You’re right—that does sound like a faulty oxygen sensor. Luckily, the O2 sensor is covered under the Nissan
Emissions Warranty for a set duration. A faulty oxygen sensor could cause your vehicle to run irregularly or sound rough during idling. It can also interfere with your engine’s timing, combustion intervals, and other critical functions, and you may even notice stalling or slow acceleration.
So, let’s get your Nissan fixed up! Here are the details you need to know about the warranties that may apply to your car’s issue.
Federal Vehicle Emissions Control Limited Warranties:
Performance—2 years/24,000 miles
