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).

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
THE PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT BELTS ON MY NISSAN VAN IS IF YOU PULL THE SEAT BELT MOST OF THE WAY OUT WHEN PUTTING IT ON THEN MOVE FORWARD IT WILL LOCK UP AND ONLY TIGHTEN NEVER RELAXING IN ORDER TO LEAN FORWARD. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REMOVE THE SEAT BELT AND REFASTEN. THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA WHILE DRIVING.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL
THE FUEL TANK VENT LINE FLEXIBLE RUBBER HOSE BETWEEN THE FUEL TANK AND THE METAL VENT PIPE DEVELOPED AT LEAST TWO CRACKS IN IT. THIS IS CAUSING FUEL TO LEAK OUT OF THIS CONNECTING HOSE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS REFUELD. THIS LEAKAGE OCCURS UNTIL THE LEVEL IN THE FUEL TANK IS LOW ENOUGH THAT IT IS BELOW THE FLEXIBLE HOSE.

SUSPENSION:REAR
I CONTACTED PERFORMANCE NISSAN AND ALSO NISSAN CORPORATION SEVERAL TIMES. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO TO FIX MY REAR SUSPENSION CRACKING NOISE. ALL THEY COULD DO WAS PUT RUBBER BETWEEN THE SPRINGS IN HOPES THAT IT WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE SUSPENSION PROBLEMS. WELL, IT DID FOR ABOUT 4 OR 5 MONTHS, BUT THE CRACKING NOISE IS BACK AND WORSE THAN BEFORE. I ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT FRONT SUSPENSION CRACKING NOISES BUT ALSO WAS TOLD NOTHING COULD BE DONE. SEAT BELTS HAVE BEEN CHANGED BEFORE, BUT ARE ACTING UP AGAIN. THEY DON'T RETRACT. THE ENGINE HAS KNOCKING AND PINGING NOISES AT ALL SPEEDS, SO I TRIED SUPER UNLEADED TO SEE IF THE ENGINE KNOCKING AND PINGING NOISES WOULD STOP, BUT THEY DIDN'T. WHAT CONCERNS ME THE MOST IS THE FACT THAT MY SUSPENSION WAS INSPECTED BY NISSAN CORPORATION AND THEY THEMSELVES SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AGAIN, LIKE I SAID BEFORE, THEY PUT SOME KIND OF RUBBER BETWEEN THE SPRINGS TO QUIET THE NOISE. IT DID NOT LAST. I HAVE ASKED INDEPENDENT NISSAN DEALERS IF THEY HAVE RAN INTO THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAID YES. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT NISSAN KNOWS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THAT THEY CAN FIX IT, BUT DO NOT WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY. I BELIEVE THAT THEY WANTED FOR MY WARRANTY TO EXPIRE SO THAT I WOULD STOP COMPLAINING TO NISSAN ABOUT THEIR VEHICLE. PRETTY MUCH, IT SEEMS LIKE A BOUGHT A LEMON. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SO MANY TIMES FOR JUST ABOUT EVERY COMPONENT. IF THE OFFICE OF DEFECTS CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION AND GOT RECORDS FROM PERFORMANCE NISSAN, IN REGARDS TO MY VEHICLE, THEY WOULD SEE HOW MANY TIMES I WAS IN AND HOW THEY INCONVENIENCED ME. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO INVESTIGATE MY CONCERNS. I HOPE THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO HELP ME, SINCE I COULD NOT GET ANY RESULTS FROM NISSAN CORP NOR FROM PERFORMANCE NISSAN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS. IF PAPER WORK IS NEEDED TO SUPPORT MY CLAIMS, I HAVE PLENTY OF IT, I JUST NEED TO LOOK FOR IT. *AK

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
THE RIGHT SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT REMAIN CLOSED. THE DEALER HAS ADJUSTED IT TWICE NOW. AFTER THE LAST ADJUSTMENT THE DOOR CAME AJAR ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING DEALER. THE DEALER IS CURRENTLY SUGGESTING THAT I REPLACE BOTH LATCHES AT AN APPROXIMATE COST OF $265.00 ALTHOUGH HE CANNOT ASSURE ME THAT THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM SINCE THE LATCHES DID NOT APPEAR TO BE BROKEN WHEN ADJUSTED. *AK
