Your words ring true.
Just this past weekend my wife was traveling from SE CO through W. Kansas on her way home loaded with family heirlooms in my 2019 Nissan Titan XD.
Damn DEF malfunction light came on with an eventual message stating she had 200 miles to go before 5 mph emergency speed kicked in. Long story, headed her direction with a friend’s 2500 Chevy and 6 ton bumper hitch trailer and got home at 10pm that night.
Took the truck to the dealership this morning and received a call that it was “ fixed” at lunch. The tech told me the pickup needed a software update? What?
Guess I shouldn’t worry about an EMP when the company or big brother wants to shut me down.
This note is getting rather long but I completely despise DEF “Obama juice”. I would remove it but then I would lose warranty so I am screwed.
Unfortunately these are complex systems that are technical to repair. A lot of software stuff that needs brand specific tools to really repair properly.
