As usual, the post is worthless. IN the end, nobody offered a solution. A lot of whining and complaining. Dongle? Unless you point to a specific dongle, how do I know which ones to get? A lot of posts points to amazon.com or ebay.com. But it doesn't point specifically to a single product. So that's ...

Bluetooth device to play audio

I have a 14 SL with no Nav. It has BT, which allows for phone calls. But not audio. I need a way to get this. Is it possible? This weekend, driving my wife's 18 Crosstrek, I was able to connect through BT and play all the songs on my phone. All the artist/songs was displayed through the headunit. I ...

UPdate:

I still have the sluggish problem around the same speed. Once in a while I get the rumble strip sensation. ANd I"m still getting about 19mpg combined. My gauge has never shown a number larger than 20, even on long trips.

They ended up replacing the 4WD controller module. All problems are fixed and it drives much better. can't explain how one thing has to do with another. But the problems are gone. Thank goodness. Now I can try to sell this thing...

I brought it into Nissan and they told me they are replacing the 4WD controller board (whatever that is). Didn't know an SUV has a motherboard for the 4wd.

New Update

So they examined the car and determined the 4WD controller board needs to be replaced. Thats why the 4WD came on when it got cold outside. But that didn't solve my issues of shutters and sluggishness at 35mph, nor does it solve the loud engine roar? Well they said they want to replace this first, th...

ARe K&N air filters worth it?

I almost have 60K on my 14 R52. I'm wondering if buying a $60 K&N Filter will be even noticeable. Right now, I'm having some issues with my car. So it jerks at 30mph and I'm getting about 18mpg combine. I'm looking for anything to help it run better, smoother, and more efficient. Let me know you...

Loud roar

Something happened over the weekend. So I have my appointment with Nissan tomorrow 3/13. I'm bringing it in because of a shutter that occurs right around 30mph. The car actually jerks a little bit. But over the weekend, something else happened. When I accelerate, the engines roars like it's a hemi. ...

So I scheduled an appt with the dealership next week. I'm going to drop the car off for the day. It's still jerking at 30mph and is fine after that. But it's noticeable. Also, last week, we had a couple of cold spells and the 4wd errror was on most of the day. My neighborhood was not plowed so i got...

4wd error

So what is the solution? All I've read is others having the same problem. That means if it's super cold outside (-20+), I can't drive it in AWD mode? That's pretty impractical during the with lots of snow.

I don't know what the original warranty is, but they told me I have 60K on it. The problem is I have 57K on it now. This weekend was very noticeable. The 'sluggishness' starts right as I'm reaching 30mph. There's a jerking sensation that the car is changing gears. However, with the CVT, I don't see ...

I've always passed on extended warranty. I bought one for my dryer and never used it. Now that I need it, it's past the warranty date.

Not sure if buying a car warranty either. How much is it typically? A few hundred of a few thousand?

My drive to work is less than 10 miles each way. Your point is very valid. But I've driven this distance now since I bought the car brand new. It has never dipped under 19 until now. I find it just a bit too much of a coincidence.

I've told them to document every reason why I brought it in. So they said they would do so. As for the "Rumble strip' issue, there' s no way to record that. I have no idea when it's going to happen. But it has happened twice. It's very sudden. Have not seen it in over a week. I bought this (14)...

Very disappointed in this car

I have the 14 SL. I've had the rear coupler replaced. I had the transmission replaced. All under warranty. I have 56K on it. Just brought it in again because of strange sluggish acceleration from 20-30mph. My wife and I was on the road when we both heard/felt like we just ran over a rumble strip. We...
