THE EGR TEMPERATURE SENSOR HAS FAILED. THE MFG. HAS PLACED THIS COMPONENT IN A LOCATION THAT IS ACCESSIBLE ONLY AFTER REMOVAL OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE ACTUAL SENSOR IS AVAILABLE FOR $70. ACCORDING TO THE NISSAN DEALER, REPLACEMENT OF THIS COMPONENT WILL COST MORE THAN $900. THIS IS SUCH A POOR VEHICLE SYSTEM DESIGN THAT CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BEAR THE RIDICULOUS COST OF THIS REPAIR.
