Description of the problem | I bought a 2014 nissan pathfinder platinum with 9 miles, i drove it home approx. 50 miles and found i was getting i-key system error. Dealer instructed me it was the fob programming error, then they inspected the car and told me a transmission switch was defective which prevented the ecm to recognize the car was in drive mode not in neutral or park. Within the next 50 miles the check engine light came on with p0850 error. Mechanic fixed the issue after several days, not the passenger side airbag (on/off) indicator is intermittent even when an adult over 140lbs is sitting on the passenger seat. Sometimes it is not off as required. I think both issues could pose risks to passengers and may cause accidents. I am not a mechanic so i am not sure if the shifter switch has anything to do with the transmission problems directly or indirectly. |
