Hi all,
This is my first post, so go easy on me.
I am interested in any comments, experience feedback reccomenations on my problem.
I have a D22 3l diesel STR which is late 06 and I purchased as an ex demo June 07 with 3.5k on it. NOw up to 67k
The first 18months or so it was great without any issues at all.
Then late feb 09' I was having trouble starting and then would not start at all. The dealer I took it too diagnosed it as a faulty crank position sensor which took a few days to get in stock, when they changed it over it was still having problems starting. They then found that it was the starter was pulling too much current (wire passes by the sensor)and had to replace the starter motor.
2 months later (april 09) the Navara just dies on the highway at 80kph, get it checked out and again starter motor pulling too much current and has to be replaced.
About 10 days ago while on holidays I was having trouble starting and the engine fault light comes on, I get it to the closest deaer and they have diagnosed it as a faulty crank position sensor they have told me that it will take 7-10 working days to get the sensor from Japan. I expect that it will be the starter motor again and that I will have to again wait for them to order and receive that before I get the Navara back. They won't order a new starter motor until they have checked the sensor.
Each time it has been at a different dealer as it has happened in a different place and they have all said that they have never eard of having this problem before.
The Navara is 2months out of warranty and the crank position sensor is 1mnth and 6k out of parts warranty. Nissan will not help out in covering any of it saying it is out of warranty.
Has anyone else had this problem, how did you get it fixed, have you had any problems since.Any recommendations on how I can get a result from Nissan.
