The engine light periodically flashed on/off. We had the car serviced at a nissan dealer which cost $1000. 3 months later,we spent $300. Finally,2 months later the motor goes out and we spend $5000 to replace it in a car less than 4yrs old(bought brand new -not a used vehicle). Furthermore,the car would just slow down and stop periodically(no matter if you were on the interstate or not). *tr
