In this video I have a look at a lady’s Nissan Maxima that had bounced around to a few shops and then ended up at the Nissan dealer where they quoted her for an entire engine bay harness! The initial problem with the vehicle was that it would die on her within a few miles of driving. It shouldn’t be that hard to figure out right? Let’s see.
-Enjoy!

i think the "stealer"ship knows what the problem is, they just mis-diagnose it to try and get more $$ from the customer. Thats what they do to make $$
Dies while driving …. Crankshaft position sensor or Camshasft position sensor are the 2 # 1 issues with dies while driving.
All else fails, crush the fuse box cover!!!

Main dealers are only interested in selling parts.
Hope she didn’t buy another Nissan from that dealer.
Love the videos! I'd be surprised if the dealer would refund her. Doesn't hurt to inquire though.

If you have voltage spiking it can only be comming from one place and that is a defedtive voltage regulator or maybe alternator.
I know diddly, but if it acts like "it has a ghost" check for a short inside battery first?
I respect this man
Almost if not all big dealerships have some kind of horse manure that they want to sell the customers all the time.
I had a similar issue with a Nissan a while ago but it was due to running different tire sizes front and rear. Car would go into limp mode after 5 minutes of driving lol
