If it wasn't for the light I would probably just call it a pos and drive it. But when that clicking starts, the idle becomes erratic, and slight power loss. I think you are onto something with the vvt. Both cars seem to be acting up. And yes its direct injection.

What is "stalled variator?" I completely understand how the cam phasing works. I had a theory that the pin in the device on the cam wasn't locking in. I should ask them to check the timing. Could you expand on this concept further?

As well, one solenoid (i mix the names up but the part that controls oil flow did throw a code and was replaced.

I should also say, text communication is hard and often messages are misunderstood. I grew up with my service writer, his brother is married to my cousins sister in laws niece, type of deal.

So the conversation is more like "dude what are we gonna do, if nissan can't fix it I'm gonna have to get lawyers involved."

Its more like two generals dealing with policy and decisions made by those above.

More of a reference to where it could head to. And stating I am not accepting their policy. And he can say "the customer is not cooperating and has mentioned seeking legal council"

But it is the truth. It may go that route. Although i may take them to court myself and avoid the cost.

See they arent fixing it. Said they cant or dont know what it is. There is no "completion of work date." That has passed. On saturday they said to come get it. I said let me talk to the manager. And now no one is calling or answering my calls.

Its fricking weird.
