ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD ATTACHES TO THE ENGINE BLOCK IN TWO LOCATIONS. THE BOLTS VIBRATE LOOSE AND FALL OUT OR SHEAR OFF. SOME OF THE GASKET FALLS OUT. I AM TOLD BY AN INDEPENTANT REPAIR FACILITY, THAT THIS IS A TYPICAL PROBLEM WITH NISSAN QUEST AND MERCURY VILLAGER MINI-VANS. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH EXHAUST FUMES COMING INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT.

#703953March 2, 1999
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
STOP LIGHT FUSES HAVE BLOWN REPEATEDLY SINCE 9-9-98. NISSAN PERFORMED A "95 QUEST HARNESS CAMPAIGN" RECALL ON 12-28-98. HOWEVER, THE STOP LIGHT FUSE BLEW AGAIN SOMETIME IN FEBRUARY. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN BECAUSE THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHT TO ALERT DRIVER TO THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION. I LEARNED OF IT ONLY WHEN AN ANGRY DRIVER NEARLY REAR ENDED ME AT A STOP LIGHT. FAULTY STOP LIGHTS ARE VERY DANGEROUS SINCE THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHT. ON MARCH 2, 1999 I RETURNED THE CAR AND THE COMPANY HAS DETERMINED THEY CANNOT FIND AND FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY SAY IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL. I AM TO CONTINUE DRIVING AT MY RISK. THIS IS A VERY IRRESPONSIBLE POSSITION FOR A COMPANY TO TAKE WITH A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION LIKE THIS.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
VEHICLE EXHAUST MANIFOLD STUDS FAILED/BROKE. DEALER IS AWARE OF SERVICE BULLETIN SPELLING OUT PROBLEM. EXHAUST MANIFOLDS LEAK DURING FAILURE, MANIFOLD GASKETS ARE ASBESTOS FIBERS WHICH LEAK INTO LIVING COMPARTMENT OF VEHICLE DURING FAILURE. SERVICE BULLETIN ONLY MENTIONS BOLT FAILURE WHICH DEALER REFUSES TO COVER AFTER WARRANTY. DUE TO POTENTIAL DANGER I BELIEVE THAT RECALL SHOULD BE PUT INTO EFFECT FOR ALL NISSAN PRODUCTS WITH THIS FAILURE AND ASBESTOS WARNING BE PLACED ON BULLETIN AS WELL. ASBESTOS WARNING ONLY PLACED ON REPLACEMENT GASKET. *AK
