| NISSAN NAVARA SE 2009:
INTERMITTENT STARTING FAULT
|
| 30 OCT 2009 |
IGNITION |
*FEEDBACK WANTED* |
 |
| SO ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED. |
"Hi, I've just bought a new Navara double cab (ex demo with 6k miles on it) off a dealer. The other day I went to start it and it took several times to get going. When it eventually did start it was off cylinders and when I gave it a bit of a rev thinking it might clear the problem the knocking noise in the engine was frightening. Also there was a lot of light blue smoke.
I limped the vehicle back into my driveway and turned it off. After a few minutes I started it again and it was fine accept I can now feel a slight vibration in the cab when the vehicle is ticking over and up to about 2.5k revs. Also and this is incidental, there is a slight noise when I engage the clutch. Is this normal? This is my first Navara and I think it's great but I am a bit concerned.
Thanks Mark
Left the car in to the dealer on Monday to get it looked at. Got a phone call on Wednesday from the dealer’s workshop boss and I quote "We have had several Navara's brought back with the same fault. Nissan are working on a fix". He then went into a whole spiel about the injectors not getting the correct voltage on start up. Also and I quote "It's sort of like a having to reboot a PC after it crashes. Leave it for 5 minutes and start it again and it will be all right".
As for the noise in the clutch the dealership say that it is the transmission and they all have the same noise. I am not accepting this so I asked for my money back as the dealer has nothing to replace my car with...
24 hours later the salesman phones me saying that the mechanic says there is nothing wrong with the car and his boss told him that I would not be getting my money back.
I am well **** off and will not let this issue drop. So any help would be much appreciated."
