When i drive the vehicle, the engine light constantly pops on and off the car consumes a large amount of oil each week, i have to check the oil and keep a case of oil with the filter in my truck to constantly fill it up. The car drains gas like crazy, and it's slow and driving and sluggish. The car has cut off on me in the middle of driving where i had to spend over $500 to get it repaired.

The vehicle threw a code for the camshaft sensor had that replaced then the vehicle threw a code for the crankshaft sensor. Midas replaced two of them still could not clear the code. The vehicle will start in drive but it will sputter while stopped like it is going to stall. When slowing down or coming to a stop the car will shut off and is very difficult to get started again.

Repair technician informed us it was the nissan computer box indicating it was reading everything…
