I have a 2015 Nissan Versa. Back in October 2021, my car started going into limp mode (the check engine light would come on, as well as the traction control light, and the gas pedal wouldn't work). I would have to turn my car off and back on, then it would work okay for a little bit, and then go into limp mode again a few minutes later. Took my car to Firestone, they said it was the throttle body, and they replaced it. (Cost me about $600+)
Worked okay for a few months, and then in January 2022, I started noticing the exact same problems. Took it back to them, and they sad it was the throttle body AGAIN. They replaced it free of charge and said the part they put in must've been defective.
Now, in April 2022, it's doing the same thing AGAIN. Took it back to them for the 3rd time because the part is still under warranty. Once again they are saying it is the throttle body. They said everything else looks good, and nothing else is causing the throttle body to short out. They're telling me the car is just not accepting the aftermarket throttle bodies, and that the next step would be to try an OEM throttle body. Has anybody ever heard of this? Are there any mechanics here who have seen this? I cannot afford any car repairs right now, and certainly can't afford $1,000+ for the OEM part, so I'm just having them put in an aftermarket throttle body for the third time, because it won't cost me anything. But this is ridiculous to have to get my throttle body replaced every 4 months or so.
