Common Issues With Nissan Vehicles
Nissan Timing Chain Defects
If you are experiencing timing chain issues with your Nissan, our technicians can solve those problems. The timing chain is a chain in the front of your engine that is attached to gears and pulleys that power other components. This chain must be calibrated with precision so other parts of the engine connected to it can operate properly.
Over time, due to wear and tear, the timing chain can get loose. This event can cause loud noises from your engine. Other parts of the engine can receive severe damage if the timing chain is not properly maintained.
At Mac’s, we will address these issues, and have your car sounding good and running with efficiency.
Automatic Emergency Braking Issues In Nissan’s
Newer model Nissans come with an AEB system. AEB stands for automatic emergency braking. This system is made up of cameras and sensors in the front of the car that detects solid objects within the car’s path.
Malfunctions within the AEB system is an issue that Nissan owners have been dealing with. A defect within the AEB system can cause the car to brake without warning. Another issue is when the AEB system causes false-positive warning lights on the dashboard.
These problems can cause serious heartache and accidents. Bring your car to Mac’s, and we can address these issues. We deal with all problems related to the braking system.
Problems With The ESCL
ESCL stands for electronic steering column lock. This system keeps the steering wheel locked which in turn will not let the automatic ignition engage. The ESCL system is there to prevent thieves from stealing your car. The ESCL system releases the steering wheel when the key for the car is in range of the vehicle.
When the ESCL system malfunctions in a Nissan, the driver will not be able to start their vehicle. This situation can be a real pain. The ESCL is designed to prevent theft, but at the same time when it’s not operating correctly, the car will treat the owner like a thief.
Mac’s Automotive Service is familiar with this issue. We have the technicians and the tools for this problem.
Faulty Gas Gauge Readings
The gas gauge on the dashboard lets you know how much gas the vehicle has. The gas gauge communicates with the gas tank through resistors, floats, and sensors. This is a straight-forward system that most cars get right, but problems with the gas gauge have been an issue with certain vehicles within the Nissan lineup.
Between the gas gauge and the gas tank is a component called the sender. Certain Nissan models have issues with the sender. When the sender malfunctions, it can cause the gas gauge to display inaccurate amounts of gas in the tank.
If you have this issue, bring your car to Mac’s Automotive service, and we will resolve the issue. We have seen this problem before, and we know exactly what to do.
