BAD CAT. CONV.=BLOWN MOTOR 2.5 '02 5-SPEED
WHAT MY LOCAL TECH SAID WAS A HEAD GASKET BLOWN, AND OVER $900 LATER WAS ACTUALLY A CAT. COV. GOING BAD WHICH CAUSED MY ENGINE TO FAIL. GO FIGGURE. IN RESEARCHING THIS MATTER I'M FINDING MANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS 2.5 MOTOR. AT FIRST IT WAS JUST STUMBLING AT IDLE, SOMETIMES SHUTTING OFF. FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, I'VE OWNED MANY NISSANS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH ANY ONE OF THEM IN THE PAST. IN REGAURDS TO MY CURRENT DELIMA, NISSAN IS STICKING TO THEIR 5/60,000 WARRANTY AND OFFERING NO ASSISTANCE. I WOULD THINK AT ONLY 80K AND THE FACT THAT IT'S AN ISSUE FOR SO MANY THAT NISSAN WOULD ADMIT THEY HAVE A BAD CAT. SYSTEM AND STEP UP, WE'LL SEE !!! STAY TUNED.
