I bought my 02 nissan 2.5L. se r spec v in jan of 07. And three months later in March my check engine light came on and smoke was coming out of the exhaust. Well I take it in to the dealership. They told me that my catylitic converter went out and fried my engine. Now my factory warranty doesnt cover the cat on the car. So they were ganna charge me over a grand to have it fixed. However I did my research and found that there are EPA FEDERAL GUIDLINES. it basically states that if the cat goes bad by federal law they have to replace it no charge. Now mind you there are certain guidlines your car has to meet. The website will explain that
www.epa.com. Anyways i took that down to the dealership and they replaced the cat and the entire engine no charge. So definatly look into it if your car is giving you issues. Since then the only other issue I have had is having the computer reprogramed due to the recal stating that the car will shut off. Mine is doing that only at idle. Really and truly i havent had any issues other than those 2. ive driven that car hard and she has held up beautifully since the replacement.
