Check engine light came on Friday night on my 2005 X, my Scan Gauge says P0171 and P0174. Found some info on those codes - worse case scenario it would be the MAF sensor, so I took it to the dealer hoping if that's it, they'll be a little lenient on the warrantee.

Dealer just called and said the MAF sensor needs to be replaced, $490 installed. Since it's out of warrantee by 200 miles, they gave me the number to call for NissanUSA to setup a case to get it covered. The guy I talked to seemed nice enough, almost that it was just a formality to contact the dealer and confirm what the problem was. However, I won’t know for sure until end of day tomorrow at latest.
I did mention that I just bought a 2007 Fronty, and that this is my 4th Nissan, so hopefully they’ll want to make a long standing regular customer happy.

So, anyone ever hear of a MAF sensor going with only 36200 miles?
Any one have luck with these "a few hundred miles out of warrantee” issues with NissanUSA?

I haven’t tried cleaning the MAF myself – yet. Waiting for resolution on warrantee issue before I start messing with stuff. Other “home remedy” suggestions will be welcome if they deny me coverage (a little fuel injector cleaning treatment maybe??).

Actual mileage the light went on was 36,134
Mileage when diagnosed at dealer is 36,251

Thanks!
