THE DEFECT DATABASE IS FULL OF CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE DEFECTIVE SEAL BETWEEN THE TIMING COVER AND THE BLOCK. A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN EXISTS (NNTB95058A ), YET WHY ARE DROVES OF NISSAN OWNERS STILL PAYING $500.00 TO HAVE THIS POORLY ENGINEERED PART REPLACED? MY MECHANIC STATED THAT HE HAS REPLACED MANY OF THESE SEALS. WHEN IS THERE GOING TO BE A RECALL ISSUED? WHAT DOES IT TAKE? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
OIL LEAKED FROM ENGINE AFTER OWNING VEHICLE 6 DAYS, ALMOST 700.00 TO REPAIR NOW THE OIL IS LEAKING AGAIN. I HAD PUT ONLY 400 MILES ON THE CAR WHEN IT BROKE DOWN. THE DEALERSHIP GAVE ME A BREAK ON FIXING IT, BUT NOW IT IS LEAKING AGAIN. ACCORDING TO THEIR REPAIR RECORD 3 SEALS WERE REPLACED AND A BELT. I FELT SURE THIS MUST BE SOME DEFECT BUT HAVE NOT FOUND ANY INFORMATION. ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I WILL BE TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN THIS FRIDAY 7/20. BECAUSE 2000 MILES AFTER THEIR REPAIRS I CHECKED THE OIL AND AGAIN NOTHING SHOWED ON THE DIP STICK. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS VEHICLE, I UNDERSTAND I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE "AS IS". BUT THIS IS BECOMING VERY COSTLY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, LESIA TURNER. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:PARK/NEUTRAL START INTERLOCK SWITCH
I STOPPED MY CAR AT THE BASE OF MY DRIVEWAY AND PUT THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER ON PARK TO CHECK MY MAILBOX. I LEFT THE CAR RUNNING WHILE I DID THAT. AS I GLANCED AT MY MAIL, THE CAR SLOWLY ROLLED UP MY DRIVEWAY (NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR, AND THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER REMAINED IN PARK) AND CRASHED INTO A LARGE TREE ABOUT 40 FEET BEYOND MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER PULLED MY CAR BACK ONTO THE DRIVEWAY, HE SAID THAT THE SHIFT LEVER WAS STILL IN PARK. I SUSPECT THAT MY CAR WAS A "VICTIM" OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 94V165000.*AK

THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING, WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE SENSOR AND AIRBAG HAD TO BE REPLACED. AND THE COST WOULD BE $750.00, THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, THEREFORE THE AIRBAG SHOULD FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES.
