have a 2016 Nissan juke sl awd auto 7900 miles PO138 BANK 1 SENSOR 2 EVERY YEAR (REAR O2 SENSOR MUST BE CHANGED)
2016 nissan juke sl awd 7900 miles auto. bought car new for wife,she loves it but she only puts on approx 1500 miles per year. each year since new the rear o2 sensor has to be replaced, according to nissan they say the car has not been driven enough to burn off the residue and this will keep happening as long as no miles are put on the car. they say they have checked out all systems and they are good. is this true that the car must be driven more often? i have never owned a car that had to be driven. even nissan can not tell us just how many miles per year that it must be driven to avoid the situation.
It is true, cars need to be driven for some*** stuff not to “break”. Some cars need to be driven more than others.
One of my friends had a BMW 6-Series. Only drove a mile to work and a mile back. 2 miles round trip. The car started having battery issues, since it wasn’t driven enough to charge.
In this case, I don’t think the dealer is BSing you.
IMHO, if the car is driven so little, maybe a good Italian tuneup maybe once or twice a month may* prevent the problem of having to change the O2 sensor every year.
