning so I remote started my car. Veriied my engine was running and went back inside for max 10 minutes. Come out and my car's off cold ass mf engine. Wth. I hate this car bruh nothing works

2014 Nissan Juke, this sign just showed up, any one what it is?

My old car which was a clio had an ANTI raid system or in other words automatic door locking after driving above like 5mph, turns out the car i have now (k14 micra) also shares the same system (anti raid) as they are basically the same car. Anyone know how to turn on the system/auto door locking? been trying to find out how to but cant find anything about it apart from the fact the car comes with it. Thanks

I just purchased a skyline and it's imported. I bought it off a auto parts shop and I have all the paper work except the cbp 7501 form or the US boarder and customs form. How do I get this paper and from where any help I would really appreciate it. As I need it for registration at the DMV

On a cross country trip along the eastern coast of the Sea of Cortez, i.e. bumpy Mexican roads, our 7 year old Armada finally had its upper lighting console fall out. Looking at the design, I am truly surprised it lasted this long.

The void of frustration

Broken tabs still in the frame slot.

The above photos show the tabs broken off and still held in place by the metal retaining clips. You can see where the tabs belong on the plastic console and the close up showing these pieces. I read where some people epoxied the tabs back on, but one report was that it lasted only a few months. I decided to go the zip tie route.

You can drill two holes wide enough to accept a 10-inch long zip tie on either side of the point where the tabs were located. This will allow you to thread the zip tie through the console, through the two metal slots on either side of the console frame above it, and back through the console in order to cinch it into place. I found it necessary to remove the sunglasses holder door to do this, using the two screws on either side. Pay close attention to how the spring on one side of the door is installed so you can put it back in later. Looking at this now, I'm certain I could have done it without removing the door.

Remove one screw on either side to remove the sunglasses holder door.

Tabs removed. Use the two slots on either side to run the zip ties through.

The broken tabs and the metal retaining clips pulled out easily with a pair of pliers. Use the two slots on either side of the metal frame for the zip tie runs.

The photo above shows how the zip ties will go into the car frame from inside the sunglasses holder area. At this point, I reinstalled the sunglasses holder door and reconnected the electrical wires.

Install the leading edge of the console unit (rear facing) and push the front into place while cinching the zip ties.

After running the zip ties through the car frame, I pulled them back into the console. The console was then lifted into place while the zip ties were cinched by pulling on them with a pair of pliers until snug.

Trim the excess off.

The excess bit of zip tie was then removed.

Finished install

Nice and flush.

And that was it. The unit is back in place and is nice and snug. We'll see how long it lasts, as we have three more weeks of driving around Mexico to test it out.

I bought a new Nissan a little over a year ago. With it I purchased a 3 year maintenance plan valid at any Nissan dealership. I've since moved to a different state.

Shortly after moving I brought my car to the nearest dealership, which is over an hour away, for an oil change and rotation. I told the mechanic I had a basic maintenance plan and he said no problem and would look me up in the system. He was unable to find my info so I gave him the contract for the plan which I keep in my car, he said it shouldn't be a problem as there was contact info and a contract number to call and that the prepaid plan was with a 3rd party company that commonly works with Nissan. A few minutes later he comes back and says the number on my contract is disconnected and asked if I had the number for the dealership I purchased from. He calls the original dealership and gets a different phone number for my maintenance plan. At this point I've been waiting over 2 hours for a simple oil change and things are starting to feel a bit fishy. The mechanic comes back again and says he called the new number but none of my info could be found in this 3rd partys system. I try calling the dealership and get directed to a manager but it goes to voicemail and I leave a message. At this point I'm pretty annoyed but I needed the oil change so I just pay for it and have the mechanic note on the receipt that I presented a maintenance plan contract but it was unable to be verified. He suggests calling my loan company and the dealership to see what's going on because all of my paperwork looks legit and it's likely the selling dealership never filed some paperwork when I purchased the car.

I get home and call the company I got a loan from to see if there's a maintenance plan listed as part of my loan balance and sure enough there is. Now I'm pissed as I'm paying for something that I can't even use and I had to pay over $100 out of pocket for an oil change that should've been covered.

I call the dealership next and get directed to a different manager who answers. I recognize this guys voice as the finance manager who sold me the plan. I give him the whole rundown of what happened. He immediately says "oh you must've purchased a plan only valid at this dealership, let me see if I can get you something valid at other nissans" I quickly correct him as the contract I have states it is valid at all certified Nissan dealerships. He pivots the conversation and says if I'm not satisfied I can go online and cancel the plan on nissans website. I tell him that's probably not possible, nor is that the main issue, as my plan isn't even listed in nissans system according to the mechanic at the other dealership. I tell him I'm a bit frustrated at paying for the plan and have to pay for the oil change out of pocket and that it seems that some paperwork was misfiled. He says he will call the 3rd party company to try and figure out what's going on and then call me back in 10 minutes.

That was over a month ago. He never called back and I've called several times and left several messages with no response.

Not sure what courses of action I can take now. I live in the opposite side of the country now so I can't just waltz in and talk to them in person. They know that too so I'm pretty sure they're just ignoring me hoping I'll drop the issue.

TLDR: Bought a maintenance plan at one dealership, moved, tried to use that plan at a different Nissan but there's no record of it and the issuing dealer won't work with me or return my calls.

I just recently took my wife's 2013 nissan versa into the dealership for issues with heating system not heating. Turns out we need to replace the temperature control panel. I would like to DIY this fix because nissan has discontinued the part and the dealership cannoy fix it. I've searched everywhere and haven't found any information on how to. Im wondering if anyone on here has any tips or trails on where to start?

What led lights fit my Nissan Altima 2015 as well as turning lights? Thanks for the help

2020 maxima tail light bulb can’t be replaced? What other years are compatible with 2020 when looking for a right tail light assembly?

I just found out last night that when I lock the doors of my 2019 Nissan Rouge using the key fob that they don't actually lock. The locks click and the horn beeps like they are locked. But then you can walk up and actually open one of the doors. It does set off the car alarm but they can be open. How can this be fixed? Anyone else ever had this issue?

Hi All

Nissan NP200 Bakkie, Cambelt snapped!

Head has been machined and valves replaced. I have reinstalled everything, and just need to install the new cambelt and align the Intake/Exhaust Cams.

I have read about it, and I do not have the Cam Locking tool, or the TDC Bolt. But from what I read, should it be possible to do the timing like this :

Pull the spark Plugs, and put a thin bar in Cylinder 1 (closest to the Timing Belt). Turn the crank until the bar is at the highest point / sticks out the most. Isn't that Top Dead Center?

Then with the plastic caps on the cams removed, rotate them so that the slots are both horizontal, with the smaller section of the circles towards the bottom.

Install the Cambelt, rotate the engine by hand 2 rotations, and see that it still matches up (Bar at Maximum Height, and Slots Horizontal)?

Would that work out? I obviously do not want to bend the new valves, and do not want to have to dismantle and reassemble again if I have done something wrong.

Thanks

I recently got a 2025 Sentra; the base model. It seems I can only connect to Android Auto through USB but it seems a little weird to me that wireless isn't possible on a brand new model.

The website doesn't say whether it's only wired or if wireless is possible, and neither the dealership nor salesman knew. I watched. A few YouTube videos to see if I was missing something it seemed possible in them, but they didn't specify any model.

Has anyone with this model been able to use wireless android auto?

Thanks for any insights!

I’ve read that some Nissan and Renault engines had issues like unusually high oil consumption and thermostat problems, leading to engine failure after about three years. I’m considering buying the new Nissan Qashqai Tekna 1.3 Turbo Mild Hybrid but worry about potential engine issues in the future.

The other option I’m considering is the Kia Sportage 1.6 Turbo. However, I’ve heard the robotic gearbox may not perform well for city driving and heavy traffic, which is my primary usage.

Both cars come with a 3-year warranty, and I plan to sell the car after 3.5–4 years. I like the new Qashqai’s features, especially the 3D cameras. What are your thoughts on these options?

My 2019 Altima S 2.0 engine is breaching 80K miles of average, balanced driving between highways and city routes. I'm wondering if there is another brand of oil and/or CVT fluid that is recommended for high mileage vehicles that the vehicle would benefit from them?

Or should I stay with what I got now, which is Nissan OEM fluids, which cost an arm and leg every time I change.

2019 nissan rogue 75000km flickers 50 rpm at idle and coolant reservoir at minimum 2nd time. Told the dealer about Flickr last time but as usual they couldn't find anything wrong. But filled the reservoir. I don't think they knew I already looked at the coolant level.

Every year since I’ve had the car (almost 6) when It gets cold, it struggles/doesn’t start.

I’ve replaced the battery, the starter, tested the battery and resorted to having a super charger box thing in my car at all times for when it doesn’t start on its own.

It’s really frustrating but that is what mechanics have told me to do since they can’t figure out the issue.

In the last two weeks, it started happening almost every day. (It used to only happen every once in a while when it got cold)

I live in Florida.

Anyone dealt with something similar?

ETA: I’ve also replaced the spark plugs.

Hi! My husband loves manual cars and has always wanted to drive around a “350z”. We are in south New Jersey and I would love to give him the opportunity! If you have one and are willing to rent it out for a day for whatever your price is, please reach out. Rental cost as well as necessary insurance agreements can be done, I just want to see if I can make this happen for him.

Hi, I want to buy Nissan Rouge SL 2021 with 35k mileage. I live in cold state and have 2 concerns:

• Will the CVT transmission a problem? I heard newer models are fine and I’m planning to have it check every 5,000 miles.
• What will happen if I buy this car and Nissan went bankrupt? Will I still have warranty or if the resale value goes down.

It’s a big purchase and any advice is very appreciated.

I have a 2020 Versa base model, and I'm looking for a simple solution such as a power adapter where i can tap from the LDW system which is sitting right next to the rear view mirror for those that don't know. This way I don't have to route cables around the pillar trims etc. As an example to my question Dash Cam

I have a 2016 Nissan juke with Bluetooth just the regular system screen that came in the car. Today it started rebooting. The music would stop the screen would go black and come back with the Nissan logo like when you first start the car up. This happened about five times in two minutes

Any advice on what’s wrong with it?

My family order a new Nissan Qashqai E-Power Acenta Premium in September 2024. We was told we should have taken delivery of it last months. Every time we get an update we get told we haven’t had a build week yet. We order it through a company called Motorfinity which do blue light card discounts. We are still waiting. Does anyone know an approx build time for the Qashqai (UK)

Hi everyone, I have a Nissan qashqai 1.5dci 106hp. I have a orange engine light and they error number P0487,P0409 and P2413. Sometime a I have a red engine light AND ESP light on

I replaced the EGR valve a year ago.

Plzzz help me

my friend is offering me her 2021 Nissan Sentra SV at almost 101,000 miles for $7000. It gets serviced every 3 months and she bought it at 6k miles if that info matters. I think it’s a good deal but i’ve heard about the CTV. She hasn’t had any problems and just does regular maintenance every few months . a lil damage on the bumper but nothing wrong with engine or transmission .

UPDATE: Ive bought the car 😅 paid $5000 up front and paying off the 2k in between a few months
