TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 11V244000(SUSPENSION:FRONT). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SHEET METAL THAT WAS USED TO COVER THE RUST ON THE STRUT TOWER PER THE RECALL WOULD NOT BE SUFFICIENT WHEN DRIVING UNDER NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER IN REGARD TO THE INADEQUATE RECALL REMEDY BUT THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT PROVIDE A RESPONSE TO THE CONTACT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 180,000. |

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE |
THIS PROBLEM INVOLVES THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND THE BOLTS THAT SECURE IT TO THE ENGINE HEAD. THOUSANDS OF MECHANICS AROUND THE WORLD WILL TESTIFY THAT NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THE DESIGN FLAW INHERENT IN THE MANIFOLD. HERES WHAT HAPPENSSUPER HEATED EXHAUST FIRES OUT FROM THE PISTON HEAD AND IS CAPTURED BY THE MANIFOLD. BUT, DUE TO THE ANGLE OF THE MANIFOLD CURVE (THE BEND IN THE METAL PIPING) THE GAS HITS THE METAL TOO HEAD ON AND OVER-HEATS THE MANIFOLD. THE HEAT IS SO INTENSE THAT IT WARP THE METAL. THE TOQUE OF THE BENDING METAL IS SO STRONG IT LITERALLY SHEARS THE BOLTS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO SECURE THE MANIFOLD TO THE HEAD. THE METAL SHOULD NEVER GET THAT HOT, YET IT DOES SOLELY BECAUSE OF NISSANS DESIGN FLAW. ACCORDING TO THE NISSAN DEALER I TALKED WITH.THIS PROBLEM THEN LEAKS CARBON MONOXIDE INTO THE CAR. ONE MECHANIC SAID HE SEES MAYBE 4 OF THESE EVERY TWO WEEKS! (PATHFINDER AND MAXIMAS) THIS PROBLEM IS COSTING CONSUMERS A LOT OF MONEY. PLEASE HELP. |
