#763730July 2, 2002
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
NOTICED EXHAUST SMELL IN PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. REPORTED TO DEPARTMENT AND WAS INFORMED THAT VEHICLE HAD A CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD. WAS REPAIRED BY DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. DISCUSSIONS WITH OTHER XTERRA OWNERS AT AN ONLINE DISCUSSION GROUP (WWW.XTERRAOWNERSCLUB.COM) HAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS HAS OCCURED TO MANY OTHER XTERRA'S. I FEEL THAT THIS WARRANTS AN INVESTIGATION AS IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON FAILURE WITH POTENTIAL TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF A DRIVER WERE OVERCOME BY CARBON MONOXIDE FROM THE LEAKING EXHAUST MANIFOLD BEING DRAWN INTO THE FRESH AIR INTAKE DURING A MODERATE TO LONG DRIVE.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS LIGHT GOES ON INTERMITENTLY. AT THAT POINT BRAKES FEEL ABNORMAL. HEAT SHILED RUSTED AND RATTLES AND ABOVE 35 MPH. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RE: ABS LIGHT PANEL. THE XTERRA WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE, NOT INFORMED OF DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE RE: ABS BRAKE SYS. THE ASSUMED. DEALER ASSUMES BY NOT SEEING THE LIGHT ON THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM. DEALER STATES THAT THE COMPLETE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS LOOKED AT, AND THEN CLAIMS THAT MAYBE THE BRAKES NEED TO BE CHANGED? DID HE NOT LOOK AT THE COMPLETE BRAKE SYS. THE HEAT SHEILD WAS SAWED OFF AS HE STATED AND IT REQUIERD CALLING CONSUMER NISSAN TO HAVE THEM REPLACE THE HEAT SHEILD ACCORDING THE WARRNETY PACKAGE. NISSNA CONSUMER REP SUCKS. THEY COULD NOT SUM UP THE WARRENT PACKAGE I HAD TO FAX THEM THE THE PAGE WHERE THE CLIAM SHOWED THEY WERE LIABLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT. THE $ 83 DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE WAS WAVIED AFTER SEVERAL PHONE CALLS. DID I HAVE TO PAY $83 EVERYTIME THIS ABS LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALER CLAIMED IT WAS A PHANTOM LIGHT. *AK
