wow what great help you are! lol


well sometimes you have problems on new cars, it happens

it cant be called a lemon endless you have the same problem more than once ( 3 times)


keep an eye in it and if you keep having the same problem its a lemon...

hahhahahaha...so you think we don't know that only the rev-up engine has a flux capacitor for 10 extra horsepower. I didn’t fall of the back of a turnip truck you know.

yeah sorry to make jokes but i'm don't think you have anything to worry about
as far as getting a lemon. i would think most of the problems have been ironed
out by now since you have a 2006. probably just a fluke and nothing major.

If it is the "throttle position sensor," try resetting the ECU. I had a problem with that and it took the Nissan "master" tech three days to figure that one out. This is a common problem in drive by wire cars.

Same thing happen to me the first nite I got it home (bought it used) I was so **** I thought the dealership sold me a bad deal but I went to get it check out and they said its the "throttle position sensor" and readjust a few things (which I don't think they did) and 2000 miles later I am problems free...

they did say if it happens again they will replace the throttle actuator... I want that light to go on so bad somehow...
