ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL
FILLING THE GAS TANK TILL THE GAS PUMP AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF OCCURS, FUEL LEAKS (APPROXIMATELY 1/2 GALLON) FROM THE FUEL LINE GOING INTO THE GAS TANK. IS THIS THE FUEL TANK VENT HOSE LEAKAGE DESCRIBED IN NHTSA RECALL NUMBERS 00V419001 & 00V419002? I NEED TO GET THIS CORRECTED ASAP TO AVOID AND FUEL IGNITION POSSIBILITIES. DO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE INVESTIGATION CLOSES FOR A RECALL? I HOPE NOT.

TIRES
I PURCHASED 4 YOKOHAMA AEGIS GS4 P215/70R-15 97S TIRES (SERIAL NO. CC608HN428) AT DISCOUNT TIRE IN MIDLAND, TX ON DECEMBER 18, 1998. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED EVERY 6,000-8,000 MILES AND HAVE BEEN PROPERLY INFLATED. MOST OF THE DRIVING ON THESE TIRES HAS BEEN IN TEXAS AND OTHER SOUTHERN STATES. IN AUGUST, 2000 THE TIRE MOUNTED ON THE LEFT REAR WHEEL SEPARATED AFTER 32,000 MILES. ON JANUARY 4, 2001 THE TIRE MOUNTED ON THE LEFT FRONT DEVELOPED CRACKS FROM THE EDGE OF THE TREAD TO THE SIDEWALL (SEPARATED?) AND WOULD NOT HOLD PRESSURE AFTER 37,000 MILES. ON JANUARY 10, 2001 THE TIRE MOUNTED ON THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL FAILED WHILE DRIVING AFTER 37,000 MILES. THE INSIDE SIDEWALL WAS COMPLETELY DETERIORATED (SEPARATED?). ALL THREE TIRES WERE REPLACED BY DISCOUNT TIRE UNDER THEIR WARRANTY WITH A COMPETING BRAND OF TIRE FOR $20-27/EACH. IT SEEMS A 75% FAILURE RATE IS NOT VERY GOOD AND I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW.*AK (DOT NUMBER: CC608HN428 TIRESIZE: P215/70R15)

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ON THIS CAR STARTING ON 06/29/95 WITH 30,887 MILES R - EXHAUST MANIFOLD REPAIR/STUDS/GASKETS. 07/10/96 WITH 46,846 MILES REPLACED EXHAUST MANIFOLD STUDS/GASKETS. 07/17/96 WITH 47,664 MILES REPLACED FRONT EXHAUST MANIFOLD. 10/01/97 WITH 68,883 MILES BROUGHT TO DEALER WITH EXHAUST NOISE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. I WAS CONCERNED THAT THE VAN/REPAIRS WERE GETTING OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME IF IT GOT WORSE IT WOULD BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO COVER UNDER GOODWILL GIVEN THE HISTORY OF THE VAN. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT 6CYL NISSAN ENGINES HAVE THIS PROBLEM. 05/06/00 WITH 76,670 MILES AGAIN BROUGHT TO DEALER TO ADVISE ON EXHAUST NOISE. AGAIN THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND TO BRING IT BACK IF IT GETS WORSE. EACH TIME I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR EXHAUST REPAIRS I WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN HAS AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH EXHAUST STUDS BREAKING AND THEN WHEN THEY REPLACE THEM WITH HARDENED STUDS, THE MANIFOLDS END UP CRACKING. THIS TO ME IS AN ADMISSION OF A DEFECTIVE EXHAUST SYSTEM YET I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL AND EVERY TIME AFTER THEY FIX IT, IT BREAKS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. 04/06/00 WITH 102,944 MILES BROUGHT AGAIN TO DEALER WITH VERY LOUD EXHAUST NOISE. REPLACED REAR MANIFOLD STUDS/GASKETS. STILL MAKING NOISE SO THEY REPLACED THE FRONT MANIFOLD STUDS/GASKETS. STILL MAKING NOISE SO THEY REPLACED FRONT HEADER PIPE THEY SAY WAS CRACKED WHICH I BELIEVE WAS CAUSED FROM DRIVING SO LONG WITH BROKEN STUDS. COST THIS TIME WAS OVER $1,300.00. WHEN I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS THEY MADE IT SOUND LIKE THEY WERE GOING TO COVER IT GIVEN THE HISTORY OF THE CAR AND THE COST WAS BETWEEN $500 - $600. BUT ONCE THE COST WENT UP TO $1,300 THEY REFUSED TO COVER THE DIFFERENCE. 09/06/00 WITH 109,800 MILE BROUGHT TO DEALER AGAIN WITH LOUD EXHAUST NOISE. NOW THEY SAY IT NEEDS A NEW MANIFOLD FOR ANOTHER $280. THERE ARE TSB'S FOR THIS PROBLEM. *AK
