ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
ON 4/18/01, NOTICED ONE HEADLAMP NOT LIT. ON OPENING THE HOOD, DISCOVERED BOTH MAIN GROUNDING WIRES WERE "EXPLODED" FROM INSIDE THEIR CASINGS. INDIVIDUAL STRANDS WERE IN SOME CASES STILL INTACT WHILE OTHERS WERE COMPLETELY SEPARATED. WIRES NEARBY WERE ALSO SEVERED BY WHAT APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR ELECTRICAL SURGE. AN ADDITIONAL SMALL SECONDARY GROUNDING WIRE WAS SEPARATED FROM ITS MOUNT. RECONNECTING THAT WIRE "FIXED" THE NONFUNCTIONING HEADLIGHT. NEXT DAY, BOTH HEADLIGHTS WERE OUT. ON OPENING THE HOOD, DISCOVERED BOTH MAIN GROUNDING WIRES COMPLETELY SEPARATED, SECONDARY GROUNDING WIRE SEPARATED, HEADLAMP WIRING CONNECTORS "BURNED" AND ALL CONNECTING WIRES (3 PER) SEPARATED. ELECTRICAL "SCARRING" EVIDENT ON NEARBY METAL AND PLASTIC INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. WIRE AND PLASTIC FRAGMENTS FOUND UNDER AND AROUND AFFECTED AREAS. WINDSHIELD WASHER FILLER CAP AND FUNNEL "SCARRED". ALL OTHER MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS APPEAR TO OPERATE NORMALLY, INCLUDING TURN INDICATORS AND PARKING LIGHTS. HAS THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM OCCURRED ELSEWHERE? IS THERE REMEDY THROUGH NISSAN EVEN AFTER WARRANTY IS EXPIRED? COPYING TO NISSAN AFTER SUBMITTING TO NHTSA. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR LISTENING AND INVESTIGATING. SINCERELY, [XXX]. *AK PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
THE PROBLEM WITH FUEL PUMP WIRING INSIDE OF FUEL TANK. THE PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO WITH THE FUEL PUMP'S PERFORMANCE,SUCH AS HUMMING SOUND FROM TANK SECTION OR NO PUMP START UP AT STARTING THE ENGINE. BUT LAST DAY OF MARCH OF THIS YEAR I WAS NOT ABLE TO START THE CAR AT ALL DUE TO COMPLETE PUMP FAILURE. I CONSIDER MY SELF AS VERY GOOD MECHANIC AS FAR AS CAR IS CONCERN. WHEN I OPEN THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY , I DISCOVERED TWO ELECTRCAL WIRES,RED(+) AND BLACK(-), WERE TANGLED EACH OTHER. DUE TO FRICTION OF TWO WIRES TOGETHER, RED WIRE'S INSULATION WERE MAY BE TWO PAPER-THIN LEFTBOF BARE COPPER WIRE. BLACK WIRE WERE EVEN THINNER THAN RED'S WHERE I CAN ALMOST SEE THE BARE WIRES. I COULD ONLY IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAPEN WITH ELECTRICAL SHORT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. I REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP WITH ORIGINAL FACTORY PART WITH DIFFERENT REARRANGEMENT OF ELECTRICAL WIRES. I WAS VERY LUCKY TO FIND THE PROBLEM EARLIER. YOU MAY CALL ME AT WORK OR E-MAIL ME .*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BROKE AND STUDS REMAINED IN MANIFOLD. EXHAUST LEAKED IN ENGINE BAY. WAS TOLD BY NISSAN DEALER THAT POSSIBLE AFFIXIATION COULD RESULT FROM RUNNING THE AC AND THE EXHAUST LEAK CREATED BY THE BROKEN BOLTS. THERE WAS A QUEST THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HAD QUEST FIXED ELSEWHERE. WHEN DOING OIL CHANGE A MONTH LATER, ANOTHER QUEST WITH SAME PROBLEM. WAS TOLD BY NISSAN MECHANIC AND MY MECHANIC THAT THIS IS EXTREMELY COMMON IN THE VAN. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL DONE ON THE EXHAUST LEAK. ACCORDING TO THE NISSAN DEALER, THE EMMISIONS COULD BE NON ODOROUS AND MAY NOT BE DETECTED BY SMELL. I FEEL THIS IS EQUALLY OR EVEN MORE DANGEROUS THENA THE FUEL VENT PROBLEM BECAUSE THIS IS INVISIBLE. AT LEAST YOU COULD SMELL THE GAS LEAK AND SEE THE GAS ON THE GROUND.*AK
