FIRST, IT WILL COME AND GO AFTER APPROX 61,000 MILES IT BECAME PERMANENT. IN 2008 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP BILL KAY AT DOWNERS GROVE IL PAID APPROX. $2,000 FOR FIXING THE PROBLEM BUT AFTER SOME TIME IT AGAIN CAME UP AND STARTED FLASHING. IN 2010 AGAIN I TOOK IT TO MAINEKE AUTO WORK SHOP AND GOT THE IGNITION COILS CHANGED, SILENCER/EXHAUST CHANGED AND PAID ALMOST $1,200 BUT AGAIN THE SAME PROBLEM OF ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK.
