Okay- so I bought this car a year ago. 2004 Xtera XE with 133,000 miles. Since then I 've dumped about 4k into repairs and bullshit. (now at 145,000 miles)
When I bought the car it already had the SES light on but I needed a car and the mechanic I took it to said it was still a good car. I got my left Catalytic converter replaced as well as idle control valve, a bunch of other maintenance, and a full engine tune. SES light off and problem seemingly fixed. a month after this my car started to make a clicking sound when starting up and about 2 clicks per second while driving/accelerating.
Two weeks ago, I was driving my car to work and it completely died in the middle of the highway- all acceleration quit but battery and electronics stayed on. Got it towed to the Nissan dealership. They tell me it's the timing belt. I get the entire thing replaced (along with all the other goods under there). When I pick up the car they tell me it's idling super rough and that they don't know what it is but probably the other Catalytic converter. I take the car anyways thinking I'm good to go if they say it's drivable.
I go to start my car two days after the timing belt is replaced and get an SES code again. Take it to AutoZone and they say it's
P0300- Random Misfire
P0328- Knock Sensor 1 Circuit High Input (Bank 1)
I drive some more that day.... SES shuts off.
Now to yesterday I drive to the store and go to leave- car turns over super weird and SES light starts flashing. I check the fuel cap, let the car sit for 20 minutes- light it off. I still take it to Nissan and they get another P0300 code for random misfire. They still claim it's probably not their fault but just got new timing belt and never had a misfire before they replaced it??
Car is still running superrr rough but is fine when I accelerate(except for the clicking). Nissan is charging me for a diagnostic to see what else is wrong with the car even though they gave it to me running shitty? (guess it's my fault for taking it).
Anyone have any insight into this??
