Nissan Altima with 81000 miles - list of issues I have dealt with.
1. BAD thermistor - several trips to the service shop - almost 500 dollars
- finally looked it up on the internet - I fixed it myself - cost $30
2. Bad harmonic balancer - cost $550
3. Bad Brake Booster - cost $350
now a fluctuating temp gauge (likely a sensor issue) and Maybe the Manifold gasket.
can anything else go wrong - I think I am losing faith in Nissan. It's honda's or toyotas from now on.

Ok here it goes.
My gauges, my power windows, my blinkers, and a few other things would all of a sudden stop working. The engine power would decrease by 75% and transmission locked in 1st gear.
Then after 10 min everything would go back to normal. This was a terrible experience as no mechanic could figure it out.
Dealer wanted $2,000 to replace the ECU and Instrument Cluster.
Resolution: I figured it out myself that a bad Ignition Relay was bad.
I got a used Relay at a local junk yard for $5 and my car has been good ever since.
Don't trust the dealers - they're scumbags.
