FUEL INJECTION WENT OUT ON CAR IN SEPT. 1998, ALL FUEL INJECTIONS WERE TO BE REPLACED ACCORDING TO NISSAN, AND MY RECEIPT SHOWS SAME. THEN ON 7/23/99 FUEL INJECTION WENT OUT AGAIN. I WAS TOLD IT WAS #3 AND THAT IT WAS LEAD TO BELIEVE IT WAS STILL ONE OF THE ORGINAL ONES. I DID NOT PAY THE FIRST TIME, SINCE I HAD A WARRANTY, AND MY MILEAGE WAS ONLY 29914. BUT 10 MONTHS LATER A FUEL INJECTION GOES AGAIN, AND I'M TOLD ITS #3. IF ALL WERE REPLACED, WHY I AM I PAYING FOR IT, WITH ONLY 32806 IN MILES? MY RECEIPT STATES WE USE NISSAN GENUINE PARTS WHICH CARRY A 12 MONTH OR 12,000 MILE. BUT THE FUEL INJECTIONS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED FOR 36000 MILES. AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT I WAS TOLD. I FEEL I HAVE BEEN MISLEAD. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN.
