If any of you have this problem and the dealer cant help out, please call the nshta to let them know. It's becoming a safty issue. Imagine a left turn on oncoming traffic and you nah misfire and stall in the middle of the street. Imagin merging onto the freeway and your nah shake violently and going to stall in the middle of a freeway. It happened to me and my wife while driving our nah.

when the car misfires, how long does it do it for? can you replicate it? If you could, I'd take a video of it happening. Good luck!

It last for about 5 seconds. The check engine light will flash for about 5-10 sec then went off. The check engine light won't stay on. This is an intermintten misfiring. According to the service manager, if the engine light flashes, the computer should have recorded the misfiring. It recorded the first misfiring but not the other 3 times. Just wondering if there's a glitch in the computer system. I know that my wife and I are not seeing things. Well, I've left the car to the dealer to try to duplicate the problem for the next 2 days. They told me that they will let their master mechanics work on the car. . Thank you.

I see, if they refuse to do anything, try and get them to change the ECU at the very least, but I hope they find what's wrong.

They won't do anything to it unless they know what's wrong with it. I've called Nissan twice and left two messages. No return calls from Nissan for about a week. I am going to contact the local consumer lemon law attorney tomorrow.

Have a 2009 NAH and dealership service manager advised that they have been seeing problems with IEC engine misfiring due to carbon buildup. He adivised
using an injector-cleaner additive (STP, for example) every 2-3 tanks of gas to avoid this problem.
Worth a try!

I would ask to see the service bulletin from Nissan recommending this. Otherwise it sounds like use of one of the old fashioned ways car mechanics have to separate customers from their money for no good reason.

Wow, this whole thread is scary. I thought I'd look at hybrids because they've been out long enough and should have the bugs worked out of them. Should I just consider a Prius if I want a hybrid or just wait another 5 years for things to get better?
Is this specific to Nissan? I wouldn't think Prius and Camry hybrids would sell so many if hybrid doesn't work.
