2008 Navara STX, 4.0lt V6 Auto 4x4
I’ve noticed over the few weeks that the last split second before coming to a stop there is a slight judder.
At first I thought I was imaging things, but others have noticed it too.
Still under warranty I took it into the local dealer. An engineer came for a road test. First he said everything seemed normal, but then when he drove he acknowledged something wasn’t quite right.
He suspected the Load Sensing valve needed to be adjusted. So it was in for a service yesterday.
Notes in the service say “load sensing valve adjusted – road test shows issue resolved”
But it clearly hasn’t – I had a demo 09 Navara RX diesel as a loaner while mine was getting serviced – that one definitely did not have the same symptoms – so probably not in my head…
describing it is difficult but here goes. ..
- Only felt when coming to a complete stop.
- Back bakes seem to bite in at that last split second – causes the tail of the car to lower when stopped
- A noise is heard from the back – a deep sounding squeak
- Feels like abs kicking in – that juddery feel – clearly it’s not the abs – but has a similar feel
It’s not the coves from the rails in back bin sliding
There are no shackles hanging off the tow-bar
So I need to ring Nissan again and book it in again – Don’t want the warranty to run out without getting this fixed and it turns into something worse further down the track.
Any ideas or thoughts on direction I could send Nissan?
Cheers
